    Handy that we basically got the day off. Virtually no effort expended in the last hour of the game.

    It still feels a bit like a team has to play ****e for us to beat them. Fulham and QPR are the obvious examples.

    Good win. Sterling was very poor I thought. I think he should be used as a sub for the rest of the season. Only started coming into the game when QPR were knackered.

    Henderson played well 1st half I thought. Looks more assured and confident. The one Kenny signing(apart from Suarez) that I'm happy with.

    I'm still genuinely baffled about Sahin and Assaidi's situations. I've seen pics of Sahin training and the mask should allow him to play? I thought he would have had a field day today. There's more to the Assaidi one than meets the eye. Rumours that he was injured this week. Some saying his knee and others saying his groin? I'd love to hear Rodger's talking about it. From what I've seen, I think he has more to his game than Sterling at the minute.

    And Suarez <3 I'll miss him :(

    Think this and other posters, from match thread, are starting to be unfair on Sterling.
    Some will argue that he should be rested more but the fact is he's only 18 and has done brilliant to get into the team.

    This guy will be huge for us and is learning all the time and you have to make allowances for him as he learns his trade.

    He has done well and fair play to him. He's broken into the team and it was always a matter of when with him tbf. But his performances really do leave a lot to be desired. And the way we are at the moment we need lads who are starting up in the front three to have an end product. He just hasn't got it right now but it'll come in time. Overplaying him will be bad for him and us.

    I think it just reflects badly on the team. Even Messi didn't get that much game time at 17/18.

    Nothing much should be expected of Sterling for 4 or 5 years. Any end product is a bonus really. Having a bit of time in the team won't do any harm but we don't want to break him and we can't afford to carry him indefinitely.

    The arrival of Sturridge and maybe Ince should see Sterling's game time curtailed a fair bit.

    Feckin hell how poor was Sterling today?

    Assiadi should have at least come on for the last 15 minutes.

    Lucas snuffed out their mini comeback when he came on thankfully.

    Decent win against a piss poor side.

    Lets hope we can beat Sunderland or this wont mean a thing.

    Well it was QPR but still a good sign. I would like to see Gerrard and Allen in front of the back four for a couple of games to see how they get on.

    I don't think today followed a much dissimilar pattern to many games this season. In most matches we seem to come out of the blocks like a train and for the first half an hour really dominated teams. Generally if they can live with us during that period we tend to not be able to keep up the pace and they then come more and more into the game as QPR did in the second half. The difference today was that during that period of dominance we scored a few goals.

    I thought first half the players seemed really clued in on the way we're suppose to be playing. After we went one nil up the players looked to take the sting out the game by passing it around short and neat, probing and moving the ball well. The start of the second half was so frustrating to watch, it was like night and day from the first half. We started looking to play the ball quickly up top with real urgency when all we needed at that stage three up was to keep the ball moving and make QPR work. It was really frustrating to watch.

    I was hoping we would go on to hammer them after such a big early lead for team morale more than anything. Still a badly needed three points.

    Why do the club publicise the embarrassing nature of his illness? Why not just refer to a bug or similar? Could you imagine utd doing that with fergie? Simply wouldn't happen

    Henderson looked fooked when he came off and he wasn't ul to the same standard as first half. Lucas needs game time and today was an ideal opportunity.
    Suso for Enrique was fairly straight foward, he was injured.
    Allen could of came off sooner, been struggling with a groin strain I think.
    I reckon Suarez would have been subbed if not for the injury to Enrique as he is suffering from an ankle knock. He stayed on instead of Allen because apparently he is Unbreakable.

    He had a very poor first half but he actually got better as the game went on. Could easily have had 2 assists in the end. He set up Suarez for a shot that was tipped over and there was another cut back that someone shot over the bar.

    Still doesn't look as sharp as he did earlier in the season though. He's played a lot more minutes that should be expected of him.

    Can understand Henderson coming off because he was sick, but like last week we were playing with a player that looked off the pace from the start. Sterling should have come off after 50 or so minutes. And even though Carragher has not done anything wrong when he has come on, whats the point when you have Coates on the bench or Shelvey who could have done with a confidence boost.

    Lucas had another poor game. QPR's midfield was so disjointed that he should have looked alot better when he came on. He looks slow of foot and thought.

    Been out for a long time so you would think it will come back with a bit of time but he looks a total liability in the meantime. I wouldn't start him. Similarly, Gerrard look absolutely shattered. Some of these guys either need a good rest or a new fitness regime.

