Seems Carlo is saving his subs for Extra Time. So if we lose in 90 minutes I'm going to be pissed off.

FUUUUUUUcking stream has switched to german football.

Was going to mention that myself. Did you see the dark haired one on the right? Pretty hot.

40,000 can today.

Is anyone watching it on Al Jezzera Sports? I can't work out who the co-commentator is..

Well Josh won't be coming on then probably, Essien on for Mikel at HT.

Well they seem to be quite eloquent and have a good vocabulary, so that narrows it down to basically Lampard or Clark Carlise.

Actually watch the replay you fool. His touch was barely a yard ahead of him, not "ridiculously heavy". Howard clipped his foot, and when running at that speed it will take the player down.

Our first touch and passing has still been very poor. Malouda needs to come off. I'd take Kalou off as well if we had the players to replace them, but we don't. Thing is, all we've got to replace Malouda really is Anelka, who is just another player who will slow the game down and move centrally. We desperately need a wide player. I might even throw Sala on just to get some width, because we are lacking it so much. McEachran has to come on soon as well, probably for Mikel.

The f**k are you talking about? Watch the replay, he took his foot out.

f**k YOU DOWD

What a waste that was, Malouda with space to run into, takes too long, passes to Cole who slows it down even more and we lose it.

Is the game on ITV or BBC does anyone know?

Definitely should give him another contract and give him a chance.

Arsenal beat Barca. Spurs beat Milan. We draw with Fulham. :hmm: I just really cannot see us getting past either of those 2 (or City for that matter) and into the top 4. We're going to have to have a major clear out in the summer I think and prepare ourselves for maybe a few more seasons without CL football so we can rebuild with a younger side.

If he's fit, he should be first choice, unless his legs really start to go and he can't keep up with anyone, since he's always been a bit slow anyway so it will happen soon enough I imagine.

Better sign Gronkjaer up quick then.

Stupid question really... Both give you CL football and one gives you CL glory & the f**king over of Spurs. Not a hard choice.

If your mate doesn't want it, i'll buy it.

Spurs are just much better than us i'm afraid, they'll get 4th. And that's very depressing to say, but it's the truth.

We could be looking at a 6th p[lace finish if Liverpool continue their improved run of form. This could be a disaster of a season.

I do try to stick behind managers when I can, but this inability to see what is wrong and actually make an effort to change it is really starting to grate on me. Few more games like this and I think he'll be gone. Then maybe we can do a Liverpool and use the new manager as a "fresh start" and go on a better run of form.

5th

Could have anyone up front really, but without decent passing from the midfield and attempting to actually go beyond the opposition backline, what are they supposed to do? Get the ball, beat 8 defenders and smash it top corner?

Well, i suppose we have to be happy with 1 point considering how close we came to losing. But 4th place is going to be a huge ask now, and I don't think we'll make it.
