Whilst we weren't great I disagree. I think against a team who actually play football we would have had more space for clear cut chances. Obviously the risk against a team who actually play football is that they would of caused us more trouble.
I find it hard to take much away in the form of analysis from any team who play stoke.
No shame in losing to Sunderland tbh. They're on great form.
Someone post the current league form!
What an awful, awful Liverpool performance, most of the draws and losses have come in games where Liverpool have been dominant and failed to score, here there was just nothing. Sunderland did get a big slice of luck to win and really it should have been a draw but that's still unacceptable.
One thing I hope after this game is that Adam plays every minute of the rest of the season, because the scapegoating of him by Liverpool fans is absolutely absurd. He was poor last week, but this time Kuyt, Spearing, Henderson, Kelly, Coates & Enrique were all worse then he, the only reason I can see that he is getting more criticism than them is that he was the only player who really had much time on the ball, the only player actually trying to do something. The only players to emerge with any kind of credit from the game were Skrtel, unsurprisingly, and Carroll who did very well in his short run out. It really is baffling to me that after a string of good performances he was dropped for the Arsenal game and this one.

Chelsea are now 5 points clear of us. Arsenal beating us on Monday obviously so 6th is our best shot at Europe. Sadface
Have to start somewhere. Can see Newcastle putting together a decent run in the Europa league if the home games sell out like the league games do.
He will always be King Kenny to the fan base because of what he did on the pitch not what he has done in his time managing the club. Carry on.
Ummm, that's because you ARE a mid-table team?
Not recently. I think in the league, before this game, they had one point in their last 3 games.
Gee, if that's the case, I wonder why I'm now seeing a lot less "King Kenny" on my Facebook news feed, in the news headlines and in this thread compared to when he first came on and won a couple of games.
Also,
no shit Sherlock.

God, I'm so sick of Sam's style of football, it's killing our chances of automatic promotion, especially while teams like Reading and Southampton are gaining so much ground with the type of game we should be playing. We're just so goddamn negative, as evidenced by the fact that after we went 1 up in the first ten minutes, Doncaster looked totally shell-shocked, yet with 15 minutes until half time Sam had us sit back and play keep away when we should have been trying to press our advantage.
I remember all the Bolton fans telling us how much we'd love Sam once we started winning games, and yeah, I'm glad he's kept us in a favourable position up to this point, but we've only ever looked convincing, competent and dangerous maybe four or five times this season, the rest of the time we've been exactly the sort of team every West Ham fan feared we'd turn into under Sam's management style.

I genuinely laughed out
I know that feeling!
I can't quite put my finger on it. Something about him just makes me think "cunt" when I look at him.
You know it's a shit day when even the trolling is badly done.

I'll enjoy this tonight, they don't come along often
Do I really need to spell it out for you?
Shogun already did.

Enjoy! I think it's unlikely you'll go down now, Wolves and Wigan are certs for sure and QPR have a run in delivered by Satan

We've cancelled the open top bus tour.

QPR beat, check.
Chelsea win, check.
Spuds beat, *result pending*
My day would be great if Everton could do one over on them glipes.
But I've made t-shirts and shiny avatars for everyone.

Jon Champion is a decent commentator but the people they have with him are bloody terrible.
Also, I am pleased we won, although seemingly we didn't create much.

Next year mate, next year.
WELL.....we could still end the season with more trophies than both City and Man Utd
:| :\ No. We bought English Premiership proven players.
What could go wrong?
What's a £100m between friends?

The fuck is this 4-4-2 again? Just asking to get bullied in the middle of the park.
Probably one of the worst trolling attempts I have seen in my few years on GAF. How exactly can it be deluded to say a good run of results put you back in European contention? Up until last weekend fourth was a possibility for Liverpool.
Not even trying. At least find posts were somebody said we were going to win the league or finish above Man Utd. You know something that would actually make somebody look daft because there are definitely posts out there.
Gone ahead and fixed that for you. The replies you posted were perfectly reasonable at the time. Please go ahead and send Chriswok a PM. He has vast experience in Liverpool baiting, you could use the help.
Not so bad by Chelsea today to be honest. We hit the post three times and forced Begovic into a couple of good saves. Even before the red card to Fuller we were pleasing to watch. One thing's for sure, much more enjoyable than the Chelsea playing in the final 2 months of AVBs reign. We also created far more genuine chances than we did in recent PL games.
OH HO! You got me as excited as ever!! Enjoy it bro.
You're killing meeeee that's so awesome to hear! I hear the ending leaves much to be desired though. Can't wait!
I'm playing on the normal difficulty Feorax as it is my first time. Did you start it on insanity from the first time :0?? I am recruiting as well, but I explore the galaxy as much as possible to tackle all the side missions first. Game is great!
That's true, was quite odd. However, I also found it odd when Smalling pulled down a Bilbao player, and it should have been a penalty IMO, yet United got a free kick! The errors were on both teams I guess.
I loved the goal, very nice Thanks Sunhi.

4 at the back, 2 of Sandro, Parker and Livermore in the middle, Modric doing his thing, Bale and VDV wide but with license to roam and support the front man, Adebayor up top.
How we played against Norwich basically.

Got around to watching my second EPL game ever (Bolton vs QPR). Good stuff there at the end. Watching a stream of Everton vs Tottenham now.
