"Much better 2nd half. Need to start every match like the 2nd half,rather than playing not to lose,we need to play to win. Far too cautious. In the end, if the ref had done his job, we could have won."
"starting 11 was all the mistake..!
downing didn't mark lennon,and henderson was really bad..!!
we are liverpool football club..this is not what we expect..!! "
"Much better 2nd half. Need to start every match like the 2nd half,rather than playing not to lose,we need to play to win. Far too cautious. In the end, if the ref had done his job, we could have won."
"Dear FSG,
If your solution is a cheap, cut-price striker or a loan deal to solve our reliance on Suarez, please note how poor we are at scoring or that our nd highest scorer is OGs. Also the fair play rules are a good concept, but not if your the only ones following them"
"Deserved a victory to be honest. Great game in the second half. TH hardly saw any ball at all. Just tells us that we badly badly need another striker and a creative midfielder. Played well but ultimately not enough. Paid the price for poor defending."
"Good Effort but the team needs some changes , Assaidi needs to play , should rest Gerrard and Allen , give Sterling a break aswell . A chance to get back on track against Southampton , lets not waste it ."
"PATHETIC LOSING THE GAME WITHIH THE FIRST 15MINS! ALLEN HENDO AND DOWNING SHOULD NOT BE IN THE STARTING LINEUP THERE ALL RUBBISH!!! RODGERS ONLY BOUGHT ALLEN SO HE COULD HAND SWANSEA 15MILLION AND WE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH HIM PLAYING EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY GAME!!!"
"Oh, Another lose? Just a normal day in Liverpool, rubbish team, Lucas won't help, sack Brendan, this passing show is only good for the worst teams, I forgot, we are, I mean he wants us to fail, our failures tied at Swansea, and he puts the SAME squad on..."
"much better second half, but terrible terrible half, not sure why downing was on, if he cant play as a winger which is his position why not just put assaidi on from the start. once again refs are blind to any tackle in the box on suarez!! good at the end, shame on the score though YNWA
"
"we are the same poor quality in midfield need quality fsg need to spend, isco, munuim ince huntalaar cavani wiliam no more average cheap buys this what happens downing poor hendo too cant take much more of this"
"Even today, after trailing 2:0 in 15 minutes, Liverpool played better away but as usual couldn't score and needed an own goal. I wonder if Suarez will ever get a penalty. He was clearly kicked from behind and no whistle. So unfair."
"NO-it was not a 'blatent' penalty at all Mr Jimmy Rice. wake up!
there is nothing more infuriating that BR's style of play when we are trying to get a goal-pass, pass, pass and lose the ball.
spurs were woeful after scoring the second.
we did not take advantage.
bored of liverpool-same old story every game, and has been for years!
rant over! goodnight!"
"buy some ing STRIKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Owners need to make a real big ing statement!!!! what better statement than buying MESSI!!?? for club and player. stuff the stadium upgrades! get messi/or equivalent! YNWA "
"Lets take the positives, our second top goalscorer is now Bale. BR could very well be the worst Liverpool Manager since Souness. He is well out of his depth. It just goes to show the new route Liverpool is heading, Budget Manager followed by budget signings. Lets all enjoy Suarez while we can, because he won't be here for long."
"What to say.... we just need strikers. the pessimists will be out in force but we just need strikers. one bad goal gave away an one lucky deflection. We just need strikers!"
"Spurs the most overrated team once again outpsyched LFC in the belief that a win is out of the question. A long frustrating season for at best a lower table place for LFC. "
"BRENDAN out now i thought he was the right man but with his stupid formation we're a real division 4 team 14games/2wins/16 from 42 possible points brendan out out look at what hendo does he had shelvey,sahin and suso but once again he ed up"
"sorry to say it but Gerrard cost us the game he wasn't playing as he used to play he gave the ball away cheaply and spurs scored from it we need at least 2 strikers and a left back in January cause Enrique should play on the wing from now on he's great there maybe buy a decent right back as well as Johnson was terrible today too"
"That was dire, Gerrard is offering nothing, Sterling looks in dire need of a rest and looses the ball to often and our passing in the final 3rd is horrendous. Get a grip BR. We don't need excuses, we need improvement and we are not getting any. "
"our own decision making cost us, not the referee. we didn't simply didn't use the ball effective enough to hurt them where it counts, and without taking responsability, the song 'it's never your fault' will continue to ring in our ears"
"I hate when we play in our away kit for no other reason than shameless advertising. Wear RED wherever possible! I'll never buy another away kit again!"
