ive left the game tonight and i feel like the owners have just bent me over for a laugh
how can you 'DISMISS' a game where people open their wallet and hand over their OWN HARD EARNED cash to watch it? Do the players not value our money?

People work in the poorest of jobs and pay their money yet we should 'forget it' and 'its only the cup'? The attitude stinks and its rediculous. If we had no intention of winning whats the flippin point in playing. We were dreadful tonight, worse than the norwich game. No urgency, nothing. Long balls. No atmosphere aswell, partly due to the lack of drive and movement in the team.

Im shocked that we can just forget this performance...wake up...not every1 has money to waste like that.

Why is it the owners fault?

If you feel shafted blame Bruce and his so called players.

I give up.

So let's everyone moan at Bruce, the Board, the Players or whatever for losing 1-0 to a Champions league winning side. Then let's sit back and watch the Morale of our players hit rock bottom just like it did last season and then moan some more about us not winning.

Get real, I say again THAT particular Liverpool side have never won anything and do you really believe the players read this message board, they don't even bother to read the newspapers apparently.

Its not a case of loosing to a Champions league winning team, its a case of we didnt look interested. If we had given it a real go created a lot of chances and still conceded that unlucky goal then there would probbly be mininal complaining, its that fact that the team did not look interested.

Agree, i would like to think this has shown a few people tonight that we are pretty average, but you cant blame anyone for losing to Pool im just stunned that there are some fans that thought we would win, now thats faith, blind faith maybe but there you go.

Maybe the players had their minds on Saturdays games against Barnsley. maybe thats more important to them. I have no concerns how they played tonight. in fact i hope they took it easy we do no not need any injuries for Sat do we.

**thumbup **thumbup Totaly agree, imagine if we had ended up having McSheffrey out for 2/3 weeks because he was trying too hard to get onto a ball which was impossible to reach.. needless injury. Then we would have had to suffer the consequences... like I say.. I'm happy with tonights performance and wont lose a wink of sleep

No one should lose any sleep over the outcome of a football match, but do you think the hard-working Brummies got their moneys worth tonight ? Did you go ? If you did were you happy to fork out to watch a team who put no effort in whatsoever ? It's only right to focus on Barnsley next saturday but remember - you are only as good as your last match and we lost at fortress St Andrews.

first blues game i have seeny since the painful memories of the last few years as a season ticket holder

and I still beleive i made the right choice in not bothering anymore

there was more liverpool fans in the home end than actual blues fans from what i could see - last time i was down blues i cant remember seeing more than 10 asians in the ground, al i saw today was asians and chinese , not being racist or anything but ethnic minorities tend to support well known teams :)

from a footballing point of view it was like watching a premiership game from last season, it was obvious liverpool were not that bothered, they showed as much interest as manure did last night however southend took advantage of that, I hoped julian gray would never play again for this club but alas he was there again, bottling challenges, ignoring to track back, not even bothering to make himself look remotly useful !

oki fair enough i havent watched much blues games this season but tonight just signified what i have always thought, it is depressing, boring and frustrating, it is like trying to ice skate up hill, only a few players are interested whilst the rest lack concentration and willingness to fight

I think danns and djc are out of their depth, they might just about be squad players in this league but they offer little else, i find julian gray an irritant, he couldnt even give their yts right back any problems, i found saddler more of a threat on the left wing, jerome does look a good player however he will struggle playing alongside djc as he needs someone to hold the ball up to play alongside, i think larsson looked the only decent player for us in the first half, i find stephen kelly light weight, he doesnt look a right back, he doesnt look a right winger, he does not show composure on the ball neither does he show positional sense

jaidi is a more expensive version of tebilly

and finally I can see why so many fans are still worried about promotion this season when we only looked even remotely dangerous with the likes of bendtner and mchseffrey on the pitch, i find it hard to beleive that bruce has spent so heavily yet relies on his loan signings to bring some form of cohesion to the team

I still sense something wrong with the club behind the scenes, the players just dont look happy playing together apart from the 3 arsenal lads and mcsheffrey, nafti just ignored bruce but i could understand that consdering he won the african nations a few years back and is one of our most experienced internationals

it is the same old same old, i dont think e knows how to use the talents of some of these players and he is still using the problematic players thus breaking down cohesion and morale in the team, something that has been apparent since the signings of heskey / jesper / gray

No I didn't go, Because there was not a chance in hell of me being able to make it.. I would have but I couldnt simple as, and I have absolute sympathy for the noses which turned up.. I am the first person on the ticket price's are too much bandwagon.. im talking footballing wise though at this moment in time

DID you go to the game? have to watch that tripe. Forget the opposition, they werent up to much in the first half. there was just nothing. The players didnt seem to be up for it, and it shows why gray isnt in the side. Nothing performance.

