yes Sterling on for Cole

Slattsy

Lets see what Sterling can do now!

banie01

F*cking Joe Cole!!!!
Seriously, I never thought I'd see a player in a Liverpool shirt ever manage to reach Kewell's level of Apathy....
Yet he's just exceeded it!
Hopefully Sterling will have a good game in his stead, because he can't be any bloody worse!

El Inho

Loads of time for Sterling to show himself now...

Pyjamarama

Stevie has been muck so far. Hollywood Stevie for sure.

If reality is we need to sell one of our best players, who's not yet reached the peak of his career because our finances demand we can't give him a good contract, then we're absolutely completely & utterly ****ed.

No we are not. Are Spurs ****'d? Are Newcastle? Time to take your head out of the clouds Al. Levy would never hand a €100k contract to a sick note like Agger, they reportedly a wage cap of €60k. When you look at the dross in our squad who are on that or more it's depressing when you realise how much better spurs have done in the last few years compared to us.

Who says Agger would demand £100k a week?

I'd have no issue with us paying players who deserve it that amount (he does IMO) but I'd reckon he's on substantially less than £100k a week, probably half that. He deserves a good pay rise & we need to keep players of his quality. I know you're in a kind of, "i'm just happy Kenny's gone" mood & are willing to allow Rodgers do anything he wants, but you're being ridiculous.

It's really disappointing to see Spearing starting. shows how bad our summer business has been so far. He is so limited.

This is a crazy comment. A low level Europa qualifier and you don't think Spearing is good enough?

Squad for this match is no reflection of transfer business or no reflection of what first team will be this season.

True but it doesn't address the fact the Spearing is not good enough .

Fowler87

Spearing isn't good enough but Downing is pathetic out there tonight. Enrique is playing his role, no wonder he was tearing into him few times

If he's a world class defender who has interest in City he'll get well paid. Maybe he'll give us a discount, wouldn't hold my breath though. Of course you don't have a problem with it, you don't seem to comprehend the problem with handing out that kind of money or the knock on effects it could have. Agger was given a contract 2009, I'd be shocked if it was for only £50k.

Milkers

It boggles my mind how multiple Liverpool coaches and managers must have observed Spearing and said to themselves, "that chap should be playing in midfield for us." We used to have Alonso and Mascherano and now we have Jay Spearing.

Mr Alan

So you think Liverpool should have a wage cap of what, £50k? £60k?

If he is a world class defender chased by the current Champions doesnt he deserve decent money?

I think they have to be sensible with money. Handing out a large contract to a sick note is not being sensible with money.

He's hardly Owen Hargreaves ffs

Even if he's our 3rd best player?

We will find it next to impossible to replace Agger with anywhere near the same quality at the moment.

It's not really about deserving it. It's about being smart with your resources. Spurs over the years have been very smart with theirs. If you weigh up the tranfser fee and wages over the next 4 years(£18m for arguments sake and £20m for wages) I'd expect to us to improve our squad far more than having Agger for 25 PL games a year.

Taken a small punt on Downing first scorer tonight at 12/1. Am I mad? Just think with liverpool heavy favourites to score first and Downing quite likely to start in the front 3, 12/1 seems nice enough.

You Sir, are a genius. Inspired move.

I'd be shocked if Rodgers ends up being as incompetent as Hodgson or Kenny in the transfer market.

Hope I'm made look like a fool few more times this season :P But along with most of them he had an awful meh game. Lets hope he pushes on now. Now or never

What a load of rubbish that was.

however it's worth remembering that Gerrard, Borini, Downing, Henderson, Johnson and Kelly all had 45 minutes or less of football under their belts.

Gerrard was the worst player on the pitch

Historic win for the club lads

BorneTobyWilde

Swansea conceded more than they scored last season,
They might have played good football
But at what cost,

I fear we might be very weak defensively playing 4-3-3

Tonight it seems was a poor display , I never saw it, But
''we were lucky'' is all i'm hearing ,

Tough game but a win and a clean sheet has never been a bad thing all in all a decent start #winningisahabit

Efficient German attitude from The Kaiser.

When I read it in his voice it makes me laugh, Scouse-German has to be one of the funniest accents I've ever heard.
