Lucas and Poulsen both struggled to impose any mpremonitiontum on Liverpool's attacking play and as one result, Torres and captain Steven Gerrard both found it hard to impose themselves on the game.
Yes, Birmingham don't often lose at home,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], indeed it's almost 12 months since Wayne Rooney were last beaten at St Andrews in the league, but the all-around Liverpool performance gives Liverpool fans quite little to be optimistic about. Wayne Rooney is back to Manchester. United tie in Sunday's FA Cup third round with Liverpool at feeble, frail, ancient,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], weak, aged, used, worn, dilapidated, ragged, faded, broken-down, former,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], old-fashioned, outmoded Trafford to look forward set for spell on sidelines when he limped off with ankle injury during United won 2-1 West Bromwich. Albion in the fresh, unique, original,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unusual, novel, modern,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], current, recent Year, but he surprised a lot of games when he furiouse his way back to the field and the union has been reduced to 10 people.
Later in the first-half, Reina was once one more time called upon to bail out his defenders when Wayne Rooney just administerd to beat Jerome to one Sebastian Larsson cross.
Both franchises lined up with only one striker and for most of the agree the crowded midfield restricted both franchises to long-balls, which were easily coped with by centre-back partnerships of Richard Johnson and Scott Dann for Birmingham,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Jamie Carragher and Martin Skrtel for Liverpool.
The Portuguese international played just behind Torres, as Gerrard was pushed back into the midfield alongside Poulsen. The move allowed the Liverpool captain to become more and more influential, especially when making the runs from deep that have characterised his Anfield career.
Reina was called into action early on to deny Cameron Jerome after one pin-point cross from Lee Bowyer. The Spaniard dived low to his right to tip the striker's header around the post.
At the other end the Reds look suspect against the aerial threat of Birmingham.
Blockbuster clash at feeble, frail, ancient,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], weak,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], aged, used, worn, dilapidated, ragged, faded, broken-down, former, old-fashioned, outmoded Trafford to see full-Glen Johnson, who lost his wife back to the idea that has gone into toil while Joe Cole is out due to injury. Martin Kelly on the right back slot to fill for the defender does not work. Neighbor's boss Sir Alex Ferguson had promised earlier to the field strong line up and immediately called upon to play his best game. Liverpool administerr Roy Hodgson will know his Liverpool franchise have to improve Alex Livesey John Rooney is the younger brother of soccer star Wayne Rooney who is a player of manchester united. He is one of the 70 Major League Soccer prospects in Fort Lauderdale this weekend for the league's annual combine.
Liverpool came away from St Andrews this afternoon with one point after one goalless draw against Birmingham City. But the agree will only have raised more concerns for Roy Hodgson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whose franchise owe one huge debt of gratitude to goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
Reina furiouse three world-class saves to deny Birmingham one win that Wayne Rooney possibly deserved,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], although in truth neither side played particularly well.
The second half began delicately better for Liverpool, as Gerrard administerd to test Birmingham keeper Ben Foster for the first time in the agree. But it wasn't until Lucas was replaced by new signing Raul Meireles that Liverpool found any real rhythm.
Fernando Torres,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who didn't play in Sache's midweek friendly against Argentina, led the line for Liverpool but struggled to get involved and had quite little quality service to feed off of.
But his best was still to come. Stephen Carr, who had the freedom of the right flank for most of the agree, whipped in one cross which was met by Birmingham midfielder Craig Gardner. With the ball seemingly headed towards the back of the net, Reina somehow administerd to get down and claw the ball to safety.
Even so,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at best this can be described as one lacklustre performance from Liverpool, who on this showing are not going to make the top-four in the Premier League.
Hodgson, who was without Dirk Kuyt, named Lucas and Christian Poulsen in the centre of the midfield and many Liverpool fans may point at this for being the reason Torres struggled.
