[Archived] Liverpool V Rovers

[AssClown]

Sickening to hear Robbie Slater on Fox Sports at half time licking Liverpool's @rse. Trying to argue that Gerrards dive was a penalty.

Samba was very fortunate. He did again almost exactly what he was sent off for in his last game. A very lucky lad.

[AggyBlue]

Seems like we are playing in sloooooooow mooooooootion compared to the scousers.

Giving them far too much time and space, I hope Hughsies going to wind them up during the break.

I think its down due to inexperience. Sparky needs to nip it into the bud that's for sure.

The sky coverage is so biased. Didn't mention the Roberts offside/onside.

*Edit* now they are talking about it... for 5 seconds lol

I switch off at half-time. He can be an assclown sometimes.

I would think that the game has not been even so far. Liverpool is a shade above at the moment. But the game could go as easily our way as it will theirs. As already mentioned by RibbleValleyRover, Bentley needs to be released for that to happen, because he simply can't get into the game by being in the middle. There is not enough happening creatively to work the Liverpool defence.

As stated earlier, we're badly losing the midfield battle. Vogel looks lost out there.

They are out 'blackburning' us at the mo, closing us down everywhere on the pitch.

I would take Roberts off he's been hopeless again, you need a better first touch against good opposition. Also not seen much of him being 'strong' or 'quick' as everyone usually defends him with.

He has proven time and again he only ever makes an impact from the bench. (in my opinion anyway)

[Exiled_Rover]

Lucky sods.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Told you we were giving Gerrard too much time and space on the ball 1-0 Liverpool

[tcj_jones]

This is an absolute shambles, an utterly woeful "performance". Not one of our players has played better than a 4/10 or 5/10.

Samba AGAIN as the last man tries to get himself sent off. Thank Christ for the ref. Friedel inexplicably comes out for a ball he should never have gone for and does enough to give away what wouldn have been a penalty on 8/10 occasions.

This squad really needs heavy investment. I don't know how we are sitting in the top half of the league.

Getting completely overrun now. If we don't pick up we'll be lucky not to lose by 2 or 3.

He's the only player we have with pace, he needs to be on the pitch.

[Mr. E]

Just get rid of Samba already. Enough is enough and he's nothing but a liability.

[Russ]

Useless if you don't do anything with it tho, he has fell over like a featherweight everytime he's had chance to use it.

Linford Christie was fast - it doesn't, however, make him a good footballer!!

Funny how posts like that always appear after we concede...

It isn't anywhere near that bad. We defended very well in the first half (Samba's 'foul' excepted), and we are only half way through the second. We have struggled to do anything further up the pitch though. Vogel and Bentley have been outnumbered in the centre, and our forwards have not been able to put their defence under any pressure.

On come Benni and Dunny to try to make a difference??

[RibbleValleyRover]

Skrtel should be off?!? Last man push on Roberts

[BiggusLaddus]

Only a yellow card for professional foul now is it?

[Tango]

Wiley bottles it. Disgrace.

[Exiled_Rover]

Typical big club decision that. If that's Nelsen on Torres, Ryan's off.

[greggyk]

Even lawro saying it was a clear red card!

[AggyBlue]

It's poor, poor, poor.

Or should that be poo, poo, poo

I've been tutting, looking away, swearing, huffing and puffing the entire game. Every time we get the ball, we give it straight back to them. We've made mistake after mistake, we've created next to nothing, missed tackles, given stupid free kicks away. Our passing has been dreadful and our midfield completely dominated.

This has been a shambles and we deserve to be 3 - 0 down.

[USABlue]

Now I want an explanation as to why that was not a red, "by the letter of the law" etc etc. Roberts last man funny though the seemingly Liverpool fan commentators thought it should only be a yellow. What a load of ######. I thought the FA were investigating match fixing.

[tcj_jones]

Rubbish. Forgotten how only an hour or so ago Samba should have been sent off for a clear foul as the last man?

The foul the referee didn't give?
