Liverpool 0:0 Blackburn Rovers. In game & and post match debate.

Markovich is  lacking in  confidence

Or just lacking...maybe?

Doesn't matter what his name is, if he's good in the air then he's a threat. Matt Smith for Oldham a few years ago is another example. Our current back 3 don't seem to be able to jump high enough to deal with him.

We struggle with any big striker that isn't afraid to challenge in the air. It's been an ongoing problem for a few years now.

Johnson...yikes...awful pass

Disagree, think his technical ability makes him a great fit for this side. Its the lack of pace which stops him being world class

Makes him a large distance off world class though.

It depends where you set your standards then, if you're happy for the standard Lallana offers then that's your standard, I would prefer actually having a world class player in there rather than settling for what we have. Which to be fair, is a large distance off world class.

Markovic has been good so far.

Very impressed with Sterling's work rate in the first half...he seems to be EVERYWHERE on the left side of the pitch...

but cou isnt pacey either, neither was suarez. i think lallanna will fit well into the team regardless of lack of pace.

Both of them have a burst of pace that is deceptive, that's how they leave players in their wake. Over a long distance they'd both leave Lallana miles behind too. In a short distance they'd leave him chasing shadows too. There's a difference between pace not being your main asset and having "enough" to make do. I don't think he does.

His value is nowhere near the ammount of money we spent on him.

Disagree, but I can't be arsed to argue, because the problem with match threads is that whilst we are winning all our players are world class and when they are not everyone is sh*te. There's no middle ground and no space for reason. As it stands Lallana is one of our better players.

Jesus, Lovren..........

They are very organised at the back and we have no clue what to do.

Jesus, Lovren..........

I'm sure he'd love to change his name to that.

Jesus, Lovren..........

Can cleaning the mess ... gets yellow

We need to be more patient in the build-up. Enough of silly Balotelli-esque long shots or those silly crosses that are so easy to deal with.

I'd switch Lallana and Sterling at half just to give it a different feel in the final third.

Not at all, I'd have the same observation winning or losing.

Lallana is a long way from "one of our better players", I'd happily see him replaced in the summer. Winning or losing.

How the F**k is that not a free kick? Can got booked for a similar thing ffs.

Can having to take a yellow because of another sh*te Lovren pass

Lovren needs to take himself off!

This is what I'm talking about. Rubbish spoken because we aren't winning. Re: Long distance; Lallana was in the top 5 last year (and is currently this year) for distance covered per game.

Scrappy half to say the least.

Well, points for consistency, but you lose them for that consistent opinion being silly.

We're not talking distance covered, we're talking pace.
