bring shelvey early on..!!
we want to win,we need to score goals..sahin,shelvey have more hunger for goals and are good shooters...!!
any way..all the best reds..
YNWA
"Good line-up but disappointed to not see Enrique at left back! I'd have put besides Suso in place of Downing as attacking midfielder! Anyway best of luck for the game lads! Do us proud! YNWA"
"Henderson, Downing playing. Warrior needs to change its theme "We come not to win" then... :/
Why did he bought Assaidi and after being 4 months in charge BR suddenly realizes Henderson is better player than Sahin! "
"I feel sick, Henderson and Downing to start!!! Has BR lost it already. Two of the most inept players ever to pull on a red jersey.They will just frighten any prospective buyers away."
"I'm not one to moan but with the games coming thick and fast I hoped for some changed, the players need rotating and I would have liked to have seen shelveyor sahin given a start instead of henderson.I can understand suso's omission as tottenham play with power and pace and maye he is a littlelightweight. Anyhow come on you reds! YNWA"
"Give Downing time and chance...Winger is poor in skills, but LB has potential...he is fast enough to do it.
We need first tough win this season...ynwa!!!"
"I hope we win, but playing Downing after his all at sea display on Sunday is laughable. Rodgers has no idea! Allen is playing poorly but will never be dropped by his mate from Swansea. Why buy Asaidi and never give the lad a decent chance? Why is the aging Carragher on the bench and Coates not? God luck lads, you'll need it!!!"
"I'm concerned as bale and lennon will be up against downing at left back today. Downing was struggling to contain nathan dyer at the weekend,i'd hate to think what bale/lennon will do."
"Keep murmuring to myself like a broken record, leap of faith patience leap of faith patience leap of faith patience leap of faith patience leap of faith patience leap of faith patien..."
"Sahin, Assaidi, Shelvey, Suso, Wisdom. Strong Bench! = looks like we have kept all are skillfull players on the bench? it's not as if spurs are strong and agressive we should be playing around them. Good luck red men..YNWA!"
"Ateeb I guess you either don't watch the games at Anfield or your memory needs jogging. Sterling scored his only goal for the team when he was switched from the left wing to the RIGHT wing. Please stop this embarrassing bleating for BR to change team tactics when the current one works well. Raheem is predominantly a right sided player
"
"and what the hell brendan is doing we never saw assaidi playing in PL who seems to be an electric winger but he prefers the like of joe cole or play a left back as winger instead of a player that he brought and why not suso at right sterling on the left then enrique getting back as a left back im starting to doubt about brendan we only got 2wins oh my god"
"Get some goals scored coz if we end up with dead wood like Bent and Sturridge we won't be seeing any after January. However, good side out tonight with the exception of a second quality striker."
"We need to sto tottenham from taking the ball out on the wings, but as we now play that way ourselves it will be difficult. centrally we are sound but I have a feeling spurs will nick a winner. Any know of any streaming websites for the game please?"
"SHUT UP YOU MUPPETS, DOWNING IS PLAYING AS A LEFT BACK, ENRIQUE IS PLAYING A WING FORWARD POSITION, IS THIS TOO COMPLICATED FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND? SOME OF YOU ARE JUST PATHETIC, THE MANAGER WORKS WITH THEM IN TRAINING AND HE KNOWS YOU NEEDS TO START SO JUST SHUT DA F UP AND WATCH OR BETTER STILL WATCH CHELSEA OR CITY GAME."
"downing at left back again?? why hasnt assaidi been given a chance either! Suso should start look loads better with him playing and enrique is best LEFT BACK in league!! not too happy with team but all the best .... YNWA!!!"
"think henderson is a good player just needs to get some confidence there must be something about him to be england u21 think downing and enrique will swap places"
"i hope hendo scores with his head from a cross from downing.
im not either of their biggest fans but i support my team i say my team because half the people on here dont deserve to be liverpool fans"
"I am not really happy with that starting line up... no Sahin, no Suso, no Wisdom, no Assaidi... But hey, it's up to Brendan, he should know what he's doing. Come on Reds!"
