"where are you south african scouser????? you must be a blue fan..... we played well, not that good up front, but still a clean sheat, a great game by lucas, gerrard's back, allen worthy, agger a beast, and enrique motm to me.....
"
"A week or two ago, a match like that would have ended 1-1. Even though he's not fully fit yet, you can see the difference Lucas brings to our defensive play. Refreshing 3 points."
"We should have scored more goals..But its always good to have the 3 points..Good work boys..Allen very good when he plays forward.Cap fantastic did very well..Now get off rodgers back and lets move on..YNWA"
"Sounds like an extremely dominant performance. Just need someone other than Suarez who can finish off moves. So many chances yet it takes Dagger to score?"

"a wins a win doesnt matter how its done! best part of the match was joe allen finally being took off, he shouldnt start he brings nothing to the team and shown it again today :)"
"Well done lads! Three vital points for us! An excellent first half in whom we created plenty of chances but scored just once and a really difficult second in whom we found it difficult to kill the game! A pity for all the chances wasted! Outstanding performance by a returning Lucas! We need to score more goals, but this is useless to say! YNWA"
"Dear BR... Please explain why you keep playing that donkey Henderson!!!! Well played Red Men a great and well deserved win with some fantastic football. (until Henderson came on)."
"Great we won!! but if boredness could kill, a lot of liverpool fans would have died today during the 2nd half...what a crap half that was...glad to see lucas back too"
"lucas was brilliant can see already what he brings too the team, hes always in the right place at the right time to make tackles, clearences and blocks! great to have him back"
"Very poor performance at home to another newly promoted team. Next up West Ham away, I don't hold to much hope for us in that game especially now Suarez will be suspended for that one. Prove me wrong BR"
"blimey, back to back wins at home in the league and 2 clean sheets 2 boot as well and some people are still moaning. id rather us play ugly and win rather than play beautifully and lose"
"well done reds and my man of tne match lucas. good team effort. need another striker to finish off. next 6 games are all winnable so time to climb table to where we belong. come on u reds. need a result against udinese. ynwa. "
"My mother in law is a lady in her 80s; she loves to watch football games on TV with me. We watch live games including Liverpool and other games here in the US. After winning 1-0 against the Saints, she told me that the problem with Liverpool last season and this season is that you do not shoot at the goal! The shoot around the goal or just try to hit the posts or the cross bar!."
"main stat of the day: RODGERS FINALLY TOOK ALLEN OFF :) ABOUT TIME!!! NOW LUCAS IS BACK THE MIDFIELD SHOULD BE LUCAS GERRARD SHELVEY, ALLEN BRINGS NOTHING TO THE TEAM"
"Good to see Agger finally hitting the back of the net with one of his headers. Centre-halfs scoring with headers and corners are so important. Hyypia used to do it regularly, Agger and Skrtel need to keep it going. Well done, lads."
"Can not wait for next game.
Next game line up : reina, enrique, agger, skertl, johnson, sterling, gerrard, lucas, allen, suso/ cole, shelvey. Subs : jones, carragher, wisdom, henderson, suso/cole, morgan/ngoo"
"great job by agger not only with the goals but also with his play on the ball and also his defence. But evrybody must take note that we struggle to beat soton. what will we do with bigger clubs."
"Keep winning boys and improve on the finishing. The 3 points today will definitely count considering table toppers Arsenal, Chelsea, WBA all lost and MC only managing a draw at home. But we cannot depend too much on our faltering rivals all time. "
"sterling needs rest...
gerrard n allen were good..
n what a diff lucas made...
all over class...
well i think jonjo will have to b up front or yesil n sahin play jonjo's place...
wid assaidi taking sterlings place..."
"a header... makes you think if Andy Carrol is really not fitting.. there are a lot of high balls that do not get to where they are supposed to (the net) opposition defence usually play us with two DMC and tha means the box is to crowded and highballs good choice"
"yeeeehaaaaaa...3 points! Suarez - take your much needed forced REST and be good for ALL games after the hammers...Jose THE BANG BANG Enrique - you're on fire Mr Locomotive! Assaidi should start with Sterling, Enrique and Suso upfront for more winning goals as Luis takes a sabbatical leave :) YNWA!"
"LMAO AT redder-than-red... THERE THEY GO BR FANS AS I SAID THEY'D BE CLAIMING PROGRESS AND A TOP 4 FINISH AFTER BEATING A NEWLY PROMOTED SIDE AT HOME BY 1-NIL. A WIN AS I EXPECTED MADE ME SUM MONEY... GOOD 2HAVE LUCAS BACK... GOOD SUB BR BRINGING ON CARA 2PROTECT THE LEAD WELL DONE"
"good 3 points missed 1st half unfortunately ,2nd half was a bit mish mash good to see lucas getting the minutes in , we missed some easy chances again tho but glad of 3 points YNWA "
"A few more goals would have been real sweet and utterly satisfying with a brace from Suarez!! Its OK for now but the winning mentality should prevail. Keep it up boys.
YNWA"
"Time again why were Yesil & Assaidi always absent???? Proven goalscorers at good prices but not featured. BR should let them start and get goals to lift the heavy shoulders of Suarez and Sterling! Enrique - you should always play like today and wow, what dead bang shots to the goals."
