Utd found themselves at an edge of a cliff and made a decision this year with a big name manager to try address it. Time will tell if it works. Moyes inherited a poisoned chalice and was doomed to fail. A couple of years without CL for utd would make life difficult. Money does not always bring real talent.

So what brings in talent? You just said for Liverpool to win the leauge they need to stay in the cl and bring in top players.

Whuch is complete bollox

Because your wrong?

One point off fourth. Three points off third. Still plenty of room for improvement.

Very good article on some of Rodgers comments this season. He is still an excellent manager but alot of his comments lately have been poor & trying to take pressure of himself rather than the players

Aye. Poster with 360 in his name accuses other poster of going in circles. I love Sunday nights here.

I need about 350.....

(tree fitty!)

Morning all - a win is a win, back on track, Danny back for the next games, Lallana getting better and better, and squad players returning (GlenJo, Enrique, Allen & Can soon).

It's all good.

Rodgers also playing 'he's still injured' card. Smart move.

Enrique is already back, played the 90 against Basel and was muck (but then who wasn't!)

ITS FVCKING LOAN WATCH!

Texieria - Full game in 1-1 away draw between Watford and Brighton & HA
Wisdom - loan tied for WBA
Alberto - Unused sub for Malaga in 2-1 home win
Ibe - played 65 mins in 0-0 game for Derby - carded for a dive!
Origi - Played full game scoring goal in 1-1 away draw to Wolfsburg midweek plays tomorrow in league
Smith - Unused sub for Swindon Town (just back from injury)
Ilori - Injured after 27 mins of Bordeaux game - hamstring
Ossiadi - Came on at 18 mins as sub in 1-3 defeat to Sunderland
Coates - no game for Sunderland

Cheers! Any sign of Aspas, or do we ever care?

No surprise that Alberto isn't getting many starts, unfortunately.
Tex is still getting plenty of minutes though, but I think Origi and Ilori are the only 2 who will come back to a place in the 18. Ibe still needs another season.

I actually thought he was one of our better players on the night.
So yeh, I know he was back, but just talking recent positives...

Sorry yeah re-read and know what you meant now. His first half was a disaster, really opened us up to attacks down that side, I was watching him closely the first half and defensively he was poor, which is uncharacteristic for him but again he's coming back from injury

I posted last week, I think we might see him as a LW occasionaly, to lock up that side more against attacks, particularly for the Real games. He does link well in attack, and gives us a lot of energy up and down the wing. And Moreno had been caught upfield on a few occasions recently, where we have conceded...

Also.. on the loan watch. Isn't Coates injured?

I'm not aware he is injured, I'll have a look.

No prem football for two weeks - thank god!

tok9 · 06-10-2014 09:28AM

For some reason I thought he was meant to be out for a few weeks.

Harry Palmr · 06-10-2014 09:38AM

Yep you are right, thigh strain.

Fescue · 06-10-2014 10:34AM

I see Rodgers is waxing lyrical about Gerrard's cameo as a number 10 on Saturday.

Hopefully he plays there from now on as opposed to playing as the deep lying midfielder. Could be a very clever move.

Aspas? he definitely isn't coming back so who cares?! Alberto is getting some reasonable game time. Six matches and 366 minutes in the league.

Yea and for all the match fixing

the most memorable being Liverpool vs united when it ended in a 3 all draw and he pulled off a spectacular save trying to jump the opposite way and the ball hit his foot supposedly

He was never convicted of those allegations made by the S*N due to lack of evidence iirc

benny79 · 06-10-2014 11:08AM

I always taught he was! you sure? you never hear or see him around the club or at matches. I Didn't think it was the sun that broke the story either sure was he not caught on tape admitting it! such a long time ago I cant remember.

Dickerty · 06-10-2014 11:21AM

Wiki -

On 10 November 1994, Grobbelaar was accused by the British tabloid newspaper The S*n of match fixing during his time at Liverpool to benefit a betting syndicate, after being caught on videotape discussing match-fixing. He was charged with conspiracy to corrupt.

Grobbelaar pleaded not guilty, claiming he was only gathering evidence with the intent of taking it to the police. After two successive trials, in both of which the jury could not agree on a verdict, he and his co-defendants were cleared in November 1997. Grobbelaar later sued The Sun for libel and was awarded £85,000. The Sun appealed, and the case was eventually taken to the House of Lords where it was found that, though the specific allegations had not been proved, there was adequate evidence of dishonesty. The Lords slashed his award to £1, the lowest libel damages possible under English law, and ordered him to pay The Sun's legal costs, estimated at £500,000. Grobbelaar was unable to pay the costs and was declared bankrupt.

I wonder how we was unable to pay 500K after his career? All his money conveniently held elsewhere I hope?

I just noticed how badly Dortmund are doing - I am sure Hummels and Bender are unhappy with it.....

(Reus being injured, I can't say much...)
