On a thread related note lads coutinho is a little gem.. plays lovely football was ir rodgers that scouted him?

Think so, well he'd a say anyway. Read an article recently quoting Rodgers saying we'd looked at him a couple of times and then the chance came to get him. I can't recall if anybody else was seriously after him.

Liverpool FC home game with Sunderland postponed

Sunderland's FA Cup quarter-final means the Reds must reschedule Anfield game
Raheem Sterling and Luis Suarez

The Reds' home clash with Sunderland, originally scheduled for 10 March, has been postponed.

It comes after the Black Cats confirmed their involvement in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 1-0 win over Swansea on Saturday.

A date for the new game at Anfield is yet to be announced.

Liverpool had also hoped to be participating in the FA Cup last eight, but were undone by Arsenal on Sunday.

That 2-1 defeat ensures they will have a weekend off in the second week of March, meaning they may have a fortnight's rest before their trip to Old Trafford on 16 March.

Looooong wait for the Utd game. They'll probably head off to Dubai or something.

No harm, any light injuries will have that much longer to heal.

*two weeks without a game*

I am kidding of course about Sturridge and the performance was a good one especially away from home and added to being 2-zip down it was great that we still expected!

As for Coutinho, its been an up and down season for him, he has been excellent in the Everton/Arsenal games in particular but yesterday i think he was very hot and cold. He served up a few delightful through balls that should have lead to goals BUT he was also very guilty of giving the ball away alot and thats on top of the 2-3 cross field balls that were intercepted. I'll give credit to Arsenal on that though and to Wenger too - he had Flamini and Arteta watching him like a hawk making life difficult, not helped either by BR who went to a back 3. I love the guy, he is a much valued player but i would ask anyone to go back and watch the game to concentrate on him.

... of course being critical, but i am still not happy Br made that adjustment. We were doing fine in the formation that we were in, all of a sudden we were inacapable of getting out of our own half by playing 3 back.

Yeah that was a strange change of tactics, hauling Sterling back into our own half too, although I suppose he was looking a little jaded after 70 mins. Maybe Bren thought he might overlap and stretch them further.. its one thing i have been impressed by, the intent to use the full width of the pitch offensively in order to space out the oppo's defence, resulting in 1 on 1's all across the front line.

True enough, we can't really complain about fixture pile ups!

Good job Sturridge was crying ... must have been sick he missed our best 3 chances. Very surprised at him.

Haven't seen it mentioned as a possible reason for him crying at the end, but, as well as losing the game & getting knocked out of the cup, he missed out on breaking Aldo's record of scoring in 8 games in a row.

Aldo, in his newspaper article yesterday, was at pains to point out his record is 9 games in a row. Scored in the last game of the season and the first 8 of the next season!

Could the game be scheduled for March 4th/5th?

Something has definitely changed in the mindset here.

A defeat at the weekend and no Monday Meltdown.

Good to see as yesterday could easily have gone the other way.

mike65 · 17-02-2014 09:29PM

Cup games are no biggie. Lose or even draw against Swansea and you'll sense a different vibe.

Deep down, we all feel the same I think. Nobody is all that pushed about the cup in comparison to the league. If we had taken a hiding yesterday then a lot of people would have given out about it but there was nothing wrong with the performance, if we had a different ref, we would have at least gotten a replay.

Well I would argue that the cup is still quite big and it would be great to challenge for a cup this year but they went down fighting and we're now freed up to focus on the league

For me it's just nice to be good to watch, competitive, and most importantly feared and relevant again.

Also, saw comments earlier about feeling pity for Utd. Feck that, I wallow in their misery.

We can always play which FIFA 14, Football Manager which £40 million players we can bring into the club and how well they will play out of position for us because we are going to buy them all in the summer.

Just need to banish this recurring thought that Spurs are gonna sneak fourth.
So we may need to get third !

I gander in there every once in a while and literally the same transfer wish lists and wacky formations/line ups always pop up, utterly deluded.

gafferino · 17-02-2014 10:39PM

There's no Monday meltdown because we went to Emirates, were the better team and robbed of a stone wall penalty. No shame in that loss, **** happens in sport.

Also we are going to win the league.

osnola ibax · 17-02-2014 10:49PM

Kind of glad to be out of the cup tbh, big feckin energy sapping derby match avoided aswell.

Every game is going to be like a cup final now, you saw how hardFulham tried to beat us, it's gonna be so difficult to get fourth, not to mention further ambitions

Grayditch · 17-02-2014 10:58PM

I'd like to have won the F.A cup so we can play ourselves in the Charity Shield.
