"This is why a proven finisher is worth so may points over a season - FSG time to show some ambition the boys on the pitch are giving all they have, what are you going to do?"
"Well before the game I said a draw was the best we could hope for and a draw is what we got. First fifteen very good , rest of the half very poor . Second half brilliance from Suarez and good work from Sterling but average from the rest , too slow and plodding. Opertunity missed at home , still bottom half, this season is already too long !"
"i don't blame brendan or our players...I blame FSG..they are idiots...like perdew said rogers was not given the tools ...look at our bench totally empty..if they can't add 2 million more to buy dempsey i don't think they will buy anyone...totally dissapointed"
"Deserved the win.but wats new.we score from play that rodgers doesnt want us using.a gud long ball taken down with style and finishd alike.if we spend most d time tryn to get crosses in,wud it not off made sense aven ac in d box."
"BR is too stubborn and predictable with Sahin, Suso, and Wisdom. When Johnson and Kelly are fit, Wisdow is nowhere near their capabilities as full back. Shelvey and Assaidi clearly always create more chances, why are they two always heat the bench???"
"We NEED at least 2 new strikers in january! Why not Soldado? Gret goal by Suárez
disappointed that we didn´t get the 3 points! We deserved too win!"
"Fully expected this. Some players should get a rest. Sterling and Allen are obviously tired and why not give a chance to Morgan. I trust the manager fully, but sometimes his decisions baffle me. Come on, lads, up your game! YNWA"
"We need to do a lot on this leaking defense and unpopular finishing!
My heart was all up that Luis dont make any funny tackle to get yellow because who do we present against chelsea????
This boy is a genius!
Brendan + Ian+ Henry + January= who???"
"liverpool plated brill, but because of FSG and not buying a forward we cant seem to finish teams off,just seems like we cant get 3 points no matter what we do, so frustrating, wish someone with real money had have took over the club."
"same old same old. how many more points are we going to drop at anfield ? loads of possession loads of chances, should have won, were unlucky.... yeah yeah heard it all before. wasnt roy hodgson sacked for having a similar amount of points as we have now ???????????????"
"Two draws in a row is worse than a defeat, that's another four points down the drain, It's so frustrating and demoralising. January could prove extremely crucial."
"think suarez will be tempted to leave if we dont sign few players to support him. supposed to get 20mill in january. we need 3 or four times that to stand a chance of top four"
"BR once again he is out of his depth. Yes we played some decent football, but Newcastle will also know they can play an awful lot better than that. Newcastle will beat us at St James, so these are the games we have to win at home. Another test failed."
"I don't understand why Rodgers continue to play Shelvey although the latter is not performing well since the last few games, why not not play Assaidi who played very much better."
"This is the time to change our formation, we do not need three central midfielders when half the time two of them are ineffective. Times when we do get into good positions we have no one in the box, each midfielder seems to be hanging on the edge, it's not acceptable. We are only going to score goals with bodies in the box, no wonder Suarez never passes, what s the point."
"Damn it its so frustrating we don't win games we dominate its clear that Rodgers hasn't more option forward but I think he should be playing the player we have like assaidi who I think can do better than shelvey & downing when we need to drive forward and I wonder why rodgers brought him"
"shelevy really isn't ready, he's taking up the best attacking posions but not applying the finishes. imagine steven gerrard given those chances in those posions. All in all and intertaning match"
"BR pls leave our lovely liverpool Fc you are absolutly useless... take the Joe's (Cole and Allan) with you, borini and your fans (who support you and not Liverpool). We were told by you to judge after 10games and in 10games you'v managed to get less points then what Roy got in his 1st 10games. I'v seen enought to tell you not gona get us anywhere either now or in 3 years time."
"RODGERS NEEDS TO STOP FAVOURING ALLEN, HE SHOULD BE BENCHED CAUSE HES RUBBISH AND A WASTE OF 15MILLION, WE COULD HAVE BOUGHT A STRIKER WHAT WE NEEDED!!!!"
"now we no why joe allen doesn't pass forward!!!!! shocking performance! and enrique OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i really cant stand watching him play!!! and why i suso always on the wing! he's no fret there!! he's needs to play in the number 10 role!!! and sahin what does he ever do!! dont rate him at all"
"Suarez needs a partner because no one runs on ahead of him. Plus Sahin is a complete waste of time, how on earth did he last 73 mins. Sahin, Wisdom, Jose and even Allen are not good enough. We need Lucus back badly, and then maybe we can revert back to a 442."
"All in all can't be too disappointed. Yes we should of won but we kept knocking on the door. The reality is we can't expect too much because apart from Suarez we haven't really got any other goalscorers. I would have added Gerrard but he tends to sit deeper now adays and when he is in attacking positions he takes an extra touch compared to few years ago"
"Yes FSG need to put their hands in their pockets preferably on a couple of proven goal scorers,but it's not their fault we spent 80 million on crapn last year!!"
