Liverpool were utterly dire after the red card. 

indeed..completely woeful

[ ] Rafa got his tactics right after the sending off.

p.s. Well done Kev

Rafa wasn't there

didnt his 2nd in command say he'll be in contact with him throughout the match though?

He was, and it was definitely Rafa-style tactics as far as the subs went.

not the same is it?

Prolonged exposure to satellite television experts can throw a tactician off his game

I've got to disagree about Dossena. Going forwards he's been from good to very good in a few recent games (note few and recent lol). The defensive side of being a full back you can learn, unlike being a centre half. He'll be ok.

Andy Gray is tactically the worst commentator/pundit on television with maybe the exception of Paul Merson. How he is Sky's marquee analysis man I will never know.

Dossena would be a fairly decent left-half, but as a defender his positional sense is woeful.

[ ] Wenger will say sorry to the ref for all his moaning when he sees the replay of the Adebayor sending off

[ ] You were wrong and Wenger was gracious

It'll get better though. He's at the best place to learn. And we need marauding full backs at home.

I like Agger tbh, is he liked by the fans ?

Insua >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dossena

He can go forward and cross as well as Dossena, but he can also defend.  19 years old, so he's going to improve as well.

Oh yes, Agger is quality.  It's funny, when Skrtel was playing alongside Carragher earlier in the season, Agger couldn't get into the side.  Skrtel's injury gave him a chance to re-establish himself.  He didn't grab this opportunity (for whatever reason).  However, he's getting back to form now and is a very decent centre back - comfortable with the ball and bringing it forward out of defence.  He also has a hell of a shot on him as well.

I think there have been problems off the pitch with him getting mixed up with the wrong crowd and  various other rumours.

he was on the phone to him constantly and passed on messages..so I'm thinking Rafa was the man deciding things....and

[ ] he made the right choices at the right times

Yeah we do. The only problem is Skrtel's awesome form before his injury and Carragher being Carragher.

Apparently Milan want Agger.

Agree completely. In fact he's probably our best left back.

FYP

The thing is with Arsenal's sending off, it actually galvanised the team to working harder, and thats what Liverpool couldn't break down.. but also to be fair 11 v 11 Liverpool were on top..just, for them, its disappointing they couldn't continue that 11 v 10.
