Haha, turn over to watch the Phelps final and Downing scores. That's as big an achievement for his as Phelp's 20th Olympic medal is.

12/1 first scorer... Someone on the main thread threw a few quid on it.. Fair play

billymitchell

Dat stepover by Spearing. Xavi-esque :eek:

daithijjj

Our year.

Stevie G might be the worst player out there tonight and thats a hard thing to be...

Grayditch

Really thought that lad was going back for Skrtel, there.

super_furry

Ah normal service has been resumed.

Its the first game of the season with nowhere near your first team.
Those lads are well into their season,at home and looking for a big upset.
It was never going to be a cakewalk.

True but believe it or not there is only three first team players missing.

henderson for me, absolutely useless.

livinginkorea

Nice play Sterling. Hope he can do that again given the chance.

super_furry

This is the perfect time for Stirling. Playing against a 'lesser' team who have broken their collective bollocks chasing down and pressuring Liverpool throughout, so much so that they've run themselves into the ground. Now he can run at them, stretch them and punish them.

At the time I posted it was you're best goalkeeper,best defender,best midfielder(now on) and best forward.

I hope he does, would love to see him score.

I'm alright , I'm alright !

Henderson may as well not have been on the pitch but Stevie for me has been a serious detriment. Out of position constantly, hollywood passes not coming off, sloppy back paces. Hope this isn't a sign of whats to come from him. For those who say we dont need another cm, tonight was pretty strong evidence we do!

dr ro

think we all **** ourselves temporarily there.

why is Gerrard upfront at the moment?

Cas he's too gassed to walk back to midfield.

skydish79

The match was all about improving our fitness

gaelicred

Get in lads well done

livinginkorea

Game over, not a great display but we were lucky.

FernandoTorres

We should buy that Alumona chap

Leiva

1st game 1st win.

62 to go !

smileyj1987

It wasn't a great display but thank god we got the win and an away goal .

ThunbergsAreGo

A win, thats all that matters

remember a similar performance under rafa in riga or vilinuis

El Inho

regardless of performance...a win is a lift...mindset, get the ball rolling and several other clichés....im going back to being a positive liverpool fan.

reasons:

cole got injured so he can't play (sucks we cant sell him on though)
in turn sterling played
lucas got a knock...
it wasnt in anyway serious and he hopped back up
downing has matched last seasons score tally for himself already

Sir Gallagher

Poison but it's early days, i think it would be foolish to be expecting any noticable style of play from this group of players at this stage. My main concern at this moment in time is what the hell we're playing at in the transfer market.

Agreed about time we played crap and won:D

Gaolcon

Yes we wont get anybody in the Transfers if we dont hurry up ...
But a win is very welcome after none in preseason friendlies

A historic win for the club!