Im fed up of wasting my money which could be spent on my travels in may having to put up with players not interested in returning our favour of paying their wages and turning up to support them. Why should they be allowed to waste our money because it was a cup game? Can anybody justify this? Its not a moan at the manager, i havent even mentioned him, its just the attitude of the players who dont appear to have the hunger to warrant a starting place :banghead:

Oh yeah

and it was the first time this all conquering Liverpool side have won away from Anfield this season and it was their first goal from open play away from home. But hey remember they are ex European Cup winners, ex FA cup winners, ex champions and ex Carling Cup winners.

So you never once thought that the club were dropping a hint as to how important this game was in the scheme of things, £29 for Leicester. How much was it for tonights game ?

Just got back from the match and have to say the team didn't look interested until McSheffrey and Bendtner came on. I do hope we don't have to rely on these players to gain advantages against other teams, as we'll need all 11 players to play for each other.

But in fairness, Maik Taylor has to be my M.O.T.M - due to the penalty ;)

Mind you, even though there wasn't much atmosphere I still enjoyed myself hehe. Only cuz my missus kept texting me though ;)

Ah well, onwards to Saturday. Let's hope the lads show more "fire in the bellies" - then they can concentrate on trying to win this league (do we win bottles of coke aswell? :lol: )

So I'm not agreeing with anyone - it's just my take on it :)

why does that mean we HAVE TO LOSE? FFS why is it there is no belief in our club. we get to the edge of the area and stop. its a culture at the club. If blues are 1-0 up in the 9th minute Tom Ross always says "81 MINUTES TO GO". Thers just a negativity.i like bruce, didnt want to mention him but i feel i have to. Just because we play liverpool does that mean we cant run or jump or move? Its the kind of negative mindset we have in our club
'Oh well it was liverpool'
SO WHAT. Im sick of these excuses. They didnt even play that well at all. Im appaled tonight, feel worse than norwich as i've voluntarily came tonight with it being a cup game, like the other fans. 25000 turned up and thats what they are "treated" to.

still think they charge based on the opponents rather than the occasion

few years back blues would of charged a measly £10er v preston in the cup but we charge £15 but in a lower league

agree with you willie that this league takes priority but why charge £15 when there was still 6k worth of seats empty and bruce saying the game was not that important in his pre match interview

as for the team tonight, half of them act like big time charlies having played in the top flight fully beleiving we would lose with their cynical mind frame and lack of responsibility on the ball

only bright sparks for this club atm are bendtner / larsson / muamba and mchseffers, only one of those players belong to us with the rest possibly being back at their parent clubs within 8 weeks - hows that negativity !

You just don't get it do you. You want to win 99% of the time then you support the wrong club. Not even Man U or Chelsea win all the time. Dissapointment at losing is no bad thing but that has to be balanced with a large slice of realism.

I really find it hard to believe I am reading such negative comments after that match. It's just as if some people were waiting for a defeat so they could come on and moan.

At the end of the match, the majority of fans stood and applauded the team off the pitch for what was a gritty display against a team which, although not Liverpool's first team, was still packed with internationals.

People keep saying that Liverpool rested players, well, so did we. It's just that when they rest players, they still have such tremendous players as back-up, as befits one of the League's richest clubs.

We played well.

Now though, I just want us to carry on our good form in the league.

Agreed.

Even though I'm disappointed at losing, I do feel had we have done more, we could have won or at least forced extra time. But not devastated though, because the most important thing to me (personally) this season is promotion - winning the cup would have been nice too though ;) imagine all us bluenoses in Europe :) well you lot, not me as I'm scared of flying :lol:

Now though I'm looking forward to Saturday! Hopefully we'll go and grab 3 points **thumbup

im not one of the moaners, im speaking about the abject performance unless there were chances i missed? I just cant believe that people are prepared to accept wasting so much money to watch players with the hunger of a breeze block. If we were cleaned up, yes, then we were outplayed. But as much as i want us to get promoted, that doesnt mean cup games are irrelevant. They're not free and players arent exempt from effort in these games. i hope bruce read nafti the riot act for his attitude at being subbed. childish and pathetic.
