2012 was the worst year in LFC history in the league. 2013 will be better. We will get more wins, score more goals, sign good players. Happy new year to all who 're associated with this best club in the world. YNWA
"Lets hope so for your sake as you have been truly captain fantastic and lets just hope the rest of the squad can gel with you into a decent team challenging for not just top 4 but the le as for all your efforts over the past decade we would not have achieved anything without your monumental commitment to the cause thank you Gerry and lets just hope we can get you a le or two b4 you retire "
"me too stevie just hope we can add some quality in this window just read we are in for Kevin Gameiro from psg i hope so but my dream would be for mertens and llorente and snieder"
"Happy New Year to all the players, staff and supporters of this great club. Top 4 spot, UEFA and FA Cups will complete a wonderful season. We can achieve it all. YNWA."
"So am I only because I just booked my holidays to get away from the poor football. Over FA cup weekend as well but no chance of being back at Wembley this year not like twice last year :-("
"Stevie G - needless to say that 2013 is our overdrive year & more good things coming our way starting from today..all the best everyone at LFC & FANS WORLDWIDE...YNWA IN 2013!"
"Good luck Stevie. Thank goodness we have you, despite a patchy start to the season you've got better and better. You played great against QPR the other day. Just need to get forward a bit more and score some more cracking goals. All the best for 2013. Stevie, Iniesta and Xabi are the best three midfielders in the world. "
"Well said by SG and I share his optimism!! Anyone doubting SG is onboard with BR, read the above. He is bound to be disappointed when things don't go as planned, but he sees the shoots of recovery, which are going to be more evident to him than us."
"Does anyone remember when we usedto stand on the KOP and sing "WERE GOEN TO WIN THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE AGIAN" oooooh how i yearn for those happy days!!!!!!"
"PLEASE GET WALCOTT AND BA NOW!!! THIS MORNING !!!BR!!!!!JUST STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND GET ON THE BLOWER!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE AND SEE IF WE CAN INCLUDE WILFRED ZAHA AS WELL!!!!!
"
"Lets face it we should only go upwards from here on. Most of us wanna forget 2012 . We know that this is a science.....it as all psychological and hopefully this will transcend to the rest of the team. SG-OUR LEGEND....take us home. To the home of champions. Lets put the pretenders to this throne out of their misery. YNWA-JFT96"
"i just hope all the non-believers read this piece because im susr stevie has had plenty of doubts in the past but is still an LFC player and this is the only club he wants to succeed with.2013 will be a good year for LFC and everyone associated with it. happy new year. YNWA & J4T96 and 3pts tomorrow please."
"I was excited at the beginning of 2012 as well, but by the end of january, a lot of cold water was thrown over it. Hope fsg don't make this jan as agonising as the last and bring in the quality we need early. Happy new year to all!"
"The best performers with Luis Suarez and Joe Allen this season! We could not prescind from his presence in the first XI last and the upcoming year and think he will fight to become POTS at the end of the current campaign! Happy New Year Stevie and all the lads! hope it will be a year of satisfactions and success for you all! YNWA "
"Happy New Year to all at LFC. May the rest of the season be more prosperous, I know its a young enough squad be we need more talent up front and better options in the middle. Gerrard always been a clas act not just since Rodgers has come in."
"At the end of the day we have to be realistic and admit that we are not currently a top club, however, that doesn't mean we won't return to the pinnacle, with the guidance of Rogers and the business sense & money of the owners. I just hope it happens soon enough for Stevie G to get his well deserved premiership medal"
"We need at least 6 other SGs in the pitch. While still you have the armband, groom the likes of Sterling, Hendos, Jonjo,Suso, Wisdom,Morgan to become hard hearted like you and Jamie Carra.YWNWA"
"If SG is confident for 2013 and is excited that the club is going in the RIGHT direction....then who are we(really) to doubt the goings-on.
I think that sometimes my "current" expectations are unrealistic and and the reality is blighted by my love and passion for LFC. I have decided to, henceforth react with my head rather than my heart...GONNA TRY AT LEAST."