"We did deserve a draw today, but still BR is not good enough. The players we are being linked with too are budget players that are probably not any better than what we have. "
"Gallant? More like inept. In the first half we had 6 chances and none of our centre mids were following Suarez into the box. Lucas's return will sort this out sooner rather than later. Not impressed Rodgers. IRWT is an old saying and it still means Rafa at the moment. Must do better."
"Whats the point of h
because half the players we have now do not have the technical ability. We can talk about growing, but unless money is going to be spent, we will be dead in the water for seasons to come."
"Another normal Day for us, all hopes up, Brendan with his failed speech of glory, The same squad that we had on at Swansea? Wow! Brendan just wants us to lose, well he needs to be sacked, and our failed owners, we used to be something, we are dieing, Henderson being the worlds worst goal scorer missing 7 open runs and 3 open goals this season. Lucas and Andre recovered ages ago..."
"We do not have the technical ability to play the type of football Brendan wants to play. Im sorry, we just dont. Big money needs to be spent, or we are dead in the water. The grim reality is, if you want to compete, the money needs to be there"
"Henderson and Downing are useless.. They destroyed our side. Both goals conceded through them. Downing didn't mark Lennon and Henderson gave away that free kick. 40 million waste of money and space."
"I Wasn't concerned with us until now i cant believe im saying this about a club i have supported for 30 years ..but we dont look like winning. WE ARE LIVERPOOL we are 4 points from the drop zone its not good enough im afraid . the club is going through major changes ..seems a shame our once mighty club is in this position ..neverless i will follow and not blame YNWA "
"Nice football, great effort. Dowd is nearly as big a disgrace to football as FSG. With a ref that doesn't always cheat and owners who would buy another striker, we would have won this one. NO, to Bent or Sturridge. No more garbage."
"Should have got atleast 1 point today while other team dropped above us. clearly shows we need more players not youth players to carry the team. Suarez was isolated. January transfer will show what BR and what John Henry have for the future. dont let the club down with fantasies. Get us a striker and few more players that can do more than just pass a ball. Next game 3 points is ours. YNWA!!"
"Gerrard should have shot at goal, not try and win a penalty! It was all liverpool second half, so unlucky not to get a point! Why can't we play like that when its 0-0?????? We might win some games if we play with a bit of urgency! This Dreadful season continues! Lets hope the second half of the season is ALOT better than the first half! YNWA"
"Still have not beat a team above us all season and we are now almost half way through the season. Wigan, Norwich and Reading our only wins, makes for great reading. I commend you BR for improving us with your championship philosophy. "
"I'VE SAID IT FROM THE GET GO EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT SOUTH AFRICAN SCOUSER's VIEW REGARDING BR FROM WHEN HE WAS LINKED WITH THE CLUB TILL TODAY THAT HES NOT THE MAN FOR THE JOB... AND IM GLAD TO SEE MORE AND MORE ARE BEGGING TO SEE THIS"
"Pls get rid of Downing why start him at left back when Enrique can play that position 10 times better than him and have Suso and Assaidi on the bench when they could play left wing instead of Enrique, I think Enrique is better at left back and that Suso is better than him as a winger, get this sorted out BR! why did you change a team that was doing better and better? !!!"
"Created a lot of good chances and in the end lost to a free kick that should never have given. I wonder if the press will give dempsey the same schlacking that they give to our luis ! I doubt it very much !"
