My god Sanchez would have been prefect for us. Him and Sturridge would work brilliant together.

Instead we shopped at Aldi

20,000,001 bid in January might be an option.

It could be worse lads, we could support Arsenal.

I'll definitely be getting some.

As a matter of interest why does Palace need 8 games on the fancard? Bit random seeing as it's usually only Utd and Everton

I can only assume it's them protecting the last home game of the season in the same way as the Everton and Utd games. I won't be getting near 8 for next season anyhow as I'm on 0 right now. The bad start is probably due to my lack of match attendance I'd say to be honest.

Fcuk sake, start attending games quick!

Bloody hell. Mad results.

Arsenal too soft to win the league this season. They'll still be thereabouts for top 4 though. Sanchez will win them plenty of games.

We are very lucky the two main rivals for 4th have started poorly too

Hidalgo · 09-11-2014 06:09PM

Blessed to be only 4 off the cl places after the last 3 league games.
Draw at home to Hull, lose away to Newcastle, lose at home to Chelsea.

Season has to start anew with Palace away after the international break. Which will by no means straightforward.

Quel surprise.

This is bad posting. Alan put up a reasonable summary and rather than discuss / debate it you goad him over Rafa (when Alan didn't mention him btw)? Bad form.

I get that some people are disappointed with how things are going and will get defensive, but the above is not fair

09-11-2014 06:11PM

Manquillo, Lallana and Sturridge in for the Palace game. Toure too.

Go there and fcuking win

Sanchez is one I would have loved too if that's not stating the obvious, we tried to get him and we couldn't simple as that really, we can't force a player to come to Liverpool.

I know we tried for sanchez and he opted for arsenal, fair enough, but why didnt we then target someone else of similar quality. Sanchez would have been about as good a suarez replacement as you could hope for. We failed to get sanchez, why didnt we try someone else? Supposedly Markovic was being targeted anyway, besides the fact theyre clearly not in the same league. Lallana was already sorted as well afair. It feels like we tried and failed for sanchez and then just figured wed given it a shot and that was the end of it.

Agent Coulson · 09-11-2014 06:19PM

We could have gone for someone like Griezmann after missing out on Sanchez.

We could have matched Atl. Madrid in tranfer fee and wages.

Once again the player may not have come but don't say we can't beat the likes of Atl. & Dortmund on wages.

I see no reason why he would start Toure vs Palace - though of course he should. Lovren had been desperately poor all season prior to yesterday and yet, there he was, starting again.

09-11-2014 06:34PM

Can, Gerrard, Lallana, Henderson in a diamond? Sterling in behind Ballotelli?

I posted similar to this and Agent Coulsen in the preceding page. Going for a player of Sanchez's style and attributes to what was eventually got, Balotelli is odd to day the least.

Wasn't there talk all along that players who could play in various positions, e.g across the front 3 was the desired type of player.
Lallana has the ability to adapt in a few spots but in relation to a striker this idea wasn't long going up in smoke

mav79 · 09-11-2014 06:41PM

The way the players are performing at the moment, I'd like to see a midfield diamond of Lucas , Can and Couthino with Sterling behind Balotelli and Borini. Anything but 4-2-3-1 would be an improvement.

Sturridge will be back for the Palace game.

BeepBeep67 · 09-11-2014 06:44PM

I think we've played all our get out of jail cards now with other results generally going our way - need to kick on from here.

Pretty sure he said he wanted to stay in spain, atleti are a more attractive option for players now also.

Ye may have been able to match them, but they are far more attractive to an ambitious player.
Trying to convince someone to live in Liverpool rather than somewhere nicer is pretty hard, then the chance of playing with better players.

If saurez stayed, ye would have been able to get a better standard of player, he would have been a very strong foundation to build a team on which was what happened last season.

Liverpool would be near the lower end of second tier teams, apart from last season, there has been a lot of mediocre seasons. They are a great team to play fr if you are young and improving.

There are other players the likes Lacazette we could have gone back in for Konoplyanka who would suit the way we played last season. We could have gone for his international team mate Yarmolenko.

I am just saying there are experienced players out there that would have suited the way Rodgers say he wants to play and we don't have to break any budgets doing it.

"4 off the top 4" is the new "better than comparable fixtures last season": handy excuses that try to mask over the obvious for another few weeks. We're 4 off whoever currently occupies fourth place but, in reality, we're 11 behind Southampton and that's the only team I feel we can reign in. Arsenal, City and Chelsea will definitely finish in top 4.

That picture people keep quoting is very misleading. The ball was out at the edge of the box where a chelsea player won the header and nodded it back in. I admit its still disorganised defending, particularly lovren and skrtel both attacking the same ball and neither of them winning it.

But why didn't anybody recognise that they were leaving their players behind or letting their zone behind? In fairness, it's not rocket science. Even a 10yo at the local club is learning to do their allocated job when defending set pieces. You would imagine that out of 6 experienced international players that at least one would be alert enough to see players not being marked and keep shouting at players to get them to do their jobs?

+1 but the only likely starter is Lallana. I would like to see Sturridge get 60 minutes and Borini replace him. I don't think i can watch Balotelli start up front again, ever:(

mada999 · 09-11-2014 07:16PM

2 up front from now on please....

googled eyes · 09-11-2014 08:09PM

Balotelli called up to the Italy squad.

I thought he didn't do much wrong in the first half yesterday, but f*cking hell when he does wrong its ridiculous. At this stage he is just a comedy side show in the team. I've given up thinking he will be dropped.
