Do you also recall that in that game bringing Lucas on at half time was what allowed us to regain our shape and get something from that game?

I do recall that and said in here at half time in that game when gerrard was getting the blame, that gerrard wasnt the problem it was the lack of support he was receiving. Henderson played far too advanced that game and neither suarez or sturridge drifted out to the left which they have done in subsequent games. That game was a wake up call either for rodgers tactically or the players with regard to attitude.
These last 10 games gerrard has played have been my favourite 10 games of his liverpool career he was written off by many including his own fans. He is now all about the team rather than an individual as a lot of his career has been. It has also extended his career as Id comfortably have him in that role as one of the top 3 midfielders in the league and saved us needing to buy a DM next year.
Lucas has been a great servant but he isnt good enough to be a regular starter for a top 4 team. He didnt play regularly when we had alonso, masch and gerrard and I dont feel he is good enough to play regularly now.
For DM Gerrard is quicker than lucas, far better long range passer, demands the ball off the back 4 and gets himself turned and plays the ball forward, I would class him a better tackler and is a set piece specialist. All in all its a no brainer to pick gerrard over lucas especially as if lucas plays so will gerrard and it will weaken us twice as gerrard isnt as good as henderson in the role that henderson plays.

Called in sick to work today for the first time in years.

Good times. TOP OF THE LEAGUE!

Dear Andy Carroll, Stewart Downing and Joe Cole,

You're not fond of us, and we don't really like all of you either, but you can all fúck off if you think you're going to fúck things up next week.

Win your game tonight, and you're effectively safe, if you're not already; then you can set your mind on more important things...like alcohol, holidays and generally doing fúck all after mid-May.

Much appreciated.

Yours sincerely,
Slick.

West Ham will set up exactly like the did against Chelsea. Anti football, park the bloody bus, and they'll be a lot more efficient, and dangerous than Sunderland were at it.

I worry.

An interesting point made by Ken Early (Rodgers new number 1 fan).

During his Sky Sports punditry debut last week, Paul Scholes was withering about Jack Wilshere’s lack of development since he burst on the scene five years ago. “He doesn’t look any better player now than he did when he was 17. He needs people like Vieira, characters like that, to take him on to the next level. Characters and leaders are important.”

Keep Scholes’s logic in mind when assessing progress made by Liverpool players like Raheem Sterling, Daniel Sturridge, Jordan Henderson and Philippe Coutinho. They are reaping the benefit of playing alongside the most impressive model of competitive ferocity in the game.

They will play for a point if they win tonight, they will be on 37 points, as good as safe so they will have no need to go for the win against us.
I have a lot of faith though with the way we play, we have had no issue breaking down teams like West Ham this season, its the teams that try to press us we have struggled against, West Brom and Villa to name two.

I can accept being bested by City and Chelsea but come the end of the season, and it turns out that it was Pulis and Allardyce who undone our title challenge, I will find that a very hard pill to swallow. You just know too that both of them would ****ing love it to be the ones that twist the knife.

Thought exactly that when he said it at the time. Gerrard and Suarez can only have a massively positive affect on the players around them.

No excuses when the best player in the league burst a nut to chase back when 4-0 up with 5 minutes to go. The mentality is frightening, and you really just cannot hide when you line out with Suarez, and Gerrard to a lesser extent, everyday.

It's not down to Lucas that Gerrard was average to very poor for the first half the season, unable to string a few passes in a row and far too often opting for the Hollywood pass. Basic stuff at the very least he wasn't doing, and that's putting back the tracking back aside. You're right in saying Gerrard can't do the Henderson role though. But let's not forget Lucas, Henderson and Allen played very well at White Hart Lane and the Etihad Stadium too. Anyway, Gerrard's all round play has upped massively in the last 3 months though and long may it continue, but he was not without blame like one or two were making out back then or even the first half of last season too.

As for the bit about Lucas early in his career.... he was a kid coming in from Brazil who was renowned as an attacking midfielder and was being converted into a DM by Rafa. He had Alonso as the deep lying playmaker, Mascherano as the defensive midfielder and Gerrard as the attack midfielder is the best midfield I've seen at the club in my time supporting the club going back 20 years in front of him in the pecking order. A genuine top class midfield trio back then.

With the addition of CL football next season, both Lucas and Gerrard will feature regularly.

Cannot be expecting Gerrard to play two games a week at his age.