"thats what we call progress...unbeaten looool
totally bull..we have not defeated any team which is above us in the table..only norwich and wigan who are below us and BR is saying we are progressing"
"poor start but can be proud of the effort to get something out of the game, we still lack a game changer or two as assaidi has yet to show what he can do. enrique and johnson were great and on another day we would have won that one"
"Well at least they made a fight of it in the second half. I just feel If we'd started with Shelvey/Sahin things could of been different. Henderson try's hard enough but he doesn't make a difference. One step forward two steps back. Oh well I'll keep the faith. Bring on Southampton YNWA"
"one game forward four games back. Lets all hope we get a draw against Southampton this weekend, since fans expectations have dropped so drastically. "
"Yet again we were robbed with a three points. We had two good penalty in this game that we should have even won easily, if we've had some good striker up front there with al the goals we missed again. This is really painful to be seen us losing games that we should've been definitely wining. Another sad night!!! #YNWA"
"what's the manager gonna say this time ? it's not two points dropped. it's three ! but credits to the players at least they tried it very hard and compared to last season, i think it's definitely a marked progress to the manager!! "
"Gutted lads. We need to have more courage in the final third though. Clear chances especially Jose. Also 2 defensive in the center of the park. Effectively 3 holding midfielders. We're so close to the right formulae. Come on you red men"
"BR this loss is no doubt at your door. Your selection was bad to be polite. You seem to be fast running out of ideas. Please do something before the core of LFC real supporters lose faith in you. Up the Reds!"
"cannot believe we have lost again to another mediocre side. playing a "midfielder" at left back is never going to help and could someone please support an arguement for joe allen (what a waste of a shirt). the buck must stop with the manager. this guy is clearly way out of his depth"
"This is the referees i the EPL I really don't like seen officiating any of our games. This guys is absolutely again LFC and Luis Suarez, the guys was kick upside down in front of this , but have nothing to said about the matter. #YNWA"
"I really want FSG to read this:
We just 1 addition in the team to support Suarez and go into 6 yard box n convert chances.
You both have admitted that you are liverpool fans and I imagine you both would also be frustrated as me with our finishing.
So plz let BR sign someone!
:("
"Sterling not ready. Stevie's out of position( playing deep) which won't change til Lucas is bk. hendo's confidence is rock bottom as most the teams are. Allen looking more average with every game. We have actually gone backwards from last year any1 who denies this is lying to themselves. No progress in BR so called style wot so ever. Yer we could have won yer we could have drawn but we didn't"
"I really want FSG to read this:

:("
"ITS BR MENTALLITY THATS THE PROBLEM... HE COMES FROM SMALL TEAMS, HAS A SMALL MANAGER C.V SO HAS A SMALL MENTALLITY... AND THAT WONT CHANGE YOU CAN OPEN THE TRANSFER WINDOW FOR HIM ALL YEAR FOR HIM THROW MILLIONS AT HIM AND HE'LL STILL BRING IN THE BORINI's AND ALLENS, COZ HES A SMALL MINDED MANAGER"
"Really a pity! What a sad night! Really unlucky for some bad ref decisions, but we have to complain with ourselves as we played an awful first half an hour, then we started to control the game and created many chances! But we lost the game with that horrible start! Let's complain ourselves! Some tactical decisions by BR were for me arguable. Keep up the good work lads! YNWA"
"...need to start matches stronger, but shows again no end product, misplaced passes, sterling outplayed but no depth to replace him...leave henderson out please!!!! although rogers doesn't read this but ok same things will be said a lot week in week out and our record at the lane not so good..I suppose soon another article that we can do it...but quality is lacking deeply"
"The system once again fails us. Change the formation BR. It's not working home or away. We have games coming up that would normally be in the bracket of games that are winnable. I certainly do not see it that way, I see it has a run of games where we could add to our tally of draws for the season. "
"A draw would have papered over the cracks. I thought we'd lose 3-1, so I'm not too disappointed. Only minus 1 goal difference and no points! Yippee! That is a result for us these days.."
"How can we progress if these Sellout FA committee and referees don't want us to get where we want to be at. All the efforts and hard work the team HAS been doing are just going in vain most of the ing times. But the truth will come out to light one day, since the man up there is not sleeping. #YNWA"
"WARNING! Lucas Barrios want to leave China, so he is available! Try to loan Sinclar from City, Bent from Villa and Zarate from Lazio. We need not only a few striker but more than three CREATIVE, FAST, AND STRONG CM (for example Benat) We have to seek in the brazil ligue beacuse it ended last week. "
"it was a brave attempt, i feel sorry for BR because he hasnt got much too work with, a chronic lack of quality in the sqaud going to take time to build the team up, no quick fix.."
