Gestede is the best header in the league, not much Sakho could have done. The only way to stop him really was to stop the cross.

Well then he should have known. Don't let him run. It just looked too easy.

He was doing mad**** for the first goal too

We really did turn off for Villa's first, Moreno, Couthino, Sakho, Can, all alseep , crazy stuff.

Watching it, it looked like Can stopped expecting a free for a tug on his Jersey. Play the whistle is one of the first things you learn.

True...don't even worry too much about winning the ball, just make sure he can't get past you to get near it either.

Damn right, very poor defending, surprised you didn't bring up Mignolet, Skrtel, Lucas, Milner and Clyne.

The good news is that Garry Monk has now gone 3 games without a win.

SlickRic

Just give up on defending, organising the backline or trying to control a game.

Just try all out attack from different angles. OK, we've no Suarez, but it's still a better bet than what we've witnessed up to today.

I've missed Sturridge.

Bar trying to nullify the cross for Villa's second goal, I dont think anyone would of stopped Gestede from heading that ball.

He aint wrong

btw 2 points off 4th and 5 off 1st................

are we over reacting about Brendan in here just a little??

Fair play to him. I admit I got a little down recently but fair f1cking play to him. Who knows what the future brings. All we can comment on is the present and at this present time are we not on track for seasons objectives?

Cant believe some people said we where closer to relegation than champions league...........................

I don't think any defender in the world could be expected to stop Gestede's header unless they were playing out of their skin that day.

The other goal was pure sh*te defending in classic Brendan Rodgers-era Liverpool style.

We're not on track as things stand. It's not a 5000m race where it can be preferable to wait in the pack until the end when you sprint clear. We're certainly not out of things, but being 7th isn't being on track.

Also, I may be wrong, but we were closer to the relegation places than the CL ones 12 hours ago, weren't we?

I'd imagine they're here in some form or another, boards is a lot easier to access now with the likes of smartphones.

When I first came across boards it was through searching for various things while renovating a house but then I found the soccer forum I genuinely thought it was just made up off students and nerdy kids:) I was very surprised when discovering that most of the people on here were older than myself.

Yup total ****, four or five lads looking at each other and not one with any idea on who to blame.

I think we were actually lucky to only concede two tbh.

Still positive though because if we can keep Couthinio and Sturridge fit, we have a chance in outscoring the opposition.

If we resort to the 13/14 tactics, we definitely won't get 4th this season. It's all well and grand when you have Suarez, Sturridge, Sterling and Coutinho playing, but when you have only 2/4 still at the club it's just going to be a disaster.

I dont know, this Ings lad is looking to have a work rate similar to Suarez and if Milner continues to get forward into shooting positions, we might not get second but fourth wouldn't be out of reach;). I'll not be getting too carried away, its not that far away since the Utd horror show.

Well it'll be interesting to see what way he sets them out in the next game, how does Henderson fit into that system when he regains fitness. It will have to be at the expense of either Milner or Lucas and going by their performances yesterday, I wouldn't be inclined to change either.

Villa, Norwich and West Ham at home, we took 4 points.

Rodgers is quite unlucky as well though in fairness or maybe the team is, did villa have two shots today and two goals. Utd had 3 shots and 3 goals at old trafford. Fit sturridge and bit of luck and they will fly up the table.

Yes, we've been very unlucky that other teams are more accurate with their shots on target.

Yep, and was being auctioned in the last three transfer windows. Also not picked for the first two match day squads of the season.

Only came back in to the frame due to Henderson's injury.

If not for that he would currently be at Besiktas on loan.

He's capable of great games like yesterdays, but he's also having regular stinkers these days too.

Lets get rid so!

Osmosis Jones

Let's not forget that while we aren't far off 4th, we've had what was supposed to be a fairly easy start, the games only get harder from here and we have points to make up.

Dont be at yourself

We've had both Arsenal and United away, two of our most difficult games on paper.

“There’s a hysteria around the club,” the Northern Irishman told BBC Sport. “However criticism comes, whether deserved or undeserved, you don’t like it. What has surprised me with it is we’ve lost fewer games than Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal in all competitions. We’ve only lost two. There’s scrutiny on the players but it’s made us stronger.

It's quotes like this that bother me about Rodgers. The hysteria is because performances and results haven't been good enough. Then to say there's been scrutiny on the players? In fairness I think Pool fans have been scrutinising the club from top to bottom over the last few weeks. (Owners,Players,Managers,Coaches)

He seemed very confident again on the back of one win. Why not recognise and say results and performances have not been good enough but today was an improvement instead of talking of "hysteria"

Good result for him yesterday, I think the next 5 games (or Sturridges fitness) make or break whether he sees out the season.

Not an easy start by any means but it's about to get even harder. The next months run of fixtures would be cruel on any manager let alone one under so much pressure.

Just saw a tweet that showed the five teams we've beaten in the League since March and where they are in the league atm.

Bournemouth 16th
Stoke 17th
Villa 18th
Newcastle 19th

I'm really starting to think he posts on here.

That really is something some of the posters on here us as an excuse for Liverpool being sh1te.

LuckyLloyd

Delighted to win yesterday, only caught the MOTD highlights but we looked much more fluid with Sturridge playing with a partner. Their goals were very poor however.

Agree with Mike's posts though - it doesn't remove the scrutiny around Rodgers and his decisions. He's under watch for a period now. In that context, some of his post match quotes are not positive. If he's not cognisant of why there is pressure I'd be slightly baffled.

Big week ahead.

So the next four league games we have

Everton away
Spurs away
Southampton home
Chelsea away

We took 7 from those 12 last season. If we took the same this season that would leave us on 18 points after 11 games. Not a disaster but still a mountain to climb. Followed by palace at home and city away, both games we lost last season.

After that run I could see us on 20 points after 13 games. If your target is 2 ppg then it's not far off and could be enough to save him, performances depending also.

This is all guess work but gives a good indication of where we could be. I really don't see him surviving to the end of November.