"You know whats the funniest thing ever ?? that our goal was nothing about how BR wants us to play but a straight long ball pass from defence to attack and thats how its done... FCUK your tika taka nonsence. I also learnt that you favour Allan and keep him on ahead of players who are creative and score goals like Sahin (3goals), Suso (creative) and Shelvey (3goals)."
"Now he's the king of the nutmeg
Oh, the Anfield VIP
He's reached the top and cannot stop
And that's not botherin' me
He wanna be a legendary red
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
He loves just monkeyin' around!
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna score like you
Dribble like you, too
You'll see it's true
A genius like you
Can win the le too
"
"What a great game! What a great performance you did lads! Suarez was absolutely the best today, Raheem pure class, our midfield looked so skillful and talented and I was almost starting to cry from the happiness. The defence looked rocky. The goals scored by Luis was a real gem! We were unlucky even for some ref decisions. We have to keep following this way of play. Well done BR! YNWA"
"People need to stop blaming FSG, yes they did not invest how we had all hoped. But the players at BR disposal are good enough to be challenging for a top six spot. BR man management is what is setting us back. He did not start the swansea revolution martinez did. Lets remember Laundrup has made them and even better team where BR has made LFC a worse team. "
"Indifferent..since we came not to play..until we are sincere..there is no hope for a sinking ship..who stocks up average players in the midfielder..instead of playing with tactics that work..forget europe next year..by then, we will be hoping to win the championship.."
"And for those slating Shelvey, are you serious? He's one of the only central midfielder's that we have that actually gets into attacking positions. He's scored a few goals in the Europa League and with time he will do so in the Premier League. There's no point adding unintelligent comments just because he missed a few chances, this after coming off the bench "
"Sick to the teeth of this 4-3-3 If we get another striker in January where does he fit in? If we go 4-4-2 which we may need to do to fit 2 strikers together up front then the whole system changes again. BTW Swansea the other night reminded me of our great teams in the seventies and eighties. Tika Tacky in the EPL may not work at all."
"10 GAMES ALREADY! Line up and strategy are SOOOO PREDICTABLE, and so are the result. Assaidi has more determination than Suso. Shelvey, despite the misses today, is the only one who always be ready to receive the final pass."
"PEOPLE SLATING SHELVEY? ARE YOU MAD HES ALOT BETTER THAN JOE ALLEN AND ACTUALLY LOOKS TO DO SOMETHING IN THE GAME!!!
I BLAME KENNY AND COMOLLI FOR THIS MESS, HAD ALL THE RIGHT FUNDS TO TURN IS INTO A PROPER FORCE AND BOUGHT CARROLL DOWNING AND HENDERSON INSTEAD!"
"Too much trust is put in suarez. Yes he's been pretty much faultless today but we need a goal scorer and i cant understand why we arent trying 1 or 2 out.I think sterling is being well over played. He'l end up getting frustrated and loosing confidence."
"Time to be realistic. We are nowhere close to the Champion's League. We domintate games but have no penetration whatsoever, other than Luis and, at times, Raheem. We have no impact players other than the above mentioned."
"I may get some stick for saying this but Nuri Sahin has not brought much to our squad - skillful yes but so slow... I'd rather have Shelvey starting matches. Irrespective of what I think, Luis's goal has to be a 'goal of the season' contender. What a player.."
"Nothing to say, nothing to write, youngsters cost us. Lack of game killing strikez like suarez, man for lfc for life. Plz rogerz we want anothe strker asap"
"Assaidi should have replaced sterling in the final 10mins,we would have had more edge with his pace against the tired newcastle defence...clearly sterling was exhausted"
"We have 65% possession, but can not score, that's the problem. We have the ball but don't get it in the box. We had crosses, but nobody in the box! We need at least 2 offensive players in the january window, one of them a central striker who can support Suarez! We need at least 30 mio, FSG the time for excuses is over!"
"Assaidi should have replaced sterling in the final 10mins,we would have had more edge with his pace against the tired newcastle defence...clearly sterling was exhausted"
"If Suarez is off, I still can't see now where the goal can come from. Pacey winger, but with no one in the box is useless. Creative midfielder, but with noone ready to recieve the final pass is useless either.
"
"Assaidi should have replaced sterling in the final 10mins,we would have had more edge with his pace against the tired newcastle defence...clearly sterling was exhausted"
"Thanks Loz99, just wanted to concentrate on the positives today, we all know the negatives & can do nothing about it until Jan.
King Luis was magnificent again."
"Assaidi should have replaced sterling in the final 10mins,we would have had more edge with his pace against the tired newcastle defence...clearly sterling was exhausted"
"Thanks Loz99, just wanted to concentrate on the positives today, we all know the negatives & can do nothing about it until Jan.
King Luis was magnificent again."
"disagree with rushrush. I think shelvey is one of the more direct midfield players we have who looks like he wants to get beyond the ball and in the box, he makes things happen. I always panic when teams run at our back four though. Too easy to score against us."
