"GERRARD CROSSES INTO STURRIDGE LIVERPOOL 1-0 AND ITS ONLY THE 5TH MINUTE...AFTER THE RESTART.. SUAREZ DISPOSES OF A WEAK CITY DEFENCE AND TAKES A SHOT...GOALLLLLLLLLL COMES IN OFF J HARTS HEAD..LIVERPOOL 2 -0 UP ...GAME GOES DIRE FOR 30 MINUTES...BALL LANDS 10 METERS OUTSIDE THE BOX...GERRARD...OHHHHH WHAT A HIT SON WHAT A HIT"
"Stevie you played brilliant last night. The best I've seen you play all season. Absolutely at the top of your form. A fantastic midfield performance by a very special player. Still the best midielder in the world. Well done Stevie!"
"LFC are steadily moving through the re-build. Last night was a warning to other teams that the 'Anfield Fortress' is in the process of re-emerging. Great performance by the team - YNWA"
"Totally agree with Stevie, Daniel is at the right place at the right time and its up to him to grab the chance he is getting. Also with Luis, he is provibg to be a world class striker as well as a world class playmaker, he assisted Hunrelaar and so many others to ubelievable tallies, now he is at the top of the charts in the epl."
"still welcome to LFC Dan! think that BR will need time to insert Dan Sturridge into the first XI and for sure I see him more as an impact player for us at the beginning of his LFC career! After all he has been bought to play upfront and as backup for Luis Suarez. Please BR don't move Raheem and Stewie from the wings, they have created a well-working mechanism, don't touch it! YNWA Dan Sturridge"
"To still be in contention for 4th after loaning AC without a replacement being brought in afterwards is a massive achievement. Sturridge will help the group kick on now for the 2nd half of the season."
"I'm sure is a good lad but he is bit selfish i hope he will change his style. at this stage we need play maker a real number 10 for Suso to learn more he is our future Messi. "
"We got 3 hard away games comming up i wonder how many pts we will get a lot will depend with these results where we finish lets hope DS will bang in a few goals,YNWA"
"Dear 25 OGTO,
The most stupid and ill considered remark of the year so far, I have to ask, are you actually a liverpool fan?
have you just woken from a coma more thick than you were before? Save us from [fans like you."
"Stevie plays, Liverpool play- Its as simple as that. Gerro last night was absolutely superb and him and Luis look unplayable on that form. Dare we dream of a Sturridge winner v Manure on the 13th?...."
"'250GTO' - i agree a little with wot u say - we need quality/experience/proven buy(s), but Suarez is now on fire, lets hope that inspires DS. he should be hungry to prove a point - 2 great solid team games and we need that to continue YNWA"

"Raheem and Sturridge are very similar players really. If they can both run off Suarez's passes the way Raheem did last night, they'll cut defences apart. Especially with Gerrard or Suso behind them feeding balls in as well."
"MOTM for me against Sunderland. What an assist that was! He can play in every area of the midfield, and he's everywhere the best. Only thing what you're missing at the moment are some superb goals from distance. Every time he takes on a shot I hope you make one! YNWA Stevie!"
"OUR CAPTAIN FANTASTIC IS BACK WITH A BANG BABY. LFC IS A DIFFERENT TEAM WHEN STEVIE G IS ON SONG. THERE ARE VERY FEW PLACE IN WORLD FOOTBALL WHERE ONE MAN CAN MEAN SO MUCH TO A TEAM...TO A CITY ......TO A PEOPLE.
COME ON ALL YOU SCEPTICS WHO WERE SO ADAMANT THAT OUR CAPTAIN WAS A SPENT FORCE ....EAT HUMBLE PIE NOW. "
"we can drop downing now, and use the three S's up front. Sterling sturridge and saurez, pretty awesome! fast, tricky and all can score! opponents will not know where the the threat is coming from! very happy, hope he fulfils his potential!"
"also people saying they prefer Ba to sturridge, this was never an option, he was always moving for the money and we want people to move for the passion of the game, sturridge to a pay cut to come to us, that is all i need to know!"
