According to Reds legend John Aldridge, Liverpool's starting line-up against Southampton today is as follows:
FULL TEAM: Jones, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Allen, Gerrard, Coutinho, Downing, Suarez, Sturridge
SUBS Gulacsi, Wisdom, Henderson, Shelvey, Lucas, Suso, Ibe.
SOUTHAMPTON: Boruc, Clyne, Yoshida, Hooiveld, Shaw, Schneiderlin, Cork, Lallana, Ramirez, Rodriguez, Lambert.
On Carra's omission, Aldo said:
"Carras out. I've been told he's injured"
Pepe Reina failed a late fitness test so he misses out for the second week in a row.
As I predicted earlier today, Lucas is on the bench, which is a good thing after his poor performance against Spurs, though it's surprising to see Rodgers make that decision.
It's great to see Jordon Ibe on the bench. Having watched him a lot for various youth teams, he's a better prospect than Raheem Sterling IMO, especially in terms of dribbling skills, and ability to take players on. Hopefully, he'll get 15 minutes at some point in the game.
Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson predicts a 2-1 victory for the Reds, and argues that his old club have a 'reasonable chance of finishing 5th' in the league. He told the BBC:
"The [LFC] players are playing well and enjoying their football and seeing where it can take them. The Reds have no worries while, in contrast, the pressure is really on at the bottom-of-the-table for Southampton now. They looked jittery in their goalless draw with Norwich last week"
Lawro's former team-mate, Jan Molby believes the Reds will have too much quality upfront for Southampton. He told the Liverpool Echo:
"If Southampton perform anywhere near the level they produced against Man City then it will be a tough game. But they will give you chances and I just feel with our firepower we’ll have too much quality for them"

Phew I thought suarez or gerrard were the ones, big blow if carras out? Come on. For the record qpr beat saints last week at their home so no excuses today, all must win games until the end of season
ReplyDeleteLucas on bench, Allen replaces him.
ReplyDeleteOn paper our line-up should be strong enough to beat Southampton, but it seems we are playing 4-2-4 again, a system that hasn't convinced me so far. Let's hope we see an entertaining match with us winning.
ReplyDeleteIbe on the bench, hope to see him after a 3:0 lead in 2nd half
ReplyDeleteallen will play wel todayl. he has a clear role when he and lucas arent playing together. he recycles possession and is tenacious while pressing. i like the lad.
ReplyDeleteallen as done what to justify his place ,hendo should have started ,talk about games for the boys ,predict one or two nil to the pool ,ps really pissed of for hendo absolute joke
ReplyDeleteIs this Lucas injury serious? He seems off in the main hardcore games. Hope he recovers quickly. I would like to see this new guy Ibe ( don't know who he is though:( ....) Hope BR could show the youngsters some 20 min game time in the remaining matches for experience sake, if we r in a good winning position. Going for a 4-1 victory today...... pls say it is so!
ReplyDeleteId say 0-2 to us,Suarez brace
ReplyDeleteShould be winning games like todays and expect Liverpool to win it 3-0.
ReplyDeleteWhile Jones doesn't fill me with confidence at all, Skrtel has just shown why he was left out recently. Poor positioning and marking there to grant Soton an easy lead.
ReplyDeletehere we go again...
ReplyDeleteAllen has the ability to keep possession a lot better than Hendo. But actually having the ball may well be overrated by myself here.
ReplyDeleteThe defence is awful again! How many goals have LFC shipped this season as a result of crap defending? Johnson gave the guy too much space on the right, and Skrtel didn't anticipate the run.
ReplyDeleteLet's take Skrtel off already. He's not up to it at all.
ReplyDeleteLeaving Lucas out when we have a weakened back 4 and an extremely dodgy 'keeper is blatantly underestimating Saints who are battling to stay in the league. Just as Rodgers looked like he was starting to get it together too. Poor show. Allem hasn't regained he form or confidence and is carrying a shoulder injury. He'll get bullied left and right.
ReplyDeleteThe last time he massively underestimated the opposition, we got murdered. By Oldham!!
Yes it is a big blow, as it means Skrtel plays.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me why we are playing so deep?
ReplyDeleteSorry to remind you, but Lucas' form hasn't been up to standard of late and even declined recently.
ReplyDeleteWe're playing 4-1-3-2 and the players have no idea how to play that formation.
