"he's like a lot of British managers who have had to earn the right to come into the Barclays Premier League through a promotion" Do i detect a bit of xenophobia there? Every manager british or foreign earns their right. Very few drop from heaven straight into the job - sound familiar Brendan?
"" Stevie was outstanding last night " ? what game were you watching .... I thought he look slow , gave the ball away and just wasnt his old dominant self . He used to rule the midfield . Give him a rest and let Suarez wear the armband a few games ,at least he is giving 110%
"
"Br your talking so much rubbish find the solutions lol yeah here is a idea buy a proper striker hell sell borrni and downing and shoot Henderson I'm better then Henderson also Steve fix up please no more exuses nothing to do with refs and luck it's down to you abd the players take responsibility gods sake "
"All Liverpool rival players let themselves foul the Liverpool strikes in the box knowing the ref won't whistle for a penalty kick, which make their defensive work easy."
"TO POC90 YOUR LIKE A LOT OF OTHERS ON THIS SITE A KNOB HEAD STEVIE G IS STILL A TOP PLAYER AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHOULD GO AND SUPPORT SOMEONE ELSE. B.R. will still be hear in 3 years SUPORT THE TEAM DONT IT."
"This isn't a tough game at all, this is a game Liverpool should be winning 3 or 4 nill, Southampton are poor at defending, this is 1 of the easiest games of the season. I don't want to put pressure on the team but if we don't win this game we are officially a poor mid table club, in the bottom half of the table! Start like u started the second half v spurs for 90 mins and its 3 points! YNWA"
"agree with BR about Stevie who can be of support more for Luis and find the target with more consistency, not agree on the evaluation of the performance of yesterday, we controlled the game after the 2 Spurs goals, were a bit dangerous upfront but never given the impression to play good flowing football, the eleven has to be reviewed for me. "
"Shoops 77, what match review I hate them because its repeat repeat same boring things every day, we lost we lost, review won't bring 3 points lost or 2 dropped if its a draw no matter how much possession. "

"steves problem is he is having to play deeper most of the time to cover a lacklustre def mid ,thats were we need another lucas type player for cover ,"
"most fans here are blaming steve our captain...guys lets see the players he is playing with...allen and handerson..compare that with alonso and mescherano..him alone (gerrard) can't perfom magic..he needs class players to play with..not handerson/allen always passing sideways"
"Players showed only be played out of position in a emergency if any manager plays a player whom is giving such poor return as Downing is out of position ,should take the blame for poor results."
"We have jack Robinson who should play left back a head of Downing , how demotivating is that for rest of team he cost us 1st goal against spurs, who tells a England international how to defend? "
"Getting kind of tedious of these Rodgers reviews. Just wish he'd find his best 11 and stop trying to reinvent the wheel and just play the game the simple way its meant to be. A good striker will help tremendously but were still lacking another piece of quality too. I'm still behind the team and hoping it changes soon. YNWA. "
"Agree with the opening post too. If the result goes against us a brick wall goes up on the site. If we win its all plastered on the front.
Play the players in there preferred positions and quit making excuses! "
"FELLOW FANS IF WE ALL LOVE OUR CLUB AS WE CLAIM WE DO, I THINK WE ALL CAN HELP IMPROVE THE SQUAD THIS JANUARY, WE ARE OVER 20 MILLION WORLDWIDE, SO IF EVERY FAN SHOULD SEND ATLEAST 5 - 10 DOLLARS TO THE CLUB TOGETHER WITH FUNDS AVAILABLE TO RODGERS IN JANUARY, DONT YOU THINK WE COULD GET A CAVANI, FALCAO OR A LIWANDAWSKI?"
"The club have got one of the best attacking midfielders in the whole of UK in Steven Gerrard. Why isn't he playing further forward in support of Suarez? After all, we need goals. Hopefully, the return of Lucas will make this possible."
"We have had enough,we can do nothing until get rid of henderson and downing and borini,we need a midfielder like inesta or xavi who could deliver lethal passes to our strikers,johnson is very bad and too slow ,with this squad we can't even win the championschip"
"For decades I can say this is the worst LFC in terms of team selections, formation and tactics. UNLESS, the fans don't know CERTAIN THINGS and that we would never know as well, otherwise I DOUBT whether Brendan is the MAN to lead LFC back to success? If it goes like this, many fans will have a DISGUST for football. It's a pity to see the once GREAT LFC turned into a toothless bulldog. "
"There's absolutely NO EXCUSE about squad qualities when teams like West Brom, Everton and other weaker squad teams are doing better. So there are TWO possibilities and ONE of them is that Brendan is not up to LFC standard. It's common to say that a great team needs a great manager! ..."
"The SECOND possibility is WHAT I see in such matches like Udinese, Anzi, Wigan, Swansea a others .... Shocking! For instance, last Sunday it was like watching a gala match where it was just about playing football than getting a result. I am afraid that there is more upset to come as I said months ago. "
"Been in the bottom half of the table all season!!! I will be happy if we get top 10 football this season... I like Rodgers but he CAN'T be a good manager until the board back him with funds which they have said they aren't doing!! So buckle your seat belts many more seasons like this to come :) happy days!!"
"It's a tough game, the fortress is a tough place to go and get a point. We'll need a defensive mindset for the first 80 min. Then we'll unleash our attack to play catch-up and get a brilliantly played draw, of which we deserved 6 points."
