Worse we played since....?

[The_Adder]

Maybe at the Toilet last season but even then I don't think we played so badly?

 

Kuyt is probably the only one who comes out with any real credit, thought everyone else had there worse game I've seen them play in a red shirt.

 

Felt weird seeing Finnan, Masch, Arbeloa, Torres etc play so badly.

 

We just weren't at the races at all. Credit to Porto, they were excellent, lots of skill and superb in possession, up there with the Barca team that won it a few seasons ago in that respect, cant say Reina has all that much to do tho which is a bit weird considering, they looked a bit lost in the final 3rd, might be being a bit harsh on our defence here though.

 

Think we'll hammer em at Anfield tho!

 

The funny thing is I was talking to my mate and we both agree that in our opinion that was the best team we could put out bar Agger in place of Hyypia from the squad...

[Coyler]

Worse than the worst Liverpool team for 30 years three years ago?

[JohnnyH]

I think it's the worst we've played since.....ooooohhh.........Saturday

[honourablegeorge]

Since Portsmouth? Since the first half at Sunderland?

 

There's a good chance that we'll arrive at any away fixture with a complete and utter inability to pass the ball.

[Stevie H]

villa away last season.

[McBain]

I can take comfort in the certain knowledge we wont play worse than that all season.

 

In Europe it's the worst we've played since probably Monaco away

Think that honestly happened last night. The 3 for 1(!?) offer at the bar made up for it, a bit

[fyds]

Porto were not brilliant - we made them look good - this was illustrated tby the fact that despite having all that possession and playing against 10 men for half an hour, they did sod all with it.

Very true - a bit of a mystery really. Our away form has to improve dramatically this season. There's no reason why we should struggle on the road, given the players we have at our disposal...

We were lucky that they forgot to actually play anyone up front.

[Guest Snorky]

Porto made us look a lot worse than we were, they rushed and harried us into hasty decisions and passes.

 

If we were that poor then how come we managed to keep them at bay for 30 minutes with 10 men ?

 

Liverpool don't win for two games and it's all over boo hoo boo hoo :shakeshead:

I think it took us until the week before xmas last season to get 7 points away from home, and after 3 away game, we have 7 points.

 

So, I think our away form has already improved - unless of course, we do not win away from home again for the remainder of the season.

I know, sad innit.

 

Listened to 606 last night, felt almost suicidal.

We got better, but we could not have moaned had the penalty been their 3rd goal.

 

That's the worst start since Istanbul.

[Guest ziggystardust]

arsenal last season, 2-0 southampton when crouch scored againts us, countless other games away in rafas first season(newcastle, man city & brum spring to mind), olympiakos away in that season, monaco away same season, burnley fa cup. 5-0 away to coventry micky quinn game, 3-0 to toon andy cole hat trick, 3-0 away to psg.

 

that enough for you?

They played high up against our full backs, Babel looked a bit out of depth, Pennant in too deep, our passing generally shocking, never getting in behind their full backs where the space lay. Gerrard was pedestrian throughout and Mascherano distribution non- existent, hence we had no creative presence in the middle and missed Alonso massively. Defensively we coped, creatively we lacked. Overall, the manager gets the blame for fielding a team not equipped or prepared for how Porto played, though losing Alonso the night before may have been the biggest contributory factor to that.

 

Worst performance? Score draw away to Porto with them never testing Reina in open play is hardly that bad a performance.

This was a whole new level of bad. As though the liverpool ladies had all grown stubble and put on wigs and decided to give the first team the night off

A pendant writes. Finnan's fecked up clearance in the first 5 minutes made him make a good save

[Bootle Buck]

We looked tired and certainly not up for the game. I have never seen a first 5 minutes were we literally couldn't get it out of our half. We looked half asleep. Our goal stunned Porto who looked very avearge after that. I think a harsh reality has set back in after the last two games that despite having a big squad we still have much room for improvement. We resorted back to hoofing it up field last night. It just amazes me how the likes of Pennant and Babell get a chance to prove themselves and then disappear all game.

[Huyton_Red]

It was one of those rare matches where almost every single player has a stinker in the same game

So, Finnan tested Reina, not Porto ...

[Alonso]

We were warned, Rafa said before the game he didn't have time to prepare anything special.

 

(Probably didn't have the right eggs for that omlette, hey Jose!?)

Pressure on the ball caused it Something they did all night and we barely seemed arsed doing
