"Yesterdays results were not good at all for liverpool, teams around us all gained points (Swansea getting a point, Norwich now on same points as us and Wigan are now above us) which then terns todays game into a must win and nothing els.
BR today you MUST deliver excuses are over this is game no.10"
"What a good line-up! Nothing to amaze. A pity not to see Pepe and Glen involved in the game! I hope Jones and Enrique will replace them decently! Please a couple of goals and a clean sheet lads! Come on you mighty Reds! YNWA"
"The best we can field ,I hope we are good enough , some how Im not as confident as I like to be , my heart says win , my head says the best we can hope for is a draw. Suddenly this squad looks not only thin but very week , good luck lads YNWA"
"good team selection although would've liked to see morgan on the bench (no goal threat on bench) also bit worried about enrique selection but hey i'm not a manager so come on reds lets all get behind them and make some serious noise YNWA"
"This is a must win game a draw is unexeptable, a loss and BR has to go END OF. This is the big game number *10* I dont wana hear any excuses from BR and his fans we've just about had enough of that.
Goodluck team and go get us 3points"
"Right starting lineup as expected! Come on reds!!! However, I am amazed that we do not stick a striker on the bench. i.e. Yesil or Morgan. What happens if Suarez gets injured early (god forbid)! do we do without a striker for the rest of the match!"
"All the AMs can double up as strikers if needed, but not ideal. Who knows why no strikers on the bench ?! BRs 10th EPL match, this is crunch time. A must win."
"LMAO everytime Joe Allan tries to make a forward pass he looses the ball, its the funniest thing ever... he is absolutly useless when it comes to anything going forward -->>"
"We need a midfielder to initiate play, do cutting threading passes etc, Joe Allen is NOT this person. He just passes the ball as soon as he gets it ! waste of money."
"Yep... that is how its done..to bad we don't have players that can finish like that... the pressure is building up on Henry to bring funds... We will lose this game.."
"Glad other supporters are beginning to realise that Allen is a liability. I am certain thet Jonjo would be more of a threat, and less likely to be brushed aside. £15m should have bought us a decent striker who knows where the net is. "
"GET JOE ALLEN OFF THE PITCH, I SAID BEFORE WE GOT HIM AND I STILL STAND BY IT HES RUBBISH AND WE COULD HAVE SPENT THAT 15MILLION ON SOMEONE ALOT BETTER, ALL HE CAN DO IS PASS IT BACK OR SIDEWAYS. GET SHELVEY ON"
"BR - how many more games are you going to start with the dwarf Allen??
Get Shelvey on now - we wont win anything with Allen - he cant even play the short square passes today! Let alone a defence spliting forward pass!"
"Sick and tired of this team. Wont waste any of my time watching any of their matches. They are so undetermined to contest for anything apart from relegation. Done Period!!!!!"
"LFC ARE OFFICIALLY THE TEST TEAM IN THE PL. THEY ARE JUST A JOKE. THEY ACTUALLY PUT ME OFF WATCHING FOOTBALL, AND JUST FOOTBALL IN GENERAL. THEY RUIN MY WEEKENDS AND MAKE IT A CRAP WEEK IN WORK ALL THE TIME. THANKS A LOT"
"team selection looked good on paper,started well ,but giving possession away to easy and in dodgy areas ,we must up tempo and use possession better . come on guys we need 3 points
"
"Why is Stevie playing so deep? He needs to be further up the pitch. Joe Allen is having a nightmate game again. Come on lads, we have to win this one. "
"SG is playing deep to cover for Allens mistakes. He looks like a boy in a mans game out there. £15M for a player that cannot score and give possession away! OMG"
"looks like another bad day at the office we seriously need to put striking options on the bench morgan/yesil or ngoo also enrique is out of form still allen is not playing well enough assaidi needs to be on the pitch aswell as shelvey otherwise another loss at anfield very upset with our poor play up front NOT GOOD ENOUGH LADS COME ON CHINS UP AND KICK A*S 2ND HALF"
"The team is playing like they expect to lose now they have gone a goal down.I think I would have played Carra at full back just to have him remind players who they are playing for."
"A GOOD manager gets the best out of the squad he has. He will adopt a style of play to suit the players he has. BR stop being so pigheaded and get the players you have playing to the best of their abilities with a style that suits the team NOT YOU!"
"A GOOD manager gets the best out of the squad he has. He will adopt a style of play to suit the players he has. BR stop being so pigheaded and get the players you have playing to the best of their abilities with a style that suits the team NOT YOU!"
"Instead of just playing simple 4-4-2 with morgan or yesil as second striker, he is trying to show us his skills..Chelsea will spell liverpool next week."
"When I think of the replacemnts for Kuyt, Bellamy and Carrol etc, I am really worried about where we are going this season. Ticky-Tacky appears to be not winning games,and there are no options. Even if we have the money in Jan, who would want to come to Liverpool? "
"at last someone gets penalised for attempted gbh on luis maybe there are some sensible refs out there then come on reds lets be havin you COME ON !!!"
"i want rodgers to be given time but if he keeps favouring allen and playing him every game over better players(shelvey) then he has to go, allen brings nothing to the team, he tries to head the ball when no1 is around and still misses it hes not worthy of a red shirt"
"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"
"another home match with no luck cant wait till january for a top striker but till then we need a striker on the bench morgan/yesil or ngoo and personally think assaidi should be given starts certainly at home and allen needs to be rested "
"Well at least we got a point and the lads weren't beaten, I was expecting Newcastle to open up a can of woopaz.. but we really need some attacking signings.."
"FSG I NOW DEMAND THAT YOU SIGN WORLD CLASS PLAYERS TO PLAY WITH SUAREZ. OTHERWISE I HOPE HE LEAVES TO REAL OR BARCA COZ THATS WHAT HE DESERVES. THE REST OF THE TEAM ARE NOWHERE NEAR WORLD CLASS"
"FSG I NOW DEMAND THAT YOU SIGN WORLD CLASS PLAYERS TO PLAY WITH SUAREZ. OTHERWISE I HOPE HE LEAVES TO REAL OR BARCA COZ THATS WHAT HE DESERVES. THE REST OF THE TEAM ARE NOWHERE NEAR WORLD CLASS"
"Why does everyone moan about Allen?? He keeps the ball, recycles it, gives it to players in space. He's not a flashy player and he does his job well.
Shelvey, who people seem to love, is the equivalent to what David Ngog would be like as a midfielder. Useless player.."
"Phil, we dont need an over paid £15M player to do that job. With that money we could have got a striker! If we want to keep the ball and pass it, we can give it to Reina or Jones. They can use their hands !!"
"agree with you PhilDunphy, joe allen is a great player, sterling and shelvey are overrated, dont know why br stick with sterling, he should be replaced by assaidi"
"If you want to keep possession, then you need a player like him to do that. He did it at Swansea, he received praise. He does it here, he's moaned at. It's clear he knows there are more creative players than him so he gets the ball moving towards those players. It's about patience.
I personally like him. I know that when the ball comes to him, we'll keep the ball."
"There are 3 or 4 people here that are showing their ignorance and are way too quick to jump on peoples backs. Joe Allen is not supposed to be the one driving foward. He was bought to be the passer and creater but with lucas injuried, he has been become the defensive player who's job is just to break things up. We can't have our whole midfield attacking."
