We just didnt play well throughout, Riise, Voronin & Sissoko were the worst offenders. I think Riise & Sissoko will be lucky to be at this club next season. They just arent good enough in my opinion, cant fault their work ethic or commitment, but what do they add to the side really? There are so many better left backs in the Premiership than Riise, and i think every top half side (and some bottom half sides) have a better central midfielder than Sissoko. Its a relief when he manages to ferry the ball to a Red shirt, because it is so rare. Riise is better at keeping the ball, but in terms of useful possession, his trick seems to be either a 40 yard strike at goal (one in a hundred will find its way in), or a long punt upfield in the vague direction of Crouch. I dont think Aurelio or Arbeloa are world class, but fuck me they are better than him, so was Warnock who we let go to Blackburn.

I agree they weren't at their best but Liverpool was still the better side and created more. Reading's second also wouldn't have happened if Liverpool had been 1-0 up or 2-1 up...at least Arsenal lost.
If we get two wins this week it will still have been a good week especially if Arsenal and Chelsea draw.
