    Fair enough.

    I'd rather give him a break myself than run him into the ground. Because he looks bolloxed. And with Sturridge scoring, the opp is there.

    I think we have one game in the next 3 weeks. Give him a couple of days off training.

    Everyone will get two weeks off after Soton game so play him for that and hope a rest will serve him well for the 10 games that remain.

    Lots of that Spurs team won't want to be sticking around without CL football next season. I'd be happy to take Vertonghen and Lloris off their hands.

    Tie him to the bed for the two weeks before the United game and just unleash him on the morning of the game.

    Thought Joe Allen did really well yesterday. Got in their faces, broke up play and was pretty accurate with his passing.

    5 tackles made 5 tackles won.
    Gerrard only made 1 tackle yesterday, wouldnt have thought that.

    and if the rumours are to be believed then Vertonghen aint a happy camper.

    They wont sell Lloris to a rival. That's just not going to happen unless they get a 40 million offer or something.

    Vertonghen would be gettable but I'm not sure if he's that much better than what you have.

    We are strong favourites, yes, but momentum can change easily. I certainly wouldn't write Spurs off yet.

    I might be a bit mad here but fe@k it. Does anyone think Flanaghan might be able to do a bit of a job in a defensive minded midfield berth, something like what Lahm is doing now at Bayern.
    Very cool headed on the ball, has a nice eye for a pass(crossing needs a lot of work) and generally can do ok in a quick passing system.
    Would fit in nicely with Rodgers predilection for playing players out of position ala Dwoning at left back and Doni in goal.
    What mad fekker would put Doni in goals:D

    Agree with this, a couple of results go the wrong way, and we are back in a dog fight for fourth rather than looking up at top position

    Imagine how furious Suarez would be if he was rested? Imagine the stick Rodgers would get if he did it and we lost, especially with 1 if not 2 free weekends coming up over the next 6 weeks, even though those games would obviously be rescheduled.

    It's great to be able to look up, and we should be, but there are more twists and turns to go yet for sure.

    I dont think Suarez needs to be rested. As you say fairly long breaks coming up and he didnt play the 1st 6 games of the season - he has played 26 times for Liverpool this season - he should be well able for that and more. I think he is just going through a bit of scoring lull and is getting frustrated.

    Still playing well though and instead of just topping the scoring charts he now tops the assists charts too.

    If we were to get some points from the next two games (Southampton and Man U away) I will be a lot more confident. Those are two difficult games and if we were to say only pick up one draw from those games then it will back to being pretty tight again.

    I'm nearly more worried about those games than I am playing Chelsea and Man City at home because I am fairly confident we will perform in those games at Anfield.

    the couple of weeks break coming up is a good thing imo.

    others might not see it that way like risk losing our momentum or something, but they way I see it is we have rode our luck the last two games.

    any chance we have to get that defence sorted on the training pitch the better.

    lets hope we close out the season like last year, as we came pretty good in the final games.

    I certainly agree with that. He is unlucky not to have bagged a couple in recent games, but if he continues to set up goals we won't complain too much. I don't think he looks particularly tired anyhow personally.

    Midweek set of fixtures but we miss out on a game too because of Sunderland in the league cup so we've a bigger gap than most,

    At least I think so

    Massive win yesterday coupled with the spurs loss but being only six points ahead of them and having to play spurs, I definitely wouldn't be writing them off.

    Delighted that Henderson got on the score sheet yesterday, he's an absolute beast and that showed with his burst into the box for his second, I never thought the player would be a success at Liverpool and now he would be in my top five most valuable players in the team.

    I think we've made a significant error selling Shelvey. He should have been loaned out for the season. He is probably worth a lot more than we sold him for now (~£10m or so) and has plenty to offer in either central midfield or behind the strikers.

    Could see him moving to Everton/Tottenham if not this summer then the following season.

    Id say it was more of a case of shelvey wanting to leave more then anything, think it was right to let him go imo. Its no coincidence his two best games were against us either, always seems to be the case when players face old clubs, i was certain ngog would score the equaliser too :pac: hes not disciplined enough really for the style we play nor for were we want to go.

    Off because of the FA Cup, but same difference really.

    Saturday was the 1st time ever that I didn't even bother keeping an eye in on the United score. Strange times!

    This Shelvey debate is going to pop up every time he has a good game.

    Always looked a liability for us and was never of the standard we need to be looking at. Only role he would play is the 'how the f*ck has he got a league medal role'...which could be important as all recent league winners seem to have them.
