Rodgers has let the team and fans down by not playing Borini.

Borini had a half hour to make a point and show what he can do.

He showed plenty of zip and movement but also showed petulance with his ott reaction in not receiving a throw in.

I wouldn't give up on him just yet.

Mr Alan

Rodgers talking himself up in the interview, 'being creative as a coach to utilise best players', **** off. Saying we were better today than the same game last year. ****ing cringeworthy stuff.

I don't see why Borini should give a **** on the pitch when his Liverpool career was finished weeks ago by Rodgers.

lol, good luck mate.

I'd have him. But Rodgers trying to be the big man has ended Borinis career weeks and weeks ago.

Not going to get too down about this result. Usually a team improves as a whole when you're without your star players and that's shown today. We should be able to grind out a few wins before Sturridge is back fit, and then we should be a feared side again. Only negatives today were defensively, but when Brendan settles on a back four, we should improve there too.

Now for pints.

Weird comment for him to make.

The commentators on my American stream said the pitch looked awful early in the first half.

I think the stuff you come out with is just as cringy if I'm honest.

Easily offers more than Lambert. What did Lambert do today? What did Borini do? Borini had a shot on target at least in the few minutes he was on. Lambert couldn't even win a few headers from long balls.

They are both poor and not good enough for Liverpool football club.

Apart from Monreal. Arsenal had very few chances. Would be great if u had something positive to say rather than be negative or sarcastic all the time. You talk more about Rodgers & his interviews than the actual match.

The worst thing 'The Rodgers' did today was end up with Sterling playing at the back after he messed up the whole formation because he refused to take Gerrard off.

The system that's been used for the past few games definitely looks promising anyway, I look forward to hopefully seeing something like this in a few weeks time.

Lovren needs keeping on the sidelines - Flanagan would be more secure I'd say.

Anfield is in need of a new watering system, its old and not up to snuff. Presumably this will be dealt with over the summer.

Ive said a few times that our attacking play other than the final ball was much improved & like at Utd last week we played with much more fluidity than we have for most of the season.

That's positive.

Saying that we are still so poor at the back & our final ball was poor is negative.

Overall it was a poor performance against a side we brushed aside with ease last year.

That's very balanced.

But some people have no interest in 'balance', only pretending that everything is on the up. It's not.

Very strange that it didn't seem to impact on passing on the deck today if it's so poor.

Degenerate? We really are the worst fans in the world.

Whats the point in arguing over a post match comment? They're routine exercises for managers, they rarely say anything worth noting.

Unfortunately PL loans cannot be recalled, Wisdom and Ilori need bringing into the squad for next season - Skrtel will probably be gone, Kolo a year older.

Really like the way Liverpool are approaching things the last few games. Rodgers is up for the battle.

It was not a poor performance, and you know it. The fact we brushed them aside last year has no bearing on it either.

Fantastic post - you have spoken the truth my friend.

What the hell has happened to our club, now I am watching matches not expecting to win.

We were **** & the back, poor final ball, but it was a good performance?

Demosthenese

Great performance, was delighted with the way we closed them down, the front lads worked their socks off and left everything on the pitch. The pressuring from Coutinho was finally back to where he was last season. Very happy. Would have been sick if we'd lost that game.

Been saying it a while now but you do not need to be 50million to run your backside off and show pride in the shirt.

Rodgers finally showing he can get the a better performance from his players ...

At least there a few people on here not conditioned to failure.

I'm actually very upbeat after that game. Liverpool have a good little squad there if they could only learn to defend.

I saw the first half and the intensity of the performance was much improved. Hunting down players in groups of 2 where possible, not allowing arsenal relax. But, our final ball was awful and our defending was atrocious. A better try, yes but not a good overall performance. Improved over recent tripe.

Good to see not everyone here is a nutcase

All I kept thinking during that game against a woeful Arsenal was if we had a decent manager the game would have been done & dusted by HT.

Utopia Parkway

Liverpool were good today albeit with the usual couple of instances of poor defending that seem to be there every game. But if Liverpool played like that every game they would win a lot more than they would lose. Especially with a proper striker up front.

I have no problem knocking them when are rubbish but you have to give some credit when it's due.

By the way is it not a bit out of order to be calling the manager a degenerate? A word more usually associated with murderers and rapists.

Royal Legend

At least Bren blames the pitch, Hodgson (name erased from Liverpool history) used to blame the fans :rolleyes:

PhiloCypher

I'm frustrated beyond belief at our inability to defend a lead or to turn our dominance into goals . But hugely encouraged by the pressing and chances we've created in the last few games. Once we get Sturridge back we'll be winning these games. Will it be enough to get us back into CL positions. Probably not. But to deny that was not an improved performance (albeit not result) over the ****e we've been had to witness this season is comical Ali territory.

Who bought Lambert & Ballotelli? Who refused to start any strikers today? Who has wasted around £100 million last summer? Yup that clueless buffoon who hopefully will be gone before the January transfer window opens.

theoneeyedman

2 points dropped against an arsenal team off the pace and not at the races. No threat up front, no security at the back, 3 arsenal shots hit the target and 2 goals conceded. Arsenal set up just like United last week, sat back, knew there was no scoring power and that eventually Liverpool would cough up the chances that would allow them to score.
It's hard to argue that The Rodgers knows where he is going based on recent weeks. He is fumbling around in the dark, hoping for the best. Witness the Borini treatment, frozen out in recent weeks (skertl preferred to him in CL game) and now is the go to man when a goal down v arsenal. Markovich (who did OK today) at LWB to Can who is a left sided player and has played there, and don't get me started on Ryan Turbidy in goals. It all points to a manager either clueless, or acting the bollix with the transfer committee to point out weaknesses in his squad. I dunno which is worse.

Alberto just scored for Malaga as soon as he came on. Class finish.

Question, you always maintained the improvement of Rodgers' team was always clear & you'd continue to support him as long as it was clear we were going in the right direction.....

You've been very quiet this season....surely the above should mean you're done with Rodgers?

He must have started a new job just like you last season when you were very quiet yourself.

Turtyturd

Hopefully Malaga will stump up the cash for him.

Genuine question , who else was there to play ?

Neville nailed it in his commentary imo. you don't have to play good football to score against Liverpool.

And whats worse is that the team some people are saying should start (ie lovren, manquillo, moreno, etc) aren't good enough either. He has bought badly, no doubt about that, based on what he had to spend. One or two MIGHT make it but at the minute NONE of them have imo (Lallana possible exception).

Who here can honestly say they would put a large bet on us to beat Burnley away next week at evens or worse?? I know I wouldn't and that says it all for me.
