"Home or away, every game is an opportunity to close the gap. Our away form was better in the previous campaign but I think this team is well capable of getting top 4. In fact, if you added Falcao to this team we'd win the league next year 100% guaranteed.
"
"FSG can u here wat rodgers is saying the current squad isnt big or good enough stop eat your big mac and fries and listen we either spend big in january or u can kiss CL football goodbye and EL as well"
"First time in a while BR has spoken of sensible expectations. 4th is our target. Finishing 7th wouldn't be, quote, a "fantastic achievement", and it's just plain wrong to say after bore draw at Swansea, "I'll never say coming here's was 2 pts dropped" "
"Unless we sign atleast 2 top players in January then top 4 is not realistic target. And if we buy players like Bent and Sturridge then even top 6 would be impossible."
"I'd rather we delayed the stadium development for 1 more year and spent the money on Falcao. Do anything to sign this one particular player who would make the difference. Suarez, Gerrard and Falcao = CHAMPIONS of the EPL."
"Ian Ayre needs to go... he is not dynamic enough. We will be lucky to sign anyone in January, and likely lose Raheem because of this incompetent fool. I feel for BR."
"sorry to hear about J Cole he gets in the way of Suso. don't foget Downing at left back and Henderson at right back,getting frightened to see the team sheet."
"Brendan- you are simply giving people bullets come last week in Jan if we've not 'done our business'. A la 'I'd be crazy to let Andy Carroll leave without a replacement'. However, we will batter Southampton today 4-0."
"I believe Rodgers has done a great job so far he has had to recoup what he could after spending on average players. I'm really positive about the future I think if he was given the spending power in January we could really push on in the second half of the season but we need to get to Jan close to the top 4 spot."
"just weeks ago you said it would be a struggle to hit top 8, now its top 4!! and youll be lucky if its top half if you keep insisting on paying henderson and drowning. SELL THEM AND COLE, GET SOME DECENT PLAYERS IN "
"Top 4? It's not going to happen this term. We are not good enough. Brendans task, this term, is to build for the future. He shouldn't waste time dreaming. Lot of time (20 years or so) has been lost in tle hopes already. Drop some players for the sake of youth and future. We will get there but we have to work on it. YNWA whatever happens."
"There are 2/3 players
that have disapointed
so far this season ,
the most disapointing is
Jonjo Shelvey he has done
very little to justify is
inclusion on the bench.
He comes on with 1/2 hr to
go but offers very little.
Brendan should look at
someone else as first change"
"Basically we need someone in the Rush, Fowler mold to play up front with Suarez and Sterling. The best possible person we could sign for that role is Falcao. He's the one we want..."
"the players are not playing well rodgers stop chattin sh*te,allen has been poor for a £15m player,sidewards & back with little sh*ty passes,downing oh dear !!!,hendo is shocking aswell,wake up rodgers & get some points on the board ,we are fans that know the game ,you are not a liverpool fan & it shows."
"The stuff am reading on sky sports is shocking!! Apprantly Rodgers hasn't offer Raheem a 'solid' contract and he will listen to offers for Reina... If this happens he NEEDS to buy WORLD class players like Cavani, Falceo or he's a dead man walking "
"We are favorit in next seven fixtures ..
soton -h, hammers-a, villa-h, fulham-h, qpr-a,stoke-a, sunderland-h....my target 5-2-0...and we are 3-4 pts behind top4."
"last season with kenny with created all the chances in the world,the team was very sharp,now we have br and i have to say anyone can pass the ball back an fort,were not creating anything no point haven the ball if you cant stick it in d net,we wont win antn with him,were nearly out of europa,out of d fa cup,no chance of fourth,at least kenny got us a cup,an was making progress"
"Success is within our grasp... drop Downing and Hendo. Start Shelvey and Suso. Rest Sterling for Assaidi. Rest Gerrard for Sahin. Sell Reina ( cant stop a shot anymore) in a swap deal for Walcott. Give Morgan a chance too. Scared to check team sheet today... if Downing and Hendo play we are screwed."
"I can't remember a time that Liverpool finished below 8th position. I just want a top 8 finish. If he can't deliver, then LFC should really think if he can do better with 2-3 new players."
"mike bassett rides again,get the people in the box and get the ball in box ,then we might have a chance,suarez should not drop deep to get the ball,drop the rubbish and if allen is player sh*te sub,but you haven't subbed him yet have you uncle brendan"
"Arhat: yes wishful thinking. Fact is we never recovered after our first match when we got out-classed by WBA 3-0. BR is clueless. He is basically sending out 11 players and hoping they will play well. Any one with a pulse can do that and we dont need to pay him/her £5M a year !"
"In BR I have a very BIG TRUST!!! If not this season, its the next one to be crowned the EPL le. YWNA.Guys lets support our coach and the squad regardless the turbulent we face...we have to be positive always."
"i wouldnt compare rodgers to kenny i.e. form wise its a no brainer rodgers needs money to spend not 25 mill but a lot more coz with the current squad were going nowere fast. the best way for rodgers to answer is critcs is with football on the pitch. i think the reason hes talkin top 4 is hes sending a message to the owners "
"Interested to know who the half is?
It's time the owners backed their manager, they keep telling the fans to back him so get your money out Mr Henry and flash the cash."