"AT malloy1991 TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU BOUT OUR MID, I'D LIKE TO SEE LUCAS/JONJO/GERRARD TOO... JONJO JUST HAS THAT GOAL THREAT ALLEN DOESNT OFFER AND WE NEED AS MANY GOAL THREATS AS WE CAN HAVE ON THE PITCH. SADLY THOW THAT WONT HAPPEN AS BR WILL ALWAYS START ALLEN"
"welcome 3 points, fin ishing still a worry, well done lucas, shows how below standard our midfield has been.louis will have a rest, your chance to shine brendon with your selection."
"AS FOR THE SUAREZ BAN, I ACTUALLY DONT FEAR WESTHAM AT ALL EVEN AWAY... ON THE POSITIVE SIDE WE CAN NOW AFFORD TO PLAY SUAREZ ON THURSDAY FOR HIM TO HELP US QUALIFY. "
"southafricanscouser: yeah shelvey is always trying to get in the box and attempting runs in behind, rodgers needs to think for the benefit of the team and bench allen, was good to see him take him off for once today"
"sterling enrique and lucas!!! best players today!!!! and OMG!!!! allen got taken off!!! was i seeing things or did that really happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Forget the transition. We are short of time. Remaining EPL fixtures to go 23. How many of these do you think, we should tentatively collect all 3 points from (if not all) in order to be a the top 4 at the end of season. Visualize it and Go get it all boys. YNWA."
"Just nice to get 3 points. Not going to make any predictions or mention that other teams above have lost points. Too many false dawns in recent years. Take each game as they come and hopefully onwards and upwards!!! "
"We beat first division cannon fodder 1 nil & people are goin on like weve just beat barca dont make me laff its not good enough fsg weres all the 16 multimillionares get ye money out & back rodgers"
"24 shots,11 of these on target,and 10 corners,70% of the play,Thats the up side now the bad part only 1 goal and suerz and jamie see yellow!!!
aah well suppose a win is a win!"
"Brucelee33 isnt it funny then that that championship team are in the prem!!!or am i missing something here.please smile and take it as it is.a win is a win is awin is a win!!!!what part of diss dont u understand???"
"I guess, moaners & haters are always be there ;) I'm pretty sure, when Liverool did beat Besiktas 8-0 there's still was some lads who wasn't happy and thought it was bad day LOL! CLean sheet, a three points, Lucas is back with MOTM perfomance.. what else do you need?"
"Intertaining football is a luxury we can't seem to afford at this time, the owners are as tight as a drum and want success on peanuts, they've no interest in buying top quality in January, so we need to be thankful that somehow we managed 3 points at home today, I don't care too much for show as long as we get those points."
"We exist on humble pie for the present, until we somehow somewhere get ambitious owners but until then we wait, it's out of our hands, January won't be long but we shouldn't build our hopes up. At least Abramovich is there each week to follow his team. unlike our absentee landlords who are rarely ever to be seen."
"well said loz99. we are liverpool football club. we have our history and will add to our history now and in the future. B.R is our manager. support him or if u dont like him support another team.try chelski with rafa. they are doing well. ha! support the team. we are not far off from a good team come jan we can add and improve"
"Lucas' return is a rall blessing. His presence moved a few players upfront. Gerrard was playing like his old self again, and it is good to see somebody else scoring. We should take our chances and we look to hammers in confidence. "
"A WIN AND 3 VITAL POINTS. STILL STRUGGLING TO HIT THE BARN DOOR BUT NO GOOD HARPING ON ABOUT SIGNING THIS FORWARD OR THAT STRIKER, EVERYONE AT LFC KNOWS IT'S A PRIORITY SO NOTHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL JANUARY. "
"Brendan, please get Cavani! Him and King Luis will make all our dreams come true, it would help you realise all your ambitions, it will change everything, try it!!!"
"A Shiek, A Sheik, My Kingdom for a Sheik!! Please sell LFC to a Sheik FSG, Sheiks are more ambitious than Baseball lovers, if FSG had any interest in soccer and the club they bought then it's obvious they would be here a lot more often."
"Speaking of fans who supposedly are accused of not backing the manager ie when they expect more, It's more important that the owners get behind the manager and get their cheque books out and start buying players of a much higher quality so the manager can make more progress, BR is handicapped by these guys."
"thank God for the 3 points..played much better than 1-0..need more creativity in the midfield. Where is Suso? ...going to be tough at West Ham with no striker..put Stevie up top..YNWA"
"Hit the woodwork twice and had loads of chances. Luckily we held on to the lead this time. Have to ride the games till Jan when hopefully we get the players we need. Have to EEK out results like this although not ideal. If we could have done this in previuos matches instead of squandering we would have been up there."
"As for Suarez ban we new this would happen at some stage and it is better now than later a t a crucial stage if we get there. Last year he was banned for 8 matches and although we had alternatives at that time in Maxi and Dirk we have to shuffle the side this time. We are not a one man TEAM. Jon-Jo to fill in for one game."
"With Suarez missing against West Ham, I feel BR could do worse than find a gap to take a look at NGOO. His performances this year have been excellent, Strong and skillful,he is quicker than he looks and his accuracy around the goal would be a bonus. Scores goals for fun!"
"WELL DONE LFC.KEEP ON WINNING THE GAMES PLEASE.JONJO CANT EVEN STOP A PASS,HENDO S NO BETTER.ENRIQUE EL TORO S GREAT MOTM FOR ME.SHOULD PLAY UP FRONT NEXT GAME."
"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."
