    Glen Johnson for the 2nd goal was a disgrace, sauntering back, not even an attempt to make it look like he was busting a gut.

    To think I defended him in the first half.

    Rodgers feeling the pressure a bit now I'd say. This season hasn't been good enough at all so far. First time in his Liverpool career he's getting rightly criticised for actual proper reasons rather than just deciding from the outset they'd criticise him him no matter what until the day he leaves.

    Well Brendan, it's actually been fairly consistent - that's the problem!

    Suarez still not scored for Barca ha!

    So then have we fixed the team yet?

    Season down the pan already, and left with no proper striker once again.

    Well done Brendan.

    Yeah he only assisted the two goals. Useless :)

    We both the wrong halve of their team.


    Even Long, the third choice, now has three goals for them despite a lack of gametime, more than our three combined.

    Soton were playing Leicester it should be noted

    Doesn't inspire confidence does it?

    What's he supposed to say?

    I agree, Schneiderlin, Fonte and Wanyama would have been much more astute purchases.

    I had to go out after it Chelsea just went 2-1 up. Anyone give me a summary of the rest of the game?

    So what? Have we been playing Chelsea every game this season?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,539 ✭✭✭joe123


    One of the most frustrating things is, if you look back at Chelseas game against Maribor I think it was, they scored almost a carbon copy goal from the exact same set piece routine.

    We just look absolutely toothless going forward.

    We blew 130 odd million this summer on absolute ****e. The only two who look decent are Can and Moreno.

    Why did we spend 20 million on Markovich when Ibe has shown just as much if not more in the minutes he has played for us.

    We can't rely on Sterling or indeed Sturridge when hes back to score our goals.

    One other thing, what the hell has happened to our downturn in scoring goals from set pieces?

    We used to score so many from them last year.

    The next four games are very winnable and simply must be picking up 12 points before meeting United.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,983 ✭✭✭✭NukaCola


    Approx 45m of summer signings didn't play one min of todays game. Criminal for a club that needs to work under supposedly tight restrictions.

    Because Markovich showed an awful lot more for Benfica. Give the lad some time ffs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,059 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    I think most frustration comes from the knowledge that Liverpool could and should have bought two experienced players - one for the front and one for midfield. The rest of the anger is regarding Rodgers utter and ongoing failure to shake up a failing approach. To eat humble pie. To drop desperate underperformers like Lovren, Johnson and Gerrard.

    The lack of Lallana is absolutely disgraceful, as was all the 'dropped' players being recalled.

    Rodgers must start winning, and now.

    Yep such knee jerk rubbish.

    Very disappointing from the team & the manager. Mistakes simply are not being learnt from.

    The next few weeks will show us if Rodgers is the real deal or is just a manager who got lucky last year by having a player at the pinnacle of world football pulling him & some of his team mates along for the ride.

    Lallana should be starting ahead of Coutinho every day of the week.

    That doesn't solve our inherent problem though in terms of confidence and coolness, and imo that isTHE problem that is blighting us.

    Its hard to fathom why Lallana has been rotated so much. When you play with a striker like Balotelli, ya need all the creativity you can get on the field behind him. It should be essential to fit the likes of Coutinho, Lallana and Sterling on the same field.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,571 ✭✭✭0byme75341jo28


    I'd give Rodgers another season after this, as long as we don't look like relegation candidates come Christmas.

    I think he is firmly on the 'B team' despite the fact that he has been the most impressive of the summer signings.

    Only QPR, palace, villa, Leicester and burnley have lost more than us this season. We are guaranteed to drop to at least 10th by close of business tomorrow, although it will probably be worse. Things are going bad to worse folks.

    For some reason people have claimed moral victories from today and from the Real game, when the truth is that they both shoulda really battered us but for them taking their foot of the gas and misfiring attackers. Sturridge, for how great he is, will not be enough to save this season.

    Rodgers has 2 weeks to have a good long think about what the fcuk we are upto and going to do. The next 6 fixtures need 6 wins if we are going to do anything this season tbh.

    Sturridge should be back and sakho too (although i doubt he will be used) so no excuses about missing players. Time to get our **** together.
