Kop End Rant

Utterly crap, never in my years of watching Liverpool have I ever come across such a pathetic display, the team should hang their head for disgracing the colors of the reds. As Jamie Reeves said, Bill Shankley is turning in in his grave.

All credit due to Havant, they played their hearts out, we had so many misplaced passes, stupid mistakes, a clown defense in corners and it they werent wearing the Kop jersey I would have thought this was a local end game. The score of 5-2 was no means an indemnity against the way these players played.


LFC 5-2 HAVANT: THE REPORT

For 55 minutes this afternoon, the football world was turned on its head as the plasterers and binmen of Havant and Waterlooville cut the world beaters of Liverpool down to size.

The Blue Square Premier outfit twice took the lead during a bizarre first half in which the Reds' usually-watertight defence sprung a leak.

Rafa Benitez doubtless wished he had a plumber in his side when Richard Pacquette headed home on nine minutes.

Lucas equalised with his first goal in English football on 27 minutes before another unlikely twist. This time Martin Skrtel, making his full debut, deflected home an Alfie Potter shot.

It took Liverpool and Yossi Benayoun until the stroke of half-time to restore parity and some sense of pride. On second thoughts, best put the latter on ice.
