Even now, they are still being dismissed... Would like to think the Shakhtar game took a lot out of the players and that led to the tiredness late on against Liverpool. And RDM's lack of rotation is affecting us as well. As for the game against QPR, RDM started the game with a defensive lineup and that pretty much speaks for itself. We looked to contain rather to attack then given the circumstances between Terry and Anton. Yeah but that will still take time. Can't just expect major developments in the space of 4 months and let's not forget that this is Hazard and Oscar's first season in English football. As for Mata, we are already seeing improvement from him. He's playing with much better players now than last season and we can see the result especially in this new style of football that we're adopting.

It's Fulham at home. Our next 7 games before we depart for the CWC in Japan: Nov 17 - West Brom(A) Nov 20 - Juventus(A) Nov 25 - Man City(H) Nov 28 - Fulham(H) Dec 1 - West Ham(A) Dec 5 - Nordsjaelland(H) Dec 8 - Sunderland(A) Note the dates for the games as well. We're basically gonna play a game every 3-4 days including the CWC from now till January at the very least. It's extremely vital RDM rotates the team!

I never said all the responses. Only mentioned some. And another thing, I agree we do have some issues that need to be sorted out but why no one brought it up when we were winning games? I mean it's not like the problems just suddenly appeared in the last week or so. Some of them were already evident for weeks or even months now!

Not an ideal game before Juventus next week but this is gonna be a really tough game. West Brom are doing very well under Steve Clarke and they have won 5 of their 6 home league games this season. They lost the other game to City and even that came in injury time. Might get slaughtered for this but think next week's game against Juventus is way much more important than this. We need our best players fit and fresh as possible for that game in Turin. Can't afford to lose there or otherwise, we have to rely on Shakhtar to beat Juventus on the last day(assuming Shakhtar beat Nordsjaelland too). Imperative that RDM rotate the team this weekend as we also have City to come next Sunday.

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!
