What a match. That one was everywhere, but I wish the announcers wouldnt make such a huge deal of Agger playing LB. Hell, I thought Agger had a great game! Hell, he could have won it at the death! Wheres Torres there? You put that ball on Torres' head rather than a CB in Agger and thats 3 points! At least Agger tried.

That said, obviously this is not the Liverpool of old, this is probably a mid-table club at best, and at worst they're going to earn a lot of draws. Little possession, mediocre movement and no width. I cant think of the number of times they tried busting in down the middle, very few wide passes to the wings in expectation of a cross. And no creativity in finish.

I mean, I saw Gerrard 2 yards ahead of Carra and Skrtl in a tie game with 4 minutes left. WTF IS STEVIE DOING IN OUR OWN HALF WHEN WE NEED A WINNER? Holy hell. Mereiles was poor, as was Kuyt, as was Torres. It wasnt fun to watch, I'll say that. Not to mention Poulson. Wow, learn to defend man! What're your arms doing all the way up there? That was an ironclad penalty, no doubt about it.

At least they didnt lose a la Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal. Thats positive, but they are going to have to start bringing in 3 points occasionally. Could have used those 3 points today to catch up!

And another thing, this 'extra time' business is getting out of hand. 6 extra minutes? Thats nuts. And then they played what, almost 8 I think after the keeper got injured? The entire World Cup never saw more than 3 minutes. I guess the fans are getting their money's worth. Maybe Roy is borrowing some of Fergie's minutes, I wonder what the rate plan is for those minutes.

I dont think I have ever seen a regular addition of 6 minutes outside of a Man Utd game. Unreal. 5 and then they play a little extra, maybe, but 6 on the board?