"Enrique did do that pas that led to Suarez amazing goal. I dont mind him pushing up and Downing at LB. Its not uncommon for LFC to play this way to protect the left flank (Lennon). I hope Johnson is up to chase after Bale or Hendo to man-mark him ?!"
"Don't hold out much hope of winning this.No penetration just pass the ball around and hope for the best.WE NEED A PROVEN GOALSCORER,apart from Suarez can't see us scoring.Shelvey should be starting before that headless chicken Henderson at least has scored and knows where the net is.I hope i'm wrong and they perform brilliantly but I doubt it."
"Three defenders on the pitch against one of the best attacking teams at home. What a joke. No Defensive midfielder and downing at left back. An insult to every defender at the club"
"AAAARGH!!! Can somebody please tell me what the hell he sees in Drowning and that other idiot he insists on playing???? PULL YOU HEAD OUT OF YOUR ARSE ROGERS!! AND I HOPE LUIS DOESN'T GET BOOKED OR WE HAVE NO STRIKER!! WE TO SCREW UP OUT CLUB YOU YANKS"
"HAHAHAHA YOU'RE A JOKE ROGERS, HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT TO WIN GAMES WITN CRAP PLAYERS PLAYED OUT OF POSITION, GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT YOU IDIOT!!!!! YOU MAKE ME SO ANGRY!! "
"Haha. Laughable. The only club in the Premier League other than QPR who feel starting championship standard players, Downing, HENDERSON, can actually win them games. A thrashing is on the cards here and Rogers has to take the blame for playing Kennys flops"
"we are a joke club. what credentials did brenan rodgers actually have when he was given the job ? one season in the premier league with a team roberto martinez put together. 2-0 down already. were progressing tho BR said so. 13th in the table !! thats progress"
"LOL AH JOE "15MIL POUND" ALLEN, YOU CAN ALWAYS RELY ON HIM TO LOOSE THE BALL IN DANGEROUS POSITIONS OF THE FIELD... AND NO MATTER WHAT HE'LL ALWAYS BE IN DADDYS STARTING LINEUP"
"this club of ours has become a laughing stock. we are no longer one of the biggest clubs in the world. we are mid to lower table team. no use pretending otherwise. the last 4 seasons tell us that."
"AT Prebkrist... NO ACTUALLY WE DONT NEED SUPPORTERS LIKE YOU WHO WILL SIT BACK AND EXCEPT WHILE WE CRUMBLE. GO SUPPORT SWANSEA OR NORWICH OR ASTON VILLA."
"resquirrel.Unfortunately K K bought these 2 muppets and played them all season I thought B R had seen the light and dropped them but he is playing them now.So it did happen under K K."
"TBH feel sorry for Rodgers. The one season we got a decent amount of money to spend and they let Dalglish waste it all on total and utter rubbish, which was the biggest investment we have ever had. Slippery slope from here."
"this will be 3 wins in 14 games. all you BR fans please explain how he claims we are progressing. he is just trying to convince us and himsef that everything is ok when it is clearly not. Roy hodgson had a better record than this and he was sacked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"We had this so called "rubbish" players last season and we did better than this! two cup finals and a top 8 finish. I can't see us doing that this season!lol. The fault here is BR strategy and philosophy. He has no track record and out of his depth. O yes, he also let our £35M striker go on loan and didnt get a replacement. DOH! "
"Dreadful. Downing and Henderson both involved. Downing laughable for the first and Henderson a joke when he had that chance. We will finish lower this season than last. Sick"
"i have watch the first half and it was like we were all over the place. as much as i respect BR and his tactics i really don't us doing well with his tactics."
"LMAO AT LFCfan128's COMMENT ABOUT SKRTEL NOT HAVING FAITH IN ALLEN SO MUCH THAT HE'D RATHER GET A YELLOW CARD... LOL YOU GOT ME ROLLING ON THE FLOOR WITH LAUGHTER"
"truth be told American owners need to spend we r poor vs totenham FSG should spend on dtrikers defensive mid and a left back we have the 3rd largest attendance why cant you support this funs.. FSG..what a dissapointment "
"Dalglish sacked and Steve Clarke resigned. Notice how well Clarke is doing at WBA! This is because he actually has talent. You let BR manage United or Chelsea etc and they will also struggle. BR is clueless. "Denial" is not just a river in Egypt!"