"Were people happier last season with 4-0? Sounds like some were!
Shoops77- Do you think what you say about FSG is correct?
Being where we are in the league is bad, listening to some LFC fans is worse!"
"Over last 8 months steven has been the england teams best player where hes gone back to more of a holding midfielder breaking up attacks and starting them joes having job play there so i say put steven there. "
"This year Stevie is not scoring because of Brenda's "balanced" 4-3-3, which is the same reason why there is no one but Suarez in the box. Brenda deems a balance between attack and defense is very important, and his shrewd balance lead us to score less and concede more than ever. lol"
"What a bunch of s you lot are. All your concerned about is slanting BR and one of the clubs nest ever players. I don't usually look at the posts cos you are a bunch of muppets who think success and money grow on trees. To Paras3, well said mate. These so called fans are a cancer yo the club f off elsewhere."
"Suarez n Gerrard just playing off Suarez , Lucas holding, shelvey , allen n Sterling supplying the pass,s. I predict goal's galore !! Our defence with enrique back in his right posistion will be solid !
Bring in another striker like shane long and an experienced left side attacking midfielder. And get rid of the rubbish big earners who do nothing."
"Gerrard is looking fed up due to lack of fire power n people not doing right things n that was evident in 2nd half of spurs game. Allen aint been playing to his best n i think shelvey should b starting as we are not getting best from him on bench or not in team. on brendan take a chance with Shelvey !!!!"
"I noticed that we were playing in the black kit v Spurs. WHY? No kit clash, Spurs play in white!!! We should have been in RED. Perhaps I'm supersious, but we are the REDS not the BLACKS! Wear the Red kit whenever possible, we may just win more games. And why do we need THREE kits apart from more tat to sell in the club shops? Supporter since 1953, YNWA "
" GHANDI - Johnson is one of our better performers this season... and I think Borini should be given a chance, he's been out injured and not had time to gel with the squad/team. FSG need to wake up and give BR some funds to strengthen the squad. "
"STEVIE IN FORM OR OUT OF FORM IS LIVERPOOL LFC,AND WE KNOW HE CAN ONLY DO AS MUCH AS HIS TIRED BODY ALLOWS HIM TO.WHAT WE NEED ARE GOOD MIDFIELDERS,A TOP STRIKER WITH SUAREZ AND A STRONG DEFENDER. SELL OFF THE 3 BRITISH MISFITS."
"Since you are talking about support from other players, I liked the way Reina supported the team by walking away from the ball entered into net on bale's freekick. He didn't even attempt to stop. what happened, did he drop something or may be his butt is too heavy to move faster than that."
"All I can say-Stevie G. is a legend,FACT.BR made mistakes-put Stevie G. alongside Suarez,take Sterling in FM position cause of ball transition.And transformation.That's main BR's faul.Try-Reina-Johnson Agger Skrtel Wisdom-Lucas Allen Shelvey(Suso) Sterling-S.G. Suarez.YNWA>"
"FSG has failed the Captain and the team ...luk at steve clarke.. there is sumthing wrong with the setup why get rid of kyut am very sure he wud have scored more pstnering Suarez.. We want a proven striker winger and a left back"
"LOL, these articals are just boring me now!!! Gerrard is not what he used to be, but he is still class. after his injury he hasnt been da same. doesnt have dat speed anymore.let stevie and and lucas team up in the mid, coz from what i have seen, stevie can still give a mean long ball."
" we have allen, (wu played brilliantly wen he was used as an attacking midfield player for swansea,as he scored goals) sahin, shelvey,henderson(who is improving) and SUSO who can all support Suarez!!!!
"
"What i dont understand is we got a real quality player in our team. he can score, he can assist and most importantly, HE CAN TAKE ON 3 DEFENDERS AND BEAT THEM(west brom, capital one cup) his name is ASSAIDI. nd y the F#! he doesnt play is besides me! Y BUY HIM THEN? nd no bull about his not used to the EPL"
"I think Gerrard feels there may be a lack cover if he plays too advanced. He's good playing a holding role, but his talents are wasted there. He can't do it all. It's been suggested before, but I think Agger could play further forward until Lucas returns. Allen looks too lightweight in that position."
"Some of you have short memories-who made Torres capable goalscorer in PL?Stevie G used to play on right side...And Assaidi could sometimes play on LW,one half,yes.Reason-Lucas will unload Stevie from holding duties,that's key.YNWA>"
"You're the manager Brendan YOU tell the team where and how to play so why put this garbage on the website.
TELL THE TEAM BEHIND CLOSED DOORS NOT IN PUBLIC, it just sounds like passing the buck for our miserable performances."
"Why ASSAIDI isnt playing regular , the few games he has started he has been great, even got man of the match, so why play downing who has been told he can leave and is playing out of position, he must be gutted and it shows in his performance."
"Asaidi is good and direct offensively, but in general play he needs to speak with his team in ENGLISH. That takes time, and for him to be all 90mins on the field he has to learn what to do and when to do according to the teams tactics. "
"As BR said, others must support Stevie to support Suarez, but not only that, they must support the whole team, esp during counter-attack. it is always that the striker or whomever had the chance with the counter attack, will be left alone to do something. If this keep on happening, how to score?? "