"Its just pathetic to watch Downing,Henderson play. Assaidi showed he isnt ready yet for PL. Glen had a nightmare. Suso deserved to be on the pitch more than Shelvey. Even if the money availbale I'm not too sure if we can trust BR with that. He just make too many mistakes."
"Why can't we get penalty's surely that was a push on Stevie and br needs to start playing players in the right positions we looked better when shelvey came on"
"god damn, this is us against the world!!! we played pretty bad, but we weren't helped!! it could have been an other result if luck/referee was sometimes by our side!"
"..again on show, no quality in depth to replace sterling, henderson ehm enough said...no end product, passing...need to start matches better than this..but did better but the final 3rd ...corner kicks not good enough to be dangerous but same old stories, let january come and will see"
"We lack of: pace, mentality, class player, manager team talk and bit of luck. I was hope we can come from behind after we have good pace in last 20 min at 1st half, then what happened at 2nd half it's so frustrating."
"Where we ever realistically going to beat Spurs with Hendo and Downer playing?? BR, like Buddha..I'll not be you defending you on this occassion. But still trust in you. Just don't play them against the saints."
"So basically if Luis doesn't score we're done. And my 12 year old knows more than Downing at fullback-at least he looks for the runner. Still believe in BR and realise it will be a project, but it would've been nice to win."
"Dont know why but i just knew we weren't ever gonna win this game tonight!? I thought we at least deserved a point though but its not good being a liverpool at the moment! No confidence in this team whatsoever, if we don't start winning games soon , we are in serious trouble :("
"WATCH THESE BR FANS CLAIM SOME SORT OF PROGRESS WHEN WE EASLY BEAT SOUTHAMPTON ON SATERDAY... THATS WHAT THEY DO THEY CLUTCH AT STRAWS AND CELEBRATE BEATING NEWLY PROMOTED TEAMS AND RELEGATION CANDIDATES... LOL BUNCH OF JOKERS"
"We are going backwards under this manager, he seems to have no idea, why play Henderson & Downing when they were both useless at Swansea. This time last year we were 6th with 23 points and even under Hodgson we were higher in the table. whatever next! Will we be beaten at home by Southampton?"
"I often used to wonder what it would be like to support a team that hardly ever won, well, now I know !! Id rather pull my nails out with pliers than watch this lot. Top four , better results, what a joke. Brendan we are stuck with you FSG say so but that doesnt mean I have to like you and I dont !!!"
"Should have been atleast 1-1. Bale's free kick was marvellous but Dempsey clearly dived to get that free kick.
In the final third it looked much better than prevously but still the one final classy pass is missing.
Henderson should've scored, no penalty when Gerrard was pushed behind(?) and Suarez was denied on goal line...again if and if."
"Rafa in, you say? Give me a break! There is one person in Chelsea who wants him there and that is our russian friend with the rubles. 0-0 at Stanford vs Fulham with a much better squad than ours is not impressive."
"Yet another poor show from an awful midfield. Joe Allen just seems to get worse every game. Henderson I think is trying too hard and Gerrard doesn't look happy at all. With no plan B we are predictable and toothless."
"People blaming BR for the mess we are in need to get real 1 player he has bought played today! Assaidi came on off the bench so 2. He is doing what he can with the crap we have period! This is going to take time and yes it's frustrating but the manager isn't the problem it's the squad! YNWA"
"Gallant? your having a laugh, more like fast asleep for the first 15 minutes, lets give them 2 goal head start! Downing and Henderson should never be seen in a Liverpool shirt again. And why weren't we in red? im pretty sure it doesnt clash with white!"
"I can't understand why play Downing at left back and Enrique at left wing. They both crucially run out of ideas at key moments either when faced with a goal scoring opportunity or when defending. Gerrard needs to play upfront. Even in extra time in second half, he was still next to Reina than the other way. It is really boring to be identified with losing so regularly!!"
"The posts on here make me laugh. I don't think we have won at Spurs for 5 years now and lost 4-0 there last year. The lads showed a lot of commitment and were unlucky not to get anything out of the game."
