Are you sayign we handed over 16 mil to an agent for a one-year loan? Find that hard to believe, even by Liverpool standards.

Did you read ithe link?

From what Castles say his agent bought Balotelli contract off Milan so he own the contract outright so no 3rd party ownership and then he loand him to Liverpool for a small fee and if it worked out Liverpool would buy him at the end of the season. The same as if he was on loan from a club.

If it doesn't work out the agent is free to find another club and sell him on keeping the transfer fee like a selling club would.

Tony Evans now say on twitter a lot of Journo's heard the same thing but wouldn't print it in case of legal action.

Evans of cousre has agenda's as plenty on here will tell you.

Lets hope Lovren has a stormer today. Johnson too. We are really missing John Flanagan at the moment. Not something I ever thought I'd say!

The midfield on paper at least is strong, the attacking line up can cause real damage too if Balo is bothered today.

I'm admittedly disappointed for Kolo. Lucas too but realistically he was never getting the nod today over Gerrard. I wouldn't have minded seeing Enrique over Moreno either as the latter still looks green as fcuk. He could have a costly mare today

Agent Coulson · 08-11-2014 12:19PM

I have a feeling Gerrard will take a lot of pot shots from everywhere trying to score a screamer.

Rodgers is in a tough position now, he was getting slated for fielding a 'League Cup' side last night, now that they did ok everyone wants him to keep some of those players in! So if he goes for the regulars again he will get slated, tough business that managerial lark, when you have so many have-a-go managers out there.

Yup!

Some posters really showing themselves up the last few weeks.

I think this is crap. Different posters fact in different ways to things happening at the club. There's no template for reacting so to suggest that people are "showing themselves up" is BS.

Just thinking about it, this game is absolutely huge for Johnson.

He's been dropped from the England squad, no one seems to particularly rate him and against his former team.

If we can't get a performance out of Johnson today we never will.

I have no interest in going through loads of posts. Just see one such comment below. Some posters have truly lost it.

Do you think Johnson and Lovren deserve to start?

Johnson and Manquillo is a coin toss at the minute. Marcelo destroyed Manquillo the other night.

Toure is unlucky to miss out, but he had one good game so wouldn't be getting carried away.

I'd be giving Rodgers the benefit of the doubt and waiting until 90 mins before slating his selection.

djPSB · 08-11-2014 12:57PM

Costa with the equaliser soon.

Gerrard getting caught the legs when Chelsea run at us.

Agent Coulson · 08-11-2014 01:03PM

15 mins in and Gerrard doesn't have the legs after been rested midweek.

Pyjamarama · 08-11-2014 01:04PM

Gerrard is done. Its sad to say it but the evidence is inarguable at this stage. Gets caught so often.

Agent Coulson · 08-11-2014 01:12PM

Gerrard & Johnson should be nowhere near first team starters.

Turtyturd · 08-11-2014 01:13PM

All Gerrard brings is that he gets a bit of leeway from the refs at this stage.

Fowler87 · 08-11-2014 01:27PM

Toure must feel awful hard done by that Lovren has started ahead of him. Shaky as a bag of marbles and has terrible passing.

Johnson been one of our better players today.

Harry Palmr · 08-11-2014 01:34PM

Gerrard simply might as well not be on the pitch.

MD1990 · 08-11-2014 01:35PM

Johnson has improved in the last 15 was very poor in the first 30. Gerrard,Henderson & Lovren have been poor.Can,Coutinho & Sterling have done well.

He blocks 2/3 shots so he is one of our better players that is all he has done noteworthy.

Doesn't take much to be one of our best player season though.

Dead right, he is the only defender that has not looked clueless.
Still prefer Manquillo at RB.
Gerrard and Henderson have been terrible. And why the hell is Lovren constantly putting Mignolet under pressure with his passes?

He blocked two shots that were clear goal scoringscoring opportunities.

Midfield is redundant and not linking defence and attack at all.

Gerrard is being well marked so others need to step up.

Fowler87 · 08-11-2014 01:39PM

The problem with Johnson though even in his better performances he'll be still prone to rash defensive mistakes. That tracking back tackle on Hazard a perfect example.

Need to settle back into this, half ended at good time. Well in this though

Gerrard isn't being marked by anyone!

He just isn't up to it.

Pyjamarama · 08-11-2014 01:40PM

I don't think we've been as bad as some on here think. Tho the last 10 mins we were dominated. But up to that point we were ok. This is a very very good Chelsea team.

Our midfield is finding loads of space but we've barely been able to string a couple of passes together.

Henderson needs to be benched. Unfortunately so do Gerrard and Allen.

To 'let themselves down' though, they'd have to veer from their generally supportive mantra. With the poster you quoted, that's not the case. People should be entitled to vent, as has been the case.
The way Lovren has played in the first half, having been 'rested' on Tuesday night, expect more venting. And rightly so.

Are you watching the game at all. Oscar is pretty much sitting on him.

Allen is on the bench.
