Thank Christ Benteke is still injured. Twice he played at Anfield and twice he absolutely tore our defence to pieces.

With Sakho and Lovren about though there is more physicality to deal with him though.

He's not playing though so no need to deal with him

Roll on 2.30m. Mary Jane is trying to put me to sleep. This is hard work.

Ya I know that but I wouldn't be as worried about him now as I would have been say two years ago.

I don't think any team would be too worried about him now. A bad achilles injury like his is usually the beginning of the end for a footballer. He won't be the same player when he comes back, which is an awful shame, since he could have gone right to the top.

They just got "tonked" 4-2! As good as Chelsea are up front with Costa they are letting goals in. That's 5 in the last two games as I type.

Spurs look as dodgy as they did under previous management, Everton winning but only playing WBA who are looking like a shoe in for relegation.

If we let in 1 goal for the 2 we score ill take that for the rest of the season.

Defending is over rated anyway. :pac:

PropJoe10 · 13-09-2014 04:14PM

Another chance for Lovren and Sakho to show Rodgers that they are the best two centre-backs for the season. Hope they take it.

Fall asleep with Mary Jane?

You lucky bastard.

Not a bad image to see first when opening the Liverpool thread:)

klose · 13-09-2014 04:42PM

Fair to say lovren has not had a great start with us, poor from sakho too

Harry Palmr · 13-09-2014 06:11PM

Well that was just frustrating. A lot of new faces didn't help but Rodgers AGAIN playing the wrong formation and for no obviously good reason.

Cant see Sterling getting rested in his current form. No Sturridge up front, if we gave Markovic/Lallana/Balotelli all starts without Sterling we'd have teething issues imho. I could be totally wrong of course, but Villa give us problems at Anfield

By all means haul him off if we could kill it off early and ditto for the game Tuesday but i certainly wouldnt rest him by not starting him, have to rest him by subbing early. Well thats my view anyway.

Sadly, i was right on this.

He has shown on a number of occasions that he can be tactically naive. That was absolutely diabolical. Three out of four games we have been awful; the only reason we beat Spurs is because they are oul'ones who fold easily.

Plenty needs to happen soon or this will be a disastrous season. We will be lucky to finish top 6 at this rate. ****ing fuming at that performance.

5starpool · 13-09-2014 06:20PM

You look forward to a game for nearly 2 weeks, and then get served up with that tripe.

Rubbish. 3 poor performances from 4 games, things need to get a bit more cohesive soon you'd think.

klose · 13-09-2014 06:21PM

That was depressing, god awful stuff. Useless formation that doesn't work at all for us.

I am pie · 13-09-2014 06:22PM

very poor, naive to drop sterling , some awful awful performances.

Team is not in shape, more worrying we lacked heart today.

angry more than disappointed.

on the money, played like strangers. There is no point to Borini. None. Lambert was never going to win us a point.

Fowler87 · 13-09-2014 06:24PM

I know we're gonna have teething problems with all these new additions but that was awful limp performance. 1 shot on target says it all. 6 points off the top already:(

Steady on.

Utopia Parkway · 13-09-2014 06:25PM

Looked like a team that didn't really know each other. Practically a replay of the Villa game last year. Only worse.

viper006 · 13-09-2014 06:25PM

Very worried by that defeat and the utter lack of ideas from our new signings. Its the same old terrible defending but without the magic from Suarez to save us.

You can see when chelsea bought fab and costa and arsenal bought sanchez when you buy top quality you get players that hit the ground running. How we ended up with borini and lambert leading line when trying to save a point simply isnt good enough. Alot of new faces in the team today that cost alot of money and we barely registered a shot on taget. so poor its unreal

Benimar · 13-09-2014 06:25PM

I'm a Rodgers fan but the decision to drop Sterling with Sturrîdge already out was just stupid.

We haven't played well with 4-3-3 all season. Surely it wasn't just me could see Lallana and Markovic off EARLY for Sterling and Lambert and a change to the diamond was the move to make?

IamtheWalrus · 13-09-2014 06:26PM

Keane will have enjoyed that.

Raif Severance · 13-09-2014 06:26PM

Frustrating to watch.

Once again our Defense conceded a Poor Goal.

There wasn't any part in that Game, that you'd think we'd Score.

Fescue · 13-09-2014 06:26PM

Villa have had our number for a while now at Anfield. Deserved their victory for their defensive display.

Sakho's lack of ability on the ball gave away a cheap corner. How often do you see mistakes like that get punished.

donfers · 13-09-2014 06:26PM

No Suarez or Sturridge to bail us out with a bit of magic today - when we concede the first goal and a team just sits back we don't have a clue

bodyblow of a result

Grayditch · 13-09-2014 06:27PM

How class is that Markovic lad!

Mr Alan · 13-09-2014 06:27PM

Shocking stuff. Really really poor. The worst we've seen since something from Hodgson's era.

Sakho & Lovren have to improve really quickly or else we need go back into the market for a decent CB in Jan because despite spending over €40m on those two players & Johnson being out (he was apparently was the cause of many of our ills), we're worse than ever defensively

People in here spoke about Coutinho being as good as any similar player in the league, including the likes of Silva

So cringeworthy

murpho999 · 13-09-2014 06:27PM

Think Rodger's just got it wrong today.

Worrying thing for me was how toothless wee were up front. Total lack of creativity gave Villa keeper very little to do.

Still wish Borini was sold as well.

Ah here, leave it out.
