Carling Cup QF: Liverpool v Arsenal (Take 2) - Lost 6-3 !

garcia is soft on the ball and some players are just past it and our reserve players are crap
rafa needs to SORT it out

like I siad before, We are too litrweight and too slow !!   simple

We need pacey defender - sammy is too slow

Very worried about this You're on Sky Sports - some clowns are going to be on.

Im getting pretty tires og guessing the team when we play. Lokk at Chelsea. How many gamnes does Cech,Terry,Carvealho,Lampard,Makele, Drogba and Cole miss when they are injury free. None

We dont even got one player except garragher maybe who are playing all the games.

We should have a backbone of Reina, garragher, Agger, Riise, Finnan,Gerrard, Kuyt and Crough in our line up every game. Every fuc... game, no matter what compitition.

Whit this backbone we could use Sissoko, Alonso to shift partnership with gerrard and have back ups in som of the other players.

But we need to get rid of GARCIA - PRONTO. There must be a club willing to pay 6-7 million pounds for him.

Excellent point.  They're professional athletes - too much pissing around with the team.  And as for Garcia I have said before he is one of our more 'saleable' assets.

Oh god - here we go with the Sky phone-in.   Chris Thompson - you're a f***ing disgrace for leaving your team at 5-1 down - yes we were sh*t but You'll Never Walk Alone (remember).  If I ever find you I am going to break your f***ing legs.  (in fact it sounds like that fat pr**k that runs that Kopshite website)

weve gt no pace up front only bellamy non in mid and non in defence

Scoucers need to be hear tonight - wish we could get all our posts up there!!

I think Agger will fit that bill, if rafa would give him a good run in the team.
As for garcia, I wouldn't be so quick to ship him out. He gives us good service in europe.

My brother just emailed me, he's a RED too, he said he's lost £100 on a work bet with a mate, and also said - get rid of Hyypia - too slow, get rid of Garcia - liability, get rid of Pauletta - fool, rid of Bellamy, club too big for him, and get shot of Benitez.....fast.

An embarassment, team played like strangers, Yet again no cutting edga up front. We need to get some pace and strength in the squad, but more importantly a bit of quality, all of which is sadly lacking at present.
All tonight proved was what I had not wanted to admit, we are n't good enough, the fourth best team in the League.
Hopefully now some solutions can be found instead of pretending there's nothing wrong.

So everybody get pulling in the same direction and sort this out

Well im not far from it me either. Hes(rafa) pissing around with the team. He must understand hes not in spain. Every team can beat yopu in england. So stay with one backbone and shift the othres. The best players should ALWAYS play until someone are better.

And Garcia againg. SELL SELL SELL. I will give Rafael benitez one more season with some millions to spend. But thats his last chance

And by the way: Why the fuc... areent we buying Wright Phillips

Nice one about Andy Gray though, mind you he's always worth comedy value with his commentating

Thank You Mikaels - WHY aren't we?

haha, you know the score smiggs - He's a total pr**k.
That first tackle on Fowler, he called it a clean tackle - excuse me but full studs showing and Fowler went flying.(yes he won the ball, but you can do that with both feet).
anyway, lets not take anything away from Arsenal - GOOD LUCK.

We are sh*t

Man City fan here..in peace. Got to say it's not good for the game football to see Liverpool concede 6 at home, it just should never happen..Football's changing so much with squad roation/ weakened sides for the league cup/ atmosphere declining. Somethings are worth protecting, and Anfield should be a place that teams fear to go..it makes getting any sort of result there a real acheivement, I think Rafa's squad selection tonight chipped away at that reputation. Good luck with your RTK campaign.

Thanks mate... at least we know we've got some support from other clubs.
Here's a reminder lads/lasses Everton conceeded 7 goals in each of two games against Arsenal in two seasons...
Remember that, I WILL FOR TOMORROW!

In hindsight.  We should have played in the Fog.

We should have....
Maybe things would of turned out different...

Rafa: Post Match Comments

"We did use a lot of players from the first-team squad, but they also changed many players.

The problem was conceding goals like we did.

We used senior players and young players, I do not point the finger at anyone.

We tried to do our best, but we conceded goals and you cannot change the result now. All I can say is `sorry' to our supporters.

Arsenal did not have too many chances, and it was very much like on Saturday in the FA Cup when they scored from virtually every chance they had,

This time was the same, they scored six from as many chances. We can always talk about players and tactics, but you need to score goals and that is what they did.

It was a bad game for us. But in a lot of years managing and training teams you learn to accept these things and put them behind you as soon as possible and think now about the Premier League and the Champions League.

It is easy to talk afterwards, but we conceded a goal every time they came forward."


He did apologise to the fans.

Ah well.  The good news is that next up at Anfield we've got Chelsea.

Oh dear........

Gobsmacked! Can't really speak as shocked by what I've just witnessed.

Suffice to say I never thought I would see the reds concede 6 goals at home..ever!!!

Bad week all round for the reds....regroup and move on...but this defeat does hurt no matter what may be posted here...6 goals.....past managers would have been lynched for a result like that (Suness, Roy Q spring to mind).

Rafa needs to get us going again..and quickly.....but these two results must have damaged morale.

At least its only Watford next......

ooooops that wasnt supposed to happen
