Ridiculous Sturridge wasn't left on to get his hat trick.

He deserved to be yanked off , suarez was in a great position to score but Sturrigde went on his own and got nowhere . It's all well and good Suarez providing the ammo for him but he has to return the favour when Suarez is in a better position then himself .

He should have been pulled when he wouldn't pass to Suarez a few minutes before he came off.

Looked like he wanted the "perfect" hat trick too. Had 2 shots with his right when he could have easily switched to his left.

Twas a bit of fun

Such an open game, we weren't great but we won.

As everyone has pointed out, Allen was great when he came on.

Nah the lad was on a hat trick and was threatening. Not like they were avoiding passing to each other during the game. To take him off for Moses was madness

LuckyLloyd · 23-02-2014 04:37PM

Only 11 more wins required, no hassle.

Allen was playing how the rest of the team play against the big boys. Closing quickly, nipping in that second early, not giving up on anything and playing the simple balls. Why we can't seem to do it for every game is beyond me.

Tbf to Allen he always plays like that. Like Lucas, he does the dirty work for the team and rarely gets the plaudits for it.

Could not be the perfect hat rick as Hendo scored between his 1st and 2nd goal

Paulegend · 23-02-2014 04:39PM

sturridge really needs to start helping suarez as much as suarez helps him. skrtel was awful today. its like he single handedly tried to lose the game. maybe he was caught out with agger trying to get match fit and gerrards positioning being a little off still for that role. anyway onwards and upwards. sometimes you need to grind a win and other seasons we would have drawn that game

Fowler87 · 23-02-2014 04:39PM

**** it i'll take Sturridge being greedy if he keeps up his sensational scoring form. Incredible player

EDIT: 41 goals scored between the 2 now with the team top scorers in the league. Loving the greed :cool:

joe123 · 23-02-2014 04:40PM

This sums up my feelings after that.

citytillidie · 23-02-2014 04:40PM

Southampton next week then a two week break to work on that defence ahead of going to Man Utd

If that were true, which I don't believe it is, then the manager should have the strength to keep picking him regardless. When Lucas was in his early days he got loads of stick but Benitez stayed strong and continued to play him.

Seriously enough just ENOUGH of this stuff! :mad:

Lucas might be back for the next game which is against Soton who will MURDER us on the counter if we see this shambles again. Thankfully if Liverpool survive that there is a two week break after which hopefully Suarez will be recharged - he is clearly running on fumes by the end of games.

MotD2 Extra had the Sunderland game down as before United, was it rescheduled?

PL site has it down for the 10th.

Edit: Nope, that's the old date, still no new date confirmed.

klose · 23-02-2014 04:42PM

Most points we've ever had at this stage of the season ever apparently

Agueroooo · 23-02-2014 04:43PM

It must be absolutely fűcking horrible and torturous wanting us to lose these days.

cause if it feels like this after we win

also my 13points slippage is still intact with 11 to play

NukaCola · 23-02-2014 04:43PM

Our defending is at times absolutely terrible. Big win today. I wouldn't mind the odd 1-0 win though, the nerves are shot.

I thought it was just left, right and head? I suppose it makes sense though.

Why? Did you think Johnson was poor? I thought he was ok, and would prefer him to Cissohko in general

Thought it he was fine too. Especially in the context of it being his first game back after an extended period out.

I always like him on the left actually. Seems to defend better.

A 1-0 win would probably be just as nervy I'd imagine!

BoardsMember · 23-02-2014 04:46PM

Only look nervy when they come baxk. They only come back when we take the foot off thinkibg we have it won. Only happens against sides we think we should beat particularly at home.

Agent Coulson · 23-02-2014 04:46PM

From Twitter it made me laugh

Imagine how many goals Liverpool's attack would score against Liverpool's defence?

A single goal lead is always nerve wrecking whether its 1-0 or 6-5.

Its like we've gone back 100 years in time, playing 2-3-5 and scoring and conceding for fun.

Shankly Gates · 23-02-2014 04:48PM

Never in doubt :pac:

smileyj1987 · 23-02-2014 04:49PM

billy2012 · 23-02-2014 04:49PM

I enjoy some of these tough games where we haven't been playing our best but dig in deep to get the win. Stoke, Fulham, Swansea.

Too many times this season have we been destroying teams 2-0,3-0,4-0 and 5-0 and it's just to easy.

(Don't get me wrong, I'd love love destroying teams, especially Spurs, Everton Arsenal etc)

monkey9 · 23-02-2014 04:50PM

Our defense is sh!t, we all know that and it's not going to change for the remaining eleven games. I will happily take eleven 4-3 wins and the heart attacks that ensue.

But we need to concentrate on defence when it comes to the summer transfer window. We need some quality centre backs and even bring in a defensive coach if needs be to work in conjunction to how we want to play as an attacking force.

Ardent · 23-02-2014 04:50PM

My god, that was such a frustrating game to watch! We were a defensive shambles.

Thought Gerrard was poor, showed very little aggression and provided zero protection for the back four. Mignolet looks very unsure most of the time. Skrtel and Agger didn't work as a parnership, and Rodgers obviously felt he needed to remedy that.

Good job we score loads of goals - we can't defend to save our lives!

Vanolder · 23-02-2014 04:50PM

Skertel has to go, a total liability. Agger isn't much better.

Great resolve I suppose to win it in the end, but Swansea, as others have also found, had great joy through the middle today.

Agent Coulson · 23-02-2014 04:51PM

Flanagan Skrtel Sakho Cissokho has to be the back 4 if all are fit for the last games.
