    Fair play to Sterling not rising to some questions :)

    Good interview from Gerrard there

    Sterling is far too important to us, it's frightening.

    His quick thinking made the first, his thrust opened QPR for the second, and his pace made the third.

    don't get me started on our defending of balls into the box. it's somehow getting worse.

    From what I've seen thus far, Balotelli's career will go the way of David Bentley. Undoubtedly talented, but without a good attitude and work ethic it's never going to work.

    But yeah. Any high ball into our box we just fall apart.

    I don't think my heart is going to take Tuesday. QPR, bottom of the league, turning our back into headless chickens. Lads. :o

    Imagine what you'll be like on Wednesday when we play :p

    Just wondering, if I throw a fiver on a clean sheet against Madrid, I'd be set for life if it came in, right?

    Blessed to get 3 points. But we got 3 points- at the moment, nothing else matters. Sturridge ge badly needs to return/ performances will improve eventually.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,309 ✭✭✭slingerz


    God that was dreadful

    Why not start Moreno??

    I'm beginning to think Rodgers needs to play with no striker, because Balotelli on his own is just terrible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,317 ✭✭✭kevohmsford


    What a roller coaster of a game. Balotelli had a very poor game. Allen and Coutinho should have come on earlier. Cannot believe we got the 3 points.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,567 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    I said it yesterday, Steven Gerrard, false 9.
    What's the worst that could happen? Best finisher at the club after Sturridge.

    He and the team were terrible when he was playing further forward. We were much better second half when he dropped back.

    Longer Rodgers ignores our defensive mess, the more faith i am loosing in him. QPR showed zero attacking nouse today, and we looked shambolic at the back.
    Only for Mig and Skrtel today, we would have lost by 2-3 goals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,303 ✭✭✭✭klose


    I know I said the other day it hurts my head to see people writing off players so early but Lovren looks the 2nd worst waste of money on a player since Andy Carroll.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,072 ✭✭✭Tipsy McSwagger


    How in the fcuk did Ballotelli play the whole 90 minutes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,953 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic

    Lambert is the other option up there.

    Didn't you see the first half? QPR weren't just lobbing balls into the box. The completely dominated the game.

    Did they score in the first half? It's the ball in the box that seems to have Liverpool ****ting themselves.

    That said, with Enriques turning circle maybe running at him will be effective. :P

    We were quite wasteful in fairness, any proper striker on the pitch would of had us home and hosed by 70 mins.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,043 ✭✭✭✭citytillidie


    Big get out of jail free card, it seemed the players turned up expecting QPR not to try. defending has been a joke now for a while and nothing has been done about it

    ******

    He certainly couldn't be worse and at least he'd care

    Same could be said for QPR!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,207 ✭✭✭✭Utopia Parkway


    Sterling and Coutinho pulled that one out of the fire for Liverpool. Virtually by themselves.

    The defence is just horrendously bad. When opposition players can juggle the ball on their head in your penalty area you know there are major problems back there.

    Watching Ballotelli play up front by himself makes me wish we had signed Remy. Even if they found he had Ebola during his medical.

    Balotelli.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,438 ✭✭✭livinginkorea


    Mario's big miss earlier in the half nearly cost us dearly. Big let off for us. Good to see us scoring at the end of the game but we have to be more clinical so that we can finish teams off. We are huffing and puffing too much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,740 ✭✭✭Fowler87


    ****ing blessed we were to win that today. Could be massive 3 points

    Our defence has gotten worse & worse over the last 2 years & we seem totally powerless to eradicate the utter clownishness. Very worrying.
