On balance, I do think Lambert made a mistake in taking Weimann off. 

He had no choice CJ, he was injured.

Fair enough then - I didn't know that!

QPR after Chris Samba £10mil

If he helps keep them up, that will be cheap.  Exactly the sort of player we could do with right now.

*whistles and walks away slowly*

A big, strapping defender was/is the sort of player we desperately need.  I didn't say we should sign him though.  Nice try though.

Its funny (well sort of), I took my stepdad on Sunday (He is a season ticket holder for 20+ years at Anfield).  He said Baker was a tremendous player, and but for the mistake would have been one of his players of the game.  He thought Guzan was outstanding, and really liked Westwood and Benteke.  He is thoroughly pissed off with everything at Liverpool, mostly how they as "fans" are treated, thinks the manager is a big headed twat, and is considering giving up his season tikcet (already told its going up by at least 7%).  He wished they had got Lambert instead.

Bakes is good, but he's a bit reckless and seems to have crazy moments, but like Curtis Davies used to for us.

The difference is he is young and learning.  Dunne and Collins had ricks every game.  Collins still does!

Baker did at least two goal-stopping interceptions and I think he made a bigger contribution than Westwood who was the Man of the Match.

Westwood was man of the match ? Surely benteke was our best player by miles !

Westwood officially man of the match.  And promptly got a high tackle on that dirty scrote Henderson.  benteke wasnt our best player by miles, he was alongside Westy and I thought Baker  played really well against Freddie Mercury(stupid tackle did for him)

But he also caused the goal that cost us the game, so he's never going to get man of the match.

I think it was one of those games where nobody really stood out, despite a good team performance in the first half.  Benteke is probably the best candidate on balance, but then he was pretty much starved of the ball for long periods after the break.

On Sunday we were the better side the first half, then shot ourselves in the foot.  After that, we didn't have the leaders on the pitch, or subs on the bench, to give us a lift and really have  ago at them again.  For all our poor defending in that opening part of the 2nd half, we scored a goal, missed two sitters, had one cleared off the line and gifted them a penalty.  We easily deserved the draw and could have won it.
 

What were the sitters in the second half? Weimann's chance was decent but came at him very quickly, not sure I'd call it a sitter. Liverpool hit the woodwork twice with Suarez and Coutinho regular dangers and could have had a hatful between them. I've been very optimistic about us since the Everton game but on Sunday we were simply beaten by a better side. We scored too early, for the hour afterwards we showed little in the way of sustained pressing and passing high up the pitch that we had prior to Christy's goal.

Gabby missed one in the first and I was also talking about that Weimann chance in the 2nd.  It might be harsh calling it a 'sitter', but it was a very good chance.  Liverpool also had chances, but on the balance I think we had as many clear cut/good chances as they did.
