If Boro had come to play like NewCastle did then the score would have reflected that. Surely someone with DAVO astute football knowledge knows that. Anyway we will only get better so I'll take 8 points from 4 games early in the season. Were level with our two main challengers and we havent played well yet.
I don't think excuses are allowed..
Its common knowledge that the lesser teams often pack their defences when playing the top teams....and the likes of us often struggle to break them down..
But not you, not with your flair and attacking options...
And 1 striker

We're playing some decent football, but it's not quite clicking yet, especially in the finishing department. It's rythm that we are lacking, that's all, and it will come sooner rather than later.
Yes thats true..
But then no one's arguing about our football...you've told me many times how boring we are - and how you'd never resort to such..your fans wouldn;t allow it..
I'm sure you'll soon find your rhythm once more...and be the envy of the Brazilian samba masters once again

of course
Do you think Liverpool will remember how to defend leads like they used to?

No I haven't. Never!
Others have though.

You're not allowed to agree with him, that would take all the fun out of baiting us
For what its worth I dont like playing with one striker either. SAF does this to accomodate Veron (cos he knows he cant defend). But Ole warming the bench - at home - against mid to lower table opposition - is a crime.
I dont expect 'him' to understand, but YES a 10-2 defeat IS better than a 0-0
It's NOT just about winning, it's about winning in style, its what this club has and always will be about.

If we win 5-3 then you will critisize our defence i am sure.. F**K OFF..

To be fair you lot have been playing more attacking football this season. BUT, lets see your GA column now. Not very impressive is it?
Always knew that your defence and goalie "looked" good only because the rest of your team were basically playing as defenders as well... including Heskey.

...and you base that on the opening four games of the season.
Well done.

Oh don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be moaning if my lot had won there first 2 home games..
But you Mancs are different...you're only interested in attacking football...and would prefer to lose 10-2 then draw 0-0, the flamboyant superstars that you are..
I don't think easy wins in CL qualifiers against farmers count either? At least, they didn't this time last year...</strong><hr></blockquote>
Not really so confused....Davo what's going on in your life.
Your windups aren't even making sense anymore. Your posts used to be my favorite form of forum standup comedian/comic strip entertainment.
You're losing it man.

Now your just being stupid, some of the greatest players in british football have donned the red shirt of Liverpool, hence 30 years of unparalleled success. Even the most biased manc can't dispute that, surely??

30 years??
You were very successful during the dark periods of the 70s & 80s... haven't they taught you how to count to 30 in dipperland?

Your quite right, the 70's and 80's was when we really took the piss, but after winning the second division in 1962 we went on to win 2 league championships an F.A cup and reach the cup winners cup Final. All before 1970.
Not quite up to later standards but still better than anybody else.

Look at your last few games of the season as well genius. Can't you tell a big difference in your style of play of the team sent out by the pre and post op Houllier?
