Liverpool vs Basel - 7:45 - TV3

citytillidie

K Brendan has lost the plot

Benimar

Need 2 goals, play with no strikers..Seriously??

mada999

never a yellow....

duffman13

They need to win, so strange, where's Lallana and Coutinho, surely your best chance to nick something! Stevie G up top? If this pays off Rodgers will get kudos but head scratching subs IMO

mada999

ok maybe a bit so

Broken record time but its all about the signings. Mad how Rodgers spoke of doing a Spurs yet it is clear that Spurs, despite being laughed at for wasting their Bale money, have spent much better than Liverpool

Last year after they spent the Bale money they were as crap as we are now. They picked up in the 2nd half of last year and they are not doing great this year (level with us)

They say there's only two certainties in life; death and taxes.

They forgot about the third; a yellow card for Lucas.

emo72

we've nothing to lose. try marko, theres no pressure.

thelad95

5 minutes of increased intensity before Basel regain control.

Pyjamarama

Odd subs but we brought on pace. We needed pace.

People slated Enrique, rodgers does something about it and gets slated...

Is Rodgers actually losing the plot in front of our eyes here?

I dont think there was too much plot to lose. Rodgers is a spoofer fuelled last season by Suarez. If it makes you feel better i was duped too

I suspect he too will be a different beast without Suarez beside him causing havoc.

I suspect you are wrong, Sturridge's scoring record as a striker suggests the same

Anyway, two goals scored and none conceded over the next 45 mins and we are flying

DDC1990

Need a goal... take off the only striker.

I think the players they bought are better players and more suited to how they play. Not that i think they are great. And your point is valid

Yep. Brief huff and puff before it's back to the same old crap again. Basel will then score after 71 mins to end the game.

DDC1990

Basel fans unveiled a banner supporting Justice for the 96 at HT according to TV3.

Fair play to them. Touch of class.

colly10

Great start from markovic

super_furry

This is great. Rodgers brings on two wide men with no strikers on the pitch, what could possibly go wrong?

duffman13

Basel looking a bit tanked already. Already dropping off and stopped pressing!

brevity

I mean, Sterling and Moreno, probably Marcovic too, can deliver a decent cross into the box. Lambert is good in the air...just makes no sense?!

Sure completely disregard the fact that Rodgers lead us to the champions league. This is really poor stuff and not very surprising but he deserves a lot more than a few months to turn it around.

All the rival fans weren't saying they hope he stayed on last year. I still have faith in him but there's a big job there.

Rodgers deserves criticism for tonight. When I saw the team line up, it was obvious this would be turgid.

I'm not calling for him to be sacked, he did get us here and he's a young manager learning all the time. But I can't lie at what I see

ardinn

This is somehow better

SlickRic

I can't believe we don't have Lallana or Coutinho on the field right now.

100% agree. It was targeted to all of those calling for his head immediately.

kingshankly

Jesus sterling learn how to cross a ball you clown

Chucky the tree

Can always really on Skrtel to give away about 5 dumb and needless fouls every game.

super_furry

Allen has to come off.

livinginkorea

Ah come one lads, hit the target

ThunbergsAreGo

Mrkovic has done more in 10 mins then in 4 months

DDC1990

Markovic showing a bit of class for the first time that i've seen.

Pity there is no striker to finish his chances.

murpho999

Have to say that Markovic has had a positive impact so far.

Rayne Wooney

It's way too early for Basel to try hold the lead

They could have scored 1 or 2 more playing like they did first half

As a United fan i see your Alexis Sanchis and raise you a Ronaldinho in 2004

mav79

We need to get Couthino on for Gerrard, but can't see Rodgers making that call after using two subs.

Username exists

Absolutely useless

Ulysses Gaze

May as well get Coutinho on and run at Basel now.

"Sterling can deliver a decent cross "
Not tonight he can't

DDC1990

Lucas gets a yellow for a challenge like that, but its not ever a free for Liverpool.

Lovely run, unlucky there

emo72

is the stadium full of Basle supporters tonight?

passremarkable

id hook stevie off

thelad95

Basel, at best are Tottenhams standard yet they're being made to look like Real Madrid tonight.

mada999

ffs....................

Mr_Red

lol

ardinn

Oh FFS!!

5starpool

That is indeed that.

super_furry

That's about that then.

DDC1990

Fúck off!