"Stevie G was just in transition - from swashbuckling displays to controlled masterclass performances! More of the same sir. That kind of performance deserves to be in seen in the CL!!!"
"The term ''world class'' is used a little bit too much especially on over-rated rubbish i.e. Rooney. However it should only be used on genuine world class talents like Luis Suarez."
"Would some of you please please quit the abuse on Jordan Henderson. The difference between the game between QPR and Stoke was Henderson. We were light in midfield against Stoke. QPR are just as muscular and we pounded them. Henderson is going to be a very good player, mark my words."
"BA' s bubble is gonna burst soon.The honeymoon is over for him....he has gone to a SMALL club with probably the least knowledgable supporters in the UK. They are as fickle as they come and they will turn on him when things go sour in front of goal. The fact that is prepared to play second fiddle to our BANK say a lot for his passion. Good player but happy that he has slipped thru our net."
"Yes Stevie I share the view that Sturridge has loads of potential and will do well for us.
All he needs is knuckle down,work hard and learn from Luis and you.
The lad has got plenty of pace and skill to burn and plays direct football and most importantly shoots.
Remember Adam Johnson's goal against Mancity, sometimes it is better to test goalie s from distance.
"
"Ppl who say Chelsea got a good deal with BA are not aware that even though the fee to newcastle is 7M. The agents fees and additional payments will take the total cost close to what we paid for DS. PLUS he has a chronic knee condition. but hes a good player. "
"Things a really looking up again at liverpool, I thought Downing was a constant threat last night. I was so disappointed after Stoke but its funny how quick things can change in football. Thats the stevie G I know, his best proformance of the season last night, It looks like everyone's hitting top form at just the right time! BR philosophy is starting to show and the team is gelling now! YNWA "
"COME ON GUYS! WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME SIDE HERE. OUR TEAMS GOT OFF TO A FANTASTIC START WITH AN AWESOME DISPLAY. LETS ALL GET BEHIND OUR TEAM AND ALL START SINGING FROM THE SAME HYMN SHEET NO MORE SLATING OUR PLAYER/ MANAGEMENT AND MOST OF ALL FSG. IT IS WHAT IT IS. WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK HERE. LETS GIVE BR A CHANCE."
"Sturridge & Suarez is a far better combo than Fernando To$$er & Ba - I'll give that pairing til the end of the season then both will be gone! FT will sulk off back to his home club and Ba will keep chasing the dollar, to Paris me thinks."
" .as ive said before its a long season, a marathon not a sprint.so lets wait and see how the 2nd half goes. maybe cavani is on his way? kingofclubs spot on"
"BR comment:'He's coming into a club with values and ethics that have been retained for over many, many years. He'll not learn only about football, he'll learn about being a top human being' Speaks volumes about the club from which he's been saved from! A bunch of egotistical to$$ers - good luck Demba!" "
"As for Joseph Cole - sorry pal but your career in the prem is over, go back to France a far less compeive league. West Ham will love you - obviously - but you simply can't hack it anymore week in week out - 90000 a week 'Yorr arvin a larrrf sunshine!"
"Let's hope we can keep the consistency levels up, we have tough fixtures coming up. If we could get through January with 7points and another 2 signings we are in for a special 2nd half.. Borini,Enrique,Kelly need to come back soon and am telling you we don't have a bad team after all.. We need Sneijder or Alonso + Villa all bring in experience. Top4 will be iminent perhaps Europa too :-D"
"Hope we continue to push up the table in 2013.This will keep all the IDIOTS at bay.Makes me angry when we dont play so well,and the next thing they are all on here moaning,but if we win,not one of them are seen.We dont need so called fans like them...YNWA"
"He has a sort off Denzel Washington atti-tude glint in his eyes but with a Will Smith charm and charisma, I feel I could really warm to this guy, we could get to really lovin' him here at LFC, boy I hopes he grows into a giant at Liverpool YNWA Danny!!!"