"Poor all round. Yes Downers fault for the 1st but BRs for playing him there. Hendos challenge had little in it but him n suarez should have held their ground. Everyone else was poor and invisible at times. Give credit where its due. Luis was pretty honest today but if he had been more honest in the past we may have got the penalty."
"i love liverpool but hate supporting them at the moment, had a 6 fold bet, all the other 5 bets came up, had l'pool for a draw, was no way we would beat tottenham but we cant even get a draw to win me some christmas money...poo!"
"if you think we need only strikers you are dreaming...whos gonna change the game when midfield is not working...joe cole?? The top teams in the EPL arent good at the moment, it wont stay the same foreever..."
"16 pts out of 39pts is scary stuff and we are four points above relegation zone. Honeymoon over for BR, we need to starting winning the odd game now and quickly. I keep saying it, letting AC go was madness. We had 29 crosses tonite and got onto 4 of them. Someone teach Downing the basics of defending please.."
"Woke up 3am to watch them play and this is what i get. why play downing and henderson and 1st half allen sucked. least he was able to make it up 2nd half. FSG WE NEED A STRIKER(s)!!!! NOT THE CHEAP ONES! YNWA."
"Forever red lfc - yes the team played well in the 2nd half but you have to admit that 16pts out of 39pts is not acceptable to Rodgers. He harps on about a thin squad. The truth is he has a top 6 squad and it was his crazy decision to get rid of AC and co BEFORE he had a guaranteed replacement(s). I just hope it doesnt get any worse as we are 4 pts above relegation zone now"
"S A scouser I feel your pain , we all do but we have to look at the bigger picture I suppose, at least we did battle, seasons past we have not even done that.
It's hard to swallow but give him the season at least!"
"I am usually one of the more positive posters on here but tonight left me really angry. I, like most other LFC fans, have given Henderson a chance to be successful at LFC but he is getting worse. He gave away possession, misplaced passes and gave away a free kick then deflected it into his own net. I hope Rodgers gives him a stern talking to and lets him go in the next window. Utter garbage."
"I agree with many that we need to spend some money in Jan,but this is painful as ell as ridiculous to see that few of the so called sincere are talking filthy about Gerrard and it looks that chants of YWNA is just a slogan not a reality.be careful."
"Sick of hearing LFC deserved at least a point. It's the same old story, only Suarez looks capable of getting close to a goal. Rodgers has been too conservative the last 2 matches. Henderson should never play ahead of Shelvey. Leave Enrique at left back and play Suso and don't be affraid to take Gerrard off."
"WH Lane has never been kind to us and after 16 mins I thought last year all over again. But credit for hanging in there. Need to somehow find results in December and hope that January will fill some missing links. Patience needed because there is no magic wand. YNWA"
"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"
"Loved the reds all my life, but now i do not have that buzz and expectation when we're on the attack. Cannot tell the difference from this team from Dalglish's. Only glad we didn't buy that diving b....... Dempsey. "
"I see we are all expecting miracles again. The team is new and needs additions we all know that. It's going to be tough but the squad needed sorting out and that's what is happening. Tough year ahead but it will be worth it. YNWA"
"For top to bottom LFC is being run by rookies. I feel sorry for BR- he needs proper experienced football people for support and advice. As August showed- he's on his own.... SHAME ON FSG."
"So much for patience ! When will all you haters be happy ? When we have tried 10 managers in 4 seasons ? When the next manager isn't top of the league after 14 games, you will be calling for him to be sacked ! It's not good enough, support your team and stop whining ! YNWA "
"For a first time as i remember we totaly outplayed Spurs..i can't blame Rodgers tactic when the players can't perform but he must take action and drop some players..Allen is not performing a couple of matches in row, Hendo what can i say missing open goals?Sterling,too much pressure on him to perform.Suso was excelent but somehow lost his place!Anyway easy matches are coming"
"Liverpool have no teeth. As long as rogers insists on playing Downing and Enrique where he is and not giving Sterling the help he requires and allowing Allen to give away cheap free kicks he will be sacked if the Yanks have any idea what is happening to their investment! In what should be a top four team not ten points off! "
"Also , its Mr kenny dalgish who ruined the club by spending money on useless players , many are sold or loaned , and others are desired to be kicked out by Fnas....as compare to newcastle manager spent the money wisely and they did much better than us.shame he was."
