We are in the biggest of trouble.

I wouldn't go that far, we won, can take some positives from Suso, Lallana and our debut players. I'd rather be in our position than Everton's, Arsenal's or Uniteds. There is certainly work to be done in our defense, and hopefully we won't see Toure again. Also keep in mind that we still haven't played our best team this season.

Could I get a bit more Suso this season please?

Seriously though what does Markovic do? I thought he was a pacey winger but he didn't really try to beat anyone. Had some nice touches.. an awful lot of passes back and 2 great opportunities to shoot where he decided to pass.

I've no problem giving him time but I'm just a little confused at what I'm watching.

He tried pushing the ball past their defenders but then didn't have the pace or power to beat them to it. Am hoping he develops significantly in the next year and learns from Llalanna & Sterling, for the sake of the Transfer Commitee

Delighted for our academy players.

But I am absolutely dreading the champions league games.

Same here . Between the Lodo game and this Boro game we got outta jail .
Better teams will tear our defense to pieces . I hope it's a case of we can only get better , surly we cant play any worse , can we ?

Osmosis Jones · 23-09-2014 10:04PM

I'll be a lot more confident once Sturridge comes back. Him and Balotelli have only played one game together but it was our best game this season. Our best attack is definitely those two up top with Sterling in behind.

rossie1977 · 23-09-2014 10:04PM

what has rodgers got against suso exactly?

the kid showed more in the few minutes on the pitch than the majority of the players he has put out this season and yet he can't even get a start in a league cup game, baffling.

Loved joey batons tweet

" has mingolet got hands under them gloves"

Some great penalty's loved both ballotellis

MR NINE · 23-09-2014 10:05PM

I dont think we played badly tonight. Obviously we were far from our best and lacked a bit of cutting edge up front, but it was our best performance since the spurs game. The cause for concern from tonight was our inability to see the game out. We have absolutely no composure to control a game at the moment.

kingshankly · 23-09-2014 10:06PM

Lalanna played very well again tonight
Look forward to when's he's fully fit

Sooner or Later · 23-09-2014 10:06PM

Patchy performance

Epic penalty shootout

Not sure what we can take from it

8-10 · 23-09-2014 10:07PM

Mario Balotelli's penalty taking reminds me of how Clayton Kershaw pitches, that little jerking motion near the end to put the keeper off, very effective

MD1990 · 23-09-2014 10:07PM

Lambert was terrible tonight. Too slow for us. Lallana,Enrique & Sterling all did well. Rossiter & Wiliams too did well. We need a confidence boosting win on saturday.

Suso might have a good agent.

Us supporters dont always have the ITK info

Chucky the tree · 23-09-2014 10:07PM

I thought Mingolet was actually okay for the 120 minutes. Poor penalty shoot-out though.

It's down to Rodgers to build a team to win the game.
It's no more Lambert's fault than it's Suso's fault that he's not taller.

MR NINE · 23-09-2014 10:10PM

Its a shame if suso is leaving. Di marzio has been reporting it as though its signed and sealed, dont know how reliable he is but I hope hes wrong. Looked very good in his cameo tonight, Im not sure if ever watched him and not been impressed.

Charlie19 · 23-09-2014 10:12PM

Sky sports1 has a good program on now about Liverpool from the 80s

klose · 23-09-2014 10:13PM

The best peno was kolos where he just toe pocked it, none of that placement sh!te

Mr Alan · 23-09-2014 10:13PM

Someone remind me how much we paid for Markovich?

He has a point.

Balotelli is a long long way from world class.

MR NINE · 23-09-2014 10:15PM

It was great to see enrique put in such a good display, he looked very solid in defense and pretty good on the ball. Lallana and sterling both looked very good as well.

Of all our signings, the ones im concerned about are lambert, balotelli and markovic. I know its very early days and Im not gonna write them off but for varying reasons I have fears they wont be succesful signings.

I know ive made my opinions on the signing of lambert clear in the past, and I dont want it to seem like im attacking him, but I thought he was awful tonight. Even when hes playing well I feel his lack of pace and mobility is gonna hurt our attacks.

Knex* · 23-09-2014 10:18PM

Piece of piss, that.

20 million, an average game but lets not get ahead of ourselves.

billymitchell · 23-09-2014 10:19PM

In defence of Lambert tonight, he was made captain of the club he supported as a kid for the first time, after years of knocking around the game, almost all of his career outside the top flight. I'd forgive they guy if the occasion got to him, had to be some experience for the fella.

Roughly 20m pounds. Hes had an underwhelming start. Its very early days though, far too soon to be writing him off. I cant quite explain why but im very confident hes gonna have a bad first season at liverpool. I cant really explain why, just a hunch i guess. Hes still extremely young though, and was bought for the future moreso than the present, so even if my irrational hunch is right, it still doesnt mean he cant be a success for us.

Markovic is only 9 months older than Sterling and coming into a new league. He'll need time.

I would give him time. But it was a cowardly performance from him tonight. He rarely ran at players & wouldn't shoot. Always felt he wasn't a player we needed as we have Sterling & Ibe. I wold have bought a goalscoring wide player instead like Griezmann. The problem is we shouldn't have bought a player who would have required time imo. We needed players who could make an instant impact.

delw · 23-09-2014 10:20PM

We must of practiced penos in training,pity we don't practice defending aswell :P

Are you writing someone off before they've had a chance to unpack again Alan?
