Same old Liverpool...Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Boring football...Soooooooooo disappointed. Has high expectation this season but.........how to compete with MU n Arsenel...not even mention Cheski. If we continue playing like this, we will be the same as last season..flighting for 4 place. What a shame.
I hate to say this but look at MU, the way they play u can feel the goal is coming anytime....as for us we just waiting for some luck! (This may work for knock out competition but definately NOT in EPL)
Garcia n Morientes has an awful game...Finnan, Alonso n even Cisse all has a bad game.
Really dnt understand why Rafa play Cisse on the right wing????? He cant has a decent cross!
We only look lively after Baros came in......he started to learn how to pass the ball, tat's good!
To me, sell Morientes keep Baros....Nando just can't perform! He is too slow, EPL is really not his place. Have been giving him too many chances but he has bad days more than he has good days...
Hope yesterday is our worst performanace this season...........Ah men.

Looking on the bright side, we kept a clean sheet. Boro rarely threatened at all and Reina had not much to do, though the few times he was in action, he wasn't that impressive.
We should have won this match easily by at least 2 goals.
Stevie G - unlucky not to have scored.
Nando - Didnt impress again, but didnt get much of service either
Garcia - very disappointing
Cisse - good down the flanks supply the crosses. But I'd rather have someone else doing that and Cisse waiting in the box to score.
Baros - Lively as usual. Had 1 superb defence splitting pass to Stevie G.

think you're too hard on morientes.did you see how the team was playing in most parts of the games? there was morientes......and everybody else. he was just too isolated. no matter how good he is, you cannot expect him to take on both southgate and ehiogu (and sometimes boateng). there just wasn't any support for him. he gave a glimpse of what he could do with his header down for gerard in the first half. and he did what he was asked of, he pressed the boro backline and challenged for headers. there just wasn't adequate service from the wings and support from the midfield.
i truly question rafa's decison to put cisse on the right rather than playing off morientes, especially when a man up. i know i am just an armchair amateur but for me, i would have thought a switch to 4-4-2 was in order. put cisse up there and tell him to press the boro line and pretty much stick to southgates sleeves. with ehiogu out, southgate was the most experienced man and the one organising the back. with cisse stuck to him, he has no choice but to keep his attention exclusively on cisse and this may affect the organisation of the boro line. let baros run at the backline. put gerrard on the right but rather than him and zenden hugging the lines, make them play inward and make diagonal runs into the box. finnan and warnock can stay wide and supply the passes. the point is to make boro focus toward the center and then disrupt them with zenden and gerard. there's no need to keep gerard in the middle cos sissoko and xabi had the middle under control.
it simply shows a lack of ambition when you are still playing 4-5-1 with a forward playing out of position when you're a man up. by all means, we need to avoid being overconfident and let slip a goal but we need to try to win this kind of matches.
all is not lost. overall, we did better than we would have last season. we let slip our hold on the game late in the first half and i was worried. if boro was gonna score, it was during the last 5 min of the first half. we still tend to finish halves weakly, dunno why. our fitness should be better than that.
goalkeeper: i felt reina is a little slow. he always takes too many touches on the backpass and had to send the ball out for throw in rather than initiating an attack. and he was slow to recover after flapping at the ball in the first half (we were lucky then). a premiership keeper must act on instinct. you can almost see reina pausing to think. not good. but generally, he was solid and made pretty good decisions though he need to make them faster. not really tested.
defence: pretty solid, held the line. but i forsee trouble in that we were almost unhinged a couple of times by long passes. need to react faster.
midfield: i thought sissoko did very well. a little cagey at the start and was outmuscled by boateng but he stuck to it and got better as the game goes on. very hardworking and energetic. gerrard was great. i know he missed many sitters but the fact that he got there so many times was gratifying. he will score sooner or later. xabi showed some nice distribution and did pretty well but i felt he could be more ambitious. he tends to spread the ball to the flanks but i noticed he rarely tries to put the ball through to the forwards. he's a good passer and should sometimes try to be more direct in his passing to catch opponents out. garcia sucked. his only moment was when he made me smile by playing cute after that terrible tackle and actually escaped a yellow.
attack: morientes was too isolated to do much. baros was actually pretty good. he learnt to pass and make a nice pass to gerrard that got ehiogu sent off. i still think he'd make a nice sub to unsettle defences. cisse wasn't even playing as a striker but he did try in the wings and got a nice cross in. but one thing that had always made me doubt him a little is that while he is fleet of foot, he seems to be a little slow to react. he always needs a second before he moves and this negates his speed a little. he needs to work on his awareness and decision making. if he can think fast on his feet, he can get a jump on defenders and use his pace to their best advantage.
overall, nice play in the second 2/3 of the pitch but poor in the final third. not enough movement (except gerrard) and the quality of the final pass is poor. the team doesn't play enough one-twos with one another. i always feel that the quick one-two is often the best way to open up a defence and english defences are particularly poorly equipped to deal with them.
sorry for being so long winded but i was so frustrated watching the match that i was still pissed whn i woke up. needed to release my frustration by contributing my uninformed opinion :sweat:
