"Jones is a long way from a #1 keeper,hoofs the ball forward at every opportunity plus if yer gonna come off your line(which he shouldn't have) he needs to be quick(Reina quick). How many goals has he been responsible for in his short period of starting? Hope Pepe does not go anywhere soon!"
"Well, Hendo got his chance. Yet again he shows why he doesn't get a game. he missed two glorious chances and overall he was very poor.not many positives to take from this. anzi area poor team and not one of our players stepped up to the plate."
"Ive seen better football in a sunday league game! Wasteful(whatever chances we had) and joe cole has stamped his own one way ticket out of liverpool, shame actually he used to be okay"
"Joe Cole has wasted the chance created by Suso. This is a game to test & get the proof from players like Cole & Handerson whether they are really a flop. "
"Disappointed for the defeat but decent performance! Anzhi created many more chances than us but we played a decent second half and created something! Credit to Anzhi that deserved the full spoil. Morgan does not look to me ready to play at that stage yet, he's still a youngsters, he will make it! Shelvey (MOTM), Pacheco and Suso are a pleasing news for me! Keep working hard young lads! YNWA"
"Pretty good performance I thought considering we were playing a TOP Russian side with many youngsters. Just feel it has given many a chance to vent their overall anger at LFC's current plight. There is a lot of unhappiness at the moment and a lot of trust in a manager who is merely a kid himself in terms of management experience. I'm willing to give BR a bit more time. "
"Rubbish,side to side we need to pass forwards,BR sort it out, we dont make any chances just pass the ball with no end product its the same every game,he has not got a plan B"
"we are a long long long long way from improvement...dont know what is wrong with players like shelvey, he showed some improvement in preseason and in a few matches but now that he is safe from a loan seems like he is back to his average level..."
"Henderson should stick to tennis ball i think, his back "pass" in the box was priceless. i wonder if he used his eyes before the "pass"...Hope we win against Chelsea, what we dont need is a team loosing confidence..."
"Coates poor. Cole poor. Hendo Poor. No creativity in the final third, except when Suso came in. Joe Cole and Henderson need to see why they are no in the first team."
"once again Cole out hard useless why you don't start assaidi will stay a mystery also i'm fine with morgan still thou pacheco should have started instead of him"
"how far is it from russia to lille also hendo should go on loan downing still un impressive assaid,suso should start but hey 1 mistake and a few glaring misses well done young lads "
"clearly disappointing performance...if you keep the ball in your half and dont attack you are bound to have great possession...the will/quality to take on players is not there...cole/downing/henderson needs to be sold...these are mediocre and will remain mediocre throughout..."
"Had hoped for a draw but I am now fuming. Shelvey should have been left at home - he looked disinterested, lacked commitment, gave away possession and eventually got booked. Is he the future - I now wonder. Coates, is he the future - I wonder. Cole, he's past the future. Henderson, a major disappointment. Where was Downing? One bright spot - Suso. Somebody, please give me some hope."
"Handerson, you are not worth the 16m or watever million that King Kenny invested on you. You are far way from Suso standard. Probably your work rate is not fit with Liverpool.Still the same standard as last season... very very poor!"
"Well another defeat , dont give me , at least we played well , so what , we still lost. A bunch of lads tried their best but the major stat is BR and his lads have lost more games than they have won and that is very un liverpool."
"Rodgers I've lost all hope in you- why aligning Shelvey and Henderson because these two craps are the MOST deceiving players we have actually in the squad, what are their contributions to the team apart from getting big money just to do nothing"
"Where is the parlemo couch wen you nid him...joe cole nids a beat down...90k 4 that...i'd die 4 lfc if i earnd dat much..heck i'd dive in wit ma head 4 every tackle"
"Where have we left motivation?
I haven't noticed the effort that we would like to make anything against losing this match...
This was the worst Liverpool match I have ever seen.
Dishonour, why we wouldnt try to win?"
"Poor show again.
Kids played well.
Should stop using players who are not good enough.
Joe Cole - Cannot keep the ball. Afraid he is gone.
Henderson - Pass back if he can and don't take any chances!
Downing - Slow, cannot beat a man & cannot cross the ball.
Come on Brendon, if we can see it surely you can???? "
"What brendan is telling us is that result is not important.we should look at the positives. Lol. This won't last long.we are real football fans but am afraid that if this continues,especially after the January transfer window, we may loose our patience. Please brendan, save us this embarassment and save your Job.YNWA"
"Hendo, Coates, Downing,Cole: not LFC standard.Carra is a legend but this is a season too far for him. Jones was hoofing it too often. we were just too slow getting the pass away, always taking one too many touches. Coady and Morgan and Pacheco not ready for the big time. It isn't the last window that killed us, its the one the year before when we bought the mid-table dross."
"I wonder how many hours this team would have played tonite to get goal. And I just heartd Brendan in his interview "The boys were brilliant. The senior players were outstanding. Just get real we lost once again. Rembember Shanks "If your second your nothing""
"The Coach is definitely a flop and a bad decision for the Liverpool management. Please get a coach that will reclaim the lost glory of Liverpool. I love liverpool and will continue praying for the club."
" Cole, hang your boots up or go play sunday league. Henderson, ask Cole if you can play for his next team. Shelvey, you have not MADE It yet so stop acting like you are the second coming of Gerrard. Downing, I cannot find words to express my contempt for you."
"I start to believe that Brendan really thinks that he is a philosopher while the journalist, who asked him from where our goal would come, seems that has better football understanding than Brendan. lol "
"If we won't qualify from the group we will lose our patience, bacause wa would be able to win this match easily, if the players would be motivated minimally."
"when are we going to play 4.3.3,like BR tells us we play 4.2.3.1 its crap,Stevie got to be attacking midfield build team around him and suarez,what does he see in shelvey
"
"same old thing but this is the way it,s going to be until FSG JOHN HENRY, start pumping real money into the club like man city did, if we want to play to win the league in over twenty years, they better know your not going to do this by playing kids basement players, brendan needs to backed all the way otherwise it,s a waste of time, and we will remain a mid table team if were lucky."
"Well done Suso, Carra (ish), Flannagan, Coady and Morgan (both too soon maybe)... Can't help feeling that if we had played eleven players instead of just those then we might have got a result"
"I hate being negative,but BR said he had 3 envelopes that had 3 names that would let us down to me he should have had 4 and those 4 have all been mentioned in the comments. Cannot say we played well."
"Why all of you are so ing negative? Are you really supporting Liverpool? The team was full of kids playing against the best team in Russia in Moscow where is real winter now. We are only 6 points from 4th place in PL. So the best players have to save for Chelsea game. I hope every one of you hopeless walk one week with a bag in your head if we finish 4th this season."
"i feel sorry for brendan. to play the way he wants, like Barcelona you need top of the range players and not bargain basement like FSG want to buy. i really hope they give us the money in january to buy, but i will be surprised if we get what we really need."
"Rodgers you know that we are not for the le race but at least do the max to win the European cup just to save the season and our dignity by starting with our best players but not with Shelvey and Henderson."
"As soon as I saw the squad list before the game, I knew we were going to lose! We have really good young players, but we really can't win games with all youngsters and fringe players against a team like Anzhi. We need to mix in more senior players and take the Europa League seriously."
"Fed up with Rodgers now and don't trust him with the transfer money!! Give it to Rafa and watch us rise!
Why are so many players looking disinterested? something not right with the club now! shame I could cry."
"no need to feel downhearted with the result. i have seen worse euro displays in the past with more experianced players in the squad things are looking promising for the future.people are getting to expect too much from the youngsters."
"it,s not being negetive i will stick with brendan untill the end, we are playing great at times, but it,s FSG there acting like a bunch of scrooges, and if we dont buy big we wont be playing in europe next season."
"this room is full of trolls :)) we played youngsters and almost picked point...If we beat Young Boys at home...we are in next stage...why you are so negative??? First team was rested for Sunday and dont expect Rodgers in one transfer window and 30m avalaible to have two decent teams.."
"as i said after reading j.henry letter ,its going to be 2-3 seasons before we will be pushing to get back in c/l ,i feel for s,g, as he will be very lucky to lift league champions trophy ,everyone knows we have needed 1-2 top strikers for last 2 seasons we were short on strikers before torres went , but once a red always a red ,very frustrated with it at mo YNWA "
"My comments are negative because of some performances to-night, from players I had expected more. I agree it was a tough ask to expect anything from the game but some of our play was awful. Leaving our better players at home was understandable but our so-called "senior" players were quite poor on the night. But, I will never abandon ship. YNWA never. "
"lfcrollo: we are probably all so negative because we have won TWO games this season, both against teams that were in the championship last season. King Kenny bought very poorly, with the help of Comolli. We also all know that BR's hands are tied financially due to those very same poor buys. but when you support the best team in the world, you expect more, thats all."
"Chill out - a work in progress. Very young side and we played ok. Big players make twice as many mistakes and nothings ever mentioned.Rose tinted glasses."
"Forget tonight. This competition is a hindrance unless you win it- and we won't! It's utter rubbish. Some lads got experience tonight, some confirmed they ain't good enough. Roll on January- Walcott and Sturridge for me.""
"WE ARE GOING FROM BAD TO WORSE.nO COMMITMENT ESPECIALLY FROM THE SENIOR PLAYERS. lUCKILY ENOUGH WE ARE STILL SECOND IN THE GROUP. BUT RODGERS IS NOT THE MANAGER CAPABLE OF TAKING THE CLUB FORWARD.WE ARE OUT OF THE LEAGUE CUP,NOWHERE NEAR 4TH PLACE IN THE LEAGUE AND FACING THE RISK OF ELINIMATION IN THE EUROPA LEAGUE. BRING ON A PROVEN SUCCESSFUL MANAGER"
"People. Don't you see this was best our second team. Get a grip you moaning old bunch of morons. It takes time, Yes TIME.....
Support our club and if you want to keep complaint then I suggest you leave our club to people who know better and love LFC."
"Average performance, poor result. However, luckily for us Young Boys beat Udinese, so if we beat Young Boys in the next game at home (which we should) then we can go to Udinese already comfortably through to the next round."
"I don't get some of the morons on here. We have an extremely thin squad caused by the most inept of past managerial decisions and poor BR inherits this and some idiots expect a quick fix. Look at the team he had to put out, what the hell did some expect????, cont.."
"Dalglish2012 Rodgers!? kurt (wasnt doing well by the way) and Maxi gone yes but you should go back to last season when they were warming the bench most of the time and the expensive average players were playing most weeks...they decided to leave before dalglish was sacked i think...even bellamy announced he wouldnt stay not sure when "
"Buddha could not be more right. Poor old Brendan inherited Liverpool in this state and the man his doing his best. Nothing happens overnight, not even this season maybe, but as fans we shouldn't be this ignorant. C'mon, wake up guys."
"Same old same old im afraid.We play decent football at times,but without the threat of goals,we wont do anything.
But we have no option to stick with BR,to all the so called fans who are calling for his head,have you not learned anything,we cant keep on changing coaches.TIME is needed.ynwa"
"This tournament is nothing more than a learning curve for us. Does LFC really care about the Europa?Will anyone remember the day we won the Europa League?Im Happy BR is using the opportunity to give the young lads experience.Bigger fish to fry!"
"Europa league is good, only if you win it..especialy for countries with tough leagues.....on the other hand europa league can become nightmare if you end tour in semifinal and you pay price with dropped points in the league for tired legs....two games in Gstage and then 8games to final."
"not suprised said it was an inexperienced team from begining.4get inexperienced players lik henders n downing who played all le games last season were worst. BR screwed up big time on his selection. it will take will take more than a win at stamford(highly doubtful) to make up for the embarassement of watching this game today."
"i think BR's should have said his target this year is remaining in the league n not getting into top four.i recall him saying that earlier this season. n im sure we'r gona get scr**ed over by chelski. br rsting the big playing would have been a waste. "

??brendan inherited this problem ?? , we were stronger squad last season brendan had to cut the squad down thats were the problem as come from our great fsg , thats why it is now going to take 2-3 yrs to get back were we belong "
"Fans are right to be pi&&ed off. BR talks of a great passing game and ethos..his players cant even defend properly..come on Rodgers get your act to together..start from the back and sort out the defense before talking about Barca type ethos which is pie in the fu&king sky if we cant defend. I hate to see LFC losing..its heartbreaking"
"I'm fed up reading stupid comments from supposedly knowledgeable LFC fans.
We had many young players playing tonight & idiots criticise the team.
1 mistake otherwise a creditable point against a top Russian side.
It was a great experience for the young players.
Well done to BR & all those playing tonight, especially the young lads who never let us down.
"
"We're still in a good position to qualify.. Some players needed this game to rest, others to prove something - but didn't.. Rogers needs a bigger and better squad.. Let's get off his back and show some support!! YNWA "
"Honestly everyone is upset that Liverpool lost tonight even tho they played there under 20 team, I really like the way they are playing very entertaining to watch I think Brendan Rodgers is a good coach unfortunately beforehand they wasted so much money on carrol, Henderson , downing, and co so I think he needs time to build a decent team "
"Comments work in both direction. Honestly it will be useless for those players that were living on their past! It even hurt our emotion badly by commenting on them! I rather the fans, the whole of lfc Fully concentrate on the league position. Focus focus focus..... "
"Didn't look like they wanted to win enough.Disappointed with Cole and Henderson in particular.Too much emphasis on possession rather than just winning games.Liverpool fc has too do better. "
"Liverpool will go through the next round because Udinese lost and do not see them beating Anji in Moscow while Liverpool will get three points against young boys at Anfield"
"Daaaaaaaaang everybody is so freakin unsulting to this club!! In order to be prepared for Sunday we NEEDED to play a 'weak' or 'crap' or 'young' or whatever kind of squad all you haters call it.. January will be good for us and at the end of the season this team will be so good you will be embarrassed to make your dum* a** comments. LFC FOR LIFE"
"All you m*rons who say "Leave now Brendan" will be eating your own shtt when this process is at it's peak! Go support the rich/buy quick success club Chelsea or Madrid or PSG if that's your style"
"Presume people are aware this was a young untested team, and those slating Shelvey felt the same after the young boys game? The team on sunday will be completely different-understand? Bad result-Jones stays near the goal, he saves;Hendo has confidence, he scores,we win and people don't off LFC!"
"Maybe it'd be better to introduce less experienced players 2 or 3 at a time into the team, rather than all of them at once. Constantly being defeated can't be that good for their confidence. Maybe better players could get a goal and the younger ones defend it, if we are to be happy with a point. Rodgers knows (hopes) more experienced players can come in and get results for him when needed."
"Last seasons team was much better than the team that Brendan has made. Why must we go backwards to go forwards. Swansea changed their manager and carried on from where they left off. We change our manager and go backwards.Seems Swansea got the best deal, and the best manager."
"What surprises me the most, is that the 18 and 19 year olds aren't the problem... i mean we can consider that they are still young and can have a bright future! But the seniors!!! Cole, Downing, and even Henderson.. a disgrace really.. my patience will run out if we dont spend big in January and buy decent players.. YNWA"
"Well looks like we will not qualify for the next stage, out of the league cup in the bottom half of the premier league only the F.A. cup to come NOT CONFIDENT we will do anything in that either.
The B.R. feeling is losing momentum surely a big question mark if he was relly the best man for the job. ??"