"The team played well in the second half. If we can reproduce that type of intensity for 90 minutes, then we'll be fine. It'd be better to see one or two players committing themeselves into the box more often. I thought we were a bit unlucky fo the their goal. An opportunity was missed to tackle the crossing player and Jones was unsighted."
"SUAREZ IS THE ONLY MAN ALIVE IN LFC ATTACKING FRONT!!!!.....WHY NOT PLAY ASSAIDI WITH HIM?????????? THE REST ARE EXCESS BAGGAGE FORWARDS & SHLD B PACKING TO OUT ON D NXT FLITE OUT OF JOHN LENNON'S! DISMAYED ANGRY F**K OUT...YOU NAME IT!"
"When I watch MU, goal threats are clearly coming from everywhere. From the cross, from the middle, through the air or through the floor, from direct play or passsing play. Liverpool? Suarez and Shelvey are the only threats."
"you say shelvey is today but he still get more change to score than anyone else. what does sahin, allen, gerrard, suso do on the pitch? they just pass the ball around, try driver and lost the ball. no one support suarez when we attack until shelvey come in. "
"I just can'y get enough, I just can't get enough! On the subject of music. How about a song for the fans who got soaked! Maybe something by Wet Wet Wet? (bad attempt at humour)... I didn't go the game today, never been in the Main Stand anyway! Would of been gutted to have been there Brrrrrr!!! "
"were cryin out 4 a striker cant relie on luis all the time shoulduv won this 1 how many times have we said that this season roll on the transfer window ynwa"
"There is no denying that Suarez is a delight to watch BUT it is time we lessen the pressure on him by buying at least two reliable strikers! Suarez is one who can create space but he has no one in front of him to pass to who can score!"
"dissapointed massively with another failure to win at home, but hard to be downbeat after something so sublime from Luis. That was simply awesome that goal"
"As far as strikers, still can't see why carol wouldn't work, at least he'd be something on the end of the 40 crosses or however many, and not bad at build up play, sometimes they can't keep up with suarez and he gets isolated. plus he's FREE!! "
"Honestly, we need quality attacking mid fielders and strikers come january to support Suarez upfront. We could have won today's match but due to shortage of quality subs and striker to assist Suarez. also, our midfielders are average in performance today."
"I think is putting pressure on the young lads especially suso and wisdom.I must say that we tried today, should have won it.but what marvels me is that our goal doesn't come from the pattern of play advocates.we really need reinforcement in january.it seems Suarez is our saviour now. What a goal !!! Suarez is good. Congrats to SG.YNWA"
"It was a great match and I enjoyed watching it. The only problem as usual is scoring goals and until Rodgers won't get his strikers, we'll keep on enjoying but will suffer from the final result."
"Rodgers had £25 million to spend on a proper striker during the summer, but he did not do it! Scoring goals was the only problem last year. Rodgers then throws the baby out with the bath water and leaves us with a depleted squad, especially up front!!! Rodgers is trying to reinvent the wheel and costing us games."
"If we had these officials who did today's game reff all of our other games this season, we would have more points. Very fair reff today welldone! Same as usual though short of striking options, it's true that only Suarez is a goal threat, the rest of them just ain't got a goal in them, Chelsea away next week... easy 3 points there! YNWA "
"JONJO ASSAIDI YESIL SHLD PLAY MORE WITH LUIS UPFRONT...NO ONE IN BOX TO CONNECT WINGERS CROSS MOST TIMES. NOT ADVENTUROUS AT ALL. UTTER FAILURE. SWITCH OFF TELLY AS CABAYE SCORED! PLS PLAY A SENSIBLE GAME AGNST CHELSKI!! CAN THEY BEAT THE ODDS???? FSG IS WORST THAN THE GLAZIERS....DON'T UNDERSTAND "SOCCER"...OWH WAIT, IS IT FOOTBALL??? IT'S CALLED FOOTBALL IN ENGLAND....GGGRRRRRRRRRR!"
"i thinks its high time rogers practices what he preaches he says we will play the liverpool way but all i see him doing is playing us like a second swansea to much passing back instead of going forward "
"As for suarez, awesome today. the best I've seen him, not because of the goal but he brought other players into the play and his link up was also great, hope this is a sign of things to come."
"Super, super goal from Suarez. Other players need to get into the box - and then MUST finish. Shelvey should definitely have put one of his two chances away and Sterling wanted far too long to shoot when in the clear."
"liverpool teams of old always attacked from the back and defended from the front as shanks and paisley used to say anfield is becoming a joke because we play with fear at home all teams see us doing is back pass to the keeper which in my eyes displays fear rogers will do us a lot of harm mark my words ynwa time for raffa"
"JO ALLEN WAS THE LEAST EFFECTIVE PLAYER ON THE PITCH FOR LFC YET RODGERS CHOSE TO LEAVE HIM ON WHY?
ALL HE DID WAS SHOW HOW PIGHEADED HE IS AND THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING"
"Suarez brilliant! But how van we expect to move up the table, with such poor delivery from at least 8 corners during this game alone! Very POOR! Gerrard, Shelvey & Downing all put in very poor corners!"
