I don't really want to wade into the problems of Anfield, but I think shaking up the season tickets every year would help improve the atmosphere enormously.

If true that is pathetic (from the players).

easy to say but when you have literally thousands groaning a misplaced pass you'll be reluctant to try anything above and beyond giving it easy again.*





*unless you are masher, who is so full of confidence he can attempt to take on three players with simple passing options to his
left and right.
 
Our manager's cautious philosophy cost us again.
Yossi is our best player this season and letting him on the bench was a massive mistake.
Mascher-Lucas in the middle doesnt work but he insists with it. Gerrard back in the middle and Yossi behind Torres ASAP.
The team we saw after 60 minutes was the one I expected from the start.
Once again our manager re-acts, always too late.
Im getting older I guess, I wasnt even angry after the game. It was so predictable when I saw the lineup.
Season over. And fight for 3rd will be very hard this season.

Why? Cant we talk about football on this site without calling names?
I dont like Rafa's football. Its not such a big deal is it?
That team with Lucas-Mascher in the middle is completely unbalanced. Its no rocket science.
Buying Aquilani knowing he wouldnt be fit until october wasnt really smart either.
I just hope we can make it to the CL spot. That will be a disaster if we dont.

Lech, we're lumbered with Mascherano/Lucas because of the departure of Alonso. I have no real problem with us buying an injured player, given he was our prime target. For the sake of two months it would have been risky buying an alternative. He's on a long contract so two months injured should pale into insignificance, all being well.

Regards Benitez, we now play some of the best football in Europe (on form) and have been excellent to watch for much of this calendar year. That might not have always been the case and it's taken time getting there, but saying "I dont like Rafa's football" is just ridiculous.

yossi was always going to be on the bench for the chelsea when after giving insua no protection v the italians. rafa's starting line was obvious.

I wasnt surprised at all with the lineup Spider. LW is Yossi's least effective position.
Mark: I dont think we play the best football in Europe, far from it.
I hate everything what Chelsea represents but I quite like Ancelotti's chelsea team.
Yesterday, there was one manager that wanted to win the game and another one that didnt want to lose.

Name teams that go all out to win at Stamford Bridge.

Their home record is insane but nonetheless we were in much of the game, which you conveniently ignore, and had we taken our chances and cut out the two key mistakes, we could have won the game.

They played very well but there wasn't much in it.

When on form we more than hold our own, backed up by how many goals we've scored this year. We might not be Catalan-esque, but we score some lovely goals and have some brilliance infront of goal.

You really should support another team until Benitez leaves.

Or just not come back. Either works.

Do you enjoy any element of supporting Liverpool football club?

That's ridiculous Lech, it really is. We might have played poorly at times this season, the last week in particular but we're clearly not a goal shy outfit, his football nowadays is far from negative.

All your posts are pointless, LC. At the end of last season we played the best football in Europe. I'm pretty sure Rafa Benitez was the manager during that spell. We also beat all the top teams, including Man Utd 4-1 away. Were we negative then as well?

Our problem so far this season has not been attacking but defending. But you're still stuck on the previous loop: you need to change your tape.

Whatever. I think our problem is in the middle and that affects both defense and attack.
The manager has to adapt his system according the caracteristics of the players at his disposal.
Lucas is not Alonso, you cant play the same system. Lucas and Mascher dont create anything, Gerrard has to drift back and that leaves Torres alone up front. So alone that he gets frustrated and loses his focus.
Most people on this site have been saying Gerrard has to come back in the middle until Aquilani is fit with Yossi in the hole.
I wasnt the only one Bunny.
Our stubborn manager doesnt want to see whats so obvious to most of us.

Le Chac, my team for Chelsea was exactly the one you just described. However, I do understand why Rafa opted for a more solid-looking XI, with Lucas and Mascher in CM. We'd been conceding too many goals, and away at Chelsea you can't afford to be wide-open. I share some of your frustrations with our tactics - and I shared a lot more of them about 10 months ago - but the fact that you never gave Rafa or our team (almost all of whom were Rafa signings) any credit when we were steamrollering the best sides in Europe late last season just makes me think you're closer to a spambot than a supporter.

He got booted about by the Chelsea defence with very little to show for his efforts bar a couple of half chances.

Alright, we scored 6 goals against Man Utd last season with "Rafa's negative football" instead. That work for you?
