I was hoping for higher-quality BANTZ from you this year, seeing as you only have to follow three competitions.Zomp said:
Going to have to watch this on replay but I hear we're looking dire.
Not a great situation to be missing your first, second, and third choice central midfielders when the opponent is playing 3-7-0 or whatever.

So does Rodgers even do a post-game, or does Gerrard get named player-coach with the full-time whistle?
Torn on the second goal. Would Mignolet have done better?
It's a point blank shot with some pace. The two most difficult places to get your hands in that situation are down and directly above the head, so good strikers will definitely take their chance. But... Jones was flat footed and small. Did he have time to charge and get big?

Could just one of these deflected shots actually go to one of the Liverpool players?

Mignolet is actually a good shot stopper, he's just hopeless on anything in the air.SocrManiac said:
Don't know if he would have saved that, but he probably would have been in better position.
After another replay... Jones didn't have time to charge. He hopped before the shot, which is a common problem with young and inexperienced keepers. It gives a better feel for springing to either side, but it creates a delay in actually implementing any type of lower body movement. He was at the flattest point when Giroud hit it and couldn't reset his feet.
It would have been a strong save, but I believe an experienced keeper at this level should keep that out.
Edit: He was also far too low in a crouch. His legs were definitely too far apart.

9 minutes still manages to seem conservative given the stoppages. Skrtel, Welbeck, Jones. subs and a goal.
What did you expect? Skrtel was down for 6, Welbeck for a couple more, plus the subs.Luis Taint said:
