They just scored on us, Anderton off a corner. Are you kidding me? That's their first shot on target the whole match. I feel like we have Houllier back.
We've had our chances, to be fair. It's not like we've been sitting around in our half the whole match. That said, we've been waiting for this kind of match to happen. We fuddle around constantly in the first half, and waste early chances like nobody's business. It was going to bite us in the ass eventually . . .

This is going to kill me the whole week until we can pick up points next weekend if we lose. I still can't believe we haven't scored.

This just completely killed my whole day. We just lost our 100% home record to Birmingham! Birmingham for christs' sakes. I'm sure the fans at Anfield didn't leave too happily either.
Oh my...!!! Got to go out with the Stanwood Prowlers now. Hope we have better luck. We're about an hour away for this match in Monroe and a close 1-0 tie when they played here. It's going to be wet and fun. I'll get the the results as soon as I can for you guys waiting for good news........
well,i guess its now time to get worried!!!!The match before this one, we did have alot of great chances to score,but they never cost us that much since the midfield scored in almost all the matches to save us!!!But this is the first match that those missed chances did really cost us 3 points, and if we continue playing like this,there will be more matches like this one!!!!
It's not that we played badly, I really haven't heard anything to say we did. We just couldn't put it in the net. And with both Cisse and Baros out today, we didn't have a proven goalscorer up front today. I might also add that this was Birmingham's first away win since last December. They had lost 10 and drawn their last 16 matched away from home.
yeah ,but this has been a problem long before Cisse and Baros got injured!!!how many one on one did the strikers have and didnt score???I have lost the count,but the problem is not only the strikers,but the midfield aswell.Garcia is missing just to many chances!!! and kewell ,now i am getting real fustrated with that guy!think even Diao could have done a better job than him!!
Sure, i'll agree with you on some of those, but how many goals have we scored this year than we did last? Alot I can almost guarantee. How many 1-0 or 2-1 wins and losses did we have last year? TONS. I don't think it is time to start ragging on Garcia or Kewell for how they played, if anything, they should be congratulated for a well played game. Seems as what i've heard, since I didn't get to watch the game, is that we were incredibly unlucky not to have scored.