ReplyDeleteTotally agreed Allen is NOT should not be ahead of Lucas in any Universe, also one bad game against Spurs in comparison to the performances of Allen all season is wrong
ReplyDeleteYes he's not the same player as he was last season.
ReplyDeleteHowever he's got to be better than Allen ..Allen gives away too many fouls in dangerous areas.
Is it me of do our players look like they were on on the piss last night...like a sunday league team with a 09:00am Sunday kick off
ReplyDeleteTo me it seems that we are trying to make poor, comical defending an art-form.
ReplyDeleteallen is like an amateur player on that pitch! god knows why he is here
ReplyDeleteYep totally agree...whenever we start to look decent we are heartbroken by performances like this
ReplyDeletewhat has allen been doing since the beg of this match??? apart from losing possession every time.. amateur players
ReplyDeleteWhat has any of our players done so far in this match? Why single out ONE player?
ReplyDeleteLucas has been poor, granted. But Allen has been truly awful, his confidence is shot and he's injured. I'd play Hendo ahead of him any day (based on current form).
ReplyDeleteseems like it
ReplyDeleteI think if we can say in it at 1-0 we will get a dominant spell at some point in the game,its that we have to be ruthless when we get it
ReplyDeleteAllen today has been a lot worse than Suso was in any of those games when he was dishonorably withdrawn from the game so early. We need to get him off the pitch asap.
ReplyDeleteSkrtel and Agger are asking to be subbed off early also tbh...
well that idea is gone out the f**cking window
ReplyDeleteThere goes going into half-time a goal down.
ReplyDeleteSkrtel should never be in a LFC kit again ...
ReplyDeletelol shouldnt laugh ...like ive said a lucky win aginst spurs and beating a couple of bum teams doesnt makes us that good....Allen back in the team and its buiness as usual ..in rogers we trust
ReplyDeleteAh, come on. He's free to buy himself a replica kit and run around in it in his spare-time.
ReplyDeleteOnce again this team showing its true form. Always a letdown when the going gets tough. Maybe Rodgers out of his depth...
ReplyDeleteyou just keep believing that ....also if anyones interested elvis is playing a gig on my roof in the knack after
ReplyDeleteNo surprise that the game after Gerrard talks about a 'perfect finish' we don't even turn up. Happens every time a senior player or the manager comes out making statements about the top 4. Seasons after season. It's just embarrassing now. Wish they'd keep out of the press and concentrate on putting in 100% every game.
ReplyDeletenearly there m8 right score wrong team...hendo must be watching this from the bench thinking what have i got to do...rogers will probably bring hendo on with 3 mins to go and blame the result on him
ReplyDeleteand rodgers gonna come and say we were unlucky.. and 'if countinho scored that goal just before half half we were back in the game. it was a world class save by the keeper'
ReplyDeleteHalf time match report.
ReplyDeleteRodgers: "Our players were outstanding"
forget about skertl.. the team cannot put more than 3 pass together!
ReplyDeleteJust like you keep singling out one player while ignoring the poor performance of our entire team. Gerrard is gifting the opposition possession quite regularly for a player of his ilk, for example.
ReplyDeletethey really are cutting us up ..have we won one ball in midfield
ReplyDeleteIm usually a big supporter of Allen but even I cant defend him today,nor any of the team really
ReplyDeleteyes he made amends for his miss
ReplyDeleteGreat to see that Soton have learnt the art of poor defending from us already.
ReplyDeleteJust as your comments then. Since when are we holding press conferences at half-time?
ReplyDeleteChange of formation/personnel at half time and we should still win this.
ReplyDeleteAllen refuses to pass forward if you watch him he rarely passes forward. I hope that Rogers takes him off for the second half
ReplyDeleteas I said they wont be able to keep the intensity all game so we will get our chance but we need to take it
ReplyDeleteSturridge is so selfish! open goal for downing and he takes it when hes not even facing the goal. He is very lucky it fell to coutinho. Cant believe we are down by one only. 4-0 to soton would be deserved. zero energy shown by our players, i dont think it helps that the atmosphere is so dead!
ReplyDeleteThe second goal we've conceded was unlucky indeed. Wicked deflection.
ReplyDeleteIt was a joke. Not a funny one admittedly! No need to get defensive.
