Basel 1 - 0 Liverpool: In Game & Post Game Wonderings (again).

Wheres the urgency? Last season we took it as a personal insult if teams scored against us.

I hate posts like this one but if we had suarez we would have been winning this game. No, I'm ashamed of posting this but I can't force myself to stop because I whole heartily believe it to be the case.

So do I. On the brighter side I believe this would be the case with Sturridge playing.

It's a damning indictment on Balotelli I'm afraid. A damning indictment.

Frustrating night, worrying performance, players not performing, scary to think about all the possibilities at the end of the season.

Let Gerrard take the free kick!

If it stays at 1-0 then Raheem has cost us a point

Never go that far - Mario has been awful today, won freekicks but that's about it...

The physio would have done better than Sterling today.

And the tea lady

So do I. On the brighter side I believe this would be the case with Sturridge playing.

It's a damning indictment on Balotelli I'm afraid. A damning indictment.

he just doesn't fit with a high tempo pressing passing game does he .

Difference is, he was playing in a team that suited his style.

Then why bother buying him?

I hate posts like this one but if we had suarez we would have been winning this game.

No we wouldn't, he is still banned so he'd have been watching if we still had him. Remember that. All theses games that people are saying "if we only had Luis" well you might as well say if we'd only had Messi cause there would have been a better chance of that after Luis got banned.

come on Steve!!! do it

Gerrard not letting go of the ball for this one.

When has Mario been good for us? Let alone when has Mario been good for Milan? Honestly that apart from that Manchester derby and couple of Italy games. Mario has never been good.

Mario is the best play on the team, tonight, in my opinion. Tried a lot, but it's not easy to be a striker on a team that can't create and don't have plays for a striker.

Then why bother buying him?

Could say that about any player. We don't know how any player would adjust to the system of the team until they are playing for us. If you take that approach then we'd never sign anyone.

No we wouldn't, he is still banned so he'd have been watching if we still had him. Remember that. All theses games that people are saying "if we only had Luis" well you might as well say if we'd only had Messi cause there would have been a better chance of that after Luis got banned.

don't think that's the point people are making I think it is that we are still playing as if Luis was still here we have not adopted at all

Never go that far - Mario has been awful today, won freekicks but that's about it...

Doesn't he enjoy playing for us? He never smiles at all!

Do we score proper goals from open play anymore?

So the Everton and Spurs performance, the most similar to last seasons, appear to be in short supply and not a week in week out standard

We really do lack any fight up top... Starting to really miss Studge - and starting to lose patience with Mario and his antics. Stop backing yourself in a corner and make a run for god sake!

Why be ashamed, because you're just stating what many of us are thinking. There is no point burying our heads in the sand, that's what Mancs do, we have problems, we just need to find a solution.

Do we score proper goals from open play anymore?

Sadly, no.

Stay the F**k onside

Do we score proper goals from open play anymore?

Eeeeeerrrrr,      No !