"South African Scouser Did I say I like the situation? No. My point is that we don't need supporters who only wants to be supporters when we win. I'm sure you understand my point. "
"I WONDER WHO IS GOING TO SUPPORT LFC WHEN THEY GET RELEGATED???!!! ITS LIKE PLAYING WITH 8 PLAYERS...
ALLEN,DOWNING,HENDERSON,JOHNSON even GERRARD ARE A WASTE OF SPACE.
"
"TAKE OFF ALLEN HENDO AND DOWNING CAUSE THERE ALL RUBBISH! BRING ON SHELVEY SUSO N ASSAIDI, MOVE ENRIQUE TO LB AND ASSAIDI LW! WE ONLY GOT JOE ALLEN CAUSE RODGERS WANTED TO HAND SWANSEA 15MILLION, SAID IT ALL ALONG HES AVERAGE AND NOT GOOD ENOUGH"
"BR is clueless. I for one definitely think we are alot worse than last season. What ever money we do have to spend in the transfer window, I would be hesitant about who he brings in. Because so far his signings have all been poor. Allen, Sahin and Borini are not good enough. I am not a fan of henderson but he certainly did not play any worse last season than Allen is this season."
"all you BR lovers keep going on about how he was left with the crap players that KK bought and has to play them but he has made us even worse than last season. the facts speak for themself. whats his excuse ??????????"
"come on guys. We can't loose the faith. we had chances to get back in the game just didn't take them. In Br I trust. The game is not over. not good defending thats all. liverpooolllll!!!!"
"IF RODGERS IS NOT SACKED AND/OR FSG SALE LET ME TELL YOU WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE NEXT TWO SEASONS: SUAREZ WILL BE GONE AND EVEN THE LIKES OF STERLING AND SUSO, AND LFC WILL BE COMPETING TO BE CHAMPION-NOT OF THE LEAGUE BUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP "
"Wondering which player going on record tonight saying "we'll bounce back..."
Me, I will check back with you all come end of season. Perhaps we're just saved from relegation. Or not..."
"Prebkrist. This is not about even winning or losing. Its about having a plan B, and BR dont have one. I have never seen a more out of depth manager in my life! BR was poor at Reading and then took Martinez thunder at Swansea. Is it me thats seeing this? HE BS at the interview, writing a 800 page of rubbish. Clearly the American owners loves BS!"
" I was optimistic when BR came in and started to get rid of KK's flops but I can't defend him now. He's playing the remaining KK flops and the players he brought in himself are terrible. This doesn't look good for him. Shame because he's a nice bloke."
"BR is clearly disheartened by this team..hence him playing 5-yards and Downer. He must of just thought..he actually can't be bothered to win this match. Honestly how Stewart Downing is a professional football..will baffle me til the day I die."
"the first score was a perfect one. First, typical sloppy pass by Johnson, second old SG cant tackle to stop Spur player, third, left back (i hate to say his name) can't run enough... A perfect three British players...... looks good with perfect manager."
"AT malloy1991... AS MUCH AS I AGREE WITH YOU AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE SAME SUBS YOU MENTIONED, IM AFRAID DADDY BRENDON WILL NOT PULL HIS SON ALLEN OFF AND IT ABSOLUTLY DISGUSTS ME"
"does anyone really really believe wer guna get anything out of this game ?? No me neither. how does this sound ? 6 pointer versus Southampton on saturday. Not United or City or Chelsea or Arsenal...... SOUTHAMPTON !!!! relegation match"
"Can someone please mention a very poor display by our captain and reina is not 1. team keaper anymore. Bredan plays henderson becouse he runs so he must play becouse we dont have any other midfielder who accually runs around(jonjo, sahin,cole,suso)."
"Prebkrist. I agree and will never leave a club I have supported for 40 years. BR needs to go. I said it from the off I preferred Martinez over BR. BR dont have that quality to bring the best out of LFC. He's hopeless and getting paid for it. Get rid of him in March/April ! "
"Maxi Kuyt and Bellamy have 15 goals between them (at different levels and countries) since they left LFC. Says it all really. Adam even has 2. We have to get our centre mids up the pitch. Come on BR. Prove your up to it."