"I like BR, and i think he's gonna do a good job if given the time.
My only criticism is we should have a striker on the bench, even if its a kid. And we should be flexible enough to revert to a 4-4-2 if the system isnt working."
"Our midfield was ordinary. Allen was below par. Again, so much possession and just can't finish the opposition off. NUFC had less than a handful of chances and lead for two thirds of the game. My MOTM Suarez is a cut above the rest. Forever Red! "
"Dissapointed with this "midtable result",from game to game we used to look like this kind of team...Only Stoke has more draws.It's useless to mention that Suarez is alone upfront and that 4-3-3 DOES NOT work,Mr.Rodgers...Similar situation as like as vs Stoke or Sunderland on Anfield.Cntd..."
"Same old story. Roll on January and at least 2 strikers. Felt a bit sorry for Jonjo. He came on and was the first midfielder in the match to get in the box. Just didn't happen for him today. He should have come on for Sahin at half time. Bit disappointed with Allen giving the ball away today."
"BRENDAN YOUR INABILLITY TO GET THE BEST OUT OF OUR SQUAD WILL SEE THE DEPARTURE OF SUAREZ AT THE END OF THE SEASON. STOP PLAYING YOUR LOVECHILD AND PUT OUT A TEAM THAT CAN WIN"
"Just got back. We were brilliant! What is all the fuss about? We are a couple of decent strikers from being a top team. We totally outplayed NUFC but once again we need a finisher. Suarez, SG and Sterling were imperious. Our defence is solid. Suso is going to be a STAR! "
"PATIENCE!!! CARRY ON PLAYING THE WAY WE ARE AND WE WILL BE SAYING THE SAME THING NEXT YEAR. THIS TIME THOUGH AFTER A DEFEAT TO DERBY COUNTY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. There is clearly too many players who have lost confidence of late. Passing is mis-guided, lack of ideas in oppossion box and long periods of getting dominated by an opposing team at Anfield - Swansea and Newcastle, hardly giants. "
"Before someone pipes up about our 2nd string against the Swans. I saw a 2nd half m/f and frds of Jonjo, Stevie, Allen, Downing, Luis and later Sterling chase shadows. The system isn't working. I won't say it will never work or say BR in't the right man. But we cannot keep on dropping points against average sides. "
"We can paint over it by highlighting periods of the game where chances fall and a superior possession whilst conveniently forgetting the oppositions periods of dominating and making chances. Change the system before it's too late. Joking about Championship by the way! But you could never dismiss it! Even in Jan. Rumoured £10m kitty. Wipee!"
"...So,once again-how long?In already"thin squad",we have Allen and Sahin out of form,Suso,Wisdom and Shelvey unexperienced and overused,fact.Mr.Rodgers,you and fans watch film called-"FSG invests as low as possible".However,they got high hopes and expect results.|Simply,unacceptable.YNWA>"
"Has anyone seen Dempsey that tree puller lately, lol. We are so lucky that we have a stubborn board or we would be saddled with another misfit. We need to get Walcott and promote Morgan or Yesil and then watch us go..WE could always try for Huntelaar but not sure he would come. "
"Ani, what are you talking about. Did you go the game? We totally outplayed them and we have a very young side that will only get better. One clinical striker will change everything. So lay off the long winded doomsday preaching and pray for a striker. "
"Why do we always buy in January? In footballing terms, it's the reverse of the January sales. The immediate problem seems to be getting enough players to attack the penalty area, without being vulnerable to counter-attacks. The balance is slightly wrong at the moment, with too few getting near the spot/six-yard box. You see players wanting to pass into those areas."
"The simple fact is we are doing beyond amazing with the resources at hand. Players like Suso and Sterling will be diamonds in a few years and all the better for being bedded in now. We have unfortunately wasted too much money and now we are paying the price. We now have to be cute in the transfer market"
"Another draw, and at home !!! The youngsters will take time to get to the high standard that is required. Criticisms - the quality of balls into the box was very poor, taking on too much at times and then losing possession, unsure what to do when in possession. Can these problems be corrected - I certainly hope so.But we must keep hoping - YNWA "
"Buddha. Give me some of what you have been smoking pal! Assuming you drove, i'm glad you got home safe. Very dangerous driving and seeing things that other people don't!"
"EVERYONE!!! STOP WRITING!!!! NO ONE IN LFC IS INTERESTED TO HEAR OUR VOICES!!!! JUST WASTING TIME POSTING!!! BE PREPARED FOR CHEAPER TICKETS IN CHAMPIONSHIPS NEXT SEASON...CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH LEICESTER NOTTS FOREST DERBY PLAY YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!"
"Apart from set pieces we hardly got pressed in defence. We were very comfortable. At the other end we were a constant menace and with a clinical finisher the game would have been over in the first half. Any intelligent person will know that we don't have the finances to buy a world class striker so we have to find potential. "
"Suarez is in a different league and he may start wishing he was in a different team if he has to keep trying to win games by himself, time the others pulled their fingers out! We'll be lucky to finish mid-table at this rate! And without Suarez we could be in a relegation battle!"
