A very physical target man for Norwich, has conceeded 3 times as many free kicks as any of his team mates this season (21). However, he has also drawn the most fouls for his team (18) despite only starting half his sides games.

61 Suarez offside, he's starting to boil over. 'Hilarious' Norwich fans in Scouser wigs and taches tell him to calm down.

On the goal, Pepe should have left it to the defenders. Shame, so uncharacteristic that, normally excellent at choosing when to punch.

See here now we have the problem with missing those 2/3 chances. We really should be 4/5 goals up, but now that we have missed so many chances we are level. Now we have to do all the hard work again to get back in front.

Agreed, I wish Suarez was more clinical also. Same we couldn´t give him Fowlers leg peg!

63 Gerrard passes into touch after Norwich possession. We're getting scrappy here. Dangerous times.

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #125 on:** October 22, 2011, 06:54:02 pm »

64 Kuyt through ball to...absolutely no-one. Ragged.

SRAWL · « **Reply #126 on:** October 22, 2011, 06:54:21 pm »

Liverpool are now backing away from Norwich as if we are playing Barcelona. Norwich are taking the initiative and are attacking attacking attacking. We need to make a change here to kick them into gear. Could lose another goal if we don't.

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #127 on:** October 22, 2011, 06:54:47 pm »

64 Norwich pushing us back and looking the more likely to score.
Holt heads, straight at Pepe! Great reaction save.

Norfolk is a bit behind in the times. They are probably only seeing Harry Enfield now in fairness. In 20 years they´ll all be doing Vicky Pollard!

65 Hendo warming up. Adam goes down on edge of area, no foul and Norwich nick it.

Chakan · « **Reply #130 on:** October 22, 2011, 06:55:57 pm »

So easy now for Norwich! Holt free again at the far post and Reina makes up for his blunder by keeping us in the game. Defense going to sleep again. We are trying to plug gushing cracks with corks and it's just not working i'm afraid.

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #131 on:** October 22, 2011, 06:56:12 pm »

66 Bellamy up left, jinks inside to cross, cleared. Downing closed down twice when about to pull trigger. Suarez shoots, saved, corner.

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #132 on:** October 22, 2011, 06:56:57 pm »

67 Corner taken, cleared. Back in, cleared again.

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #133 on:** October 22, 2011, 06:58:01 pm »

68 Henderson comes on for Craig Bellamy. Bar the offsides, good game from CB

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #134 on:** October 22, 2011, 06:58:44 pm »

68 Adam to Suarez, long range shot with right straight at the Ruddy keeper.

SRAWL · « **Reply #135 on:** October 22, 2011, 06:58:47 pm »

That is a bit of a surprise - Bellamy off and Hendo on. Bellamy has been pretty good.

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #136 on:** October 22, 2011, 06:59:45 pm »

69 Good interplay between Downing and Enrique, but Enrique takes one too many touches and loses it

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #137 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:00:21 pm »

70 Norwich attack, no danger, through to Pepe.

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #138 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:00:54 pm »

71 Suarez lays it off to Hendo who crosses it back to him but too high, keeper takes

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #139 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:01:35 pm »

71 Ball breaks to Hoolahan who charges in and volleys left footed, high and wide

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #140 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:02:13 pm »

72 Downing loses it, Norwich attack up the right, eventually cleared from corner flag by Skrtel

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #141 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:03:11 pm »

73 Norwich throw in, into box, cleared and we punt it high and long. Suarez cannot control. Need to keep the ball on the floor here.

BabuYagu · « **Reply #142 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:03:11 pm »

Why do we always look good in the first half and fragile in the second half? Is it fitness? Can we not keep up intensity for long periods?

Not sure myself but it is a major worry. The fact it is happening almost every game indicates it´s not just a consistancy issue.

One day, just one day, we'll actually kill a team off before it gets to this stage...

It's a big neon sign to what is wrong start to finish with us at the moment. Chances wasted , hitting the post 3 times and the defense capitulating when we need them to hold strong. Reina at fault this time, with Carra and Johnson to share some of it. If we don't fix these problems it's going to be a long season.

Say what you want about United/City and Chelsea when the chances come they7 times out of 10 will take the chance and win the game.

BabuYagu · « **Reply #144 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:03:54 pm »

Carroll getting his boots on. We´ll be seeing him in some minutes. My guess will be either Adam or Kuyt off.

SRAWL · « **Reply #145 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:04:16 pm »

Liverpool's sub has not really changed anything - Norwich are still holding a lot of the possession and Liverpool are getting very few chances.

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #146 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:04:35 pm »

74 Another overhit pass from Hendo who hasn't found his range. Suarez goes down after another great turn but slips, no foul. Norwich long, pass it around, long ball, Skrtel half clears, ball out for throw in

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #147 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:05:03 pm »

Over to Chakan to commentate us to victory.

Chakan · « **Reply #148 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:07:46 pm »

77 Liverpool build with Adam, who is pushed from beind and gets the freekick, taken quickly, Gerrard tries to play in Suarez, who steals the ball from the slipping defender, fires a low shot in and saved for a corner , nothing comes from it. At the other end Reina plays sweeper and clears up

BabuYagu · « **Reply #149 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:08:21 pm »

Liverpool have had 25 shots but just 8 on target this game.

The most wasteful is Downing 0 of 6 on target.
Kuyt 0 of 2
Johnson 0 of 1
Skrtel 0 of 1
Bellamy 2 of 4
Suarez 5 of 10
Gerrard 1 of 1

Freekick for Norwich, Downing off Carroll on

SRAWL · « **Reply #151 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:09:10 pm »

Carroll for Downing - Not surprised as Downing has been poor in this game. Come on Andy!

Chakan · « **Reply #152 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:10:07 pm »

80 Freekick for Norwich is floated in and Barnett with a free header , it weak and Pepe goes for the long punt to Suarez, who might have been brought down, nothing given

Can't agree with that mate, he's put in a few quality crosses which we've wasted again.

82 Kuyt gets into a good position on the edge of the box, but chooses the wrong option and has a crack it's blocked, Carrol with a big jump to get the ball to Suarez in an offside position, missed the goal anyway

BabuYagu · « **Reply #155 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:11:26 pm »

Fantastic target man play there by Carroll who won 2 challenges in a row against both Norwich center halves. That´s one of the few times I've seen him allowed to challenge a defender and it not be a FK this season

The 5th Benitle · « **Reply #156 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:12:00 pm »

Maxxis Tyres ad on the hoardings. Must be a message to Kenny to get Maxi on. I would, anyway.

Chakan · « **Reply #157 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:13:09 pm »

83 Morrison in the middle of the pitch has a run at goal, and feed Holt on the left his shot is blocked and out for a corner, cleared out by Adam and liverpool break with Enrique but his cross is wasteful and out

I don't think he has been particularly brilliant mate. I think Bellamy was more effective than Downing.

Chakan · « **Reply #159 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:15:16 pm »

86 Adam with a great run down the wing gets into the box and is tackled in the box, subsequently taken out. Somehow that's a freekick to Norwich. Baffling