ReplyDeleteGerrard's the only player to have shown any sort of quality throughout the first half.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Suarez and Coutinho deserve plaudits for the goal of course too
i was wrong... Allen is playing horribly. and just bullied off the ball constantly. how can a two meter pass miss by three meters. just sad performance
ReplyDeleteId say Hendos work rate and energy would help us get a grip of the game
ReplyDeleteYou surely have a point here. Problem is that nowadays with the internet and pay-TV channels, 24/7 coverage is required. Therefore, there has to be an interview almost every day.
ReplyDeleteif we are to pull this game back we really need to step up a gear...our passing has been shocking.....the back 4 is constantly being exposed and is getting no protection
ReplyDeleteAnd Gerrard with his constant passes to the opposition. Or Johnson. There aren't many, if any, not worthy of a substitution.
ReplyDeletehopefully we can show our class in 2nd half, we should absolutely dominate possesion but we arent, the coutinho goal may give us the needed confidence
ReplyDeletei hope we get sakho and de vrij. what has happened to our defence during summer
ReplyDeleteOr not.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone wants a indication as to who is likely to feature next season as a CENTER BACK look at the Subs Bench ...Wisdom.
ReplyDeleteive mentioned also the whole teams passing is shocking....allens form does not merit a start ...thats my biggest bugbear...picking favourites over form
ReplyDeleteTrue. I do wish they'd kick on every time they make such statements, rather than thinking they can can just coast to 3 points.
ReplyDeleteAs far as todays game goes, I think a return to the usual formation at half time, and maybe the addition of Hendo and we could get a grip of this game.
Kelly is injured atm...
ReplyDeleteLucas is on. Phew
ReplyDeletethere is a huge lack of strength and drive in midfield when Gerrard isnt on form. In hindsight the midfield choice was very poor, I think Stevie needs someone buzzing around that he trusts so he can drive us forward. Hopefully second half we will mtfu and take control
ReplyDeletewe'll see....
ReplyDeleteThe more I see of Couthnio the more the more I like this player
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't show, though. Maybe our bad performance wasn't down to Allen after all.
ReplyDeleteas good as courtino looks if we are playing him in midfield we really do need a monster in there to balance it out
ReplyDeleteallen is off phew
ReplyDeleteWell, we went in only a goal down, but it doesn't look as if we were to make any efforts to change the outcome, so far.
ReplyDeletewe are just an average team.. i cant see any progress from last season
ReplyDeletedont be silly jonjo no finals or europe next year means we are doing just fine
ReplyDeleteToday we don't look better than last season, granted.
ReplyDeleteJohnson and Sturridge have been very below par today.
ReplyDeleteshocking perfomance
ReplyDeletei dont get that skrtel even bothers to moan about not playing. He is horrible.... absolute garbage.
ReplyDeleteMaybe today the entire team wants to prove to Rodgers that they deserved to be in one of the envelopes for letting the club down.
ReplyDeleteBar Suarez. He seems to be the only one who wants to win this one.
ReplyDeleteis Allen any relation of Rodger?
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't anyone tell Gerrard that he shouldn't pass to the guys in red today?
ReplyDeletewhat the hell is the point of putting hendo on for 8 minutes?
ReplyDeleteFFS, 3-1!!!! just no consistency in this squad... up one week ... the pittance the next!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point in giving up 8 minutes from time, even if it seems very, very unlikely that we get anything out of this match?
ReplyDeleteactually we score doesnt reflect the game.. it should have been at least 5 for southampton
ReplyDeletedo you think Rodgers will say the performance was really good but the lads were tired
ReplyDeleteso he can blame him for the result....he could score 3 and allen would still get picked
ReplyDeletelucas again not doing much interms of stopping people running through the middle......we need some steel in our defensive and midfield over the summer. Really bad day at the office for alot of our players....
ReplyDeleteSturridge was poor anyways,hendo should have came on a lot earlier
ReplyDeleterodgers is a joke.. i keep saying it. he doesnt have any tactical knowledge or anything.. he just tell the players to go and pass the ball. he thinks every team can play barcelona way
ReplyDeletehe will say we are rusty because we are out of all the cup competitions...truth is we played a tired spurs team and got lucky ..and thrashed two teams with an eye on the cup...whats funny is some on here see getting thrashed by teams like wba..stoke and Southampton as bona fida progress ...me i just cant see it
ReplyDeleteYGBSM!!!!!! What was up with THAT? It's so F#*&(^@*&^ DEFLATING to witness such a TOTAL collapse of a team. How can you beat Tottenham and get so roundly crushed by bottom-feeders...routinely? I'm sorry. It's laziness. You can't tell me Soton is a more talented team...we've just got some lazy defenders.
