It's more than just that. Our defending has been so sloppy around the box. We've just stuck a leg out and tripped them up, I mean, we started well and looked well up for it, but too often we gave it away then allowed them to build pressure via set pieces. Since then, we've just stood off them and our movement off the ball has again been woeful. Kuyt offers little down the right and he's been unable to get Johnson in any decent positions.

We need to get Gerrard on the ball, that's where we miss Alonso the most, he would always get it to Gerrard in space, ready to create, Lucas is just too slow and sloppy.

Your really need Aquallina to be fit have never seen him play TBH but you look like a bottom half team at the mo with Lucas running the game he cant get players involved like Alonso did you will miss him more than anyone could imagine

Zonal marking.

It's faaaaaaaaaaantastic.......

2-0 to villa at h/t bit less whinging from torres and reina and a bit more football would help them liverPOO just awful in the 1st half!

Dont like to laugh at other teams but this is only good news for us

Lucas > Anderson
