It's more than just that. Our defending has been so sloppy around the box. We've just stuck a leg out and tripped them up, I mean, we started well and looked well up for it, but too often we gave it away then allowed them to build pressure via set pieces. Since then, we've just stood off them and our movement off the ball has again been woeful. Kuyt offers little down the right and he's been unable to get Johnson in any decent positions.



We need to get Gerrard on the ball, that's where we miss Alonso the most, he would always get it to Gerrard in space, ready to create, Lucas is just too slow and sloppy.

Your really need Aquallina to be fit have never seen him play TBH but you look like a bottom half team at the mo with Lucas running the game he cant get players involved like Alonso did you will miss him more than anyone could imagine

Zonal marking.



It's faaaaaaaaaaantastic.......

Doesn't seem to have cost Villa any goals.

2-0 to villa at h/t

bit less whinging from torres and reina and a bit more football would help them

liverPOO just awful in the 1st half!

Dont like to laugh at other teams but this is only good news for us

Lucas > Anderson

Cant believe we are losing against these cheese eating surrender monkeys

That's because they do it better than we do.

Title Challenge My Arris' - Stand Up Fernando Torres...

F*ck me, are Leeds top of the prem or something?



Oh yeah, loved the LiverPOO comment, genius that, which mate of yours sent you that text?

how can you comment if you've never seen him play????

Nope joint top of Coca-Cola League One Undefeated...

Viv anderson is better than lucas!

True though la!

Torres scores to make it 2 - 1

You sometimes wonder if we want to win these games or not. Awful from Gerrard, absolutely dire.

Because he cant be no worse than Lucas lol

scrub that!



3 - 1 villa. Ashley young with a penalty.

What was he thinking there? The defender surely had it covered?

Gerrard giving a penelty away at Analfield

He'll be getting booked for diving next

To be honest, it's obvious for all to see what our problem is.



We're a side who over recent years have had an exceptionally strong spine to the team, a solid, tried and tested spine. However, this year, one of the biggest cogs in that spine has been ripped out and replaced with a player of insufficient quality. Aquilani isn't back yet so we can't base him, but Lucas just isn't up to the standard of Liverpool FC. Aquilani could end up replacing Alonso, but it'll be pointless if we end up out of it by Christmas like all the other seasons.



I hate being so negative, but we can't afford to be playing catch up this early. We're not out of August and we've already lost two games, I was expecting 9 from 9, or 7 from 9 at least.

I never disagreed