LuckyLloyd · 31-03-2014 2:42pm

I don't know lads. Lots of work still to do. We must:

- beat City. Losing to them would mean we'd need them to drop six points more than us elsewhere (given goal difference concerns). If we draw there then we need them to drop three more than us;
- beat Chelsea. This will be the kind of game Mourinho excels in and has performed well in already this year;
- Not **** it up elsewhere. Newcastle at home is the softest game remaining. Norwich / West Ham / Crystal Palace away are all tough ties. One of them will relish a goo at us for a myriad of reasons and the other two are battling relegation**;

Win six games, win the league. Lose / draw any of them and it's all bets off.

**It has been proven (via research undertaken by some bookmakers) that teams battling relegation don't do any better down the stretch, infact they perform very slightly worse over the last four games than their ppg average for the season up to that point. That said, there are always exceptions to a general rule and Crystal Palace are a different animal to what they were for the first portion of the season and we'll be in receipt of these team's best efforts infront of racuous home support.

We struggled big time against Sunderland until Gerrard scored the free kick.

Hoping Palace will be legless by then after already securing safety

When you consider their first 10 games they're probably at top 10 side since Pulis arrived.

Daemonic · 31-03-2014 2:54pm

I'll be supporting Palace against Cardiff, Villa & West Ham in the hope they win all 3 and are safe on 40 points by the time we play them. Everton will have too much for them but they could win those 3.

Turtyturd · 31-03-2014 3:00pm

I hope we hammer Palace and Pulis gets his wish of a prominent spot on MotD.

Would recommend listening back to the Second Captains podcast from last week featuring Tony Barrett which featured the same logic as you mentioned above....basically argued that Suarez (and to a lesser extent Gerrard) have raised the level of other players like Flanno, Hendo, Sterlo etc. whereas players like Wilshire at Arsenal have nobody to look up to like that

dfx- · 31-03-2014 3:02pm

Despite my OP in the last thread, I have to say this weekend has me thinking Liverpool can really do it.

It should now be a shootout between City and Liverpool. Chelsea wanting to avoid defeat - taking a 0-0 - was my stumbling block for really considering Liverpool.

The fact that you can afford a draw with Chelsea to finish ahead of them is a major slipup by Mourinho and badly affects his archetypal spoiling-the-game.

That would be nice.

Pulis has done an absolutely tremendous job there. He doesn't get near the credit for it though due to his style of play, etc.

Devilman40k · 31-03-2014 3:06pm

Spent the guts of the last 24 hours watching the match thread, here and twitter trying to make sense of whats actually happening. And I still have no idea,
still can't make sense of how we have gone from a mid-table team (which we have to admit we have been for 4 years) to title challengers in the blink of an eye.

Gonna ramble now so apologies

I'm one of the few here (I think) that can remember our glory days, watching Beardsley, Barnes, Aldridge , Houghton, McMahon terrorize teams on a regular basis.
Hell I can even remember Johnston, Rush and king Kenny when they were at their prime when I was 9 watching us win the double, loving it when we marched over
Europes and Englands best. Believing that we were indestructible, that no matter what we could win.

Can remember with great clarity the despair of THAT night at Anfield in '89 (will never forget Brian Moores commentary

), and the darkest days of Heysel and Hillsborough.

And a day that defined our last 24 years..the day Kenny resigned, the day he looked haunted, jaded, worn out, where the pressure of leading us,
being our figurehead had taken it's toll, the day Liverpool had beaten it's King.

I've lived through the false dawns under both Houllier and Rafa, through the "Spice Boys" , the dogs of war, the day the club was taken to the brink of destruction
by the cowboys, through the short reign of he who's name we should never speak. Spent 20+ years watching as my Utd supporting family and mates smugly grinned, gloated
laughed at MY club and our fall. Watched Ferguson patronise us, lord over us for 24 years. Watched as Billionaires came in and bought titles while we struggled and
through our own mismanagement fell behind, followed each bad decision with another.

Watched all this through ever cynical eyes thinking that at 9 I had seen the best this club would ever be, telling my kids about great Liverpool teams of the past and
that was all I would have, that midtable was where we would stay.

Until now...until I heard the roar at the end of yesterdays game, a roar I thought I'd never hear at Anfield again (the Chelsea game in 05 came close).
We gained something this season, something we've not had since that day 24 years ago, we've gained belief, found the voice we lost.
Sure we had swagger under Evans but we were brittle, we had dogged determination under Houllier but no style, we had hope with Rafa but politics destroyed that and him.
Kenny brought back the pride restored stablized the club, but Rodgers....he's made us believe,
just as he's made Henderson, Sturridge, Flannagan, Skrtel believe in themselves.

