Yes, but they are so they are so all is not lost.

A bad patch for sure, but not a disaster yet.

Chelsea may even sell cech to us as we are no threat to them.

I don't know if he's actually trying to convince himself or honestly believes it.

That's not what is actually Concerning.

What I'm actually worried about, is that in BR's Eyes, Gerrard's Performance tonight in his New Role, was Excellent.

I'm sure that we will be seeing Gerrard playing the No. 10 from now on.

So less Playing Time for Lallana and Coutinho, unless they are played as Wingers.

Which Begs the Question, why did we even Spunk 20+M on Lallana?

I mean, that Game was crying out for Cou/Lallana, as Subs if not Starters.

If we had another Dribbler in the Team aside from Sterling, we would have Created more Chances against Ludo. But instead, we Persisted with Gerrard for the Full 90.

Turtyturd

He was using his experience to dictate the pace of the game.

Better again, 3rd and 4th are both still very much in play. I'd be nearly happy enough in the grand scheme of things to see Southampton get it if we don't, but they won't. Their next 8 games are very tough generally.

"When I walked into the dressing room after the game everyone was devastated that we had only drawn a difficult away game."

Rodgers in 2014

"Excellent performance"

Lambert in 2014

"We answered our critics"

This team is a ****ing shrivelled dick in a snow storm...

At least people are coming round to the idea that mignolet has been a poor signing and needs to be replaced. Coming around for what the rest of us already knew for a while. And moreno, another goal he was at fault for tonight. Wrong side and he turned his back on the play... Shocking defending. That's at least 3 goals he's been directly responsible for.... And people are surprised when he isn't in the team? Thought lambert, sterling and Gerrard linked up well at times, same team versus Stoke please.

Would he be eligible for the CL, likewise Schuurle?

Obviously Mata is.

Doesn't matter we need them for the league campaign. We havn't a prayer of going far in the CL.

Charlie19

I actually thought that we looked fairly solid tonight going with 4-4--1-1 and we were only really weekend down the left side because of sterling not covering back to help a wandering Johnson.

The wrong subs were made though as the two up front were clearly knackered after about 65/70 minutes.

At least we have a striker that is scoring goals.

Next 3 league games are huge before Utd and Arsenal games.

Gerrard if he is to play every game has to play where he is playing tonight.

where you watching a different game to me? every second touch was a tackle.. fair enough he played Sterling in for a one on one but tbh, he was rubbish..

Joanne has nice child bearing hips in fairness

Gerrard was average at best, lets be honest.

I'd rather him there than at DM tbh. Leave Lucas there and see what happens.

Not sure what was gained by leaving Lambert and Gerrard on for the entire game. Surely both those could have done with replacing with fresher legs for the last 15/20 minutes.

A microcosm of the season really. Crap defending, crap goalkeeping, conceding goals from set-pieces, conceding late goals. It had the whole shebang.

Yes even as a time wasting tactic. Gerard was bet after 70 minutes.
Bring on can.
Bring on Markovic for Sterling. We need a bit of pace up front to pin them back . the minute sterling went off the where able to get forward

Yep he was poor and so off the pace. The most static number 10 you will see. It's sad but he's a waste of a position that coutinho or lallana could fill better.

Gerrard & Lambert as the two most attacking players won't work. Too slow & if we had a better counter attacking threat we would have been 3 or 4-1 up before the equaliser.

in the first half, gerrard was trying to play balls in front of Lambert to run on to

Rodgers ****ed it up IMO. Took the only threating player off and left two over thirties up front?

Can, Lallana or borini should have been on at 60 minutes.

We haven't a hope against Basel IMO.

a hearrr leave it oooout.. we always have a chance

Aye, we have a chance.

Did we deserve that chance?

Hmmm.

It's like they seen the photo from the Chelsea game and said we need more people in the box, but didn't actually say what they should do while in there.

I thought lucas henderson and allen did alright.
FAir play lambert he scores goals.
If we could get johnson out of that team we could be on to some thing.
Need to get Skrtel out of it as soon as sakho is fit.
i would play gerard where he did tonight

Lucas has to start the next three matches so does toure

And that's the Crux of the Problem. Why are we Accommodating him to the Detriment of the Team?

Last I checked, it's Liverpool Football Club and not Gerrard FC.

Cou and Lallana are much better at that Role.

Not to mention, it's much better for the Club to Develop those 2, than trying to Shoehorn an Ageing 34yo, in every which way possible.

noodler

I have to say, that although Gerrard did not play great, that I was much happier with where he was playing.

The mistakes he was making were generally poor touches, not typical Gerrard errors, and so I'd be confident he wouldn't make them often.

But when he plays DMF there is a fundamental problem which he does not have the toolbox to solve.

Much happier to see him get on the ball and actually spray the ball around a bit more.

SlickRic

I'd just like to say again that Rodgers' treatment of Lallana and Moreno is disgraceful.

Francie Barrett

Another scary statistic. We've only won one game in all competitions by more than a single goal this season.

After that performance, the pressure on Rodgers has just ratcheted up another notch.

They are not the first he has a history of treating players like that since he took over at the club.

You'd need to have Markovic on the bench in the first place in order to bring him on though!

#blamegerrad

It's not just a one player issue. The whole team is a bit of a shambles and are trying to build on confidence but are set back by many individual mistakes.

Allen and lucas looked ok tonight but still gave away needless free's, would you trust them against half decent opposition?

Kolo is one of our most experienced players and put in a ok performance but early on in the game he was shouting move up, seconds later after we lost the ball, kolo was 3 or 4 yards deeper than any other defender.

Lucas was very poor for the first goal. If Gerrard had let their midfielder travel 30 yds with the ball I can only imagine the criticism he would be getting in here.
