shit! how many offside goals have garcia had this season....

Craig Mac · « **Reply #81 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:44:00 pm »

Apparntly it may have come off a boro player, and if it did, it should have been allowed...

Red Lozza · « **Reply #82 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:44:52 pm »

And it sounded like a great finish as well.

Holiara · « **Reply #83 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:45:00 pm »

Freekick from Liverpool from 35 yards: Riise's shot deflected to corner.

Andy. · « **Reply #84 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:45:16 pm »

Familiar story. Another player gets his first goal of the season against us and it's poor marking yet again.

Not worried, though - still in this game and we've got options on the bench.

Still fancy us for a 2-1 win.

half time benitez should switch risse for mellor. hamann for gerard.

Paul Tomkins · « **Reply #86 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:46:06 pm »

Thommo said it was never offside, as it was off a Boro player.

Another fucking shite decision robs us... That's THREE goals Garcia has been denied (Bolton, today, and the Izzet handball).

Yeh, we still dont have any goalscores, or even out and out strikers on the pitch......

Craig Mac · « **Reply #88 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:47:25 pm »

Actaully, we seem to have done better since boro scored.....

COME ON RED MEN!!

Sheik_Yerbouti · « **Reply #89 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:47:40 pm »

Fuckin outrageous, a prem ref that dont know the rules !?

CanAdrian · « **Reply #90 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:47:45 pm »

Need something fresh up front. LG and HK a bit light for this task. Preferably some holdup options with Mellor...

Holiara · « **Reply #91 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:47:52 pm »

Kewell miskicked a good ball over the ball and "put his head in his hands"

Andy. · « **Reply #92 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:48:09 pm »

We've missed a few chances, though. Kewell's just put one over the bar.

Think we'll defo see Stevie and Mellor after about an hour.

Viduka just wide

1-0 down - Riggott.

'Horrendous marking' by Liverpool according to Aldridge.

I would say "Horrendous" marking by Djimi Traore. He just stood there and let Riggott pop-up with a free header.

Craig Mac · « **Reply #95 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:50:48 pm »

Half Time

Boro1-0Liverpool

Come on redmen!!!!!!!

Redlady · « **Reply #96 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:51:25 pm »

This zonal marking malarkeys not working

At least Garcia's shown he can finish

Yeah, seen it.

Half time 0-1.

Need Stevie G on 2nd half.

Holiara · « **Reply #98 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:52:21 pm »

Halftime. Quote EST: "They desperately miss the pace and direct running from Milan Baros" "Criminal defending".

Well we know that, but Garcia goals keep beeing disallowed is not helping either.

Sheik_Yerbouti · « **Reply #99 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:52:34 pm »

Bring on Stevie G, take off Finnan or Josemi.
Play Garcia at right midfield, and put Gerrard in a free attacking role.

Gerrard warming up on the pitch at halftime

Need Stevie G on 2nd half.

Maybe. But he won't be the Stevie G of old if he's been out for two months and only played half a reserve game. He won't be as sharp or as full of running.

Still, he might be able to offer some kind of spark.

Sheik_Yerbouti · « **Reply #102 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:55:00 pm »

You have a live feed from tht link you posted in the other thread ?
If so, which of the servers works ?

GavBelfast · « **Reply #103 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:55:39 pm »

I'm watching it on my snowy RTE2 picture - not a good performance.

Effort and concentration disappointing.

We should have had an equaliser, though the lineman's view probably did look like it came off one of our players. But his flag was probably in response to thier players raising their arms to appeal offside, so a bad decision against us.

Viduka also blazed wide late on.

A bit of work for Benitez at half-time, for it's not good.

Cometh the second half, cometh THE man.

Emma · « **Reply #104 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:57:26 pm »

It'll be fine

Stevie and Mellor on after half time.

Liverpool 2-1 Boro

You'll see

Hugh · « **Reply #105 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:58:34 pm »

Goal should have stood. Garcia was offside but Boro player deflected the ball to him. Impossible for the linesman to see though so can't lay blame at anyone's feet. Unlucky in a way but we've been shite. Deffo missing driving force of Baros.

Looking bleak.

tsinikal · « **Reply #106 on:** November 20, 2004, 03:58:59 pm »

even though stevie g isnt in perfect shape, having him on the pitch will be a big inspirational boost to the team. uber talisman.

jinno.x.rafalution · « **Reply #107 on:** November 20, 2004, 04:00:25 pm »

what an off side ?!

well ..Boro was dominating more ..

come on , theres 2nd half..hope things do turn around

Even if he himself isn't as sharp, he'll still no doubt give the rest of the side a confidence boost.

COR · « **Reply #110 on:** November 20, 2004, 04:05:23 pm »

2 Full Backs, 2 Defensive Midfielders in midfield and 2 attacking midfielders up front...and it shows. Although I really doubt if we'd played Mellor or Pongo it'd be any different. We played better after the goal was wrongly disallowed and we've got the best midfielder in the premiership on the bench. Lets fucking win this!

Craig Mac · « **Reply #111 on:** November 20, 2004, 04:06:46 pm »

No halftime changes.

coltmanaman · « **Reply #112 on:** November 20, 2004, 04:07:10 pm »

Even if Gerrard does come on, I can't believe we're back to depending on one man again - thought we'd left those days behind - very disappointing

Surely its up to the others to get their fingers out of their arse & do another 'Fulham'

Its a start of a very difficult period (could make or break our season) - not a good start. Lets hope for considerably better performance.

note - feel like shit today so not full of positive thoughts. sorry

radiohead · « **Reply #113 on:** November 20, 2004, 04:07:12 pm »

with Hamann in the middle (INFRONT!) of alonso.

i wont expect MUCH creativity, pace, movement, skills to move the ball forward from that area.

DEAD to Houllier football plz.

Craig Mac · « **Reply #114 on:** November 20, 2004, 04:08:47 pm »

We need some one to take charge, to show some inpiration..... weather that is gerrard or not, it doesnt matter, but somebody should be up to the task

SeanPenn · « **Reply #115 on:** November 20, 2004, 04:08:50 pm »

want to see biscan, gerrard and mellor on for hamann, josemi and riise soon

Sheik_Yerbouti · « **Reply #116 on:** November 20, 2004, 04:09:04 pm »

Hunter saying Gerrard is probable to come on shortly.

Andy. · « **Reply #117 on:** November 20, 2004, 04:10:08 pm »

Shoulda been 1-1. Kewell again.

Can't keep missing chances!

GavBelfast · « **Reply #118 on:** November 20, 2004, 04:10:41 pm »

Great save there from a Kewell header - fantastic reflexes, though really he should have had no chance with it.

Sheik_Yerbouti · « **Reply #119 on:** November 20, 2004, 04:10:50 pm »

GRAAHH
We need to be freakin clinical when the chances come.
