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

Funny as I didn't get that vibe at all. They respect each other and Neville has always been fair about his comments about Liverpool.
Also seen Utd fans on Boards claiming Carra is only good when not taking about Liverpool but I don't see that either.
Players and pundits have a different mentality than fans.

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

Pessimistic hat activate :

Four of last six away with one being a bankable loss at the bridge. Struggle for fifth in all honesty.

Then a nice whooping to Arsenal in the FA Cup final.

I don't read these trash stories so I am slightly at a loss as to how these pictures end up in the rags. Is Sterling down with the hobos or at a private house/club? Is he completely naive or is he stirring it deliberately?

I'm guessing he can't bring himself to bite someone in order to force a move so this is the best he can think of..

Yeah in fairness he is usually spot on and seems to go to excruciating lengths to be seen to fair, can get a bit ponderous but I'd sooner have them 2 over our looney bin commentators on rte.

Not Liverpool related but....

Has anyone noticed /thought the media treatment of John Carver compared to Pellegrini in the last few days has been noticeable?

OK, probably overly using sky as a reference point but columns today, and indeed commentary during the Liverpool game, are very much poor Carver and he hasn't been given money etc - no mention of the sack or even contemplating that he won't be there next season.

Meanwhile the talk about Pellegrini is all about him being sacked, some deadwood talk as well, but I was wondering was it an English thing.

The two scenarios are no way comparable. One manages the pl champions the other is a caretaker manager for a pretty irrelevant team.

It might be as simple as him having a laugh, letting off steam, playing to the crowd... The transfer stuff is perhaps less than fun for him.

Grayditch

While Sterling's goal was fantastic, his wastefulness proves Liverpool will be still paying dearly for potential. He is far from being a finished article and not worth what he's reportedly asking BUT we also can't afford to let him go. Also I haven't a huge amount of faith in the signings that his fee would allow.

Lol, are you serious?

First half hour Liverpool were excellent, loads of movement off the ball and some great passes to create chances, should have really been game over by half time but poor finishing let us down, there were no goalscorers on that pitch at all tonight. Beginning of the second half Liverpool looked rattled, Newcastle got in our face and everyone looked very shaky for about 20 mins or so, once the second goal went in it was game over. Lovren is brutal, sickens me that we paid £20m for him because the way he's played this season we would be lucky to get a quarter of that back for him, he should have been a very important signing but he looks like a complete waste of money at the moment, our worst signing since Andy Carroll. Moreno has been dodgy at times but at least he has shown signs of being good, thought he done okay tonight apart from about 20 mins or so where he looked like a nervous wreck, only a young lad and has played a lot of games this season so don't think we should be too harsh on him. I will be happy to see the back of Johnson, once upon a time I thought he was a very good player for us but every time I see him play now he gets worse and worse.

Mignolets turn around has been sensational, clearly a psychological thing but I don't think I've ever seen such an extreme turnaround (and back again) in such a short space of time. Glad he has got it back together and would be great to see him win the golden glove this year. Coutinho is a magician, has always shown glimpses of genius but the glimpses are becoming more frequent now and he is quickly becoming the star of the show whenever we play well. Henderson also played well tonight I thought.

As for Raheem Sterling, should have had a hat trick tonight but looked our most threatening player on the pitch and caused a lot of problems for Newcastle. I think we should just pay him the money and get it over with. If we end up selling him I would almost guarantee that we will not sign a player of his quality to replace him, our track record in the transfer market is terrible and I'd rather pay him an extra few grand a week than take a gamble on some other player who probably won't turn out as good, at least we know Sterling is good, fair enough he is not in the same bracket as the likes of Sanchez, Hazard, Suarez etc yet but we're not going to sign someone in that bracket, I genuinely think Sterling is the best we can hope for.

5th place and an FA cup final would be a success in my books considering how bad we were before christmas. A big summer at Liverpool this year but I've been saying that for probably the past five summers, a forward, a centre midfielder and a right back all on the priority list, with the way transfers have gone in the past few years I'd say the exact same three positions will still be priority signings the following summer again, I have absolutely no faith in this club to sign the correct players anymore.

The chance he put wide actually made me giggle a small bit. He had so much time, that he was probably thinking about how much a second goal would benefit Mr. Sterling.

He didn't celebrate his goal naturally with his teammates, he was more concerned about running towards the crowd and showing them who's boss.

He's young and hopefuly this blows over and he becomes a Liverpool great, because he definitely has the potential.

There just seems to be alot of sympathy for Carver from the old pros in the media depsite the massive discrepancies in the managerial skills of the two men as you say.

Sold him out for a few hundred quid I'd say.

I know Sterling needs to be smarter. He should stop stupid stuff and then surround himself with better people. I obviously dont know who his mates are or if they actually leaked the vid so I might be wronging them but seems highly likely.

The Media have a horn for him lately and everything he does will be scrutinised on and off the field.

If you are even an acquaintance of Sterling, I'd be shocked if you would risk all the other indirect benefits (parties, womenz, free booze, tickets etc) for a couple of hundred quid!

I'd say one of them stupidly shared it on whatsapp or something in a group..but thats an awful lot of speculation on my part based on practically nothing!

I was joining in on the 'agent is a knob' angle for the laugh

An agent wouldn't release that obviously, it's unprofessional, that said it could strain relations between his client and the club, which could mean a pay day for him i.e. Sterling on the move - this isn't the worst news for his agent. On the flip side, Sterling goes nowhere and he's shot himself in the foot regarding wage negotiations so he could be livid.

That'll teach him for not giving D'Angelo one of the high rises to look after.

Now that D'Angelo is 21 and kicked out of the house, he has to suppliment his income somehow.

marklazarcovic

Only thing sterling is doing is driving down the price we could get for him..not surprised the owners won't stump up for him,would be a huge investment for a player who has a lot to learn yet..them Americans would have hired people to check up on him long ago I'd say,and perhaps its those who are leaking the stuff in order to weaken sterlings position contract wise...

If he gets injured and looses that pace he is just another decent young player ..value halved


Edit. Obviously based on the club wanting to sign him up long term.

Did you appreciate my throwback to the 80's last night with the John Carver/Bob Carrolgees comparison? Hopefully that wasn't too pop culture for you.
