49 - Suarez's touch is bordering on cheating. He brings down a long ball (not hoof, nota bene) passes to Carroll who is set off balance not a foul but pushing it and the ball is cleared.

Was just a second or two off from being perfection. The prospect is mouthwatering

Just my two cents on the matter but I personally think the world as a whole is missing out on a life bettering experience of seeing Wes Brown's orange hair

Quick picture of Kenny, but he's blocked out by the gigantic head of Steve Bruce. It has it's own weather system!

Fashion fail right there, mate. Seriously.

The man who defies genetics.

VERY poor that by Flanagan. You do not try and do that in defence.

Chakan · « **Reply #165 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:11:05 pm »

Flanno far far to casual on the ball! Not sure what the lad was thinking, but we need to cut out those silly mistakes.

Aristotle · « **Reply #166 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:11:24 pm »

52 - Flanno with a "reserves" mistake. Takes to long on the ball and is stripped, cross finds Gyan but Pepe saves with ease.

Poor Flanno's ear must be burning after Carra's ... uhmm ... corrections

tinkertailor · « **Reply #167 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:13:01 pm »

What an incredible cross from Enrique! Great stuff.

Aristotle · « **Reply #168 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:13:37 pm »

53 - Suarez crosses the ball but Carroll's header is wide of the mark.

54 - Corner goes to Liverpool but Downing's cross is a bit high and Carroll has to reach back. He still gets the ball mind you. Unless I've counted wrongly that's 6 headers he's made despite being pushed, off balance and/or too high to get power on

El Campeador · « **Reply #169 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:13:49 pm »

FUCK.

Chakan · « **Reply #170 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:14:16 pm »

Goal Sunderland

A stunning strike has be said though, Flanno caught all ends up and doesn't get back into position.

Aristotle · « **Reply #171 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:14:17 pm »

56 - Flanagan gets lost following the ball and Larson smacks it into the top corner. Excellent finish in fairness

El Campeador · « **Reply #172 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:14:29 pm »

Poor Flanno.

I´d like another before half time here. Sunderland cannot be as poor as this second half I would imagine.

Hmmm.... To be honest that cross should never have come in from the left. We had plenty of bodies out there but all of them went to the ball and left Bardsley free to whip a cross in.

tinkertailor · « **Reply #176 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:15:34 pm »

Flannagan has lost it a bit here. Carra needs to give him a hand on the shoulder. Don't give him the scream Jamie, it won't work.

Chakan · « **Reply #177 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:16:59 pm »

Maybe starting Flanno coming back to haunt Kenny? Although to be fair he has had a pretty decent game up until then.

Aristotle · « **Reply #178 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:17:03 pm »

58 - All Sunderland at the moment. Sessegnon with a bit of trickery but his shot is over the goal.

59 - Henderson gets a yellow for a stupid tackle on Colback

BabuYagu · « **Reply #179 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:17:08 pm »

Carragher backing off Sessegon there. You can´t do that 18 yards out.

Dirk coming on for Henderson I assume

Chakan · « **Reply #180 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:17:47 pm »

Henderson off Kuyt on.

Aristotle · « **Reply #181 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:18:10 pm »

SUB:

Liverpool make the game's first substitution.

Kuyt on for Henderson

El Campeador · « **Reply #182 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:18:13 pm »

Dirk Kuyt comes on for Jordan Henderson, and wins a corner immediately.

CONCENTRATE, boys. It's all getting a bit ragged.

Hopefully Kuyt will give us some stability on the right.

El Campeador · « **Reply #185 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:19:01 pm »

Two chances for Carroll in the air. One is blocked, the other goes over.

Flanagan's fault, I'm afraid. He's looked very bad this half and Kelly would be a better choice right now. He's all over the place.

I agree with you on that. But I do tend to think that subbing him off now for Kelly would crush the young lad's spirits. Kuyt providing support should ease his worries if nothing else

Quote from: hesbighesred on August 13, 2011, 04:18:24 pm

Woeful defending sadly, far too slow to close the ball down with 3 men all chasing the ball, Larsson left in acres of space, Flanagan doesn't even really have the excuse of having gone for a header or something.

But then again, without shit reffing we ought to be 2-0 up against 10-men, and thinking about taking Suarez off for a good ref. Now we're chasing it against a team that will be determined.

One other thing - I've been really impressed so far today, I like how we're showing patience in possession too, it's brilliant...but we haven't closed down as a unit well at all. Sunderland are getting too much time on the ball, and while the goal was hugely against the run of play you could also see that Sunderland had looked more comfortable because they'd been able to ping it about a bit.

Again, all valid points. Flanagan can be excused for having a young head on his shoulders, but it's still bad defending. The score should've been 2-0 to begin with as Carroll's goal was perfectly legit, and even if it hadn't been they should be a man down and the way we played to begin with I don't doubt we'd have added another.

And I think that bringing Kuyt on will help us get people higher up to press them. Far too often did we see Suarez press them into the box only for the rest of the team to be nowehere to be seen

BabuYagu · « **Reply #187 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:19:32 pm »

Why is Flanagan forward at corners? Given the height and build of the rest of our defence you would imagine he would be the one staying back!

Chakan · « **Reply #188 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:19:57 pm »

62:00 Liverpool trying to play themselves back into the game. Just gone off the boil in the 2nd half. We need to start pressuring the backline and we need to start getting those scoring opportunities.

BabuYagu · « **Reply #189 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:21:14 pm »

Gyan stood on Carra´s heel there.... which seems to have twisted Gyan´s ankle.

Chakan · « **Reply #190 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:21:27 pm »

Stop in play as Gyan rolls around on the ground and says his ankle has a boo boo

We're now suddenly getting swamped and outplayed.

Kuyt and Kelly need to be brought on asap, for me.

One is on already, the other is likely starting next match.

Aristotle · « **Reply #192 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:23:17 pm »

Dowd really is an appalling referee

Chakan · « **Reply #193 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:23:18 pm »

65:00 Cattermole through the center Adam tracks back and takes Cattermole out from behind. Bit of afters and Larsson over the freekick. Adam gets a yellow for his troubles. Dangerous freekick

BabuYagu · « **Reply #194 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:23:27 pm »

What was Adam thinking there. You don´t need to make that challenge. Now he is on a booking and Sunderland have a dangerous free kick

tinkertailor · « **Reply #195 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:23:38 pm »

Carra needs to stop hoofing. I understand that he wants to avoid trouble at the back, but what we need is someone to put their foot on the ball and calm it down.

Chakan · « **Reply #196 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:24:10 pm »

66:00 Larsson takes and skies it over the wall and over the goal and over everything else. Danger averted for now

Aristotle · « **Reply #197 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:25:09 pm »

It's all going in Flanno's direction. Team needs to take a step back, deep breath and assert control over the match again

Chakan · « **Reply #198 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:25:16 pm »

Sunderland crowd getting into the game. Anfield crowd very silent.

We're not doing anything right suddenly.
