    But to say they will shape the next decade is a bit too OTT for me.

    True. I'll just be a depressing summer

    Could be that anyway. I still hold the belief that Suarez won't be back from the world cup no matter what is achieved this season. If that happens we would be unlikely to get a replacement until after the qualifiers if at all.

    Most important 12 game stretch since the last 12 games we played.

    I'm not sure where he goes to be honest.

    Two nil down, two one down, Howard Webb is a f#!king clown.


    Apologies its been a long day:-)

    Just saw that tackle. Suarez ruined it for himself IMO. Immediately the ref is choosing between Suarez making a meal of it and Suarez diving.

    The easy option of 'clear contact impeding striker, simple penalty' is taken off the table as soon as Suarez does the double pike.

    It shouldn't make a difference, someone should be able to simply look back at it and award the penno but it doesn't work that way. Suarez suggests he's faking and the ref does the rest cause it's the easier decision.

    I agree though, he is a clown.

    Thought Sterling was excellent again today. And good when moved to right back as well. Seen him play there on the odd occasion.

    Howard Webb wants to be in the limelight. Thats the problem with him. The administrators of the game confuse that with good refereeing.



    I think it's the opposite nearly, he's so afraid to be in the limelight he just bottles it.

    I didn't realise Sturridge was in tears at the after the whistle. Scoring goals means absolutely everything to him in every game.

    Hypothetically, if it were not being offered elsewhere, would you take 80 million for him from Arsenal?

    Webb was never going to give Liverpool two penalties within a few minutes of each other no matter what. I was shocked he gave the first one to be honest.

    Last year I probably would have. Now I wouldn't.

    I'd see why the club would take 80 from Real or Bayern though

    Has to take a large portion of the blame today for me. Yes he is on a great run but Suarez has been moved to accommodate him and is a lot less potent as a result. Sturridge had 3 good chances to score and I reckon Suarez would have put one away.

    Webb didnt have the bottle to give the second penalty just like he didnt have the bottle to give Gerrard a second yellow. Poldolski and Sterling had clear as day yellows as well not given. Hope he doesnt ruin someones world cup.

    Anyway disappointed to be beaten today as another game with Everton would have been a distraction from our run of "12 cup finals" ;-) Dont believe the title is possible but top 3 sure is.

    That sounds eerily close to something Houllier would say.

    Won't pretend like I didn't fancy winning the FA Cup but with a decent performance from the team today I'm still very hopeful of Top 4!

    We played well enough to win the game, didn't take our chances. Still i've seen enough in the last few games to say that we are deffo going in the right direction. Looks like we can beat any team on any given day, hasn't been like that in a while. Onwards and upwards and 3 pts in our next game will help us forget about the cup defeat. Come on you Red men! :pac:

    Why is it OTT to think by not getting CL football might impact on the club over the next 10yrs, if it means losing a player who comes around probably once in a lifetime?

    Suarez staying and giving us his best years could elevate the club, but I fear losing him puts us back circa 2009.

    We were just talking the last day that you never feel like Sturridge is going to miss a chance. Well he missed 3 good ones today. Before today he might have only missed 3 chances the entire season.

    Sturridge was greedy at times today but tbh I don't want to be too critical of the fella, he's been fantastic this season.

    Win v Swansea next week by any scoreline and I'll be happy

    Yep it would help to quickly forget.

    my 13points slippage is still intact.

    12 games to go and still 13points allowed to be dropped with a 96% chance of CL qualification.

    Another good performance from Ilori today, really like the look of him. Great that he is out on loan and getting some regular games at a high level.

    Ilori's passing is excellent
    i think he will be a great CB for us in the future

    Not really...look at Spurs. They have been in and out of the CL places over the last few years. Qualification for the first time hasn't created their path for the following decade.

    They had 'arry in charge though, not really a CL level manager/coach/tactician I would say, if LFC get back in I think they get assemble the talent to retain that place (all other things being equal), even if its at the expense of really trying to challenge in the Champions League at the first go.

    The manager should take the blame for Suarez being somewhat marooned on the right, not Sturridge :)

    Because its an exaggeration, a gross exaggeration.

    Its akin to saying that had we signed a specific player of similar age and ability to Suarez in 2004, it would have affected where we are today.
