Blackburn score from a corner, completely against the run of play. God hates us.

Quote from: thekitkatshuffler on December 26, 2011, 03:49:25 pm

It's utterly ridiculous how far onto the back four both Adam and Henderson are dropping. Whenever we get Johnson or Enrique making moves down the right both of them hang back with no ambition to join in the attacks. Doing my fucking head in.

Mine too.

FUCK ME

1-0 Rovers Morten Gamst Pedersen swings in a corner from the right and Charlie Adam - stationed at the front post - can only shin the ball into the roof of the net in front of a stunned Kop.

Utterly unbelievable. Our midfield is pretty much invisible and we are constantly smashing balls into the box for Carroll. Thought that corner was a foul to be honest - you could see the defender pushing Agger in the back, but the defence should have been better.

Really poor from Adam. He's at the nearpost, he should put his head on it. He's also not imposing himself on a midfield that's hardly full of stars.

Quote from: bryanod on December 26, 2011, 03:53:04 pm

Is anyone actually surprised at how poor we look with the centre-mid combo and Carroll upfront? No movement, pace or invention in and around the box, well, because none of them have it.

Changes, now, before its too late, and stop trying it, it doesn't work.

Save us Steven Gerrard, you're our only hope.

Welcome back to the second half, Liverpool kicking from the Anfield Road End to the Kop. Gerrard and Bellamy are warming up on the sidelines.

Downing wins a throw in and sets up a Suarez run, his cross deflects to Adam whose volley is blocked. Henderson wins back the ball and sends Suarez in the box, he tries to go past Hanley but is blocked himself.

Handball shout, wrong in my view. Off the chest of one of the Blackburn CBs.

Liverpool appeal for a penalty maxi crosses the ball in and it deflects of a rovers defenders hand and out for a corner

Carroll does well in letting the ball drop for Suarez, but it ping pongs around and the referee blows his whistle before Suarez's shot is saved. Seems to be for a handball.

Suarez looks like hes going to cry lovely bit of skill in the box chipping the ball back and forth over samba before shooting straight at the keeper but once again the linesman calls him offside replay shows samba kicked suarez hand during that piece of skill

Suarez brings the ball down brilliantly in the box, turns once, twice, but then the ball is cleared by Samba.

Maxi scores!

Skrtel with an acrobatic cross to Maxi at the left post, who just has to nod it in.

Adam sends a long cross in to Carroll, but his header is well over the bar.

Suarez passes it left to Enrique, who rather optimistically blasts the ball over the bar.

Have you or FS seen anything to suggest we can score from open play? Because the Carroll chance apart, I'm struggling to think of when Bunn's had to make a save?

And it's not just Adam that's been disappointing. Maxi and Suarez have had a few clever darts into the box but Carroll, Downing and to a lesser extent Henderson have hardly bossed this match.

- Agree before the goal.

Suarez earns a corner, the resultant corner finds him unmarked but his free header flashes past the post.

A Downing cross bounces off Samba's head, Carroll tries a heroic overhead kick which is cleared by Hanley, falls to Adam who misses yet again from a long shot.

To prove his shitness this match, Henderson's free kick goes directly into the welcoming arms of Bunn.

Captain Marvel prepares to return to the grass of Anfield.

Suarez wins a free kick, quickly gives it to Downing who sends him on his way, and he wins another free kick on the right edge of the box. All in ten seconds.

Gerrard's first act is to deliver a picture perfect free kick (that's how you do a free kick Hendo) right onto Maxi's head, and it's just over the bar.

Daniel Agger bizarrely has gotten himself booked for diving.

We should put some heat on this Bunn bloke.

Hoilett's fucked his hamstring, that's their most lethal attacking threat off then.

Looks like we will cool our interest in Hoilett (if we had any). Apologies for slow PMs - I had to replace the Turkey that was on the treadmill powering my internet for a chicken.

Enrique tries to pick out Suarez in the box, but the deflection is met by a Gerrard volley, which sails over the bar.

Dunn dispossesses Gerrard but Enrique wins back the ball from him and goes on a storming run, cut out by Samba. The ball finds its way to Johnson, who whips it into the box. Suarez rises to meet it and his header is just over the bar. (Hate typing that)

Dunn runs into the box unchallenged and would have scored if not for Yakubu ramming him off balance.

Fucking hell Enrique sends in a perfect cross, Carroll pushes his marker one side and gets off a good header, flashes past the right post.

Suarez to Gerrard, thinks about shooting, rolls it to Downing on his right who goes for a low shot, saved by Bunn.

Bellamy crosses for Downing, his header is palmed away by Bunn. Suarez gets the ball and wins a free outside the edge of the box.

Free kick misses everyone, ends up at Enrique on the edge of the box. Has to shoot it on his right though, and the ball ends up somewhere in Pyongyang. Kenny is frothing at the mouth.

Petrovic does one better, his shot doesn't even go out for a goal kick, instead it spins away for a throw in.

Carroll misses a point blank header, Agger's last ditch shot is saved by Hanley on the line.