ReplyDeleteToday was very predictable.
ReplyDeleteYep, and it has been like that for years. Our trouble with lowly teams that is.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had your mind-reading abilities.
ReplyDeleteFunny how many cried for his introduction then.
ReplyDeleteOne word to describe Liverpool today....SHITE
ReplyDeleteWell, yes and no. If we were to substitute all under-performers today, we could have changed all but Suarez at half-time.
ReplyDeletetotally agree, totally showed his class today, off form but was the only one running. He did some better defending than johnson and skrtl! Coutinho's work effort was also good
ReplyDeleteI know but Hendo should have come on no later then 65 min,we were pathetic today,Id say its the worst performance this season
ReplyDeletewe lost because we are poor!
ReplyDeleteToday reflects the lack of quality in the squad:
ReplyDelete1.No real competition for GJ who was shocking.
2.Allen is not a first 11 player-please get Diame, Allen can shine his shoes as part of the deal.
3.No competition for Sturridge who was awful today.
4. Skrtel well enough said- he deserves a public flogging and to use his wages to fund the Sahko deal.
BR in his defence has a limited squad in terms of quality but should have played Carra & Lucas then sub them if he was woried about fatigue
Usually optimistic but defence was pathetic today.
ReplyDeleteWhy would BR play Allen instead of Henderson or Lucas?
ReplyDeleteWhat is he playing at?
We were very poor. Sturridge in the last 2 games has been utterly disgraceful. Not only did he lose the ball but once lost he failed even to rectify it - in order to play him we sacrifice the effeciveness of Suarez.
ReplyDeleterodgers is a joke and i keep saying it. he thinks its playstation.. he just tells the players to go and keep possession. he doesnt have any tactical knowledge. he just got a big mouth and fooling liverpool fans with his supposedly beautiful and attractive football.lol there's no progress from last season. last season the team the team went on two cup finals, and this guy is making as if he has inherited a very poor team and is telling us to wait. he is just buying time
ReplyDeletebuying time! yes, i totally agree
ReplyDeletethe result doesnt surprise me ....the midfield of allen gerrad and tino is never gonna work in away games..ALLEN IS NOT UP TO IT ....Rogers trys to slip him in when he thinks we are playing well and it always backfires...just wayw way to lightweight .....it will be interesting to see if we finish higher than last year because we have some dog fights coming up ..and allen and co cant hack it
ReplyDeleteCarra was injured
ReplyDeleteSo you would fire Rodgers?
ReplyDeletewe are at villa next week that will be another tough away game
ReplyDeleteits not our decision so the question is academic
ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction, but still worth picking though Skrtel was beyond terrible, It highlights the lack of depth!
ReplyDeleteVery poor today.
ReplyDeleteI think Rodgers has to take some flak. Carra being out wasn't his fault I understand (which I didn't realise at the time, though on the back of that performance, you just think anyone but Skrtel would have been better), but dropping Lucas was an error. I think Allen is a good player, but the more I watch him, the surer I am that he can't play in a midfield 2 and needs to be part of a central 3 in midfield (which effectively makes him an extremely expensive tactical 'option' rather than a starter). He isn't strong enough to play DM and not good enough off the ball to play AM. Lucas hasn't been great, but he has tactical discipline and wont be bullied in the way that Allen is.
Also, as soon as I heard Rodgers talking 'top 4' bollocks in the week, I became convinced that we wouldn't get a win. It is like Groundhog Day- we get a little head of steam and then someone starts spouting shite about we'll do this and that. It is completely counter-productive.
Expert analysis.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
Cruel how things change. One minute, we laud the team's form in this period and how its up there with the best in the league and poking fun for Sahin not hitting the ground running and not starting games after his criticism of Rodgers and the next minute, we lose to a recently promoted side in such a poor manner and Sahin gets 2 goals & 1 assist in his latest game.
ReplyDeletethink he got 7 mins still is fault ,allen stank today but it,s not his fault
ReplyDeletehey allen fanboy, go back supporting swansea and take your beloved allen and rodgers with you
ReplyDeleteHe was injured for nearly a full year, so it was serious.
