Birmingham 0-0 Liverpool: In-game & post-match midfield bashing

Which wankers voted Lucas and Johnson?

I'll own up to voting Poulsen, thought he was immense yesterday  

Your joking right ?

Your joking right ?

The best midfielder at this club since Souness. F***ing epic.

The best midfielder at this club since Souness. F***ing epic.

Now I know your taking the piss

He is w**ker than the wankiest wankstain.

Still to early to tell 

Gerrard is not finished it is F***ing obvious the Gerrard and Torres combination does not work when you do not have a Xabi Alonso in midfield. I wish Roy would sit down and watch a few videos from last season so he can see this.

Gerrard is absolutely wasted in that position, look how much better we looked when he went back into centre midfield.

There must be relations of Poulsen and Lucas on the site as well F**k me who else could have voted for them.

 As obvious as day who was man of the match for Liverpool yesterday Reina, anyone that thinks Lucas or Poulsen was better than him needs to be committed to a mental institution for a very long time.

I would love to see Gerrard & Meriles (?) in the middle with Cole behind Torres, theres some sexy football!
Put on the wings who you wish- Pacheco on the left & Kuyt on the right, decent starting 11 and a decent bench!

And i will get more angry and frustrated as the season wears on, and Roy turns out to be stubborn & clueless.

Sounds like a big gay romp.

haha!

God! I dont even know why i am shocked by that comment!

Excuse me? - Gerrard was sh*t yesterday, Just because I didnt mention him, doesn't mean I felt he had a good game. I just felt he was not worth mentioning as he was not the worst player out there

Nah lad you mentioned who was "poor".. Your words not mine.. Gerrard was poor and you didnt mention...

I know it sounds like i'm picking at your post.. my bad.. I'm proper bitchin today.. *sighs*

Gerrard has just bossed two games for England and looked like he was loving every minute so what happens when he gets back to his club ,play him in the whole behind a half fit Torres and starve him of any decent service by picking two midfield players who cant see a pass beyond 5 yards ,from what we seen of Meireles he could be the man to make the Torres/Gerrard option work .

haha!

God! I dont even know why i am shocked by that comment!

Don't be shocked by my innuendo, you'll get used to it.

In your endo

Post match midfiled bashing 

In fairness to the 2 blonde bombshells in the centre the 2 wide lads were shi*e as well. Worst midfield in years

This talk of Gerrard being finished is so fookin stupid.. He's not in form yet and probably unhappy with the way things are at the club.. No biggie.. At his best he's incomparable to none and at his most average he's still better than most.. I'm not worrying at all.. Yes i think Roy's the "Wrong man" to take us forward but with Raul and Cole back i don't think we'll be this sh*te for long..

I was just trying to second-quess Hodgson and work out what his ideal lineup might be. Thought I'd worked it out until I realised I had 12 players on the pitch,
 
                  Reina
Johnson  Carra  Skrtel  Konchesky
                Poulsen
        Gerrard      Meireles
Kuyt                                Jova
                  Cole
                 Torres

Maybe Cole is going to have to play a slightly wider role instead of Kuyt?

                  Reina

             Carra  Skrtel  
Johnson                      Konchesky
                  Poulsen

          Gerrard
Cole                                Jova
                     Meireles

                 Torres

Oh I don't know!
What I do know, judging by the Brum game is that Poulsen isn't all that bad, he didn't set the world on fire but did a better job than Lucas. With Meireles on the pitch as well, he could be useful.
Konchesky looked decent enough though I'm not surprised, I rate him anyway.
Meireles looked excellent but he was coming on when everyone was getting tired so we'll have to see how he copes with a few games under his belt.

I must admit I was surprised when I saw the title of this thread.

I don't think the defence or attack covered themselves in glory.  Especially the number of crosses we allowed in.

HOPEfully, things will be better when Meireles is in and Cole is back.  I think Gerrard might up his game when his England bessy Joe Cole is in the side.  And as much as he gets on my nerves, I even think we miss Kuyt in away games.

Anyone remember this

Oooooooh oooohhhh we've got the best midfield in the world

We've got Xabi Alonso, Momo Sissoko, Gerrard and Mascheranoooo!!!

Nobody aside from Pepe the great covered themselves in glory (in my opinion Koncheskey done a decent job) yesterday. But as bad as the top 2 were it would help if the 4 behind them created something for them

The fetus (as a lad behind us at the game called him  ) was pretty poor for me Bri. They all were in my view apart from the keeper, but if we're gonna single anyone out, I'd say Johnson was just about the worst for us. If there's one thing that absolutely makes my blood boil, it's a Liverpool player being half hearted when putting the pressure on.

As for the two in the middle of the pitch, they can't be slated for being played together. Two negatives don't make a positive. Lucas resembles Jamie Redknapp at times passing the ball sideways and Poulsen thinks too slow. I'm fed up with our engine room being out-thought and bettered by the opposition. And that's why I'd have Gerrard back in the middle all day long. I don't think Gerrard is playing much better lately anyway but there's less chance of him going hiding in the middle and it gives the opposition something to think about. Let's face it, being defensive in midfield invites serious pressure. I'd never play those two together in the middle ever again because it deems us toothless.

I think we are far unbalanced towards not losing than going out there with the intention to win and it F***ing pisses me right off. The players have about 10 minutes from the kick off where they look like they believe they can smash someone but it quickly drains out of them. The encouragement disappears and the frustration starts kicking in.

He's not finished by a long shot, and I would never say he is (until he actually is )

But yesterday he was piss poor, not just by his standards, but by anyones.

He seemed to be in good enough form for England - he needs to bring that form back to us as well.

Sideways passing from Gerrard. Shock horror. Where's his mention on being absolutely sh*te?

Slap a blonde wig on him and you'd be fu**ed trying to figure out who was the real Poulsen/Lucas.

Poulson, Maxi and Lucas haven't got a decent forward pass between them. We have now played 4 games and scored just 2 goals while conceding 4. Both goals have been scored by forwards, it's going to be a long season, on the plus side Raul looked good and Paul looked ok, thank god we have got Pepe!!!.

I hate to be the one to say it but "here we go again" really frustrated with yesterday's result, however I think we were bloody lucky to get a point after the work Birmingham put in, we are extremely lucky to have Reina else it could have been a completely different result.  I was quite impressed with Meriles late on though and we did look like a better unit pushing forward, so Woy start him next time alongside Lucas and see what happens. 

Before this game I had a feeling that this could be important in many ways, mainly for our away league form but also to break the association of the away draws against teams we should be beating in our sleep!
