Wow

Gerrard comes on, loses the ball twice in a row, we concede 2 goals in 2 minutes.

Thats all I have to say. We should just let the young kids play, at least they know how to win games.

I see it differently, it seems that Gerrard and Suarez were the only ones interested in attacking, the rest of the guys seem stuckin in the mindset of passing.
Things could have been different if Shelvey never miss an open net.
Lastly,does anybody else feel our defense is our weakness

That's nice in theory, but more important is not giving the ball away in dangerous areas.

So the connotation you're attempting there is that Gerrard is at fault for conceding the two goals?

The goals can be blamed on Johnson, Coates & Gerrard, in that order. Defensive mistakes were made all around, it was even a tactical mistake by Rodgers to bring off Henderson for Gerrard, instead should have been Shelvey or Downing coming off. Suarez and Gerrard was brought with attacking intent. Allen and Henderson should have remained as a buffer in midfield for the counter-attacks as Stevie is known as a lazy tracker when losing possession up-field. Hendo was rightly peeved in being subbed as he was doing well, and Allen was left at sea when Udinese did the fast counters.

Anyways...Analyze, learn, move on.

Brendan Rodgers: Defending must improve

"It was very frustrating," he said. "It was a game where we were much the better side but lost our concentration at the beginning of the second half. I thought we'd moved on from that, to be honest.

"We had total control in the first half and were deservedly in the lead, but we were so loose at the beginning of the second half it was frightening.

"Our concentration was very poor and before we knew it we were 3-1 down. The last 20 minutes was very good but it's too late by then.

"I thought we were lazy. Lazy in our play, loose and sloppy.

"We didn't do what I call the dirty bit: we didn't track runners. If you don't do that, if you don't earn the right...

"Whether we thought the game was too comfortable? At this level it never is."

Asked how he could address the defensive problems, Rodgers added: "It's constant reminders and constant work. Some of our play, our movement and passing - you can sense the excitement within the players and the stadium.

"But you can't keep having to score two, three and five goals to win games.

"Defensively, as a group, we need to be better.

"I will be open with my communication with the players, but they are disappointed as well."

Wow

Apparently he was something of a free kick specialist while at Ajax. Has scored 2 cracking free kicks for us this season, so that could be coming back into his game.

Amazing free kick.

Still sad we lost though but Udinese are good side, I was expecting a draw to be honest.

 

[craigdoepie]

Wow

Coming from a Utd supporter, we better cherish this day. But jokes aside, an amazing free kick and as Hawker said. He was a free kick specialist at Ajax, so maybe we can use that to our advantage.

On the game itself, was a good game Midfield and Attacking wise. But our defense is letting us down every week. But I have faith. Also I feel that if Gerrard does get injured or decides to retire there is enough backup to replace him.

 

[hawker]

hehe

GAME TIME!

Same XI as last week!

I really hope we keep a clean sheet today. (Hoping for a miracle).

 

[hawker]

Stoke are bloody rugby team.

HT 0-0

Prediction: first 'bad' LFC tackle and it will be a red card.

Haha yeah completely understandable, I'm so frustrated with our team today Nothing wants to click.

Shame man, hope he gets well soon

 

[MickeyD]

... and this was another example!

 

[hawker]

... and this was another example!

At least we finally didn't concede any goals.

Very frustrating performance, Gerrard needs to up his game big time, he is so so so sloppy, he just kills our momentum in midfield. We also need Skrtel and Agger to play out from the back faster, and I wish we'd stop giving the ball to Reina he always takes 10million touches and waits till the playing closing him down is 0.5m away before he decides to pass it. BLOODY NIGHTMARES!

Frustrated.....Just another LFC match