ReplyDeleteWhether he will recover is another issue. I think he will. He is a good professional, and it isn't like he can get any slower.
lucas > allen. nuff said
ReplyDeleteits the manner of the defeat that alarms me ...we have been thrashed several times this year by average teams ..that never happened last year ...im not banging the drum for kenny and co ....but as bad as we wrer last year we didnt get thrashed by average teams villa will be licking there lips
ReplyDeletelol but its the truth
ReplyDeletegetting worse week in week out...imho your beloved idol should never wear lfc shirt again...ever..
ReplyDeletethe owners will not make a change in manager and I could understand that but there is a real need for for an old head to advise the Americans and to be a link with Rodgers. The latter may not like that but tough.
ReplyDeleteSt John, Roy Evans are names which come to mind
i don,t know about the worse,theres so many to pick from:-(
ReplyDeletei acctually think your being unfair to SHITE
ReplyDeleteA very fair assessment; well said
ReplyDeleteFrustrating isn't it
ReplyDeletewithout doubt one of the worst performances i,ve ever seen ,and please no one post me about rodgers and his plans,sick to death of it now worse manager i can ever remember ,allen one of the worst players ever to pull on a red shirt,improvement on last season my arse
ReplyDeleteA poor effort all round Sturridge played his second horrible game in a row we were belted in the midfield Hendo should have started.
ReplyDeleteOn Skrtel i think he has lost interest i am pretty sure his days are numbered this was one game we were let down badly by our better players.
you seem pretty quick to single out skertal we all have players we prefere
ReplyDeleteThat never happened last year? All right, this puts all your comments into context for me.
ReplyDeletethe better players cannot do a great deal when the rest are so bad,they can only be supermen so much
ReplyDeleteI really am surprised at you knowledge. As hard as I try, I couldn't tell what Rodgers thinks, but if I had to guess, I wouldn't guess he thinks this is playstation. He doesn't have any tactical knowledge? He's made him a good career out of that then so far.
ReplyDeleteAside from the cup finals, we were in relegation form for the second half of the season. Think there is no point in trying to twist things as if Rodgers took over a team of world beaters. We were lucky to win the Rumbelows cup against a second tier team, on pens.
Midfield and attack didn't do better, though.
ReplyDeleteTwo more thoughts:
ReplyDeleteIf not Lucas why not Henderson? Better at playing a pressing game and seems more comfortable in a midfield 2.
Well played Brad Jones. I don't think he is a good enough all around goalkeeper to be no.1, but I think he is fabulous in 1-on-1 situations (which Reina used to be good at, but now he just falls to his knees like Willem Dafoe in Platoon).
Allen is Not a Holding MF
ReplyDeleteSturridge looks out of form, obviously and a little selfish.
Suarez had no service and underwhelmed...and then loses his temper in a very stupid way.
What a complete disappointment.
The last three wins didn't mean LFC are going to win the league, and this defeat doesn't mean it's the end of the world. Defeats are inevitable, which is why things have to be considered in context. So the club lost a game. Big fecking deal. Massively Disappointing, yes; Armageddon? No.
ReplyDeleteI still think that Roy was our worst manager in recent years. Souness wasn't that great either. And I also know many players much worse than Allen, and much less talented, to wear our shirt.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your arse has improved on last year though :-) (I consider that as a joke and not as an offence).
No today ws the worst,West Brom,Aston Villa and stoke and the likes we all had chances to win it,multiple chances,we had almost NONE today thats the difference
ReplyDeleteIn fairness to Gilstrap, who admittedly is a bit harsh (for me) on Rodgers at times, we only really had this kind on performance in the second half of last season (which was dire, but I find it easier to explain than the consistent inconsistency under Rodgers) but this kind of surrender has been peppered throughout this season.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of how things can twist and turn on a knife's edge, I can't help thinking what would have happened if the ref would have let Suarez go through on goal when their centre-back slipped and a foul was wrongly called. Only 1-0 then. They scored a 2nd soon after.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like my father.
ReplyDeleteYes, Coutinho should get away with some credit, too.
ReplyDeleteYep.
ReplyDeleteIs that a good thing? Am I like Darth Vadar type Father or Leave it to Beaver type father?
ReplyDeleteA fucking abstract art form if you ask me.
ReplyDelete...or maybe it is sculpture since our players stand around like statues.
Coutinho and Enrique both missed big chances.
ReplyDelete...or better yet, Michael Jordan.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's still wrong to claim that it NEVER happened last year.
