Listening to the Sunday Supplement this moring I don't know which one of them said but he hinted that Gerrard and Rodgers don't get on at all.

If Rodgers was to get the sack I would imagine Gerrard would put his name forward for the mangers job if the likes of AVB were in the running for it as well.

If it came to it I could get on board with Gerrard as Player / Manager

Martin Ödegaard is training at Arsenal next week. Is he looking for a club or is he having a holiday?

He has already trained with Bayern and Madrid as well.

He is right and who ever is looking after him is right to do it this way instead of taking the biggest offer.

Look for the club that will give him the best chance to progress.

No way can I choose between beating Basel or United and at the moment the way it looks we'd be lucky to get anything from either.

Next weeks game with United is a lot more than a 6 pointer for us imo as if we could win it would give us a huge much needed confidence boost and maybe put us on a long run of form.
Our new players will never show the quality they have while playing in a team playing as we are at the moment.

Jesus christ... we don't have the money they do!! How can people not get this... we can't afford the wages.

So what is it I'm not getting. Moreno, Markovich and Ballotelli all cost just under 60 million. It seems we do have the money, we just don't know how to spend it.

He has never come across as fully tactically aware as a player. I wouldn't want him becoming coach for a number of years until he'd gained lots of experience.

Let's nip this in the bud now, in no way whatsoever should Steven Gerrard become Liverpool manager. That's a ridiculous suggestion.

He'll probably end up injured.

I don't use twitter but I'd say some clown on there has already suggested it.

SlickRic

I'd kill for Benteke and/or Bony.

Agent Coulson

The Belguim strike force Benteke & Origi next season to go with Sturridge & Lambert.

That looks like a good front 4 to have and Lambert really would be 4th not 1st as he is this season.

brevity

If Rodgers is sacked, then I don't want another manager who's learning on the job. We need experience, someone who has won trophies.

We also need to revisit our transfer policy. This attitude of not spending on wages is getting us no where.

I'd say he is going to come in at January.

I can't see us having 20 or 30m sterling to spend, and as someone pointed out earlier, we're still being investigated by the FFP people.

Probably be something ridiculous like Origi for Borini.

Two goals versus one.

Getting a Leicester player sent off in a game we were struggling in.

His contribution to Johnson's goal last week.


All that in about 25%/33% of the gametime.

It isn't an opinion, it's what has happened this season.

Its what happened when Rodgers tweeked our style of play and personell .

Not comparing like with like.

Has there been a post or newspaper article explaining why Liverpool should have kept Andy Carroll, yet?

Benteke isn't great when it comes to injuries either.

So we will end up buying him then at an overinflated price

It would be hilarious to see how bad he'd be. This is the player who spent his best seasons pining to be a central midfielder when at his best playing wide right or as a number 10.

Bit strange laughing at the thought of Gerrard as a manager when he is still a player and isn't doing any coaching whatsoever. He may never even manage any team let alone Liverpool.

Very weird stick to beat him with.

Anyone saying they would get behind his appointment is doing so purely out of sentimentality.

I look forward to a good laugh when Giggs gets the United job....Liverpool better not ruin this for me by appointing Gerrard first.

According to reports, De Boer was offered the chance to interview for the Liverpool job but turned it down to remain with Ajax. "I am honoured by the request [from Liverpool] but I have only just started with Ajax," he said.

I wonder would FSG go back for De Boer if they do sack Rodgers?

Don't really understand why people are speculating still abput his potential replacement. He has until the end of the season minimum but, unless things improve, he'll propbably have to draw up another PowerPoint presentation for next season. Deserves more time for sure.

Crash to Basel and United which is very possible and it's Arsenal next with the pressure really mounting. I think he'll make it til the end of the season but at the moment the performances are so bad that it's hard to see any kind of turn around on the horizon.

Lucas doing well for himself

More Lucas love:


Last two games:
Tackles attempted - 15
Tackles won - 14

We have Mignnolet and Lovern who are Belgian and are poor. And now we want Benteke (whos out of form).

No Thanks.

The lineup I'd like to see for Tuesday:

Migs

Johnson Skrtel Toure Moreno

Lucas

Henderson Lallana

Sterling

Borini Lambert

Gerrard on for Lallana.

Obviously not going to happen but you can always dream.

As long as he doesn't start in the DM position that's fine.

klose

Yeah gerrard will play off the striker id imagine, id like to see borini or sterling get a run or perhaps both as the striker/s whilst lambert has done a job he has played a lot of the glames the last couple of weeks and was ineffective on saturday.

Has a goal and an assist in his last two games and has only played 6 times this season coming off a long term injury.

Only for a fantastic save by Schmeichel he'd have gotten another one this afternoon. He has shown no ill effects of the injury as demonstrated against Palace.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgQYmaW7VkA

30 goals in 65 games playing for Villa for a 24 year old is a good return imo.

He'd add much needed power and pace to our front line and will bully most opposition defenders.

Pyjamarama

If anyone wouldn't want Benteke they're mental. He's an amazing player.

Agent Coulson

I would want Benteke over Berahino that for sure.

That can't be right surely, he has played well obviously but he made a load of fouls in both games, dodged yellows luckily too IIRC.

As a striker over both. Rooney might be a little better in that role atm but Benteke is a lot younger. And isn't as detestable.

It doesn't count fouls. I suppose fouls aren't always tackles so maybe that's why.

mikeym

We should get Van Diijk from Celtic hes playing a blinder and hes not goal shy either.

He would fit in well at Liverpool and hes too good for the Scottish League.

Hmmmm, nah I still wanna call bs on that stat I'm afraid!

As well as the pass completion stat earlier on, I mean Mikel was leading the stats so what does that say? Easy to pass 5 yarders square all day.

Again I'm not dissing Lucas but let's not get carried away here lads, he's been slighty above average in a team of underperformers

Andy Carroll's performances on MOTD the last 2 weeks have been better than his entire time at Liverpool.
