I know alot of people don't like it when I say things like this, but Spurs probably deserved the 3 points. Yes we should have been awarded another penalty in the 86th minute, but we've been down this road before and referring decisions balance themselves out over the course of a season.
It was a poor performance from us and we looked like a team in pre-season mode. Were it not for the brilliance of Reina it would have been a very embarassing scoreline. I'll resist the urge (for now) to single out any players, but we all know certain players should have made at least some effort.
Look on the bright side of things, the football season is back, and we'll no doubt be treated to a rollercoaster ride, that's just football. Hopefully the lads can redeem themselves and win against Stoke on Wednesday night.

The 2 players I was most looking forward to seeing this year are Babel and Lucas. Its their time to prove they got what it takes to be at Liverpool. Lucas took his chance and played well. Babel completely wasted his chance and I am very disappointed with him. I dont think Babel is right in the head and he is not good enough for Liverpool.
Now is as good a time as any to start worrying. Just one look at our bench reveals just how thin our squad is. The Yanks better let Benitez sign another couple of players before the transfer window closes.
That was one very bad performance and we couldn't even string any passes together. I miss Alonso already !
Johnson, Insua, Lucas, Reina, Benayoun were alright but the rest of the guys - oh dear !
@Scouserine - yeah Babel has me a little concerned, hope he doesn't end up wasting his potential.
@Marcus - I'd be surprised if Rafa isn't pushing them to sign at least another defender, there's still some time left though.
what can you say about that performance? i mean they just looked like they didnt want to be there... it was so bloody frustrating to watch... it really ticks me off... and babel was just pathetic... you just wanna give the guy a chance but then you see him play and he just looks like he would even struggle in the championship... on the upside... i think lucas wasnt bad... you can actually see that he has alot of talent... rant over
@suley - can't really blame anyone for wanting a rant after a performance like that now ;-)
Was watching the match in a pub with a mate of mine and the rant we were having is a little unprintable ;-)
That was such a huge disappointment. HUGE. We are the only top four team not to win. Its not even that we lost that bugs me its the way we lost through a lazy performance. Babel was the worst culprit, he didnt even look like he was bothered to be there at all. Torres is a worry, he really doesnt look fit enough to be on the pitch and we dont have a backup plan for him.
LIVERPOOL SHOULD OF PLAYED GERRARD IN MIDFIELD, AND NGOG UP WITH TORRES, NGOG CAN TAKE THE BALL OUT OF THE AIR ON HIS CHEST AND CONTROL THE BALL BETTER THAN KUYT.
BENAYOUN SHOULD OF BEEN ON ALSO.
BABEL , LUCAS, VORININ ARE REALLY USELESS, SELL THEM AND BUY SOME ONE GOOD.
SACK RAFA AND HIRE HARRY!!
@Larry - yup, it certainly was a huge disappointment, but it's only one game so I won't be losing any sleep over it.
@John - whoa, I wouldn't go so far as to think we should sack Rafa and hire Harry. Rafa is so much better than Harry can ever hope to be.
It was a perfect, wonderful footballmatch. Intense and tight. The way it should be.
@John - It's just the start of the season. You'll see the further we get through the season, that it was probably our worst game :-) RAFA's THE MAN!!!
@isak - "perfect, wonderful match, the way it should be" - which match ?
Here's how I look at it.
1. It's only the first game, we can move on
2. Last season we swept away the others in the beginning, petered out towards the end, and ultimately ended runners-up. Maybe a bad start is good :P
@Isak - I hope it does turn out to be our worst game of the season ;-) Plus it's best to get it out the way now.
@Idle Wild - exactly, that's exactly what I'm hoping for also :-)
I wouldn't say we petered out towards the end, i'd say we swept away all in front of us. we were playing better than we have done for years. I'm hoping Rafa goes for the same attacking mentality again. Were certainly going to miss Hyypia this season.We can do without Alonso. When is Fabio back?
@kev oman - I hope we don't miss Hyypia too much, it wouldn't be a very good thing !?! I think Aurelio is meant to be out for about another month, but it gives Insua plenty of time to seal his place ;-)