ReplyDeleteI think we've had games like this for years. Games in which I watch wondering why our players obviously don't want to win enough, where the other team simply wants it more. You are right, this season has been littered with performances like this, and some blame has to go towards Rodgers. Having said that, in the past I also blamed the players for their poor attitude and the same applies here.
Yep, you can't say it never happened.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a consistent theme for Liverpool for 20+ years now.
We are a club that loves tradition, after all.
Not at all. To say Rodgers is a joke would certainly suggest to me that wanting him sacked would be a possibility. Why have any opinion about anything if it is academic? Just because it is not going to have a bearing is not a reason to have an opinion about something..?
ReplyDeleteI'm just trying to distinguish between someone letting off steam and actually wanting some action.
Personally, as frustrating a result as it was, I certainly do not feel attacking the manger to that extent is constructive; unless you genuinely feel you would like a change or something fairly critical to be implemented.
Yes. We did have chances. The defensive performance was pathetic and we were hardly free-flowing but frustrations shouldn't be over-riding facts.
ReplyDeleteim not one for Wikipedia but we got thrashed twice once at city and once at spurs ...we didnt get dicked by the likes of stoke
ReplyDeleteHilarious this....After Brenda banging on about 4th place and all that,
ReplyDeleteAfraid to tell you my deluded souls, that normal service has resumed! Finish below Everton, no silverware....all after spending a princely sum of 48 million!! nevermind, you might recoup that when Suarez leaves for a genuine big club!, now wheres my glass of Chang? x
If one word to describe Liverpool is SHITE, does that in turn mean one word to describe SHITE is Liverpool?
ReplyDeleteI'm here, still asking the big questions.
its the manner of the defeats jaimie...
ReplyDeleterogers falls out with players then realizes he may have to use them...
ReplyDeleteit kills rogers to pick hendo over allen ...his ego wont allow it..thats my main misgiving of him as a manager
ReplyDeletestalin and hitler made a good career out of politics ....would you call them good politicians
ReplyDeleteno your right ...lets congratulate him for that 3 1 DEFEAT
ReplyDeleteNormal service. Tell that to the past 2 decades.
ReplyDeleteAlso, an Evertonian, having a go at a club for not winning silverware. You're not even throwing stones from your glass house in that one- a glass house is infinitely too structurally sound to act as a metaphor for your comment. You're throwing stones from a fucking toilet paper house, which is appropriate for a deluded turd.
Also, if Suarez leaves, we'll get by. When Fowler left, we had Owen to soften the blow, when Owen went we eventually got Torres and when he left we got Suarez. You haven't had a player equivalent to any of those since the 1980s.
Remember, this season isn't seen as a good one by Liverpool fans. Moyes said today that Evertonians are watching a 'very good Everton team'. A team so good that you wont get into Europe and still wont win a trophy. You're in for a great future.
Enjoy your Chang. It is cheap shite that you'd only drink if nothing else was available. Now that is an appropriate metaphor...
hide the chipolata in the welshman
ReplyDeleteThere were a couple of games- Bolton is one that springs to mind. There were a few after the turn of February last season.
ReplyDeleteSpot on Jamie. Like everyone I`m gutted we won, but truth is some people are only happy if we win every single game, and even then I`ve watched people slate the team after we win. It`s a bit shameful, as at times it feels like our fans are worse than Chelseas.
ReplyDeleteThe problem isn`t that we lost today, these things happen. Utd lost to QPR who were bottom not so long ago. You will never win every game, and you will never win all the winnable games. The reason it seems to cause such outrage right now, is that due to our poor start, unless we win every game right now, people are on the war path. Football though isn`t like that, and its unrealistic to expect your team to win every game ever.
My worry is all these haters, with unrealistic views, will hound out our manager, then do the same with the next, and the next, basically spending all possible transfer money on settlements to get rid of staff. Then at the end, when we are doomed, will prob blame someone else.
