Are things really that bad for you that this is all you can think about.

If it means that much to you you can PM me your email address and, when /if City win, I will get a screenshot or whatever and email it to you. It is a €200 City win and a €100 City win so whatever that nets me.

I find it hard to believe that you've got €50 to throw around, never mind €300..

Parents must have upped your pocket money a fair bit during the league run-in..

That's very cryptic. I wonder if he's referring to Carragher and his post match analysis, he (rightly) criticised Johnson a few times.

Johnson was shocking 2nd half.

He can't have any complaints about criticism

SlickRic

Johnson deserves any criticism he gets.

he attacks seemingly with the hand break on, and he has no conviction in defence at all.

I can't wait for a new RB, or LB with Flanno moving over.

Hopefully he gets lost on the road back down, alternatively Martinez can have him back.

I think if City blow this now, the internet will melt.

Boards will anyway!

I feel for Suarez, clearly heartbroken. To be honest, I was hoping Rodgers would sub him instead of Danny. I think one of the reasons we didn't win tonight and failed to break down Chelsea is that Suarez is simply running on fumes at this stage. Have we given him a break since January?

I know defense is to blame, but Suarez missed a couple of chances tonight that he would normally put away with ease.

Ah he's class. Good for 20 goals. Have 'em back :pac:

All we need now is city to draw with a minus 9 goal difference against villa.

Realistically, it was just the last 15 mins. Seemed dead on his feet as much as anything afterwards.

Lucas was caught flat footed far too often in that last period too, and really, the whole team just collapsed.

Don't think I can stomach watching it again and analysing it properly though.

Did I see a banner or a pic something today saying "This Must be the Place is a tune" or similar?

That game might have sent me over the edge.

Here lads, remember at the start of the season when we thought we'd be lucky to scrape 4th-5th.

Dunno actually. I just really like the tune and am trying to gather my thoughts and sanity right now and Talking Heads are usually a good solid anchor in a storm.

No wonder a lot of non LFC fans have a very low opinion of LFC fans, the carry on of some of them tonight is shocking

Being where we are, automatically qualified for the Champions League and still in with a small chance of outright winning the league going into the last day is unreal and is far exceeding of my preseason expectations. Rodgers has done this with a tiny squad and mostly with the same squad as last year that finished 7th (most of last summers signings have had little impact when you think about it, eg Moses, Albero, Aspas,). He has improved both the performances of the team and the tactical approach immensely since last year too. Jumping 5 places in the table is quite a feat and nothing is out of the question with next year. Sure City and Chelsea will strengthen and their managers will settle more etc., but LFC will also strengthen and they have one of the best managers in the League playing quality football and scoring non stop. Defensive reinforcements will help the cause too.

Sure we may have missed out this year but there's always next, all the negativity will get us nowhere. Lets be happy with what we have and look forward to enjoyable Tuesday and Wednesday nights next year

Sorry but if you want to improve then you have to be critical, it was schoolboy stuff tonight and that's not acceptable

I'm in bits. I want to hang around for the end of the season and I'm on 2 yellows so I better not post anything.

Just sorta thinking out loud...sorry...I'm gutted.

murpho999

Absolutely gutted by tonight's outcome but once we let one in then I feared that we'd fold.

It's been a weakness all season, Norwich, West Brom , Swansea, City etc all came back at us.

I hope this hurt that the club is feeling now is turned into a steep learning curve for the club, players and manager.

Club need to back Rodgers with serious funds for quality 1st team players in the summer. Signing like Aspas, Moses and Alberto will destroy us next season.

Rodgers needs to be more flexible in his tactics. We can't be going ho all the time. Newcastle tried that in the 90's and won fúck all.
Also teams will know how to play us next season and will stifle us so have to have more than one tactic and when in Europe away goals will kill us too so we have to concede less.

That said, we have had a great season and achieved way more than expected.
I love watching Liverpool play again.
Despite tonight being a major let down I comfort myself by thinking that Utd fans are probably crowing most tonight which shows we are more relevant now and they're not. Also they're not in the Champion's league any more and we have taken their place. I would have been in dreamland if I'd been told that at the start of the season.

In the summer get rid of Lucas and every defender bar skrtle. It needs to be fixed

Flanagan to go to World Cup instead of Johnson? What ye think

If villa win Wednesday i know I'm only hoping but there is some super threads here I will strike upon with fire and furious vengeance. Please villa do us 1 favour

Was feeling same myself but got a fairly sobering phone call 20 minutes or so ago.

It's just a game lads, life goes on.

Instead of that as we should keep Flanagan, should we not appoint a defensive coach as I don't think we have one, but I'm open to correction on that.

I don't think Sakho did anything wrong tonight. Skrtel was just clueless for their third goal. He scored some great goals this year but he's always a liable to do something incredibly stupid. The biggest criticism I have with Sakho is how he is on the ball, for a defender that's not to bad.

I've had enough of Johnson. He's been so laboured in both defense and attack all season. Would love to get Coleman in instead.

Imo West Ham have the greater chance of an upset tbh. Villa are useless.

Big Sam would relish it

PhiloCypher

I'm probably/definately clutching at straws here but I still think City will drop points, they'll have a lot of players on international duty over the summer players who somewhere in the back of their mind wont want to risk injuring themselves by throwing themselves into tackles this close to the WC . I just worry Rodgers wont be able to pick the players up after todays match to capitalise if it happens.

Skrtel has been one of our best players this season. I can forgive him that one mistake (where was the midfield who were supposed to be protecting him?) as he has been immense for the most part.

That's the thing though, it's not just one mistake. It makes them a lot, he's been very fortunate he hasn't been punished for them.