"I was patient and polite,but I think that B.R.has started to talk too much,more than K.Kenny or Rafa.I'd like to see his ideas on the pitch and results as consequence.The best managers used to talk when necesarry.Let's gather players in some room at Anfield and explain them.YNWA>"
"WAIT WAIT WAIT...FIRST HE SAID NOT TO EXPECT ANYTHING AS WE ARE REBUILDING..NO CHANCE OF COMING FOURTH SO HE COMES OUT AND SAYS THIS..SORRY BOSS..BUT UNLESS FSG SPEND ON 6 PLAYERS WERE SHORT OF.. ILL BE THANKFUL WITH ANOTHER EUROPA SLOT..IM ALL FOR THE DEVELOPEMENT AND WHERE WE ARE HEADING..BUT CHANGING UR MIND WEEKLY..BLAH"
"GIVE THE SPOTS BACK TO WISDOM,SUSO,PACHECO, THE KENNY WAY WAS THE BEST TEAM IN THE PL..SHOT MORE THEN R MADRID EVERY GAME..AND STILL DIDNT WORK.. YOUNGER LADS WILL GIVE MORE.. GERRARD NEEDS A BREAK.. ALLEN GIVES BALL AWAY TO MUCH.WHERES SAHIN HE OWNS THE FIELD..AND ASSIDI A WINGER..SOMETHING WE NEVER USE"
"Don t play hendo or downing and we will win!! anything else dont bother listenining
its so simple BR!!! Play your best 11 it aint rocket science!!!!Come on the red men lets go gaol crazy from now to the window!!!!!"
"Need more than good luck mate.Need a bit of common sense in the team selection.
By the way can you amagine if KK had av paid 50mill and got Tevez???? we would be right up there now!!!"
"Well its pretty clear we need another talisman Suarez, Gerrard(of 3 years back).Someone who is sheer class (or can be),dangerous everytime he gets the ball
or pace to carry the team forward .
Tello and Cavani would do for me."
"AS LONG AS HENDERSON STARTS THE GAME, STATISTICS TELLS THAT LOOSING OR DRAWS WILL BE OUR DESTINY, NEED TO START SHELVEY, SAHIN OR SUSO IN THE MF WITH ALLEN AND HENDERSON ON BENCH. HENDERSON DO WELL WITH SUBSUTIONS RATHER THAN STATING 11
ON BR WE TRUST"
"does BR think he is still in charge of Swansea or Reading ? why is a massive ask to come 4th ? we are LFC we have Reina, Johnson, Agger, Skertl,Gerrard,Sterling,Suarez why shouldnt we come 4th ? he is just trying to hide the fact that we have only won 3 league games so far by saying the squad isnt strong enough. is EFC squad any stronger than ours ? i dont think so."

"If i see it from our performence until now , so i think we played better football than most of those who are above us exept Everton. But we really need a stiker to finish the job .
"
"is anyone,if your truly truly honest,100% confident we will win today ? i know im not !!! if we dont win big big questions need asking and more importantly answering"
"Move Gerrard Closer to the top, play him where Enrique is playing now. Let Sahin and Allen do the work in the middle with Shelvy floating. but Gerrard has to get on the attack more. pls Brendan. "
"BR is one of the BIGGEST JOKER to ever manage Liverpool. Look at the position we are in...and this guy still says we are going make it to Top 4. It makes me laugh my head off. Perhaps he means top 4 after being relegated to Championship League."
"I believe. It may not happen this year or maybe not quite next year either. But if Rodgers is left there long term him and the squad are only going to improve & grow - YNWA!"
"Top four is the short term aim, but not exactly sure we'll grab it this season. There is potential there, but we make too many mistakes in defence and don't put away enough chances up front. Putting in good performances otherwise."
"All you pathetic dreamers that mention Falcao as an LFC prospect,FORGET IT YOU BUNCH OF PATHETIC IDIOTS. HIS NEXT TEAM WILL BE REAL MADRID GUARANTEED!!!!!!!!!!! "
"Bredan u work on the team scoring goals..not interviews we have been poor in scoring goals..we also want to u to push for quality player to support Suarez and the captain"
"Forget the top four BR, as long as some amateur like Shelvey will play for LFC we will never reach 4th not even the fifth place. Whenever I see Shelvey playing he looks an amateur playing football...he is really the worst player ever played for LFC,he is really as bad as Carroll. "
"It's not that difficult and unlikely either. Just sign Vossen from Genk and push Suarez to the left where you get even more out of him than we do now. Sterling on the right and you're done."
"To be honest Buck you haven't always been optimistic. Recently your aim was 8th, and your run scared style against chavski, swans and spurs reaffirmed this. Of course you found out rather rudely this isn't the LFC way, and fans won't 'accept anything when winning' aude, and got straight back on the RED pills, lesson well and truly learnt, I hope."
"January is the tough month that BR you need to gear for, we will need to win against Manure, Arsenal and the likes in January for a Top Four Finish,it on your Killer Instinct as we take no prisoners and win the games with killer tactics and a new striker as back up for Suarez!"
"BR, listen to the fans.. the y have been with the longer than you have.. Get rid of Henderson, Downing and Cole. Get a striker and a proven attacking midfield. We need some bite in those areas. We have a shot at the top four. "
"Forget Henderson... Get Diame from West Ham.. That guy is a monster and the way he outclass chevs' midfield n defence was sheer class. We need that kind of player and not the likes of Henderson who always play back and side passes."
"It's numerically possible we could be third by the end of the month, but that won't happen because it relies on too many unlikely results (Sunderland beating Man U, Reading beating Man C). But if we win our next five games we could realistically be 8th or 9th by New Year. Let's just focus on ourselves, but increase strike power in January!"