"Buddha. Didn't go to the game. I am giving an honest assessment. You my friend are being pig-headed or very naive. No doubting your an intelligent person but you have put so much faith in BR and staunchly backed him that you cannot become subjective anymore. Just like the people who you criticised for sticking by the last manager. "
"Ani, If you didn't see us dominate the game with only a clinical striker missing to finish the chances then those tears for you know who is clearly blocking your vision. Just check out the stats when you have calmed down and you will see we were on top. You should watch it on MOTM2 at 10.25pm and maybe you will concur. "
"rubin69 If suarez & torres are playing together its because suarez has been sold! the only chance of torres being at chelsea is if he comes for free!"
"Stop all this moaning, it's a long job getting us back into contention.people calling for drastic measures after a fe games. Give me a break. Whilst I would love get a striker or two in January can't say I am bothered. Wait till summer and buy for the long run."
"Take a chill pill. KD and DC put BR in this position. Downing, Hendo, Adam and Carroll are not good enough for us and this is why they don't start/no longer at the club. You can't blame FSG for being cautious after what they've invested.
You only have to look at Swansea... Unlucky against City, demolished us and drew with Chelsea. This down to BR. Give BR a break, he's doing the best he can. "
"Its amazing how some respond with hysteria when we have just witnessed us completely dominate a game against a very good team, a team if you remember was yards ahead of us last season. If we get two quality strikers then its game on. BR was handicapped by the tightening of the purse strings and alas this was necessary or we could have gone bust. "
"HERE WE GO AGAIN, WE DIDN'T WIN SO WE HAVE TO FIND SOMEONE TO BLAME. FSG, SHELVEY, RODGERS, ALLEN, DOWNING OR HENDERSON ?? WHO'S TURN IS IT TODAY ?? 4 MONTHS IN AND SOME LUNATICS WANT RODGERS OUT. GIVE THE MAN A CHANCE !!! CAN'T FAULT THE EFFORT TODAY, WIN, LOSE OR DRAW, WITH YOU ALL THE WAY REDMEN !!"
"You can't fault Rodgers. His tactics work. The only thing he can't do is run onto the pitch and finish off chances himself. As for a new striker; sure we need someone to take the pressure off Suarez so he can get a rest but as far as strikers go he's only behind Van Persie in the top scorers list. continued..."
"Lazza11, its amazing how some who whole heartedly supported the debacle of last season now have the temerity to admonish someone who inherited the mess. BR wishes he could buy Falcao etc but its wishful thinking based on what he inherited. So now BR has to be cute and he is showing that he is more than capable of this. "
"Fake fans want instant results. True fans support, trust and stay loyal through thick and thin.
A lot of you need to be "educated" as BR would say :)"
"We need the other players to pitch in with more goals. Sterling and Suso have scored one between them. That's ok because they're young and it's their first run of games in this league. We need more goals from midfield too. As much as we could use a new striker I don't think we need to "replace" Suarez in that position. Once the others start pitching in with goals, we'll do better."
"I can understand the frustration as its galling to see so many chances not taken, but due to excesses of the past we didn't buy a much needed striker. This will be remedied in January and this time there will be no panic buy as I am sure BR has pin pointed his target. Then watch us roll. "
"buddha131307, I know mate, Liverpool are a mess. BR has been brought in to change the club from top to bottom. A lot people can't see this and want instant success... Liverpool are NOT a top team any more. We need a lot of work and patience to get back to the top... Trust people!"
"Getting a striker will allow Suarez to continue his brilliant work and then tee up the striker for the goals. We have a brilliant young team in the image of our brilliant young manager. Everyone knew I wanted Rafa back and I still believe he would have been good but with the limited finance we had it might not have worked. BR is the right fit at the right time. "
"I know it's not going to happen, but if I had my wish and if FSG wanted to get serious about winning, they would sign the two strikers in the world that our magician Suarez loves to team with and has proven to make a deadly combination. Cavani and Huntelaar. Not going to happen, but I can dream. YNWA"
"Lazza11, it beggars belief when some seemingly intelligent people go on a long rant that bears no witness to the truth. If we had played badly today, I would gladly say so, we didn't and so I will defend us. I am popping out hopefully when I get back sanity would have prevailed. Rushjob please have a word with your mate, jeez! "
"Tend to agree with Buddha for once!We are just short of a striker or 2. Apart from that we're pretty sorted. Impressed with Suarez today. if he plays like that for the next 20 games i may change my opinion of him (and if he stops screaming like a little girl every time he gets touched)"
"buddha131307, the stats speak for themselves. 65% posession, 23 attempts and 14 corners and this was with 4 youth players in the team. Yet people call for BR's head????? I'm very confused...
If we had Reina in goal, maybe we would've won 1-0. Who knows... Because I feel Jones could've done much better."