"Seen enough of BR now unfortunately and seen enough of the owners as well to realise this club is in trouble.Sacking the manager might not be enough obviously the owners havn't got a clue about staffing a club like Liverpool.I hope FSG sell up soon to owners that understand football! "
"not playing bad! Just too weak in the centre mid as usual. Instead of Allen & SG running away from spurs players & allowing to run 50 yards with the ball unchalleged try doing what srktel did, wipe them out early! Make the challenge high up the pitch & get those centre mid higher up the pitch to hopefully win the ball high up. "
"I've been saying repeatedly that we need to beef up our defence, apart from attack. Again we're badly exposed today. If Skrtel had not allowed Bale to cross we would not have conceded the first goal."
"Players dont become rubbish overnight. Its up to manager to organise them.get the best out of them with a plan that can win matches against different clubs. With pacey players in Spurs, its clear they will attack from the wings, so what does BR do, put Downing as LB with cover from Enrique ! Who will look after Bale? Clearly not Johnson since hes LB and if the ball gets back to him, its all over. "
"Normally a fan of BR but I'm slowly losing patience with him. I thought he only played SD and JH Sunday to rotate the squad for today. Then he plays them both today and keeps Shelvey on the bench. Bad times. I can see Spurs hammering us I'm afraid"
"Completely unacceptable... Rogers needs to get it together or get out. The players we've got need to get inspiration from somewhere, especially if we are being prevented from extensively overhauling our squad in January. YNWA"
"Good to see the plastics are out tonight. Sad really that they actually think they are supporters.. All they can do it diss LFC players and fans. Oxo have just created a new cube based on our online plastics. It's called the laughing stock.."
"I've said it from the minute they announced his appointment,Brendan Rodgers is not the man for the job.
FSG made a hasty and poor decision with regards to the sacking of KD and appointment of BR."
"This is just becoming more and more painful to watch liverpool play these days.. We play downing at left back and enrique left wing. and yet we complain about no goals.... THATS IT!! I DONT SEE ANY HOPE FOR TOP 4 THIS YEAR NEVERLESS TOP 6!! ITS A SHAME TO WATCH LIVERPOOL PLAY THIS BAD!!"
"PATHETIC! BUT IT WAS MOSTLY DOWN TO POOR TEAM CHOICE PUTTING THE WRONG PLAYERS ON THE PITCH E.G HENDO, ALLEN, DOWNING NONE OF THEM ARE LIVERPOOL QUALITY, I BELIEVE HENDO WILL BE GOOD IN A FEW YEARS BUT DOWNING IS RUBBISH, AND ALLEN THE CRAB IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A BIG FISH IN A LITTLE POND"
"L-MAN07 Sacking Dalglish was a brilliant decision he managed to put the club in this perilous position, call him king all you want he seriously ed us."
"That was absolutely farcical. I will back LFC to the hilt and always support the club no matter what but the display by some players out there tonight was an absolute joke. Shankly will be turning in his grave. SORT IT OUT!! Downing and Henderson no where near good enough to get in this team! "
"Poor display why dont suarez when stearling cuts in go to the near post and the attacking midfielder takes his place. Plus we arent making enough runs without the ball and finelly reina should be benched even gerrard when we play top teams sorry but not good enoug"
"theonly reason I can see that BR has started playing Henderson and Downing is to put them back in the shop window to try and drive their value up for January - it can't be tactical"
"One win in 9,not good enough.Liverpool only team in PL not to score in the last 15 minutes.I still trust Rodgers.And i am not stupid,it won,t happen over night.But we need to get going here,we need at least two strikers,not one.YNWA.