Lloyd had a great post a few weeks back after Fulham, his "tables being turned" post. But it's much more than that,
the look in Gerrards eye that night when he scored the winner was the moment when I started to think...maybe...just maybe.

Today I feel like I did as a 9 year old watching us win the double, I sit with my 8 yo daughter watching our games and
in her I see the same belief, wonder and joy watching the Reds that I had back then.

Can we win? you're bloody right we can, will we? I don't care, I believe....

6 to go

Ive been thinking of the permutations. I really fear Chelsea. As you say Mourinho excels at this. I wonder is there a bit of psychological master/apprentice thing with Mourinho and Rodgers.

I have a sneaking suspicion Chelsea could drop points before we play them. They play Stoke at the weekend who have P5 W4 D1 in March so there is form there for a start. Heres Chelseas April:

PSG Chelsea 2nd April
Chelsea Stoke City 5th April
Chelsea PSG 8th April
Swansea City Chelsea 13th April
Chelsea Sunderland 20th April
Liverpool Chelsea 27th April

We need Chelsea to beat PSG which would put a CL semi-final either side of our match. There might just be a chance that the CL could distract them.

If we can win our next 3 I think we could afford to lose to Chelsea and win the last 2 if they hiccup.

Liverpool Fans Terrified It May All Be A Dream

The Liverpool squad have been rumoured to be similarly worried they will wake up to find Roy Hodgson at the training ground running through some exhilarating ways to aimlessly launch a ball from defence up to the opposition’s box.

:D:D

Nowt that could really be added to what has been said about the previous two games. Deserved wins, and some top performances from players.

We are going to have a hell of a team next season if Rodgers can upgrade a few of the starting XI slots.

Has been one of my most enjoyable seasons as a matchgoer, and that is despite the atmosphere in the ground not being what it once was. Just wish there were more games left in the season that there are.

The defensive work put in by Coutinho and Sterling (certainly not just those 2, but I think it is worth singling them out because they have both been singled out in the past for not being physical enough) has been immense.

Sterling looks like he could go on and fulfil every last bit of the promise he showed as a youth. It's wonderful to watch. He looks like he could be effective almost anywhere in the final 3rd of the pitch, such is his intelligence.

If you look at the bottom 10, there is just one team we have lost to all season, Hull, only 9 points dropped in total. We have blown away these teams this season.

The bottom teams in general have poor enough strikers and Rodgers knows they might get one goal against you or two but we are absolutely confident we can outscore them. That is the difference. The focus is always on scoring another goal quickly.

Poyet had Sunderland very well set up imo.

Playing 3 at the back and sitting deep made life very difficult for SAS. Vergini was all over the shop which helped.

The early goal helped against Spurs and meant Spurs had to come at us. Also meant the crowd were in full voice from start to finish.

Have to admit the idea of winning it in 2014 has me welling up a little when I think about the possibility, albeit for a very different reason to what has you welling up.

But on a lighter note, and one that may have been mentioned on here in the past five or six days.

In 1964 we beat Spurs on the 30th of March to go top of the table. That same season we beat Man U 1-0 and 3-0. We also put 5 past Arsenal at Anfield that season, and it was Bill Shankly's second season managing Liverpool in the top division. We won the title that season.

In 2014 we beat Spurs on the 30th of March to go top of the table. We again beat Man U 1-0 and 3-0. We put 5 past Arsenal at Anfield, and we have a manager who is in his second season managing the club in the top division.

And this number was top of the charts that day:

Relevant when you think of who our current rivals are.

Have to admit the idea of winning it in 2014 has me welling up a little when I think about the possibility, albeit for a very different reason to what has you welling up.

But on a lighter note, and one that may have been mentioned on here in the past five or six days.

Was reading about this a few days ago

As Liverpool FC take the field to take on Spurs on March 30th it will be exactly 50 years to the day since they also faced their North London opponents on the same patch of green Anfield turf.

Back in 1964, The Beatles were number one in the charts with Can’t Buy Me Love and Bill Shankly’s Reds were looking to make it a maximum three wins in four days over the Easter weekend, following their 3-1 win at Spurs on Good Friday and a 2-0 home victory against bogey team Leicester the next day.

Watching the highlights again, Daniel Levy looks like Marc Almond, dressed as Dr. Evil, waiting on someone who is very late to a meeting.

So, there's that.