"We're playing much better than the last few seasons. bUT we urgently need a striker to finish the ample opportunities. Also concerned about overplaying Luis, Gerrard, Sterling. Many young and inexperienced players as well. I'm positive about the future. YNWA"
"Some unbelieveable comments on here. What's the point on stating the obvious every game; we know we need quality strikers, we haven't got them, cannot get them until Jan, so why keep harping on about it. Can we not just enjoy the way we played today AND DIDN'T LOSE, and revel in Suarez's magic."
"Bleating on about needing strikers up until 31st Dec will not get us a new striker. With what weak squad we have we are doing incredibly well, on paper we should be in the bottom three."
"PPL like buddha131307 and LFC THRU THICK + THIN make me laugh so much... its like a battered women saying *YEAH HE BEATS ME EVERY WEEKEND AND TREATS ME LIKE A SLAVE, BUT HES GOOD IN BED AND DRESSES NICE*.
Like you guys have no idea how pethetic yol sound, instead of coming across like the super fans yol want to be yol coming across as mocking us n the club"
"buddha131307 & Lazza11, I may have missed something, but I can't seem to see why you're both disagreeing with each other, you both seem to be making the same point that BR is good for the team. Maybe I missed an earlier comment??"
"It's not tough luck for Shelvey. He is just not good enough. Wisdom, Shelvey, Downing all are good for Championship league. Suarez needs players like Gerrard, Ericksson, Cavani, Saldado. Players with pace and brain and composure. To keep Suarez at Anfield, players like I mentioned are must. FSG pay now or Suarez is a goner!! "
"champions of europe. i dont think we even need to buy a striker. just use what weve got. weve got strikers. unproven i know but instead of buying 20-30mil strikers lets make them.think br should put 1 on the bench instead of god knows how many midfielders "
"When Rushjob reads posts Buddha he will see a subjective contributor who is relaying results, highlighting periods of the opposition dominating or the opposition creating/converting chances. Mainly converting more than us! CONTD"
"Then he will see Buddha being ultra-defensive and deflecting blame. My only demand is that Brendan changes the system. Tikka Takka (or whatever you call it?) needs to be played when players are confident and buzzing. When it works- great, when it doesn't it needs to be addressed and not persevered with. That's dangerous and that my friends- Is my opinion. "
"redahead, completely, it is a risk with unproven strikers, but as I have also queried for the last few games, why none on the bench, can't do any harm bringing Yesil, Morgan or Pacheo on."
"KD and BR both got same spending money, the money KD spent was from him selling torres meireles 62m plus afew others, BR tried to do same by selling carroll and agger FACT, so stop printing rubbish here. thank you."
" South African Scouser you are so right lmao, i just cant take LFC THRU THICK + THIN and buddha131307 seriously anymore I dont know if they mean what they say or if they being sarcastic... we just drew against a team we beat 3-0 last year and only dominated once they went down to 10 men but they so happy and satisfied ?"
"SOUTHAFRICANSCOUSER, AS THE LEGEND STEVIE.G SAID RECENTLY; "IT'S ABOUT UPS AND DOWNS". YOU AND MANY OTHERS NEED TO TAKE THIS ON BOARD. CHOPPING + CHANGING MANAGERS WON'T HELP THE SITUATION, WE NEED STABILITY. FOR ONCE, I AGREE WITH BUDDHA, NOT MUCH WRONG WITH TODAY'S PERFORMANCE. KNEEJERK REACTION FROM SOUTH AFRICA ."
"I WAS THERE, CHELSEA DREW WITH SWANSEA YESTERDAY AND MAN.C DREW WITH W.HAM. DOES THAT MAKE THEM ORDINARY AS WELL ?? BY THE WAY, NEWCASTLE HAD 10 MEN FOR ABOUT 10 MINS AT THE MOST. SACK EVERYONE, GIVE THE NEXT BOSS 4 MONTHS, SACK HIM, YOU ARE TALKING NONSENSE."
" I was there (Istanbul)... welcome to the BR era buddy aka Roy 2.0 where we celebrate drawing matches **AT HOME** we comfortbly won the season before, where we pay players (carroll n Spearing) to play for other teams n then complain about having a thin squad,where we are the laughing stoke, where out top player will leave n go play CL fooball n even win it like Torres did."
"OUR PLAYERS TALK ABOUT LFC'S WONDERFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE SUPPORTERS, THEN THEY OBVIOUSLY DON'T READ THE COMMENTS ON THESE PAGES THEN. IF ANY OF YOU THINK 4-5 MONTHS IS ENOUGH TIME FOR BRENDAN RODGERS THEN YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL. STICK TO TRAINSPOTTING AND STAMP COLLECTING !!!"
"IN THE FAMOUS WORDS OF BILL SHANKLEY; "IF YOU CAN'T SUPPORT US WHEN WE LOSE OR DRAW, THEN DON'T SUPPORT US WHEN WE WIN". FICKLE, VERY, VERY, FICKLE !!! "
"Not bad but there are still too many 'bad' decisions and actions when chances appear. I thought we used long diagonal passes today more than before, and it worked well. I smell progress!"
