See you have jumped in and started to talk nonsense. I have been to plenty of matches, done the day trip on the ferry with IK, seen us lose to Chelsea to hand them the league, get beaten 1-3 by Villa twice and beat City last year amongst a load of other games (Man City last April was my last game) but the days of cheap flights & hotels are gone so it's too expensive to go these days. So don't presume I don't go to matches.

I never said I thought we should have won the league this season and I never thought we would. I expected a decent season with CL qualification the number 1 priority, a good showing in Europe, and finally a good run in the FA Cup would be a nice bonus.

I expected progress. That doesn't mean winning the league or winning anything in Europe. I would happily settle for 4th place as long as the manager and team were going in the right direction, and I would settle for it again next season.

But this season has been a complete disaster overseen by a manager clearly out of his depth, and coming 5th if we are lucky and winning the FA Cup doesn't change the fact the season has been a massive disappointment.

Those are my opinions. I realise I'm in the minority every time I post and know I face a backlash, but I don't care to be honest. I'd rather give my honest opinion than hide away.

I don't agree it's been a 'disaster'. I say this now before the game today should we lose to Villa and that would be season over realistically.

Your dismissal of Rogers is ridiculous. He's done really really well, better than I'd have imagined when he took over.

He's been sh!t in Europe, absolutely sh!t. But I'm willing to allow him to learn on the job because he got us into the Champions League. The fact he got us there so soon is a big factor for me. Yeah, we won't be there next season, but go again Brendan as far as I'm concerned.

If we win the FA Cup, there's definitely no arguement from me as far as Rodgers is concerned.

Turtyturd

Should be treated like a king alright.



















Joffrey.

I'm fairly unapologetic in my fears for our league performances if we are in the EL next season but no way would I be hoping we don't win the FA cup because of it.

An Arsenal final would be epic, something to really look forward to.

Any chance of Mario getting a run today?

Chelsea used 26 players that season and still only came 3rd. Have we 26 players we could use??

Only if Brad Jones brings his 3DS

Another game with no strikers on the pitch yet three on the bench.

2 right backs aswell, just in case you know...

Hollister11

Don't forget lads, chelsea may have won the europa league, but they just won the champions league a year before. They also signed Hazard that summer

5starpool

Well that's another 3 points in the bag for City anyhow.

Does anyone know of any deals with BT,can't get to a pub today and don't fancy paying €21 a month with the season nearly over.
Thanks

I got an email on Friday offering me 3 months at €9.99 a month. Use the code LFC on checkout.

West Ham are on the beach.

Agent Coulson

Big Sam is out the door there I wouldn't have expected much help from West Ham today.

Anyone got any links for the game today please

Brilliant to see Gerrard start.

Less brilliant to see Markovic as a WB again.

Agent Coulson

For all the money spent on players since FSG took over that really is a weak squad we have.

That bench is shocking bad.

I feel you post this every match...

But yeah we still need to improve our squad a lot. But the same can almost be said of every team in the league. And the squad is still a million times better than it was when they took over. No poulsen or konchesky for a start.

More effective there than Johnson

Come on Gerrard!

To be fair, Ibe, Sturridge, Lucas and Sakho would improve things

J Mysterio

Coutinho, you beauty!

Agent Coulson

At least the most important young player at the club signed his contract

Agent Coulson

New underage Goalkeeper signed from Cork.

Lallana as well.

Absolutely brutal from us, only one winner in this game and it aint us.

rob316

Take Gerrard off and we might have a chance of winning this still.

Super-Rush

I don't usually pay much heed to your average Twatter moron, but i've just seen one of my mates tweet that he reckons Rodgers is pretending that Lucas is injured so he can justify bringing Gerrard back in.

Unfollow.

Slattsy

I'd hook a few more tbh. Sterling is poison.

Sterling's done well, one of the better performers in fact.

Not at all, sure isn't it just great to see him out there strolling around enjoying himself. Just sit back and enjoy it you'll miss him when he's gone.

On another note...it's great Coutinho being the best player in the league winds up so many people.

Jon Stark

The only reason I know Stevie G is on the pitch is because I saw the starting XI. Anonymous as much as I hate to say it.

Tipsy McSwagger

Markovich off, he is awful.

Steeeeven!

Rodgers hasnt a clue what to do here.

Utopia Parkway

This has been a really poor performance. You could tell after 5 or 10 minutes that they just weren't at it today. Let Villa have the initiative from the start. The striker situation has been a joke all season to be honest.

Turtyturd

We look like the championship level team here not them.

I swear if anyone tries to say Gerrard should start between now and the end of the season I'll be getting banned

The whole eleven should be told to **** off after the first hour of the game, fcuking pathetic stuff.

weldoninhio

Lucky we had Stevie on to deliver that free kick in.

5starpool

The worst thing is almost that there is no real reason to be optimistic for next season at all.

Pyjamarama

Hard to be positive right now... We look completely toothless and by God do we miss Lucas.

Slattsy

Pathetic stuff.

Those who would play in his stead don't inspire wonder.
