FFS! Are people really making such a big fuss out of the possession stats from yesterday's game?! Does it really matter if Liverpool ended up having more possession than us? We had a game plan yesterday and that was to let them have the ball and try to hit them on the break by harrassing them off the ball which it worked. We created tons of chances but just couldn't finish it! And for all the possession Liverpool had, did they really create any clear cut chances? No. Nothing at all! Had we won the game, would you really be complaining about the stats?! To just assume that RDM setup defensively yesterday by looking at the possession stats is just pathetic and beyond idiotic! It's like some people just have nothing better to do and are finding stupid excuses to have a go at RDM.

Yes but it doesn't always work that way and Suarez is hardly a big threat from set pieces. Don't see much wrong with Ramires marking him. Had Ramires defended better, we wouldn't be talking the goal we conceded.

Very impressed with him once again defensively. Liverpool hardly had any success down his flank. Just think he can still improve going forward.

Did we just drop into the relegation zone after last night's draw? Honestly, judging from some of the responses, you would think we are in the bottom 3 and not in the top 3. All this reaction is just needless. We just had an off day in front of goal yesterday. It happens and on another day, those chances could have easily gone in and we would have won the game comfortably.

13 more games to endure with Torres before the winter transfer window opens in January. I really DO hope the club gets another striker in January. Otherwise, we are pretty much screwed for the rest of the season with just Torres and Sturridge!

It's not the first time Terry has celebrated that way. He has done that in the past. If anything, it is Balotelli who copies him!

And that brings me back to the point of RDM making late substitutions again. He really should start trying to make changes earlier in games rather than wait till after the 70th minute mark to make one. He can't expect our subs to be a superhero and make a big game with only 15-20 minutes of game time on the pitch! He always seem to wait till we concede or go behind before making those changes! Think we did try to go for the killer but our final passes and shots were rather disappointing. It lacked any sort of real quality and we paid the price for it.

I know I know. He's frustrated at the lack of game time this season but just saying his body language was just so casual after striking it, not after scoring it. Hardly look like it took much effort for him to execute it.

Worth a try but having a striker like Torres upfront isn't going to help flanked by 2 wingers/wide players.

Magnificent goal though I'm having doubts whether he actually meant that. He just looked so casual after he strike it.

Tell me, what is our Plan B supposed to be?

Even then, we still had a chance to prevent them from scoring but we didn't deal with it from the corner.

Hope Terry's injury isn't all too serious. Can't really afford to have him out for months!

FFS! Do we need to create a thread like this every time after we dropped points?! Like you said, you had doubts at the beginning of the season and yet you expect RDM to suddenly just turn Oscar, Hazard etc into world class players in the space of 4 months?! These players need time to develop and they'll get better with it. Furthermore, how many of us really expect us to be where we are right now in July, honestly?!

:lol: No one celebrated with him. Priceless reaction!

Incredibly frustrating. Those chances squandered have cost us dearly. Mata and Oscar were the main culprits! Absolutely criminal not to bury those chances when we created so many! On the brighter note, we looked solid defensively for once after all the comical defending in recently. Just 1 slack marking from Ramires ended up costing us! Thought we pressed and defended well as A UNIT. Didn't allowed them to have time on the ball and forced them into making mistakes. That being said, we just seem to lost it after their equalizer. Became panicked and ran out of ideas. Could have lost it in the end. And IF there is one major criticism about RDM now, it is his tendency to make late substitutions and not early when it is needed. RDM has always seemed to wait till beyond the 70th minute mark before making any changes. Can't expect much impact with little time! Need to change early on IF it's not working or inject freshness into the team and replace the tired ones out there. Mourinho used to change things around early in games if things are not working and HECK, even AVB does it occasionally!

No doubt he needs morale support(as any other player need too) but I don't think it will be to that extent we're giving Torres now where we almost have to cater everything to his liking and pamper him!