"So Excited about seeing him play for us. I know he hasn't played a game yet but I feel happy about this decision. He's confident, strong and knows where the box is (He's English rubbish too so that will annoy some people!)lol"
"YOU'RE RIGHT STEVIE. "A PLAYER WITH HUGE POTENTIAL". BUT ACCORDING TO SOME OF OUR NUGGET FANS "HE'S S**T". AND HE HASN'T KICKED A BALL FOR LFC YET !! THE MODERN DAY FOOTBALL FAN - RASH JUDGEMENTS AND KNEEJERK REACTIONS !! "
"LFC THRU THICK + THIN. I gave up pointing this out ages ago, it actually makes no difference, whether you win or lose they are still there. I have a feeling DS will be very good for us, but he has to be given time. BS is a good coach look at how he has got Henderson and Downing playing now."
"LFC THRU THICK + THIN & dan62: well delivered comments. For the first time ever I have seen some fans not welcoming a new signing...I detest this new breed of fan. A Captain could not have uttered any better words for Daniel & the team, I bet DS finally has someone to look up to & emulate with the likes of Stevie G & King Luis."
"DAN62, IT'S RIDICULOUS. I'VE NEVER SEEN A POTENTIAL NEW SIGNING GET SO MUCH STICK. EVEN ALDO TOUCHED ON THE SUBJECT ON TWITTER. DS IS 23 AND AN ENGLAND INTERNATIONAL WHO HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN A FAIR CRACK AT CHELSEA. YOU'D THINK WE WERE SIGNING JOVANOVIC OR STRACQUARLASI. "
"As anyone who has played at a compeive level knows, football is all about confidence & when it starts it's so infectious. This lad needs an arm round his shoulder, not from just the players & staff, but more from the fans. Please give him a chance to settle or has the fanbase become so corrupted that some want him to fail! YNWA Daniel."
"CHAMPIONSOFEUROPE, IT'S MADNESS !! I'M SURE STEVIE.G AND THE LIKES OF JOHN ALDRIDGE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT AS OPPOSED TO BILLY THE BRICKY AND LENNY LARD A*** WHO COULDN'T GET A GAME FOR THE FARMERS ARMS ALE GUT 11 !!!!"
"welcome daniel.. wishing you success at LFC for a long time to come and may your dreams be fulfilled here.. like SG said lets show the world what you can do.. YNWA "
"LFC THRU THICK + THIN: Had the lad read many of the comments building up to his transfer to LFC, I wouldn't of blamed him for sticking two fingers up at us such was the vileness of the comments. Interesting to see though, some of the names I noted have changed there tune in a millisecond now he's signed!"
"CHAMPIONSOFEUROPE 19.51, ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON !! SOMETIMES YOU CAN SPOT THE 'FANS' WHO PROBABLY USED TO FORGET THEIR PE KIT BECAUSE THEY WERE TERRIBLE FOOTY PLAYERS - "TOMMY, YOU'RE S**T, GET IN GOAL". BUT HERE THEY ARE TELLING ENGLAND INTERNATIONALS HOW BAD THEY ARE !!!"
"CHAMPIONSOFEUROPE, PROBABLY THE SAME FANS GIVING IT THE "RODGERS OUT" SHOUT AFTER A DEFEAT I PRESUME ?? HOPEFULLY SOME NAMING AND SHAMING IN THE NEAR FUTURE THEN !! "
"CHAMPIONSOFEUROPE name and shame them mate. thats what they deserve. ive noticed a few reversed comments. can you get posts that are no longer on here?. come sunday i know its M.T but i hope D.S plays and scores to get off to a flyer. we are a good team and dont need someone chasing money rocking our boat. we will get there under brendans guidance. YNWA"
"LFC THRU- It wasn't me bad mouthing DS although I will hold my hands up - I did say I'd make a Papier Mache effigy of BR if we didnt beat QPR. Im glad we did as I would have had to find a large balloon to make his head. "
"REDAHENDO, NOT AS LARGE AS THE BALLOON YOU'D NEED FOR STEVE BRUCE, JOE ROYLE OR SAM 'FRIDGE HEAD' ALLARDYCE. I RECKON YOU'D NEED SOME HELP OFF RICHARD BRANSON THERE."