im pulling no punches with rogers if he picks out of form players just because there his buddies and we lose
ReplyDeleteallen is a luxury we cant afford ...cant tackle cant attack cant win headers ..and hes in the engine room its a joke ....but he can keep possesion ...WTF does that mean ...ive never heard such a crock of Sh*T
ReplyDeleteOUT OF A CANNON INTO THE JOB CENTRE...THERE MUST BE A VILLAGE THAT NEEDS AN IDIOT
ReplyDeleteon todays display michael jackson would do better
ReplyDelete100% agree. When did we turn into a club who have worse fans than Chelsea. You know at times its shocking. When I look back at how badly we have treated some players, I`m still amazing this myth about us being the best fans is around, cause we aint, we are not even close. Lucas, should have left us, as we treated him like he was worthless, Allen has been treated the same, so has Downing, and Hendo, and ohh so many others. I`m, sure we all agree that Allen isn`t a word beater, but he is a Liverpool player, and he does try. Funny thing is though, when they turn it around, the haters, soon change there tune. Personally, I would actually like it if Suarez left, and said on his departure, this is due to how badly some of the fans treat some of the players, of course this would never happen, but maybe then, and only then would some people wake up to there own abusive nature.
ReplyDeletetill next time lol
ReplyDeleteit was unfair to shite today because we were worse than that
ReplyDeletelol lol lol
ReplyDeleteSo now Everton are closer to the top four than we are. God that's a depressing sight.
ReplyDeleteI very much doubt he picks anyone just cause there his buddies...Your a clever guy Gilstrap, so I`m sure you know this too. If we are talking this game only, Allen was def not alone in not having a great game, of course the whole loss was down to Allen, defense were perfect, Attack perfect, but Allen, he gave away all 3 goals. We both know that aint the truth. Lucas hadn`t been playing to well of late, and was replaced with Allen, on paper it makes sense. From what I have seen all season, Rodgers strongest point is he picks players on form, and if there form dips, they get replaced, and thats such a great thing too see. The theory I guess is the player who comes in, will want to give the performance of his life to keep that spot. It also shows players if you play bad, your dropped. He dropped Allen when Allen went off the boil, so it makes sense, and seems only fair to do the same to others. The loss today was by the team, who mostly all played way below par, minus one of two tops.
ReplyDeleteoh i thought we were going to win the league,and like i said improvement on last season my arse some of the worst performances ever this season to many to list,not just getting beat getting hammered by lets face it the sides at the bottom of the league ,there not there by chose there there because every man and there dogs beating them ,we make them look like barcalona
ReplyDeletewho at that price tag
ReplyDeletewet away game ....front 3 downing tino sturridge...middle 3 of lucas hendo and gerrad ....allen set the tone .....when we go a goal behind we tend to collapse ...allen in midfield =no momentum = other team grows in confidence = us losing
ReplyDeleteWhere were you last week?
ReplyDeletesorry m8 if you want to be a superfan thats your chose but please do not expect me to except that shit because its not going to happen f"ck allen what about the fans who would have spent nearly all there wages going to todays game its them i feel sorry for,not some one on ninety grand a week

ReplyDeletei was in me Nans having a roast mate
ReplyDeleteEnriques is irrelevant because we still would have lost and notice I said 'almost' no chances referring to Coutinhos chance
ReplyDeleteI was in me Nans having a roast mate
ReplyDeleteIt'd probably just make wee Joe Allen more nervous.
ReplyDeleteIf Coutinho's had gone in, Enrique's would have mattered. The point is goals change games.
ReplyDeleteNo denying that we were well below par.
Well, they were undoubtedly good politicians, though they were questionable (understatement) humans.
ReplyDeleteMore pertinently though: people like to slag off the League Cup win, saying we scraped it against a Championship side, but we had to beat City, Chelsea and Stoke (away, at the Britannia) to get there.
BR has had everything his own way no comolli and his record does not warrant this but kenny has won 4 titles and been treated like shit BR has to go and FSG they take 20m off standard and chartd. 25m off warrior and 60m off sky plus 30m+ gate money thats 135+ they turn a good profit
ReplyDeletei was worried about him, cos he cant seem to hold onto shots. but he kept us in the game. his save for the third goal was almost increadible.
ReplyDeletehe does go missing a lot though.
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeleteWhy shift the posts by now adding the price tag?
ReplyDeleteWell, if the Suarez situation arose as you described it, the haters surely would blame him and give him all sorts of names.
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice that Zanatos referred to you at all. And this "superfan" thing, too, is starting to get boring. For all I know it is you who portrays himself as a superfan, if that existed at all. Why is it that you have to insult people in one way or the other as soon as their opinion differs from yours?
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, it would be very kind of you if you'd stop claiming or making allusions about anybody happy with a game or result like today's. THAT makes YOU the superfan, Jason. You are not the only one who's unhappy or even upset, so don't portray you as one of very few who care.
