We showed something there. A bit of life in the team, there's a glimmer of hope.

JohnDaniels · 26-09-2015 4:56pm

So Lucas is done, eh?

brevity · 26-09-2015 4:56pm

A good win although I'm not sure why Villa waited until we scored 2 to wake up.

We still are unable to control a game which worries me

Sturridge is BACK!

He may keep Rodgers in a job

Well a great second half for the neutral but a bit too heart stopping for me at times. I really don't see how Can can be seen as a long term solution to a defending problem and that sort of thing is why Rodgers will remain under scrutiny.

I would love to see Can grow in to a great great player but he is a liability every time he on the pitch never seems aware of what is happening around him

Grayditch · 26-09-2015 4:56pm

Missed the game thanks to some bull****, how did we play? Looks like a close one. Obviously.

Tipsy McSwagger · 26-09-2015 4:56pm

If you discount the goals we have conceded in all our games we are top of the league

Knex* · 26-09-2015 4:56pm

Emre Can was embarrassing for their 1st goal today. Dreadful awareness.

Ings and Sturridge could be a lethal partnership with Coutinho behind them. It's crazy what an effect Sturridge has on this team.

pmy.murphy · 26-09-2015 4:58pm

I was probably the biggest critic of Danny Ings signing on here over the summer. In fairness he has really surprised me, he actually looks like a player

I think there's a lesson to be learned here..

OwaynOTT · 26-09-2015 4:59pm

If you discount the fact that there's other teams in the league, we would comfortably win this year.

Bar 2 brain farts it wasn't close at all. Delighted with that first time in a while I enjoyed a liverpool game.

If we can beat Everton next we may get our season back on track yet.

Every time he gets written off he puts in a performance like that. Immense today.

great to see Sturridge back. It was pretty obvious he was out of steam at the end of the game but he was still involved in lots. Cant wait till he's back to 100% fitness

He didn't even get booked.

Gbear · 26-09-2015 5:04pm

Yayyyyyy.

Christ I wanted to stab Can in his stupidly hansome face.
He actually had a pretty good game - he was doing the whole supporting midfielder from CB thing that you'd expect from Hummels, Pique or what have you, but his effort to defend Gestede's goal was just so ****ing stupid and lazy there's really no excusing it.

Short of kidnapping his extended family and threatening them with violence I don't know what you can do to make a footballer do something so utterly basic like follow the CF that's standing right beside him in plain view when a cross is coming into the box.
And then he put's his stupid arms up as if it's all some big ****ing mystery.:mad:

Their 2nd goal was grand. Sometimes you get a very good cross, the CF gets a run at you and ****it, it can happen to anyone.
But you don't want to be where we are, after so much ****e, and somehow contrive to make what should be routine and confidence boosting into a borderline disaster.

Better going forward in the 2nd half and it's nice to see Dan get a few goals after so long, and a frankly ****ty uninvolved and timid performance up until then.

All in all, meh. No matter what happens, there's a malaise at the club and in the team that can't be dispelled overnight, even if you replace the manager. Hopefully just hanging on to a win and your top striker getting a few goals will help.

Rodgers could probably still go at any time. He owes the club about 2 wins before his head comes back off the chopping block for the time being.

BorneTobyWilde · 26-09-2015 5:05pm

That scoreline makes Villa look like they were in this. What I liked the most about today was fact that the ball never was more than 6 inches off the ground while in Liverpool possession. We passed and played some great one touch football, Just Ed was look to get his two goals for Villa. They were against run of play and it's hard to defend against a big runt of a player who is great in the air.
We could have had 6 today easily !

Sturridge is back!

Our Year!

Rejoice in that victory lads, I'm away off to a wedding, have a good one!

He absolutely deserved one towards the end, but he used his usual Jedi mind trick to make the Ref forget about booking him after he gave Villa advantage.

I don't know how he does it.

