Worst performance of the season

[gillie]

I am still trying to work out why Fernandinho was hooked and not Silva as Fern looked our most dangerous player all game until subbed.

[gillie]

Oh btw Pellegrini has managed to even set a record Leslie couldn't do and that's lose 3 prem games in a row.

Made no sense, probably our best player all season. Other than an injury no explanation. Maybe he like the rest of the players was tired after playing Sunday and not as fresh as the opposition as the manager claimed after the game.

Over the years the ON/OFF switch has been used to slag off Yaya, well once again this crew have proved it is all of them, always done enough when they have to. PRIDE IN BATTLE, that is a piss take. Clear out needed and will be easier after some of this seasons roll overs.How to soil a great weekend with that shit.

I wonder how that game would have gone if Joe had saved that Llama half hit shot? Yes Liverpool camer out of the blocks chasing and harrying and we were not really at the races bar some decent ball winning in midfield by the 2 Refns but they hadn't really caused us too much trouble at the back bar an occasion when the lino forgot to put his flag up.

Just before they scored I reflected in how poor we were going forward but it felt like one of those games we could nick one nil with a late goal. As soon as Joe lay down and let that goal in they got renewed energy, the crowd woke up and we capitulated. Our biggest weakness for me was that Yaya was missing in the middle and we had nobody to be even close to dictating the game and our so called best 2 players in Silva and Aguero were both having mares.

Sterling going off for Bony was a joke as it made us compete even less and just added a third player having a mare and he was up front out of the way anyway.

All a great shame as Liverpool , apart from the pressing and energy they had were not that good.

I could see the logic in Bony coming on because we needed a physical presence in the centre to put it up to Can but I think he replaced the wrong man. I would've hooked Silva and played Bony as a support for Aguero.

But Bony has as much physical presence as a dustbin but not as much mobility. From the moment that first goal went in it was a complete shambles.

Worst performance?

Sad we've had that said by our fans so many times this season. Yet, we were worse against them at home, and arguably worse against Spurs or Leicester. Our display somewhat easier to explain due to tiredness and partying that likely occurred Sunday night given how few changes we made.

Silva's ankle, which he was visibly icing after the final, has to be what is behind his performances. His passing is the worst I have seen. Agree with those commenting that we sorely missed resident scape goat, Yaya, as we were slaughtered in midfield, and had no one to help create chances.

However, somehow we are still in the same place we were the day before, other than Utd now having the same point total, which is a bit of hot air because we still have a game in hand. No one is looking like they will run away with the title, but yes, it was a very poor performance. No more of those please or we will risk top 4, which must not be lost at all costs.

There is nothing logical about putting on that fuckign lump of shite anywhere on the pitch at any one time.

[Hazy2]

Worst in the league where the fuck do you Start, Overun by almost every fucker, last night was not even a shock, after 5 mins it was bleedin obvious we were getting twatted.

[Original Dub]

It wasn't nearly as bad as the home game v them cunts, but it was pretty shit.

I blame Pellegrini for this one, whereas I blamed the players for the last. His subs were the wrong ones. Simple.
The funny thing is all the pundits saying Liverpool were "incredible from start to finish". They weren't. I could the feel the game very much heading in our favour, especially during those multiple "ole's". There was only one team going to score and it didn't look like Liverpool to me. Nor did it to Michael Owen, who kept commenting on how sturdy we looked at the back.

Then we got hit with a poxy sucker punch and we folded. Our biggest problem this season is that we find it really difficult to recover, when we get hit on the break early, especially when it's a sucker punch.

That's going to change next season. That's for sure.
But from now until then, we better get out of the blocks early and put everything into scoring first in our remaining games. Sounds obvious, but we can't play the possession game when we don't have the players who can/will press every ball.

[sheblue]

No it wasn't the worst, but not far off.

We never really looked like winning it, even when we were on top in the first half, we lacked a lot.

Our poor form is a culmination of many factors, fatigue, injuries, bad decision making, bad defending, ageing players, poor subs, odd team selections etc. Many of those factors are the fault of the management team, some are not. However they wont be resolved during this current campaign. Roll on the summer until Pep gets here and we can start fresh. However he will have a fairly big job to do with this squad. A little patience will be needed.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but he's diabolical.

The Counts subs were amazingly retarded. It was like he was on an episode of Chopped! and they gave him a basket with roast beef, horseradish, and a giant loaf of bread and he decided to make a salad.

cheers

Well OD I commented something similar at the end of the first half last night and was told by some I must be watching a different game.
I thought we had weathered the usual onslaught that you would expect and that we were then starting to get a bit of decent possession and threatening their goal.
With Liverpool, particularly at home, I always think if you keep them goalless for the first half hour they start to lose rhythm and the crowd get twitchy.
We looked like we were doing fine and then got sucker punched by Joe 'drop a bollock' Hart, who looked like he partied too hard in his little layoff and took an age to get down to a shot form over 25 yards and also got his angles all wrong.
What happened after that was a shambles and I agree the substitutions made no sense.

We were fucking wank , no excuses , pathetic !!!