"Liverpool have no teeth. As long as Rogers insists on playing Downing and Enrique where he is and not giving Sterling the help he requires and allowing Allen to give away cheap free kicks he will be sacked if the Yanks have any idea what is happening to their investment! In what should be a top four team not ten points off! "
"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!!!

In what should be a top four team not ten points off! "
"Lets be honest. With the players Liverpool had in the summer when BR took over we should be in the top 6 right now. Complaining that the squad is paper thin is bulls*it and if it is then BR has only himself to blame. Time to quit the charm talking and get down to getting results. 16 pts out of 39pts is not acceptable for this squad. Shanks would not accept this, no way"
"Rogers is doing great we are only 17 points off Man Utd! How can I convince my son he should have a new Liverpool shirt for Christmas? he laughs.... Dad they are not worth it..... he says... Me I am heart broken! "
"For Suarez to do what he's done all alone up front is amazing. Joe Allen, when you make a pass....move to get the ball again. I can't believe Gerrard can't go up front without anyone messing up behind or doing a half decent job. Gerrard can score so until Jan comes, get Allen and whoever to protect that defence. Pace and a good sliding tackle. Allen does not have either."
"Majority talk rubbish here. Premier league is very close competition. We dominate in most of the game this season. Difference between us and top4 is 9pts...this mean 2-3 poor referee decision, 1-2 errors or missed chances. Rodgers is great hope for this club. One year ago we were completely ed at Spurs and now we were better team and deserved at least a point."
"BR said we were 'Fantastic', 'Brilliant' and 'Outstanding' listen to the interview, I'm not kidding.
Referees seem determined not to favour Liverpool with crucial decisions, seem to have an anti Liverpool mindset. "
"We have to get rid of Downing and Henderson. They were rubbish (not just today). Allen is not proved so far, he gives away so many balls and free kicks.
Our main goal this season to avoid relegation; that is realistic forget the rest.
"
"Come on people, be rational. We're missing a true playmaker, a striker and that's it. Enrique should play forward, and not be put back he's lively. Suso should be playing, Gerrard out in his current form, and Allen needs to be braver like when he first joined with forward passes."
"That defeat is really hard to take. Liverpool deserved a lot more. However, and even though I sound like a broken record at this stage, I've seen enough to know Liverpool will go a long way under Rodgers. In Brendan we trust - YNWA - JFT96!"
"In all honesty I relly believe we nned at least 6 new high quality signings, real skilful inteligent football players with vision and above all 'End Product'. Overall our quality at present is the worst at LFC for a very long time, it's soul destroying. Long term plans are for 4th Division clubs. Honestly believe we are approaching crisis point and FSG need to wake up, this isn't good enough. "
"Time for allen to sit on the bench hendo & downing pak ye bags coz yur useless rodgers stop talking drivell its the same old story bla bla bla 12th in the league 26 points dropped fsg get over here & get it sorted 2 strikers in jan & 2 playmakers the younsters cant do everything"
"in last three years we were completely f.u.c.k.e.d at Spurs. We overplayed them.... we really improved. Last season after 20 minutes we were down 2-0 and could come back...lost 4-0...today we showed character, more maturity and quality..respect for players and managers YNWA."
"why does everybody keep blaming henderson and downing did they all watch a different game if u want to blame someone blame gerrard and johnson they were terrible henderson and downing were much better then the other 2"
"YNWA" good effort, however why play Henderson? With Shelvy in the team, the dymanics is visibly better, Henderson 90% of the time plays the ball backwards, i'm confused. "
"We need to wake up quickly as we're heading for the championship!!! BR sadly not and never was good enough for our beloved Liverpool FC.
How long before Suarez, Skrtel etc all move on???"
"This one is on Brendan's account. Downing and Henderson, really? Each gave a goal away and did nothing else. We have serious problems to score even if we create. Gerard bellow his reputation, Allen not in form, Sterling too quiet. All others were good except in scoring. Brendan disappointed me today. YNWA "
"During a season every team has games where they should have got a result. We are no different, and this happens all to often, it has nothing to do with luck. It is all down to how you set your team out to play. BR is tactically inept."