    Not everyone uses twitter or is inanyway familiar with the app. It wouldn't have even crossed my mind to look at the number of followers

    And given the being Liverpool programme and the clubs numerous pr gaffs, nothing would surprise me

    A goal is a goal, be it tap-ins or long range screamers so it's a silly argument anyway but RVP has scored some brilliant goals too this season so it's a moot point.

    Silly.

    3 points is what its all about. I wont be getting too excited about it being against QPR though.

    Fairly impressive from Henderson to do what he did while being sick, to think he was being offered to anyone for the same amount as 30 weeks of Sahin's wages would make a grown man cry to be honest.

    Suarez is the difference between some hope and no hope.

    Pascoe reveals extent of illnesses

    Colin Pascoe has revealed details of the illnesses which hit the Liverpool camp ahead of their 3-0 win at Queens Park Ranges.
    Pascoe deputised for Brendan Rodgers in the dugout for our final game of 2012, with the boss returning to Merseyside on Sunday morning on doctor's orders.

    The Northern Irishman was too ill to make contact during the game, though he did pick the team.

    His assistant Pascoe was also ill with a different ailment, and revealed afterwards that he too had been barred from the dressing room to prevent the players being struck down.

    He said: "This morning, he [Rodgers] phoned me. I wasn't feeling very well myself, but he was worse than me!

    "He didn't look so good, he was very, very white. We were in the hotel.

    "All the preparation had been done for the match. Brendan picked the team. The presentations to the players were all set, I just did the presentations today. The driver had to take him [Brendan] back home.

    "He wasn't in touch during the game - he's that bad!

    "The way the medical team and the doctors isolated the players and the staff, they've been fantastic. Hopefully it's nipped in the bud and not too many players or staff will be affected by it."

    On his own sickness, Pascoe added: "I made notes before, during and after and I gave them to Mike Marsh, who went in and gave instructions.

    "I wasn't allowed in the dressing room!"

    Two goals from Luis Suarez and a header from Daniel Agger ensured QPR remained rooted to the bottom of the Barclays Premier League heading into the New Year.

    Liverpool stay eight points adrift of the top four but a win at home to Sunderland on Wednesday will make it a decent return of nine points from a possible 12 over the Christmas period.

    Pascoe said: "They were awesome today. The way they played, conducted themselves and controlled the game.

    "The way Luis and Stevie and the boys played - you could go through the whole team. It was just a great team performance."

    Asked whether the display gave him hope that 2013 would be a more fruitful year than 2012 on the pitch for Liverpool, Pascoe replied: "Yes, definitely.

    "We were all disappointed after Stoke but the performances in a lot of the games have been terrific. Again today, coming to QPR, which is a tough place to come, the lads were superb."

    He's been much better this season in that regard although he has gotten booked once or twice for diving and still feigns injury a bit more than most.

    How long more do you reckon he'll last at the club?

    In fairness they are both great and very different players but I wouldn't say Van Persie is a class above Suarez. I doubt that is a view that would be widely held in many places outside of England anyway.

    Also it's not like RVP exactly has a squeaky clean past himself.

    Good Win for us. I know it's QPR, but like they say, "You can only Beat what's in Front of You"

    Everyone played well, and Suarez was magical.

    I think the key to our win here, was that we took our chances early. If we can be that clinical in front of goal for the rest of the season, I think we will finish with respectability. Hopefully, the January Additions will continue to reinforce this side of our game.

    If there is any Silverlining in the Loss against Stokes, is the hope that it finally Hammered into Rodgers, that starting Shelvey with Gerard is a really, really BAD IDEA!

    Gerard is just so used to a FREE ROLE that even if you give him the AM Position, you will still see him plenty of times at the Back 4. Which we've seen in plenty of games.

    If he is really UNDROPPABLE, then it is of the utmost importance to partner him with Energetic Midfielders, that are willing to cover lots of ground. That means Allen and Hendo, and specially no Shelvey.

    I'm really worried about Lucas. I hope it is just due to lack of Match Fitness and not something worse. He looks severely off-the-pace. Even so, a Defensive DM is really a must for January.

    We must keep Downing at least until Summer. Unless we sign a Left Back in January, his ability to play Left Back is indispensable in this current campaign.

    Bring on Sunderland! :D

    Another 12 years playing, then on the coaching staff for 5 years until he takes over as manager for about 17 years, so to answer your question, 34 years.
