Re: Liverpool Thread
Gee lads...
I never saw, a good (!) game by LFC - yes, we DID play well - destoyed SO MUCH, by Rafa's player-choises and... his HUGE mistake of using ALL the time, the two center-backs (Hyipia & Garrager). These two lads, are TOTALY "BURNED"!!!
They're STILL playing - NON-STOP! - since August 2004, when LFC was start playing fro the EPIC Champions League FINALS of 2005...
The guys - Hyipia & Garrager - are TOTALY tirred!
The team CLOSED ALL ARSENAL's "lines" for scoring; Henry was TOTALY "gone" from the middle-fielders, he couldn't find a way to deploy; V. PERSY... where was he? Our lines "closed" him too...
BUT... ALL ARSENAL's goals came from OUR CENTER of defence! Did you saw them carrefully - the goals? In ALL THREE goals, the center of our defence was "gone"!
In the first one, 3 players COULDN'T STOP the guy - and HE WAS OFFSIDE TOO! (were tirred and waiting the first half's end whistle-sound).
In the second... there was a HUGE "HOLE" of 6 yards between Hyipia & Garrager! A SLOW - not EVEN FAST - through-pass, cut in two our defence line!
In the third goal... WHAT EXACTLY did our defence??? Hyipia was 3-4 yeards OUTSIDE the small (goalkeeper) square-area, Riise was... STANDING STEEL doing nothing - not covering any area (that's why GERRARD was YELLING to him so much!), Garrager was SO "crach-tirred" and COULDN'T follow an opponent... and GALLAS was TOTALY ALONE, in the MIDDLE of our defence!
HOW STUPID Rafa is, to using the VERY SAME players, for ALMOST 2 years in the row??? What the F**K we buying SUBs for??? To... cleaning the pench? To sheating and watching the games from close distance?
Rafa put in the game Agger, AFTER HE WAS LOOSING by three goals!
And... he put STEVIE G. in his possition (center) and PENNANT on the right, when he SHOULD START THE F**KING GAME with THIS FORMATION!
And... the "tall-guy" (Crouch) wasn't in his best performance... He FOUGHT well in the top of LFC offence, but he COULDN'T yesterday to play as he does...
Generally... if Rafa was USING in all the "easy" games, the REST CENTER-BACKS (if he THINKS he DOESN'T have some good ones, LET'S talk to the Chair-man AND BUY SOME!), if Rafa was RESTING enough Hyipia & Garrager,... we WOULDN'T loose yesterday.
Perhaps we WOULDN'T won aswell, but we WOULDN'T loose also!
(And that's makes me MAD about that, is the fact that WE PLAY REALLY WELL in the first half and the 15 first minutes of the second... while ARSENAL wasn't in a GOOD PERFORMANCE night!...)
Also... We are quite unlucky, to have 3 SERIOUS/IMPORTANT games AS VISITORS with rivals teams, in the FIRST period of the League!
Anyway... We'll MEET them again in ANFIELD!
