Lucas... Dark horse for the captaincy!

J Mysterio

**** sake - leg breaker

I hope Coutinho is going to tell Sterling how he improved his finishing.

Pepp1989

Sterlings technique leaves him down far too often. Something I hope he is working on. I know consistency comes with age but it isn't have frustrating to watch.

sweetie

Some clever set pieces tonight. Sterling is lfcs Andy Cole!

Has to stay fit though. That wad a disgraceful tackle on him, hope hes ok.

I'd love for Rickie to get his goal in front of the Kop.

Sterling in tomorrows paper for sniffing nitrous oxide (laughing gas).

It's legal so not sure what will happen. Slap on the wrists.

I'll give you a guess what paper obtained the video

Harry Palmr

No love for the match thread?

He's not getting away with murder imo. His ineptitude has been called out on here. Some people just don't want to hear it because they're resolved to defending certain signings to the death for whatever reason.

Yeah, I've never been overly convinced.

He's been very average overall

Agent Coulson

All these things being leaked to the press are an attempt to get out of the club would be my guess.

Turtyturd

First league win since the back to back defeats?

Harry Palmr

Sissoko really ought to have been straight red, shocking. I'd buy him though. Stick him in a better disciplined side (*cough* Skrtel, Can, Gerrard *cough*) and I think he'd thrive. Could be a cut price alternative to a few names being bandied about.

Boom_Bap

For someone who is demanding 654,399 a week, 61% shareholding of the club and a palace on the summit of K2, you'd expect him to have a better left peg.

I would love to see him signed along with/instead of Milner.

Nice handy win ahead of the villa game, clean sheet too.

Meanwhile, Sterling's getting off his head on laughing gas

Potential Underachiever

Comfortable win in the end, played some lovely stuff in patches.

A recurring theme with Sterlings performance a lot of snap and crackle but very little pop, he can't seem to execute that final pass or shot regularly enough.

spiritcrusher

Good guy Joe.

Harry Palmr

Parp Parp Parp!

Allen became the 18th different player to score for Liverpool, equalling the club record.

MD1990

Moreno is in a bad run of form. Im convinced he will come good he is a good player.

Osmosis Jones

Mignolet is now in the lead for the Golden Glove with 12 clean sheets.

BorneTobyWilde

West Ham have drawn 3 out of last 6 away.
But they have nothing to play for
Like a busker on an empty street

Pyjamarama

Moreno hasn't been great defensively but did people expect much more? It takes experience for a fullback to get there. His pace gives us great options going forward.

No wonder Sterling is pissed about wages when he sees players like Lovren, Balotelli, Lallana, Borini, Lambert, Enrique & Johnson all on double or more than him some are sick notes some never get picked some are just crap.


He plays week in week out and even if he wasn't as good as he is he deserves to be better paid then all of the above.

This...doesn't make any sense. The only reason he's not getting paid more than the above is because he actively choose not to sign a contract giving him much more than all of them (with the possible exception of Johnson, who we're not really sure about, but who will also be gone asap).

I've always been a fan of Sterling, but since the wage demands i've started looking at him with the same expectation I would have of someone on those wages - a Suarez, a Sanchez, a Hazard (prior to 2 months ago).
He's just not on that level yet. Someone on that money needs to do almost everything right, almost all of the time. He's exciting, and direct, but still quite rough. We saw both sides of him very clearly today, and he's had plenty far worse performances.

Coutinho imo is far far closer to the finished article. And Sturridge got his deal on the back of 18 months of doing what I said above - doing the right things at the right times far more often than not, with a frankly incredible goalscoring record.

This year, with a little more pressure and impetus on Sterling to shoulder the burden of attacking, he's well short of anything Sturridge or Suarez have achieved. He needs to score more, and he needs to assist more before he can be talked about as a 150 to 200k a week player. Thats a deal he should be looking for when he's 23 on the back of 2 or 3 more seasons of getting 15 goals and 10 assists per year.

The turnaround in mignolet is just amazing. He's so commanding and confident now.

Lovren is a disaster. We stand to loose so much on him if we sold him I'm almost certain he will still be here next season so maybe he can have a future yet.

I pray the club go out and buy 2 decent strikers in the summer that game could of been over in 20 minutes tonight.

BorneTobyWilde

Lovren will come good
Just needs a run in team
A run where he is commanding
Confidence will return

Charlie19

So Allen wasn't plan b after spurs got Sigurson, Carragher said when he first spoke to Rodgers, that Allen was first on his shopping list.

I dunno you'd get away with stripping off and jamming out One Night In Bangkok, and that's dangerous in its own way.

noodler

Only realised 5 of the last 7 league games are away.

Pyjamarama

One moment really summed up Lovern tonight, and it was When he made that sliding interception. Instead of jumping up and pushing the other 3 forward to squeeze the pitch he just gets up and puts his hands on his hips still looking guilty... He's supposed to be our leader back there. Very tough to see him turning it around.

I dunno about anyone else but when a shot is fired at Mig I always expect him to save it. Even when he doesn't.

Obviously hindsight is easy but Liverpool should have just paid Lille enough to release Origi last summer,sure there would be some learning on the job but we could really do with his goals and I'm sure he'd have a dozen in this team without any trouble.

Ya he is so nervous and timid. That's confidence its got nothing to do with who protects him in midfield as was alluded to earlier in the season.

He's a proper Brazilian. Such a humble lad too and recognises he has so much potential to fill still at Liverpool.

so fa cup semi final and 4 pts behind city. Things not quite as bleak as they were after the arsenal game.

Fair play to Neville for his comments about Sterling, you could feel Carra's eyes boring into his shivering Manky soul as he added "Sterling is at the right club to get his feet back on the ground". topbantzanall

Yeah he has the right blend of skill and stubborn work ethic to be a bright star for us. Looks so confident in every moment of possession, sometimes needs to give the obvious ball but a real gem and scoring too.

No, it's on BT Sport 1. BBC are showing the the Arsenal v Reading game.