""I GENUINELY BELIEVE WE ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION", THE WISE WORDS OF STEVIE.G. SURELY HE'S BETTER POSITIONED THAN ANY OF OUR FICKLE FANS TO MAKE THAT ASSUMPTION !! "
"Happy new year Stevie and other LFC players.Have a very good and successful year with lot of wins.i'm sure Liverpool will be better this year.Good luck in 2013.YNWA"
"Unbelievable. God forbid a realistic outlook on here. The stats alone published on THIS website point to anything but outstanding. He has been poor, tactically unaware and not a leader. Never a bad word about Gerrard yet everyone else gets a tongue lashing. His untouchable status is killing our progress. Great servant but past it the last two years. He needs to be used sparingly not every game."
"Looking forward to 2013 I would add to Stevies words that clubs are also judged on how they handle success. I like how we bounced back, but we also need to stay grounded in order to progress. But overall I'm delighted with the direction LFC is headed. HNY! YNWA."
"Gerrard knows what he is talking-about.He has playing these games before and we have to understand that its a big step for him too playing 4-3-3.4-4-2 he was playing since he came.Its not so easy how it looks like on paper or field.There is real big process going on and he knows that.And he will be fit about 3-5 years i hope.Stevie-G !!!!"
"Our captain speaks and yet some fans continue to give me a migraine, pun intended. SG has been sensational this year, more so than other years - which is no mean feat, because he is virtually guiding a very young team from the most pivotal position, CM! He is more crucial than any other player including Suarez as he is our heartbeat. Take a bow son, take a bow!!!"
"I'm not exactly excited at the turn of the year but as long as we win by two or three goals against Sunderland, I'll feel satisfied. Then get some new players into this threadbare squad!"
"Gerard, what makes you excited about 2013 and everything in the team is not good starting from the onwers, coach and many poor skill players.
Enough this rubbish, if you really want to be excited raise your voice to fix the problems. "
"Fans who call Stevie rubbish has not watch him play all the years he has been at team or maybe watch but not seen his work and atude.He do those things that no-one else do not do today "eyes and brain on field same time at LFC".He is the leader with big L.Stevie-G"
"Stevie G, its simple. We have to WANT and INSIST that we win. Look at Fergie. Its time you opened your mouth in the dressing room and tell players what club it is they play for. Most of the season so far has been way below average and a vast improvement in desire is needed."
"p.s for all the talk of doing business early in January lets just see how that pans out. Surely, if sturridge had a med before xmas, we'd be able to announce him today. The silence is deafening and the sign is ominous!!"
"Is it just me or does the young squad we have here remind anyone of the squad of Utd of early 90s? we got young talented players all over the park, they had nevilles we got Kelly/Wisdom/Robinson they had Scholes/Butt we got Shelvs/Suso Giggs/Stirling and a contraversial number 7 Cantona/Suarez. Am i wrong but is the team we building got everyright to think they can do a Utd for next 20 years? "
"No, no way, Gerrard was NOT a stanout performer since Rogers took over, in fact he (Gerrard) was one of the very poor performers. If he wasn't the club captain he would have been dropped off the starting line-up & would probably be linked with a move out the club during this window."
"Whats wrong with some people on this site. We will get better 2013 ?! Why ? Have we not been trying or something
? Face it, we are a poor team and sg has been just ok to indifferent for 2 seasons or more. MAN UTD etc just do and buy what we dont anymore"
"ANYONE WHO BAGS CAPTAIN FANTASIC ABOUT THE 2ND HALF..DONT EVEN BOTHER THEY PARKED THE BUS ON PURPOSE TO TRY OUT A DIFFRENT TACTIC ..TO SEE IF WE COULD PARK THE BUS AFTER LEADING BY THREE...THANK GOD THE REF DIDNT BLOW 2 CLEAR HANDBALL PENALTYS..WE NEED TO KEEP GOING FOR LIKE 4-5 GOALS A GAME JUST TO KEEP IT IN THE BALANCE"
"Replying to KidofKop at top of page in particular, but to anyone who forgets that LFC is more than a football club: 1989 was the worst year in LFC history and in 2012 we got justice (oh, and a trophy.)"
"we seem to have been in transition for too long and looking back since hodgson stevie lad mustve said the like since hodgson. Lets hope BR can lead us with stevie and optimistically Sneijder!! YNWA"
