Really didn't think we would get any thing from todays game but they were great to watch & got a fantastic result.Sterling probably just edged Henderson for MOTM.So what's peoples thoughts on the new CB pairing,Skrtel to be dropped?

Im open to correction but i think rodgers pretty much always keeps the same eleven when they win, i dont see what skrtel would have offered today ahead of sakho and lovren. Hopefully the back 4 remains unchanged, really is an area that doesn't need alot of tinkering.

Maybe he wouldn't gift Spurs the ball numerous times in dangerous positions?

Today was largely a cracking performance & result, but we were still shaky as **** at the back. Sakho continues to be a problem IMO.

31-08-2014 10:26PM

I'd like to see Sakho and Lovern get a good run of games together and develop a partnership.

MOTD2 Liverpool game on now BBC1

Hollister11 · 31-08-2014 10:31PM

Perhaps its my lack of footballing understanding but I just can't understand how people can look at Sakho and think he's better than Skrtel.

I actually think we were more shakey today at centre back than we were against City.

Agent Coulson · 31-08-2014 10:33PM

I can see Sterling and Balotelli going to the Christmas fancy dress as Kid 'n Play.

Because Gerrard is 34 anytime he has a poor half of football people will say his time is up which it's not.

Yep a run of games together is the only way to find out if they can click as a unit.

Today was the first time they played together in a competitive game, so would be pretty idiotic to claim that they are defo going to work or defo will not work on the back of it.

Skrtel looks like he will be out for three to four weeks anyway, so Sakho and Lovern will probably have that long at the very least to show signs that they can work well together.

Defense was a problem today, but Sakho is normally our best defender at passing. Still definite question marks over our defense though, so many individual errors

To be fair, I want to see the same too.

It's sink or swim time for Sakho. People have been making excuses for 6 months for him.

Rodgers on Sterling's run:

"In the box he was like Ricky Villa but his finish was like Ricky Gervais!"

MD1990 · 31-08-2014 10:42PM

Moreno is a huge addition for the team. Someone like him is what we were missing against Chelsea when they defended very narrow. Sterling is an immense talent. Best teenager in the world imo. Manquillo has been excellent too & will only improve as he has had little gametime since his neck injury.

Kess73 · 31-08-2014 10:42PM

Main thing about today is that we got three points, and against a good team that also happens to be a direct rival.

It also gives us some breathing room so that we can go into what is normally a very silly and fun day each season with having a bad result hanging over us.

Our best defender at passing

Just admit it, to date he has not been very good overall

He did have some very bad passes granted but i think we just need to persist with it and see how we go, we have never been solid defensively but skrtel is a common denominator in that so we wont improve anymore defensively with him in it.

MD1990 · 31-08-2014 10:48PM

Some links to Victor Valdes tonight from Paul Joyce(Who is reliable). When fully fit he would be our #1 easily. Hope it happens.

I think he's been ok. Hasn't set the world alight, but it was his first season in England and had some injuries. Had a good world cup, first choice for a France side that have loads of defensive options, like Varane who is one of the best in the world and Mangala who City have just paid £30m for.

He had a very dodgy game today, but the biggest defensive cock-up was Lovren's doing.

That would be a real step up in quality. Hope it happens.

Barely There · 31-08-2014 10:57PM

I think Sakho/Lovern has great potential.
Would like to see them get a good run of games together.
Sakho's a bit of an enigma, flashes of incredible brilliance interspersed with brain-farts.

My gut says he's going to become a beast of a defender.

I'm hoping my gut is right.

Best ship out every player who does not set the world alight after 18 first team games in a year then.:P

Henderson was muck for the best part of his first 40 or so games for the club, now he slots into the first team like he belongs there thanks to the massive effort the player has put in since Rodgers looked to get rid of him.

Lucas had the best part of two seasons being called crap (unfairly for the most part as in his early days with the club he was steady but not spectacular) before coming really good until his injuries over the past few years.

Both Skrtel and Agger had shakey starts to their Liverpool careers in terms of form.

Sakho last season was solid more often than not but he only played 17 games spread over the course of the season so nowhere near enough to figure out whether or not he will settle in. The fact he was out injured twice seems to get overlooked as well. I think it is the fact that he looks ungainly on the ball that has people writing him off more anything he does wrong.

The obvious thing is for him to get an actual steady run of games as part of a settled back four. Then we will find out if he can transfer the form that he showed at PSG and for France to his Liverpool career.

Personally I think he will turn out to be a beast at the back for Liverpool, but he does need to step up his form and perform better than he did today if he is to get there.

Yep it was, and it was another somewhat maligned player that bailed Lovern and the team out after that cock up.