"
"PLS PLS can i ask what these players do in training, where is their motivation. Simple things in football, and they find it soo hard to do. The best idea, cut their wages and sell some players!!! "
"BR must start to get serious. Why play Downing on left back when you have a natural left back in the team. And I wonder whether Pepe shouts at his defenders at all. I have my doubts about Pepe now. Gutted. "
"OUR PATIENCE IS RUNNING THIN, ROGERS IS ONE STUPID, CLUELESS AND STUBBORN SON OF BTCH. HE KEEPS FCKIN WITH US, GAMBLING WITH OUR HEARTS, I BLAME FSG FOR THIS, FCK ALL OF THEM, IF THEY WONT SPEND MUCH IN JANUARY, THEY SHOULD SELL THE CLUB TO SOMEONE ELSE. GERRARD NEEDS A PLACE ON THE BENCH, HE IS NOT HELPING US AT ALL."
"its oke if someone call me a plastic fans.. if this your liverpool.. if this what you hope for liverpool.. 3 wins 4 lose n 7 draw.. if its oke for u.. up yo you.. i just hope liverpool can be better.. "
"To many silly mistakes from overpaid players.Everytime i c downing on the team sheet i just find it hard to watch.Stevie was poor again,johnson just makes me laugh the money tat was paid for him.We need to spend to win its just not looking gd at all..."
"same old nonsense! when are we going to have owners and a manager who can do justice to a club with the worldwide reputation of LFC! this lot are a joke, as are most of the players! YNWA!"
"What's wrong with Gerrard why is he happy after the game I guess where happy to be in 13th smile Gerrard cos ill never win the league we need investment not Henderson and downing the loser it's horrible Swansea are ahead of us for gods sake another season gone no improvement whatsoever "
"Money squandered on Allen. Carroll out on loan, so no plan B. Hendo and Downing, poor choice. The style of play just wrong for LFC. Reina picking the ball out of the net too often, poor morale. Frustration all round at LFC, BR has ripped our heart out in a matter of a few months. Any more evidence you need? BR needs to go."
"I SOMETIMES FIND IT HARD TO BLAME ROGERS BECAUSE WE PASS THE BALL ALRIGHT, WE CREATE THE CHANCES TOO, JUST DONT FINISH THEM OFF, SO THIS IS WHERE MONEY IS NEEDED, WE NEED TO BUY REAL ATTACKING PLAYERS, BUT NOT LOANS AND CHEAP PLAYERS THE OWNERS WANT US TO BUY, WE DONT CARE IF THEY BALANCING DA BOOKS OR NOT, IF WE DONT BUY PLAYERS THEN WE SHOULD BE READY TO LOOSE SUAREZ"
"Love these uneducated fans keep getting stevie's back. He is not playing position and until Lucas is back he won't be so stop blaming stevie's it's the role BR has given him while Lucas is out. U fans need to learn a bit about football. Sterling isn't ready yet. Shelves should be playing. Hendo's confidence is rock bottom as is most the teams. We need 2 strikers badly! Oh and BR out!"
"Fsg walk away and before you do sell Henderson downing and Allen take those pears with you iv had enough call me what you like but I call you stupid for accepting 12th place liverpool in 12th we have never been lower so sad to see we all love the club but people show they're frustration it's getting desprate now YNWA "
"Shelvey should have been since the begining. Mostly he creates impact when he is the first 11.
Bringing him in too late, and he won't get adjusted.
Where s Suso, btw. Why 's he not in.
SG, Johnson, and Downing should be wiped out from the board. "
"NO Rogers- I BLAME YOU for this defeat!
YOU CHOSE to Start with LOOSERs Like Downing and Henderson Both cost us Goal and Missed an EMPTY Net and Your BOY Allen is Becoming a Liability! Pressure of Playing for a BIG Club!!!
SAT Get Back to BASICS and NOT wth JH and SD"
"Downing is not a left midfielder, he is not a left back? So why the HELL is this bag of Shiite playing???? BR are you setting yourself up for a fall when you could have put Enrique there with Assaidi in front of him! Sooooo frustrating. BR please drop D owning as everyone knows this guy just don't cut !"
"we need more shots from outside the box, BR encourage your players to have a shot from outside, they are paid professional, i can't see why we will have players who can't shoot, technique...that's why we have training ground, come on boys, don't be shy to have a shot at the post."
"What happened to young Robinson. Wasn't playing at St. Helens so unless he's injured why wasn't he at left back?
Or why not Wisdom and Johnston as full backs. It is not Downings position and never will be."
