Lallana has done decent since the summer. But 25m for somone who tires as quick as he does is way overpriced.

Does anyone listen to the daytrippers podcast? I listened to it a few times last season and didn't really like it but they always slated Lucas more than anyone else at the club. If anyone is listening to them this season have they changed their tune about him at all? I don't want to listen as a few of Irish lads on there annoyed me a bit, but interested to see if they have backtracked.

Super-Rush

Lucas is back.

Definitely been a positive in the past couple of games. Low scoring Sunderland should be there for the taking at the weekend.

Nice one, lets win again on Saturday!

Rarely lasted beyond 70 mins at Soton either. Not sure what his issue is.

Gerrard & Sturridge could really work well when he is back. We still badly need more players to run in behind.

Was strange seeing gerrard running onto through balls again, its been a while since hes been doing that.

Did Gerrard say in an interview that he had nothing to sign (in reference to a contract)? I didn't see the post match stuff but saw something on twitter about it.

I barely stopped myself shouting at him constantly that there was nobody at DM.

Mr Alan

He said nothing to talk about, ie. no resolution.

Can we please try & buy Cech in Jan?

Sir Gallagher

I just cant get excited about this squad whatsoever.

He said nothing to Say yet on contract and didnt want to give a story that would distract anything from a good liverpool win.

I know Borini isn't a world beater but it seems strange for Rodgers to freeze out a player that he bought and spoke so highly off.

Stupid Andy Heaton.

He said 'say' oh sound. Sorry, my bad, watching and listening on half volume trying pay attention in a meeting!

Toure & Lucas need to be the first names on the team sheet every game.

Grim. True, but grim.

Yup Lambert is our only fit striker and Borini still sits it out? Bizarre.

BMJD

It's odd that Tourés season was effectively curtailed for his brainfart against West Brom last season when Mignolet and Johnson have been consistently poor, to put it mildly, over the intervening period.

Piece of piss that!

MR NINE

I suggested a while ago that i felt the best way to solve our defensive ****ness was to focus on the man in front of the back four and the man behind the back four rather than the back four itself. It would appear half of that problem has been solved, and is giving us a double bonus as gerrard offers a goal threat that very few of our other attackers do. Im very happy to see him being used further up the field, and im delighted for lucas. Mignolet has to be replaced in jan, no two ways about it. He is nowhere near good enough. Cech would be a dream signing.

Liverpool this season in all comps with Lucas: WWLWWLWDWW (7W, 1D, 2L) Without: LWLDLWLDLLL (2W, 2D, 7L)

Wow - Very solid stats to back up his inclusion in the side. His pressing and doggedness should not have been so essential against a limited side tonight, but he was our MOTM in my opinion.

Sterling had a fantastic game and took so much pressure off our defence by retaining possession, winning free-kicks. He looked physically drained in 2nd half but kept going - his attitude should be an exemplar for his team mates.

Moreno seemed out of sorts but I like the cut of his gib and I'm confident he will learn from his mistakes and by next season will look more comforrtable in the team.

Lallana had the wind knocked out of him and didn't recover from that incident, but his finish alone shows what he brings to the team. Himself and Coutinho are very similar players and there won't be many games when we can accommodate both of them, would prefer Lalla in away games.

Whats the craic with Borini?

As a team we still dont seem co-ordinated without the ball, Leicester found it so easy to work the ball in to their front men even with a man down. If not for the sending off I think we'd have drawn that game so lets count our blessings and move on!

If they don't it could be a lot worse than 7th or 8th. Sadly with the squad thats there.

It may all goes back to his childhood illness - ulcerative colitis for two years and an irregular heartbeat.

Agent Coulson

Lambert is also doing what he was bought for 4 games 2 goals and 2 assits for a 3rd-4th choice striker when called upon.
