    i agree he was far better than sterling who should have been hooked at half time

    Downing is 28 and a £20,000,000 player.

    Sterling is a young 17 year old kid playing his first season of first team football.

    I would expect one to be drastically better than the other.

    Just imagine the improvement when Rodgers can replace players like Downing and Cole with good players.

    like borini and assaidi???

    nobody should get a free pass not a 17 year old or a 28 year old

    Neither are good enough as first team starters.

    One needs to be more lenient with a young player in his first season than a £20,000,000 England International.

    One day Sterling will be an excellent player for us, Downing on the other hand is hopeless.

    Your post was clearly meant to be about his performance today & you said how awful he was. He wasn't. You were talking **** essentially. He was decent, as he has been for a few weeks now.

    If he keeps this up, he'll be an asset for the team & squad.

    Thought Downing was ok today and has been good the last few weeks. Still would expect more from him, although not sure if we'll see it.

    I'm still genuinely baffled about Assaidi's situations. 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.

    I read on Tompkins Times something about the Assaidi situation. I will have to dig it our later & repost. It was to the effect that Assaidi was not a Rodgers signing (It was Jen Cheng's) & Rodgers is making a point by not playing him. I don't know whether its bullsh1t or not but its weird that he hasn't had any game time in the league at all.
    Maybe he is sh1t and just not good enough , who knows.

    What we're getting out of downing is as good as its probably going to get, getting rid of him in january suddenly seems a bad idea, would rather see shlevey loaned in.

    I'd really like to see Assaidi play again. We've had to sit through repeated bad performances by a few players on the team now, how bad can the chap be? He was quick and tricky when I saw him.

    He was very average today. He passes the ball backwards constantly. He's afraid to take on his man. Takes the simple option.

    We played the worst team in the league today, and as per the norm, no assist or goal. Although fantasy football gives him a sympathy assist for Suarez' second.

    We need our wingers to be scoring in or around 10 goals a season. Going by his current rate, he won't get that in 10 years.

    He's not good enough. One good game against Fulham doesn't make up for all the other below par performances.

    The former director of communications of Liverpool football club was buying players???? I really don't know what to say to that.

    Am I going mad or was Johnson not booked today for that foul that didn't really happen? I think it was just before half time, the whistle was blown for him supposedly clipping a QPR player that was running through and he smirked at the ref. Could have sworn he was booked.

    Okay let me see if I have this right, if Liverpool lose against Sunderland the club should hand the points back. Okay.

    He didn't, he kidnapped him. Brought a gun to lunch and everything.

    I think the QPR lad was booked for the dive rather than a Johnson foul!

    Always nice when you have a 3-0 win to look forward to on Motd!

    Wonder what is a realistic finish this season.

    Thats true. Rogers inherited some sh1te signings from previous managers and needs time to build his team with his players. Whether he will get the funds is another question

    Barret also saying QPR are in talks with Cole. I'd like to take a moment to wish QPR and Redknapp a very happy new year. Great club and a sound fellow is Harry.

    If his signings are classified as 'sh1te', his predecessors signings must be classed as unmitigated disasters.
