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

    If you think Gerrard and Johnson are up to it I have to ask you if you are watching the game.

    If you really think Johnson is one of the better players we really aren't watching the same game.

    Allen is on the bench. :confused:

    Yeah, I meant that he's not on option to come on because he's playing so **** at the moment.

    So we don't have much left after that.

    Lallana needs bringing on asap. Game today is made for player like him.

    Didn't say they were up to it.

    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.
    Manquillo will get a lot of game time but Johnson is still first choice. He is only 20 and Johnson will miss a fair number of games with injury, suspension and resting. We were complaining about Insua being overplayed so I would hope we wouldn't do the same to Manquillo.

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

    Will be amazing if we get enough possession in their half to make this happen

    To 'let themselves down' though, they'd have to veer from their generally supportive mantra.

    According to you, I'm not going to go into the definition of letting yourself down. I'll leave it at that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Rodgers looks totally lost!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,426 ✭✭✭mosstin


    Allen and Borini for Can and Coutinho??? Seriously.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭Lord Trollington


    Questions have to be asked of Rodgers folks

    That wasn't the first time Moreno turned his back on the ball.

    He's constantly ****ting out of tackles as well.
    He's a good technical defender and a great footballer but he seriously needs to grow a pair of balls.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Soft Falling Rain


    We're our own worst enemy. Panicking and hesitancy all over the shop when pressure begins. The team just has no bottle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Gerrard passed it. But still playing

    Johnson Passd it. But still playing

    Henderson has lost his Confidence. But still playing

    Sterling has something missing.

    The defence is terrible with no leader there and no need for a defensive coach according to the manager.

    Rogers tactics and in game mangment is terrible.

    Big questions need to be asked at where its going wrong.

    One player leaving no matter who that is shouldn't have this kind of effect on the team.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,775 ✭✭✭✭Gbear


    I've never been impressed with Rodgers substitutions.

    Even last season he seemed to needlessly use 2 subs instead of 3 on loads of occasions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    'The Rodgers' treatment of Lallana is ridiculous.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Soft Falling Rain


    Not a fan of this ref.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Two keepers is really parking the bus.

    *wrong thread


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


    **** me we are awful, can't cross, take on a man, can't defend. Rodgers under big pressure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭Lord Trollington


    Henderson has been awful.
    Gerrard has been awful
    Lovren has been awful

    Lambert is a league 1 player at best.
    Allen isn't good enough.
    Boirini has heart but ultamately isn't good enough.

    Utterly pathetic performance .

    We have so many problems all over the field

    He's not and he shouldn't be. Its internet keyboard warriors who never wanted him in the first place that want him out. There's no way the owners are writing off what HIS team did last year.

    I has not been a pathetic performance. Slow down with the MASSIVE overreaction. And Joe Allen has been very good since he came one.

    I think I've had my fill of Balo. He'll produce the odd quality moment but mostly I just find myself pissed off watching him.

    No killer instinct up front. ****ing zero.

    He was FAR from our worst player today. And we know he's not as effective up top on his own, unfortunately our other attacking options aren't up to scratch. Thats the big issue. That and the fact Lovern is as bad as it gets back there.

    But of course he's under pressure. Perhaps not BIG pressure as such but we look a completely disjointed unit. New players or no, there looks to be the complete absence of any system out there, players playing on reputation only. Of course he's under pressure.

    Dont want him gone myself obviously but ya cant say he isint under pressure. I remember i used to joke bout how stoke played under pulis and now thats we have resorted to, hoofing it long to try nick a goal after spending a fortune.

    It's like 2009 all over again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Think Can was the only positive to take from that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,740 ✭✭✭✭MD1990


    Can't see us making the CL.


  • Posts: 45,738 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The recalled players did well didn't they? :rolleyes:

    I praised Rodgers the other night for dropping the poor performers only to pick them again today.

    Terrible management

    Crazy to think that losing 1 player has you gone from being within a whisker of winning the league to how you are now.

    Lallana not starting again, seems odd