" LFC THRU THICK + THIN i dont know if you ed or if you BR himself... Chelsea and Man City draws were away not at home against 10men. I could also say to you that Man City beat Westbrom at the horthorns and we lost there 3-0 so whats yo point ? Take yourself seriously 1st before we can take you seriously buddy, you making a fool of yourself"
"It was very interesting..Suarez got the goal from the long ball. Someone must have been tired of this passing game (otherwise we would lose) and decided to take the chance with long ball. I am sure it was not according to BR's liking."
"LFC THRU THICK + THIN Nah Mr we support Liverpool just not the manager in charge and thats what you dont get you've got your head too far up your a** trying to be a super better then everyone fan that your small mind cant see that. And your comment about Chelsea and Man City was irrelevant coz those teams drew away against 11 players"
"We are vulnerable and leave ourselves seriously exposed too often. We concede more than we score and after some initial bad luck and dodgy decisions the table now reflect our performances. Suso gets lost at times. Sterling regularly doesn't have options after getting in good positions. Gerrard not a shadow of his best. Sahin frustrating and Suarez class. "
"Can someone tell me what Joe Allen has that J Hendo hasn't? Protects back 4! Hmmm done a good job there- conceded more than scored! Creates chances! Erm, no! Yet Joe Allen is destined for greatness ala Xavi and courted By Madrid and Barca. The other being labelled a misfit! I don't see much difference personally "
"I was there and South African, I guess you two are frustrated and I can understand why but railing against everyone is not going to make your points any more salient. We are in a transition period so if its too painful for you why don't you close your eyes and ears for a year and I will give you a nudge when we have taken off, cool?"
"The simple and very obvious point is that those harking back to the halcyon days are living in cloud cuckoo land. We unfortunately have been mismanaged and I am not talking solely about KD. We need a period of stability which requires common sense - which alas some fans are bereft of. I am off out again hoping to return to calm, sane and joy. "
"Okay,time for the moaners and doubters to stop whining. We drew, get over it, it's a work in progress, after G&H, stop for crying out loud blaming FSG everytime we don't get 3 points. It will take TIME, it's a work in progress, and PROGRESS it what I see. There is nothing more disheartening than reading some of these ludicrous posts! "
"It breaks your heart to see the fabulous Luis work his guts out with no real other stikeforce to help.Shame on the idiot or idiots who did not see what was going to happen at the end of the window.What a state they have reduced off to."
"So Rome wasn't built in a day as what some people are implying! How ironic! How come these same people wouldn't apply the same logic with the last manager but are now staunchly protecting someone with no great management record and currently has a poorer record than his successor? #justsaying It continues to be one camp or another for some on here. #superfans"
"Just read a comment that it is about taking the ups and the downs. Well we have been down since Kenny resigned the first time. Tell me when we were last up at the top? Total rubbish again today. Get shut of BR!"
"For all you doom and gloom armchair fans tell me this- sack BR and then what??? Subject the squad to yet another manager who will being new players and formations in and start at square 1 AGAIN! Then they need time for the new squad/formation/coaching staff to bed in (time which you won't give them based on today''s comments). Well done- ur now Chelsea fans"
"We are 1 clinical striker and the return of Lucas (as Allen is class but not a def midfielder) from challenging the top 4. The realistic fans who are intelligent always knew this season was goin to be the rubbish one where we have to be patient and then reap the rewards next season onwards. "
"Coming from an Australian who can't watch the games it is heartbreaking to wake up and find out that my beloved Liverpool have yet again drawn at Anfield. I am completely over it"
"Mavis " we drew get over it" It's not just today, we have won one at home and that was 1-0 against Reading. As for the progress, when we take a step forward, we then seem to take one back, At the end of the day, it's results that count. I admit we have played some great stuff this season ( like last ) and then some mediocre. We need more consistency and at times more effort."
"disappointing performance & more worrying that BR thinks we were great. NU were poor didn't even get out of their half for 1st 20mins, but we created only 1 real effort, the tempo was slow. Allen & Stevie were more sideways passing then Hendo. We only upped the tempo when we scored from hoof football. "
"We don't need a striker we need centre mid who pass (short forward pass) & then move beyond the player they just passed to. Sterling & Suso are making good runs with the ball but are getting hung out to dry with no one running beyond them"
"Why when we attack, there are no Red shirts in or around the box. When a wide player has the ball, nobody from the midfield makes a quick run in to the box for the cross. There is only Suarez at times. And if Suarez is with the ball, no other attacker is seen in the box? Why has Mr.Rodgers not looked into this issue? Why is there no crowding of Red shirts from the midfield in to the box?"
"Again with the 'why BR not doing this'...'whys he didnt play them'...'why not this and that about BR'. It's called BUILDING THE FREAKIN' TEAM guys! 10 games into the season and you're calling for the guy's head. We're playing more youngsters now more than I can remember when. "Support us even when we draw or lose" doesn't mean leave the manager behind long the way."

