BW 0 Posted October 22, 2011 Was all over the place all game. Barnett was so poor. Naughton was good however. looked very shaky and against a team that took its chances better could of easily lost that 5-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jed exodous 0 Posted October 22, 2011 The problem was the teamwork was poor, individually, they were very good, just allowed Liverpool too much movement and space at times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morisons Prozac 0 Posted October 22, 2011 Barnett was quality. Had Ruddy not pulled off those twp saves he would''ve been MOTM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He gave Barnett a torrid time but his head never dropped and he still made plenty of important blocks and clearing headers. I wouldn''t criticise anyone after that performance.

Buncey 1 Posted October 22, 2011 Midfield was the weak link and against a top team the defence are gonna have a really tough game. All considering they did a good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BW 0 Posted October 22, 2011 On the poor teamwork note. Our passing has to improve also when ever we win it at the back we hoof it up field straight to their players we need to be patient and calm in this league. Otherwise we are giving ourself hard work by allowing them to continuously the chance to attack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted October 22, 2011 Suarez is pretty much a world class striker. Even defenders like Terry and Vidic won''t be stopping him from getting past them to often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still be brilliant doing his main job so far this year though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Europe_93 16 Posted October 22, 2011 I thought it was our worst performance since West Brom, but the team should be credited for coming out of the game with something. Liverpool are more than a match for anyone when they are at the races, they will play a lot worse and win comfortably this season. Personally I thought Leon did well, tough ask against a small and outstanding talent. Thought our full backs both have been better if you are trying to find faults in what is a great result.

birchfest 397 Posted October 22, 2011 Id say less poor defending more a very very good attack... come on, we were up against Bellamy, Suarez, Gerrard, Adam and Downing! It was always going to be tough and remember we are still learning! And no matter how you coin it, if we use the logic ''they could have 5'' we could also say norwich could have stuck their chances away on another day and one it 3-1!

a1canary 0 Posted October 22, 2011 Sorry worse wizard but you''re talking out of your hat. Can''t believe you''re criticising that performance. Yes our passing wasn''t been up to usual standards but Liverpool under Dalgleish are very hard to play against and they''re full of. confidence. They don''t give you time on the ball and in light of the pressure they put on us, on their patch, we kept our heads brilliantly, got back in the game and held of an onslaught. In our first season back, what the hell do you want from them in a game like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 285 Posted October 22, 2011 Shocking defending???? The defence was the best part of our team play. I though Bennett was weak and both Fox & Johnson poor and put us under pressure.Barnett was better than Martin, Naughton excellent and yes - I agree Barnett my MOTM too. Every player has had problems caused by Suarez, from Manure down. Suarez has talent, but barnett stuck to his task well. And I am far from a barnett fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John 0 Posted October 22, 2011 Are you communicating to me via an alternate universe? In my personal opinion the defending was awesome, Barnett was uttterly sublime (and i''m a frequent critic), with crucial challenges often timed to perfection, and unlike his usual self, solidly kept people on the outside. Naughton was our worst player, and tonight was his worst performance by some stretch. Little to complain about with his performance in the Liverpool half, but at our end he let so much either run through his legs, or came inside. Partly at fault for the goal, and so much of Suarez''s attacking runs (like Sinclair and Swansea, but magnified throughout the entire game this time). I haven''t seen so many lapses of concentration in the right back position since Otsemobor walked the turf at Carrow Road! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruddygore 0 Posted October 22, 2011 It''s like people don''t realise that we were playing Liverpool at home today. Gerard, Suarez, (Carroll when he came on), they are a top team. Did Suarez score? How many chances did he need? Did they have dodgy moments? Did Holt score with his first chance?It was GREAT defending! It was great Teamwork!We should play this "poorly" every week. Slow start true but the best commitment and attitude in the league(s).Bunch of miserable whingers who should go and support Wolves, then you''ll be happy having something to really moan about.

ryan1992 0 Posted October 22, 2011 WHAT THE HELL??? We have just got a draw at one of the biggest sides in Europe, they only scored once, and yet people are moaning?! Barnett was playing out of his skin Today, and without him and Ruddy I think we would have conceded a lot, lot more. Yes Suarez caused them problems, as did Bellamy etc, but they are world class attackers ffs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BW 0 Posted October 22, 2011 Im incredibly happy with the point and how we battled however i feel we were lucky today. I agree with midfield problems too center mid apart from wes didnt get any control in the middle of the park. Not sure still on johnson although we have all this talk of england call up not sure hes that level if im honest. saying that england are shite and he is probably alot better then most of them. Lots of heart and battleing i hope we keep it up. Have to win next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buncey 1 Posted October 22, 2011 ... and not trying to blow the Tierney Trumpet any further but he schooled Downing and Johnson today, which has been one of the more frequented England partnerships recently. I can very soon see him being involved in the England set up, and that is completely warranted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