I guess he's just a really nice man and nobody wants to be do anything that might make him sad.
It feels like refs have to restrain themselves from tussling his hair when he gives away a foul.

Villas second goal was pretty much unstoppable but Lucas should have stopped the cross on the first one, He was very good today tho which surprised me to be honest.

BorneTobyWilde · 26-09-2015 5:15pm

City conceded 6 goals in last two games
It's a funny olde league
Those things make Rodgers plight understandable
Fine margins
Should of been clear of Arsenal at half time
Deserved to beat Norwich

Tipsy McSwagger · 26-09-2015 5:15pm

I posted last week we have a decent squad who can get top 4, all we need is a top manager to come in and sort out the defence first and foremost and we will finish in the top 4 this season. It has to be done as quickly as possible or the chance will be gone.

Osmosis Jones · 26-09-2015 5:18pm

We played well today, I absolutely love watching Sturridge do well.

Still think the formation was a problem. It's a formation that allows the opponents a lot of space on the wings. Villa, with Gestede up top, are a crossing team. Both their goals came from crosses.

Same personel in a 442 would be so much better.

Tipsy McSwagger · 26-09-2015 5:20pm

7th in the league and 5pts off the top, make the change FSG and let the fans dream of what could happen.

Nailed on for top 3 and manager of the year for Rodgers now.

Definitely on the boom part of the cycle!

Your a broken record at this stage. We won today and played well, two games until the break he should be kept till then now anyway.

Osmosis Jones · 26-09-2015 5:24pm

He won't get sacked after a win. Rodgers will be gone after his next poor result I'd say. (unless we win the next 10 or so before that)

A gay monk? That'd give the press something else to write about!

Harry Palmr · 26-09-2015 5:25pm

Sturridge took his goals superbly and goodness they've been missed, though it was noticeable how he looked after himself throughout the game - understandable but not something we'd want to see for long, Ings didn't score but was my man of the match with Lucas a massive amount of selfless work done off the ball.

Playing three at the back remains a curious pointless strategy for me, Can is so poor when he gets isolated at right back and when he receives at ball in the 18 yard area and has to deal with it quickly. So why play the system? Moreno and Clyne can still be attacking full backs as they are wing backs.

So a win is a win but a 3-2 home win against Villa is not enough to end the scrutiny of Rodgers tenure.

Oh I agree he's a dead man walking but the change should be made as soon as possible.

I don't see why he wouldn't get sacked after a win.

OwaynOTT · 26-09-2015 5:29pm

Was just thinking to myself that it's alright, everything is alright, the struggle is finished with that victory and I love B-Rod.

It depends if the decision has already been made or not. Rumours (yes, I know) that it was done but wouldn't be announced until payoff had been agreed. I don't really buy that version, but it is plausible. I think personally he has bought some time - just. If we play vs Sion with just one up front again or something and are back to the same crap then it'll be all doom and gloom again though.

A derby defeat will still put a lot of pressure on though next weekend, but if he survives that far and we get a draw or better next weekend then who knows.

I still don't think he'll turn it around long term, but I'd love if we did and there wasn't the need for another total rebuilding exercise.

Fair play to you. I was probably his biggest defender but understand why people were skeptical. With my da being a burnley fan I have a keen interest in them so would have seen a lot more of ings than most and I could put a bit of context to his stats as his early career stages at Burnley were marred by injury and then being a young lad behind Charlie Austin. He is a great option for us to have and his attitude makes him a player that fans will warm to. His style of play also suits playing alongside a front man. Burnley always played 2 up top but could get by with that due to the shift ings puts in.

Agent Coulson · 26-09-2015 5:41pm

The club can't move on like this really win a game or two and he saves his job lose a few and his job is on the line.

It's over for Brendan it's time for FSG now to pull the trigger and bring in an experienced manager.

ricero · 26-09-2015 5:42pm

I fear that a few posters on this forum will become like this lad on Monday when they hear that Rodgers isn't sacked :pac:
