Have to say that bluenose goal last night was like a dagger to the heart.

Still can't bear to turn on the tv or look up teletext incase I am reminded of last night.

Same here..Actually only reading this thread for first time since game as I just knew there be fighting and slagging carry on

Didn't think it was a great performance from the Pool, being really honest they probably didn't deserve the 3 points..

Maybe it has been mentioned but does anyone else think Reina is dropping a lot of balls lately ?

Rooney is one and I think Ferguson is the other. The other guy, is he the Liverpool manager? Can't remember his name.

Reina has always been kind of dodgy on crosses

2- zonal marking -. Firstly, forget what Andy Gray says, Liverpool do not play zonal marking. They play a mixture of zonal and man marking.

Anyone else snigger at this?

Why would you snigger?

Regardless of whether Benitez is too cautious (imo he was again last night in taking off a couple of strikers for midfielders and removing the one player - Torres - that Everton were petrified of) or whether he uses the right formations at times, it will be a lack of quality that will continue to cost Liverpool points. How many of us at the start of the season really believed that Liverpool could win the title with players like Benayoun, Lucas, (Kuyt - sorry Corn), Aurelio, Arbeloa in the team? I've been scratching my head the past couple of months wondering how we've actually managed to top the league. It was that lack of quality that cost us last night. Just not enough chances created and a poor piece of defending leading up the free kick and then on the free kick itself. There just are a few too many players there who are not title winning material imho and that will continue to cost the team points as the season goes on.

I think he finds it funny/strange that you state that Liverpool don't play zonal marking but they do a bit.

Then again, I don't know a f**k.

Yes, that is why I said a mixture. Zonal marking involves defending players beeing stationed at various positions while man-marking is obvious. Raf deploys four or five to zones and the rest man mark accordingly. I would imagine Liverppol have either the best or second best defensive record to set pieces this year.

Very effective if people keep their role, if players do not do their job it is costly = Torres v United last season.

It's like saying I don't eat chips. I eat chips and eel.

Liverpool zonal mark. It's a massive part of their defensive set-up.

Armamike · January 20, 2009, 11:55:22 PM

Whether it's zonal marking or not, for the very most part it works week in week out. Last night excepted though when someone decided not to keep close tabs on Everton's most dangerous player in the box.

He has probably been dropping a few more recently. He's better than he's ever been when it comes to shot stopping though. Plus I love the way he's so keen to get attacks going. Never lets anyone fall asleep.

He wasn't good for the Everton goal. Cahill's header went right into the middle of the goals, and he was nowhere near.

10 consecutive games without a goal for Kuyt. 6 as striker, 4 as right midfielder.
