Why do the team start playing and stretching the opposition once they've gone a goal down? These bozos were a pub team for all intents and purposes, its so frustrating. Granted Heskey was very poor, & their 'keeper looked inspired, but this whole approach is no way for the mighty reds to conduct themselves. Scraping an away draw in a knock-out competition is nothing to be optimistic about. Sure we'll go through at Anfield but i doubt after handing out a thrashing. For the money Houllier has spent/frittered away we should have a rock solid group of ultra eager players ready to come in & hoping to impress for a first team place. Its tiring seeing Liverpool labouring against such modest oppostion. from me cell.........
Pawn, what is it you don't understand about tactics..? You have to look a the BIG picture. We lose out on this buy the away goal (Yes they score on the return, we don't) We lose the FA cup to D and R. and we stay out of the Worthy. Now we concentrate on the league and gain our place in the CL for next season. Now have you got it...
How does the player's inability to get to grips with the vigorous opposition on that carthorse pasture of a pitch reflect on Houllier's tactics? Those are just little marks on a blackboard and a set of general formation instructions. People are too quick to grab a handful from the cliche jar sometimes.
How blinkered can you be? I dont own a cliche jar, do you know where i could purchase such a vessel? Inability to get to grips with vigourous opposition? That statement makes my point better than I did. Very impressive to think a yankie doodle has even heard of Dagenham & Redbridge! A club in some disarray at the moment for off pitch & slightly dark reasons.

Re: How blinkered can you be? How blinkered can you be? About as blinkered as someone who thinks that because I live in the US, that I'm US born. "& slightly dark reasons" Mars is in retrograde right now and uranus has a dark spot in the centre.