"LFC THRU THICK + THIN & plyNo1red: totally feel your sentiments, but I'd be a hypocrite if I named any on here (they know who they are) & I will not stoop to the dung depths they habituate.
plyNo1red: I think you can use the archive for past comments (it's all there)."
"The FA cup game on Sunday is the perfect platform for Sturridge to ply his trade & get to know the team when the heat is on. Needless to say & contrary to many opinions, this is still a cup I want to challenge for."
"LFC THRU- Don't let them get to you.I do agree with what your saying,but you are not doing your BP any good.LOL.I think you are doing Billy the Brickie an injustice and Lenny Lard**** has shed a good 12 pounds since Xmas.Anyway welcome to L4 Daniel! "
"championsofeurope thanks. yes they know who they are and we know they are waiting for our next blip (hope they have a long wait) b4 they show themselves. we will still support LFC and all the players involved. you can see the team is improving massively, creating loads of chances and burying a few as well. long may that continue. YNWA"
"GTLFC, EXCUSE MY NAIVETY, BP ??? IT'S NOT THAT THEY'RE GETTING TO ME, THAT TYPE OF FAN NEEDS TO BE HUNG, DRAWN AND QUARTERED OR GIVEN A HALF SEASON TICKET FOR THE GWLADYS STREET AT WOODISON PARK."
"Sorry Blood pressure.I used to do pretty much what you are doing now,when KK was in charge.I had to stop reading the comments for a while.I find it easier to pity them. Especially the cowardly ones who type above their weight."
"plyNo1red: they're like a sleeping virus; the cure will be our success, but sadly these imbeciles will also share that success without any afterthought of their disloyalty when the club cried out to them for help. There will certainly be more blips & these troll will rear again, but with fans like you & LIFE, bring 'em on!"
"Lets all get behind the team for what they are going to achieve in the future even if its not this season it will be next, for the club because it is simply the best, for the owners who are doing lot of good stuff andBR because his heart is in the right place."
"GT-LFC A bit slow on the uptake today. Havent had my dose of Powderfingers yet. Where is he or she?(Please note the use of both genders to avoid embarrassment )"
"it is so much more enjoyable reading good positive comments instead of posts from so called fans who just cant wait to knock the club they are meant to be supporting.there are a few duels from time 2 time which can be amusing but if a player wears a red shirt support them. "
"CONT some players are regularly targeted but they dont set their sale price. any mistakes are in past so we should all look to the future as i feel good times will be returning very soon. and i do mean this season as well. YNWA"
"CONT some players are regularly targeted but they dont set their sale price. any mistakes are in past so we should all look to the future as i feel good times will be returning very soon. and i do mean this season as well. YNWA"
"The stick Stevie G has got on here lately has been an absolute disgrace.People really don't watch the games properly at all.You've started me off now LFC THRU!!!"
"plyNo1red: wise & refreshing words for this site recently. What is a wonderment though is how incredible it is that Suarez thrives off the negativity of the opposition, it just feeds his hunger. It's one of the oldest cliches, but he really does do his talking on the pitch & shuts the opposition up with his brilliance. What a dream for DS to be able to play with Luis."
"ChampionsOfEurope - Its no secret that I've had more than a few criticism's of Suarez - However I've never wanted him out. I just wanted him to keep his cool with Refs, stop the diving and constant appealing and have a bit more respect for his fellow team members. Apart from that he's fantastic!"
"welcome daniel sturridge, sg has said it all you have worked your way from city to chelsea and finally you have reached the top. ds will be great at liv as we need more experience in attack, sterling has been played a bit too much and ds can now step in to take the pressure off him."
"luis seems to be helping sterling more lately and it was nice to see him want to celebrate his goal with him. cant wait to see luis take this form to utd. fergie is probably doing his nut in thinking how do you stop him. the simple answer is YOU CANT. he gets kicked and fouled and verbally abused and then punishes them by scoring out of nothing. just pure class. YNWA"
"redahendo - I can agree with that perspective on Suarez wholeheartedly. He has mellowed a lot, but that may also be down to his 5 star form right now. However, it does scare me that taking that, call it petulence, out of his game & he may lose that hunger. I have a feeling the opposition have learnt a hard lesson recently, boo Suarez at your own peril - he loves it!"