"Sorry br but you must take the blame for this Henderson and downing let us down why start with them feel sorry for sg what a way for the curtain to fall on a true lfc great being part of this sham better players on bench looks like you got a lot to learn would have more respect for you if you put your hands up and still think ac would have been an asset we are turning in to ajoke"
"Best we have played at Spurs for years, very unlucky not to get at least a point. Billy relegation? The squad was crying out for an overhaul and that's what's happening. BR will continue to change things. You will be singing his praises this time next year. "
"I like Jonjo but feel he is a liabilty when trying to defend. Too many reckless tackles. We need to play him up front if we are to play him. Downing I give up on. Gerrard isn't doing much at present... Hugo got voted off I'm a celeb though :)"
" So many managers that have come up from the Championship and have had a great one season. You don't see them managing your Manure, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs even your Fulham's and Sunderlands do you? If the board don't show ambition in these next two windows, in regards to players and maybe even a proven manager, we may end up a championship team in 2 years."
"Oh come on guys. Watched match of the day and it wasn't a free kick. But it gives some fuel to the fire to blame things on Hendo. Jonjo did give away a free kick in a dangerous position later in the game yet nothing gets menetioned. Downing I agree- What the heck! Hendo is just a scapegoat for people's frustration"
"hard luck we were better n so many chances and Suarez had clear pen shout.. but Downing as left back aganist good sides is very bad idea. and Reina is poor ... i dont care 1 year and half now he keep making small mistakes "
"FSG, please better you keep redsock and sell our beloved,mighty LIVERPOOL to someone who know about the beautiful game liverpool used to play.Every fan know what is missing in our team onlyFSG dont"
"lpdcollier- I said when BR was appointed that it is a big risk. John Greggory, Phil Brown, Alan Pardew (although he has resurrected his career) and a few more have had one great season and gone onto oblivion. It was a mighty risk getting a manager who has 1 good season and about 3 poor seasons previously and putting him in charge at such a big club"
"How many points will we pick up in the next 4 games 3 of them are at home....any bets?....I bet it's not 12 points more like 4 points, we need wins, maybe if we ask her Christmas nicely enough you never know. LFC 4EVER"
"We lost this match for one simple reason...Rodgers selection!!! Knew we'd lose as soon as I saw team list!!! I've been concerned about Gerrard for weeks now; somethings wrong. Last time I felt this way was about Torres & then he left!!! YNWA"
"these fans who asking for BR sack should feel a shame for there selfs and get real ..we not as good as we were 2008/09 our top players left the ones we kept got older or dropped form ..so we doing it the hard way KD wisted 100m ..Rodgers made us play the best footy with only 20m ..i say wait 4 him few years or give him 50m to have ago at him !! YNWA BR and get better "
"THEY FCKED UP, STOP MAKING UP ALL THESE STORIES. WE WERE CRAP OUT THERE, BACK PASSING WITH STUPID ALLEN AND GERRARD IS NOT FOOTBALL BUT COMEDY, THIS IS A DEM JOKE."
"Allen is a waste of 15 million.....I would rather have Adam,Maxi,Spearing,henderson,Shelvey and Suso in that position. We need to pay top money for a top striker. Gerrard nneds a rest as he does not look fit....His running style has changed. he must be carrying an injury"
"Hysteria yet again over a game we really should have won, it's not as if we were awful tonight and once again hendo is a scapegoat for the masses. I feel sorry for the kid, no matter what he does he's an easy target for many. Dempsey dived for the free-kick yet hendo gets stick on here for giving it away. People seem to want him to fail just to be proved right which is a disgrace. "
"We just never got out of the starting blocks. There seems to be a worrying trend of conceding goals during key periods. The players should be going onto the pitch firing. It was like they'd just got off the coach."
"Definitely the better team, definitely going in the right direction, definitely should spend as much as we possibly can on a really, really good striker. "
"Just need a good striker in January and we will be fine. The team is improving game after game. Hopefully Lucas will be back and players like Downing, Cole and Henderson brought by KK will be out. "
"Come guys, give BR a break. He really doesn't have much to work with, both in depth of players and quality. The boys did fight back in the 2nd half, but the game was already lost in the 1st. Not too sure why we've been starting with hendo & downing."
