Plenty of teams have won the league title with only shìt performances if you exclude all the good ones.

If you exclude all the other excluding jokes, this is probably the best excluding joke bar the excluded ones that haven't been excluded.

If you ignore all his awful posts though he's a great poster.

Obviously I forgot to include this exclude.

Sturridge took his goals superbly and goodness they've been missed, though it was noticeable how he looked after himself throughout the game - understandable but not something we'd want to see for long, Ings didn't score but was my man of the match with Lucas a massive amount of selfless work done off the ball.

Playing three at the back remains a curious pointless strategy for me, Can is so poor when he gets isolated at right back and when he receives at ball in the 18 yard area and has to deal with it quickly. So why play the system? Moreno and Clyne can still be attacking full backs as they are wing backs.

So a win is a win but a 3-2 home win against Villa is not enough to end the scrutiny of Rodgers tenure.

Bringing this up as its exactly how I felt about sturridge today. He wasn't doing anything that could get him injured, wasn't going into tackles and was letting him self get pushed off the ball. Could be clever management, look after yourself, but if you see a chance, take it.

You could argue that he was very clinical in his performance. Did what he had to do, when he had the opportunity.

Ings is playing very well. Deserves a run in the team.

He tracked back 60 yards to win a ball today then sprinted right back up on the attack. Great to see this attitude.

More people need to realise this.

He's either SOTS or a Man U fan. There's no way he can be for real.

Who know what tomorrow holds for Rodgers
I use to be a tarot card reader but I gave it up, I saw no future in it .

Sakho was bullied for the second goal.

Gestede is the best header in the league, not much Sakho could have done. The only way to stop him really was to stop the cross.

It's a terrific attitude, but i'd kind of like if he was asked to curtail his tracking back a bit...there are plenty of other deeper players to deal with the defending. I'd rather Ing's exceptional workrate only be used in the oppositions half. Pressing high, running the channels, and powering through with the ball at his feet.

In the above example, I have to wonder how much he'd have actually been able to do with the ball had it made its way to him after sprinting the length of the field twice...i'd rather he's ready to burst when he receives the ball instead of being on his last legs.

Really think he'll be a great player for us though...I knew of his "win the ball and power through by sheer force of will" attitude, but hadn't quite been as sure about his quality. Looks like he has plenty though.

Watching Snatch of the Day
We really did turn off for Villa's first, Moreno, Couthino, Sakho, Can, all alseep , crazy stuff.

Damn right, very poor defending, surprised you didn't bring up Mignolet, Skrtel, Lucas, Milner and Clyne.