"Right, time to call it a day on here, all this positivity is making my head spin. Can't wait for Sunday's game now, what a time to hit form - so excited - can't really contain myself. Laters LFC fans...lets paint the Premiership LFC RED. YNWA my friends."
"ChampionsofEurope - Without Doubt. He thrives off it. He loves being the pantomime villain. However the club comes 1st and if his actions cause us to lose key decisions etc then youve got to look at the bigger picture. It comes down to what you would prefer - A boring league victory or an entertaining 8th place? "
"think luis has turned over a new leaf but hope he carries on being the player he is now. he is simply unplayable. dont know if he will feature much on sunday. B.R might want to rest him for utd or may want to see how he does with D.S. cant wait 'til then. YNWA & J4T96"
"If Sturridge plays v Mansfield he will score, the lad has talent but he's been frustrated and suffocated ast a bunch of spoilt, pampered prima donnas - no wonder he lost his form he was sick to the back teeth of them - welcome to a genuine top class club at the beginning of a new era of domination!"
"I am that excited about Sturridge playing that if he fails I will make an effigy of Buddha from Papier-mache and take it to bed with me every night for the rest of my life. Now that's commitment."
"D.S had nothing to lose but everything to gain by joining the worlds best club. come on daniel make the most of this amazing opportunity. we are all behind you.YNWA"
"Think Sturridge gonna be sick he got skills can beat a man and got a wicked finish! Oh and probably fastest in the team now :D he loves to shoot almost as much as Suarez so expect us to be a lot more direct which is what we lacking. We create so many chances Daniel will surely score many also"
"Rumours that Fungusson is interested in making Snejder his new Scoles. Hope that Sturridge is not the best signing for us in this transfer window, we have been saying for ages now that this is the most important window for this club in a very long time , it's absolutely crucial. We need top quality asap, can't wait for summer!"
"I believe in there being the right player... at the right club... with the right manager... and the right fans... at exactly the right time. I believe Daniel Sturridge may very well be that Player.... I believe brendan Rodgers most definitely is that manager.... And WE are that club! Welcome home Daniel! COME ON YOU REDS! YNWA!!!"
"Welcome DS i have every confidence that you will help us on our journey, great young team to look forward to for the next lot of years is very exciting for us fans so thankyou FSG for getting BR to manage our great club. True reds will get behind u DS YNWA"
"Welcome daniel! you have made the right choice. Well done br for deciding to play him center and move luis out wide similar to ajax where he was free-scoring even more than here! Forget sneijder. Too old, too slow, another lazy player who when things get tuff will want out. Should be good for manure! "
"Well said Captain....agree with you, Stu has world class quality for Liverpool...it's about time to break the curse and move forward as one big happy family...YNWA"
"Lonewar agree mate. Loz we are not after oscars, unless they play like chelsea's. Would like Walcott but know he is only after most money, but he will play his heart out for who he signs for. arsenal damm it."
"OMG why are people worried about Chelski nd Ba, he may have cost 10-11M but who cares his wage apparently R 90k a week or more. I say let them have the greedy players, we need players that are hungry to play nd Ba is only hungry for more money we got the better deal if u ask me YNWA!!!! In Brendan Rodgers i trust!!!!"
"Buddah i agree sturridge is better than welbeck. if sturridge was given more of a chance at previous clubs he would have a much better record. YNWA!!!! In Brendan Rodgers i trust!!!!"
"Think [if for no other reason] DS should play at least 75/90m v Mansfield, watching his neu team mates play n' goin thru the paces at Melwood is ok
but game time is the best time"
"I liked the switch of SG n' JA with both benefitting, I believe it could be used again JA seemed to have come alive n' looked comfortable in that advanced role, SG, well, the understanding he has w' Luis is a blessing but playing in a Xabi role? Could that work?"
