Excellent result last night. That's been coming the last few games. Difference was last night we finished our chances.

Rodgers deserves credit for playing to our strengths.

Impressed with how composed Lallana is in front of goal.

Living and dying by the players he signs. Thankfully, a few of them seem to be coming good in the past few weeks.

Really like Lallana personally but Markovic seems to be showing a little something too, finally!

Team appears to be building in a confidence a little now and I desperately hope that we can maintain the momentum for Sturridge becoming available again.

I really don't see the hype in Berahino, earlier in the season he was at least scoring a few albeit a good few pens, but the last few weeks he's done nothing of note and has been in and out of the WBA team, if we sign him for £20m plus I will to put it mildly not be a happy camper. If I had a choice of taking a striker from the PL who'd be a realistic signing then I'd be leaning towards Benteke, I'd rate him higher than say Bony, Lukaku etc etc..

Sturridge, Benteke, Origi would be a tasty little threesome for next season for starters anyway, one more with them would be nice and very much needed with Studges injury woes.

My initial post was asking had those who had been slating Rodgers (and there had been plenty) over the last few weeks been on lately giving him any bit of credit. There are plenty of posts im sure youl find of various posters slagging him off. The "Dickhead statement" stuck in my mind as I remember posting how poor some of our fans are.

I actually had more to my post but then when I was essentially called out for making stuff up, I'm going to back anything I say up. Quite funny how you want to suit your own little post there.

Also tiresome.

I was fuming with Rodgers a few weeks ago, anyone who wasn't is either not an LFC fan or has no football knowledge. He has started to play the right players in their right slots and perhaps he was waiting for this run of games to start putting this new formation into practice, but his deficit of urgency has cost us points already. Without going into the striker debacle or the lack of defensive cohesion this season, it was the lack of appetite to address glaring personnel/formation problems which galled me.

So I wont be rushing to praise him just yet, and I'm a fan of the Rodgers.

Just shows what playing players consistently does. New signings take time to settle too.

The way we are set up now means both Lallana and Coutinho can both play which is great, two really good footballers.

An injury prone player, another player who had a bad injury recently and a young player who is completely unproven.

I'd be livid if we started with only that trio next season tbh.

Well, yeah I did say we'd need another one in to account for Sturridges potential injuries, who would you like to see us sign then?

Yes, I have been dragged down to that level in tit for tat responses because there is a core of posters who gang up on me the whole time, if the option was removed we wouldn't have that, like I said the place would be better for it..

I was going to leave it because it's derailing the thread and annoying other posters and that's not my intention but I can't let this slide...

The bolded part is rubbish. If you're feeling bullied,and I've seen no evidence of it then report it. Otherwise stop talking crap. The only posters I see getting ganged up on are Alan and Lloyd. But you know this because you're part of the gang that does it.

So any one who doesn't share your views is either not an LFC fan or knows nothing about football. Classy!

Lallana is almost deceptively superb.

he's not fast, and not particularly strong, but he's so intelligent that he seems to have more time than other players.

for me, he's now one of the first name on the teamsheet.

You saw no evidence of anyone Calling BR a dickhead and called another poster a liar because of it., so it may have also slipped your attention about how I get ganged up on. I don't report people, not my style. Try talking about football will you? Stop butting in on stuff I post the whole time, you started this shyt today by having a hissy fit over an innocent comment I made.

Cavani is not very realistic IMHO

Lacazette I know nothing about him apart from what I read on here, have you seen many of his games, what type of player would he be, who's comparable in the PL?

Depay and Shaquiri are not strikers

Bony is good but I'd prefer Benteke purely because he has pace to burn and wouldn't be heading off to play any ACON football.

joe123

Ive started to see a few posts crop uonon twitter and the like asking "do we need to strengthen in Jan".

A setback/another injury to Sturridge and it means we continue to rely on Sterling to stay fit /keep form. If we dont go all out to try and bring in a striker in January it could make or break our a season.

Likewise with Mignolet. Its clear at this stage hes not good enough and we need another goalkeeper.

Balotelli may offer something once Sturridge is fit but thats a luxury we can't really afford and Lambert I simply feel is not good enough.

Lacazette is pretty much like Sturridge, fast, strong, good finisher and can play right across the front three. Perfect to play ahead of our midfielders. And could play on his own up front when Sturridge is injured and we would not have to alter the style of play.

So Shelvey is being charged with violent contact.

5starpool

I figured Sterling would be ok since the officials surely had to see the incident, so that's good news. I'm sure some people will be outraged though.

klose

Delighted to see shelvey get done for the elbow, the only player ive had less time for at liverpool in recent years is probably moses. Manager tells him to buck and get his head down and work and only went off and did what he done. Such an impetuous player.

kevohmsford

Cheeky bid for Saido Berahino seeing as they have lost their manager Alan Irvine.
The guy is a decent young striker but 23Million is way too much.

The thing as well is, Sterling should have sent off no doubt, but not every red card not given is retrospectively punished. He probably still should have, but Shelvey, like Cisse the other day, could have injured the player. Sterling's was just a bitch slap.

You could get Benteke for the same or less.

I'd rather overpay for him than flash-in-the-pan-ahino.

Sterling won't be charged according to some dude from the telegraph

Faux outrage should be immense.

Good decision from the FA. Common sense prevails

Turned the corner I think. Playing without a striker seems to have done the trick.

I think after the Palace game a corner was turned, the Utd game has been the only PL bad result since than and as mentioned by many at the time Rodgers can't legislate for poor finishing and the opposition having a keeper in really outstanding form. The result was not reflective of the performance.

Kerrigooney wrote: »

............. The only posters I see getting ganged up on are Alan and Lloyd........

I don't see them getting ganged up on, I see them as regularly posting the most negative and blinkered views, fair enough as that seems to be their opinion but post sh1te and you'll be called up on it.

One of them was posting for a while seeming 100% sure that Rodgers was a goner in January, complete looney tunes stuff.

They both kick the boot in when they can and seem to relish bad results so they can push on with posting rubbish.

The "dickhead" & "degenerate" comments towards Brendan Rodgers warranted bans imo and any fan coming out with that sort of sh1te towards a manager who is clearly talented should be rightly called up on it, call that being ganged up on if you like.

Oh for faux sake...



Tbf, though, he did raise his hand and strike a player. I think it warranted some action, a warning at least, but a ban would have been harsh for something my 4 yo would do a better job of:D

We were due some goodwill from the FA after being screwed over numerous times with 'Louie'.

Grayditch

Ha, he deffo should have been done for that. Glad he's not' obviously.

Mr Alan

He should deffo have been sent off.

But he shouldn't be retrospectively punished today.

Right call by the FA/wrong call by the officials last night.

Yeah proper order too mate, he's an Engerland INTER-NATION-AL mate, innit?

In fairness though he is not the type to get into much bother and never gives abuse to refs so I can see why they would use their discretion to overlook a moment of impetuous behaviour.

Not picking on u monkey, but have we lost the run of ourselves, or wtf planet are we on when a little push a LA sterling is a red card 'no doubt '. What sort of a sport has been created when lads are demanding reds for something that was never a strike, violent nor dangerous in any way, shape or form. A ref gives benteke a ridiculous red a few weeks ago and suddenly that is the benchmark.
We need to cop the fcuk on and man up.

Dont forget he nearly killed Valencia playing for England and gave Howard Webb a dig ;-)

Ibe got MOTM on Sky too. He should be getting minutes for us next season I would think.

Just seen on Liverpoolhistory.net that Lovren is due back in 2 days and Allen and Sturridge in 2 weeks. I don't know how accurate that is or what other sites say?