"But the the really problem is the lack of attacking midfielders and a striker. Blind freddy could see this. Just hope those greedy yanks see it too not and realise they have to invest back in the club!!!! simple as that!
Otherwise I personally won't be spending anymore of my hard earns.
KEEP GOING BOYS!
Y.N.W.A."
"Are you kidding me? Gallant reds?
The thing that matters finally are points. What say Carragher - time to make another comment that top4 is realistic?"
"u see what i mean.... the moment these idiots started to talk abt top 4 and winning les, they lose.... to them, only one thing to say. "Shut up and just take one game at a time""
"Seems like ref's are all against us lately!!! The FA needs to sort this out. Either train those clueless refs or stop them from refereeing.
Shame on the game with such refs."
"Oh please why on earth is Downing getting a start...its time to bench Allen and gerrard....gerrard gave away so many balls at crucial moments. Allen getting a fouls at all the wrong places for liverpool, the tiny midget cant do nothing but pass the ball sidewards and back. BR get your starting 11 proper and then we will get the results. "
"This is really frustrating. I do not understand why BR still carries on with Hend and Down. This past weekend, this starting line up did not produce results and this time we actually lost. The line up before this past weekend was much better and it was only a matter of time until we see good results but he had to change it. What did Hend & Down do to deserve a starting call up?"
"Hendo and Downing are getting played so they can be sold January. Impossible to sell players rotting in the reserves. That's the reason they're getting game time"
"IM SO FED UP WATCHING THIS CRAP! I WONDER WHO IS GOING TO SUPPORT LFC WHEN WE GET RELEGATED??? I BLAME RODGERS AND FSG! AND STARTING TODAY, PLAY ALL THE YOUNGSTERS LIKE WISDOM, COADY, PACHECO, STERLING,SUSO... THOSE PLAYERS WONT LET US DOWN UNLIKE ALLEN,DOWNING,HENDERSON etc."
"I stopped reading after Brendan Rodgers was left ruing a penalty. The only thing he should be ruing this morning is the ridiculous decision to start with this lineup. Everyone knows Bale is their most dangerous player and everyone knows their full backs are their weakness. Everyone except Rodgers apparently."
"I sm afraid of losing all promising talents in the team to others end of the season. This has to stop...that means we stop ruing the missed penalties, poor decisions of the refs, missed chances need to play consistantly and produce results to catch up with teams above us. YNWA "
"What profit is it if we keep players fresh for league matches only to lose eventually. BR, you don't have markers in your midfield, you only have passers. That actually cost us the to be match. Teach your players how to mark so as not to be conceding free kicks at vital areas. "

"Pretty football doesn't win matches. Effective football does.
This 'long-term' project could have been done by Kenny. Even Rafa would have done a better job."
"IF he's going to play Downing he needs to play him in his position on the wing, or at least as an attacking mid fielder, HE IS NOT A FULL BACK, he hasn't got the experience for that position which cost us last night. Don't blame players stuffing up when they're not playing in their best position."
"Even Stevie G doesn't perform as well when played out of position, but has the capacity to adapt more than some other players, being a box to box player. What next from Brendan? Luis in Goal and Pepe as striker? He's tinkering because he doesn't know what's wrong or how to fix it."
"I feel 2nd half display was much better and we didn't deserve to loose atleast...About the brendan's tiki taka, its like fitting jet's engine in a old plane. we just not have the technical ability at the moment."

"hey scoring now needed some wins needed. i wonder why some players continue to be selected when better ones are on the bench whats the reason brendon"
"once again we played with 10 men away from home. Seriously, what is the point of playing Downing? He is useless. Allen was once again awful. He loses the ball too much under pressure and gives away silly fouls in defence cause he's a midget. He needs to be dropped. Hendo was not that bad, at least he plays good in defence and..."
"... that was never a foul for the second goal. The ref was once again bad, but this should not be an excuse. Gerrard needs to get a rest and figure out whether he will start playing or retire. He was awful again. Good effort in the second half and surely the Spurs were very, very lucky. Go on and start winning! YNWA"