"Please bring in Harry Redknapp.He'll do marvelous job at Anfield. And get more black players as they are more worth and better quality. Wasted much of the money on Henderson,Downing and Borini. "
"BR inherited his own mess. He agreed to sell Maxi, Kuyt and Bellami. He decided to forced Carroll out. He failed all the summer to buy a descent striker. After he tried to hide his fiasco by claiming that he likes small squad. And eventually he is using the small squad, the one that he has made, as an excuse for his unacceptable results. "
"BR ..he changed the THIS IS ANFIELD signage ..claimed will make anfield a fotress..
BR we must NOT concede and try to win all our home games..
Playing Downing & Enrique will not offer that ..& for god's sake ..please bench Joe Allen & play Hendo instead ...Allen is running out of gas & all he does is pass sidewasy ..
If Enrique ddint hoof the ball up , we would have lost !!"
"ANI-RD FINAL ACC because compare to Rodgers, KK had the resources at his disposal and the opportunity to make LFC greater than when he took over in 2011 and ended at 6th place but instead made the club a mess with most of the VERY EXPENSIVE signings being what many fans knew already before they came to the club...AVERAGE and not worth all that money. "
"Allen vs Henderson, there is a huge difference one improves the squad and takes initiative, the other one seems to be afraid and sometimes pass the ball to get rid of it. Everything positive that jordan can contribute at the moment during a match, Allen can do it 4 or 5 times better and he has only been here a few months...I agree we havent seen much of him as an "attacking midfield"."
"We need another Luis the other teammates are just too average but you cant squueze out talent from players more talented players needed. Maybe Assaidi should get his chance now another dimension of attack."
"SASCOUSER + IWASTHERE, WE PLAYED AGAINST 11 MEN FOR ABOUT 80 MINS. THE PAIR OF YOU HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE, SIMPLE AS THAT. I WAS THERE, JUDGING BY YOUR COMMENTS, YOU MUST HAVE LEFT AT HALF TIME IN ISTANBUL. 1-1 DRAW V A DECENT NEWCASTLE TEAM AND YOU'RE HYSTERICAL ??? HAVE YOU EVER KICKED A BALL ??"
"TRAINSPOTTERS, BUS SPOTTERS, STAMP COLLECTORS AND CLUELESS OVERWEIGHT LARDY'S POSTING NEGATIVE COMMENTS INSTEAD OF GETTING RIGHT BEHIND THE MANAGER AND PLAYERS. IT'S CLEAR AS DAY THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE NEVER KICKED A BALL IN YOUR LIFE. FICKLE AND EMBARRASSING !!"
"IN BR I TRUST. THE ONLY PLAYER WORTH PRAISING LAST NIGHT WAS SUAREZ.SO GLAD WE STILL HAVE HIM.JONJO IS WASTEFUL,INCONSISTANT,AND FULL OF HIMSELF,QUITE A SELFISH PLAYER."
"At buddha131307... I cant close my eyes and ears and look away coz I LOVE LIVERPOOL and i realy see that you dont get that, its in my blood to watch Liverpool games everyweek n check on its ongoings everyday. I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS LIVEROPOOL UNDER BR AND I DONT WANT THIS LIVERPOOL UNDER BR I WANT THE LIVERPOOL I KNOW ... so just coz you ok with this bull doesnt mean we all have to"
"And be carefull what you wish for !!! you think the barcas and the Real Mds and the PSGs arent watching Suarez playing brilliantly and scoring wonder goals ?? are yol stupid enough to think just coz yol willing to wait 3years that Suarez is also willing to wait without CL football like you ?????? it happened with Torres so be carefull what you ask for"
"I hear you Lludwig... Yeah BR hasn't had the resources at his disposal and seen a number of experienced match winners depart. So who's fault is it? Ian Ayre and Commoli for both negotiating and autherising payments during the summer of 2011? "
"Perhaps blame the owners who stated that KD was never going be their long term solution, yet when they do get their man they say ship out a number of players and you have £30m to spend. Use it wisely! "
"Facts are that there hasn't been a massive Net investment overall. The wage bill would of come down massively with Dirk, Maxi, Bellers and Aqua leaving. Those 4 combined could have wages in excess of £30m per yr. So much emphasis is put towards transfer fees when it is wages that are the biggest financial drain. "
"I can see what FSG are trying to do. They want a manager to play more youngsters on lower wages whilst our current big earners will phase out eventually. Carra, Stevie etc. A big fee for Suarez would tempt the owners as what would of happened when they (fsg) or BR was touting round Agger last summer. "
"We are making allowances for owners who either haven't got finances or don't wan't to release any. How the mighty have fallen! Many supporters accepting owners who have as much money as Everton and are confident their manager has the credentials to triumph on so little finances whilst relying on a continual flow of wonder kids from the academy. FSG Please prove me wrong and show us the money.
