Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014 - Mod Warning in OP, 10/12

Kerrigooney

We have 26 games left. If we average 2 ppg for the rest of the season,which is looking very unlikely,we'll finish on 66 points.

Enjoy the champions league games lads because we ain't gonna be in it next season.

Ciano35

I can't understand why the f*ck he has completely abandoned the diamond!!

Mignolet
Manq - Toure - Sakho - Moreno
Can
Henderson - Cout/Lallana
Sterling
Lambert - Borini

Please!

If you wait till the end of the season you may be able to tempt this guy back to England, least he has a bit of silverware to his name I suppose

There are literally, so many, to choose from when it comes to Rodgers talking ****

At least Pardew responded well to the pressure from the fans, Brendan Rodgers has a tough job too but we are better than Palace,Newcastle and Hull and we should be beating these teams.

No we are not better than Palace, empirical evidence shows a recent 3:1 deficit, the memory of which you have banished with aplomb.

We are worse than Palace because we don't have a game plan or even the balls to compete properly. That 2nd goal was disgraceful, leaving a player un-marked after Lovren was drawn out of the centre. WTF is Gerrard doing? Should be expecting Bolasie to win that battle. Such a soft goal.

It's incredible how things have changed in a few years. Phone is hopping all evening.

Experienced a hell of a lot of that last year, and can only imagine it will be much worse for pool fans this year given the stick ye all surely gave to United supporting friends last year? The wound is still raw

The thing is 66 pts will probably be enough for 4th this year considering how poor most of the teams going for top 4 are. Personally I don't see us getting near that total. Utd have 19 pts from 12 and are 4th that's 57 after 36 games. The best we can hope for is that southampton get top 4 which they could well do this year as at least either arsenal or Utd would miss out.

It's funny how it's changed since yesterday afternoon. I'm sure all the utd fans annoyed by Liverpool fans last season are fuming at some of their fellow fans contributions today.

Slagging is all part and parcel.

Guys that "lost interest" the last 18 months that are now celebrating being 5 points ahead of Liverpool while being double digits behind the leaders are the ones that make me chuckle. Stp's as they are known (small time plastics) in my part of the world. Every fanbase has them as we know.

It's still a brutal team.

Lambert, Borini and Toure are no where near good enough.

The Ludo game is massive. Lose and and that's the CL campaign over really. I also think the end would be on the cards.

However if Rodgers gets the club to the last 16 and makes a fair go and decent effort against whoever is in the next round but ultimately lose, I think FSG would give him more time, perhaps until the end of the season.

Lose and the pressure will be intense. Rodgers would be better off, and I hate saying this, letting the club lose to Basel in an attempt to avoid the bogey prize of the Europa League. The Europa League is the last thing we need.

Agree with all that, the EL is just a scary thought - if it happened he'd end up
thinking the side could win it and play Gerrard etc every game as well as every league game! I'd send the U21s to have two fun games (in which they might create a surprise) and be done with it.

Speaking of the Captain, I feel the best thing he could do for Liverpool and Rodgers is make the ultimate sacrifice and announce his retirement and so release his manager from his thrall unto Gerrard. Obviously he won't do that as player egos are massive.

On the other side of the coin they are acknowledging the fourth place trophy is their level.

Stp's is a term I have not heard before, we just call them ****

The most pathetic of "fans"

Also, Mr Alan coming in here just when we lose like this to slate Rodgers is just typical.

What? Oh.

The worst kind.

Tend to "miss" the games when on a bad run but watch every second when on a good run!

Liverpool picked up loads of these fairweather fans last season. Last seen in 2008/09. I'm sure they'll be back in 5 years or so.

Anyone think Gerrard's contract situation is a factor in his performances? Its pretty obvious Johnson doesn't give a fuk anyway.

No his legs are gone at a top level of football it really is that simple.

I think.

What about Loverns, Skrtels, Sterlings, Mignolets ? What's their excuses? Ballotelli?

All 4 have also been very poor this season, particularly the elder 3.

That's 3 seconds places in a row where the team has collapsed the following season.

Don't think it's a coincidence tbh.

6 losses already this season, individuals not performing, strikers injured and not seen a situation like this since Leeds United got relegated ... but what really worries me is that if you take the Spurs away performance out and the first 20 mins against Madrid home and away this season ... we have not once looked like a side that can achieve anything. We've been so bad at times you would need to ask a more serious question which is can BR get this group of players he has brought together firing or are we just postponing the inevitable?

We are not knee jerk reacting to whats happening it has been pretty horrible to be watching this team and their lack of ambition on the field for 6+ games now. I've said it many times, you do not need to be 60mill Luis Suarez to break your bollox running around the field and show some pride in your jersey. Can any player right now really say that they are giving it 100%?

Something is seriously wrong with the tempo so much that you would question if the players are going to play for their manager. His job is on the line here. Its begining to reek of the Moyes situation last season when some players have gone missing completely and others have lost faith in the manager. Although thankfully there are no noises coming from the dressingroom for now.

Lose the dressingroom lose your job. We will be out of the CL soon enough that's a certainty. It seems ludicrous to think we'd be in this position from last season and even from pre season friendlies. Obviously we'd all like to do a Pardue and win the next few but its worrying times.

You were a professional at it 6 months ago.

nice to see you peeking out of your box

Yeah johnsons head is elsewhere, bizzare how he is still getting games.

Harry Palmr

MOTD 2 up next - now there are only two game so hopefully we'll get a bit of actual discussion. If so I'll bet no one mentions Gerrard or inappropriate formations or the managers insistence on playing favourites over those who deserve a chance.

Wouldn't put Sterling in the same bracket as those players. Lovren,Skrtel,Mignolet are just not good enough. Balotelli I still think can be a good player for us.

Liverpool are as screwed as about 17 other teams in the league.

United are playing just as bad but beside loads of injuries have had some luck

Bowlardo

Feel a bit for Rogers, the players are not doing it for him but the buck stops with him.
Massive game on Tuesday which can be won if we go out for it with the right team.

Manquillo toure skrtel moreno
Allen Lucas Can
Lallana Lambert sterling


Gerard legs are gone and should not be playing in the DM position anymore.
I think last year was his fianl push. losing the league and the world cup broke his spirit. he doesn't look like he has the fire anymore.
johnson is ****e and should have been off loaded in the summer
Lorven is muck
.Ballotelli was a terrible signing.
Really made a bollox of not getting eto and remy instead of ballo and lambert.

Good enough for what?

To beat Crystal Palace?

To beat Hull at home?

To not get utterly twatted by West Ham?

We're not trying to win the league here. We're just trying not to be utterly atrocious.
