"Great effort guys! Really encouraged by the way we're going toe-toe with these sides. But i'm sick of the negativity of these fickles fans on here, so frustrating. But Keep up the intensity over the next games "
"Our problem is consistency and defending. However great display, just hope its not a once off and that we can have a decent finish to the season as so far its been disapointing. Top 6 finish and Europa win would be great"
"top 6 finish would still be great. n also qualifying for europa. i just feel 4th spot is out of our reach now. we'd have to go on a massive winning run of games. who knows if we keep on giving the same level of performance as we did yesterday we might just..."
"nooooo.. dont say that, everytime someone say's we can get forth (or even second was mentioned a few weeks ago) we play bad and we loose our nest match, it's the kiss of death, but I am realy excited about our future, on sky yesterday the "experts" said Liverpool have arrived...."
"I hate that we constantly have idiots on here full of negativity. I'm just glad they don't go to the game, imagine Anfield full of this lot moaning & groaning for 90mins, we'd soon lose our tag as the best fans in the world. I'm fully behind our team & top 4 is possible YNWA"
"Excellent performance and BR is finally proving to the doubters that his ideas and tactics are the right ones. Its so encouraging to see LFC perform again and must be exciting for all fans to be part of the revolution which will see Liverpool back at the top or English and European football in the next few years."
"Its possible, Spurs , Arsenal and Everton can slip up, we just gotta put in performances as we did last week and for gods sake jeep Carra on. We need skillful, experience defending since Reina's slipping up! Keep the faith! "
"It's going to be tough to get 4th now, the only way is beating as many as the bottom teams as we can and then we MUST beat Spurs and Neverton. I think we blew it b4 Christmas against Aston villa if I'm honest, and then to throw away a 2 goal lead against are main rivals made it even more difficult, I think Arsenal might sneak it as they always do. YNWA"
"i hope y see the difference between realistic and negativ thinking eadie...i buy y a house if we finish 4 this season with a garden a pond and pool..."
"Top 4 will be a welcome change for sure! I just think we need to keep improving and start securing 3points in the rest of the games. Top 4 really depends on the outcome of the teams above us for the rest of the season. Soi say, just keep improving and lets strengthen the squad with some classy players in the next window, then we take back our role as football kings next season!!!"
"we will would to win all our remaining games to achieve that.lets take take it one game at a time.if we put in the same kind of perfomance as against City,then i don't see why we can't.Consistency is of atmost importance.keep believing"
"big ask to get 4th this season...its ok beating teams like Norwich etc but we need to take 3 pts off teams above us to close the gap...because at the moment teams above are cancelling us out all the time so we remain those 9 pts or so in front"
"Keep on fighting boys. We can only try and win majority of the remaining games and see what the other teams do. Well played today, keep playing like that and you never know. gooners had an awesome run to the finish last season. A good result in europa would be nice too.
YNWA!"
"No disrespect but please be serious, we've heard that media soundbite every other week this season. I'm sure I don't have to remind you that we still haven't beaten a top-ten side in the league this season. It will take a collapse of biblical proportions at Chelsea, Spurs, Everton and Arsenal for this to happen. I'm confident that we can go into next season with hope provided we can keep Suarez."
"It is do or die time lads.....and I am sure Spurs and that other club from Liverpool that says it is a big club (lol) will drop points.....LFC must ensure sill points are not thrown away....In BR I have hope..YNWA "
"Now have a good run in to the end of the season, all top teams at home so lets home our home form continues as it has the last few matches
cant drop any more points need to win more games "
"what the hell was Reina thinking?! It was a good goal, helped somewhat by the lack of a goal keeper in the goal! ANOTHER mistake has cost us 3 points against man city obviously didnt learn from earlier in the season!"
"13 games to go 10pts to 3rd. Hmmm im thinking can we do it? YES WE CAN. We are LIVERPOOL FC. Thats why! We can do any challenge. They all will drop points. If we dont im sure it will very close. And definitely next season. Go mighty reds!!!"
"Pleeeeeeease don't say that. I am happy to put this season down to a re-building process. Yesterday was our best performance under BR and we are very encouraged by that. Lets try and win the one trophy we still in- Europa League. Even if we get to the final and lose- this will definitely set the tone for next season. I still expect some more quality to come in the summer."
"Why not? 2005 in Istanbul to halftime, nobody believed we win.
Take as many points as possible and let's see what happens.
It will be difficult but nothing is impossible.
Walk on with hope in your heart! ! !"
"We have to keep believing - until it is mathematically impossible - certainly for me anyway. We are playing a lot better = we just need to get rid of the stupid mistakes or make amends when these mistakes do creep in. "
"Good to see everyone so happy today, amazing what one good display can do for everyone. 4th not impossible but very difficult. Take one game at a time and three points at a time and see where we end up. YNWA"
"Whilst its mathematically possible there are many teams who can "challenge" for TOP 4, being realistic TOP 6 is unlikely. Mor likely we will finish the season winning and qualifying for NOTHING. It's called "rebuilding" and "philosophy". And if you believe that, you will believe anything."
"i thought we ed seen the end of clown goalies at liverpool hope reina senior is right and other fella is off to barca wonder who the under 15 goalie isi bet he wouldnt have done wot soft lad did yesterday"
"We have a great chance of fourth thanks to our man Suarez. He has been outstanding and his skills around the penalty area must strike fear in any team he faces. Some of you are afraid they will fall by the wayside not this team there is plenty of talent and the desire to get back into the CL is obvious, come on you reds positive thinking."
"Good performance just a shame one of our most experienced threw the points away for us. Seems to be the norm V the bigger sides this season. I wish players would stop bleating on about 4th. So far this season we have lost every game after one of our players has anounced we can reach 4th. Learn to keep it shut and talk with your feet!!!!"
"Tottenham have two derby at home (Arsenal, Fulham) also Newcastle, Everton and City at home which I think these ll be tough for them, they also have Liverpool, West Ham, Swansea, Stoke, Wigan, Chelsea away. Nonetheless, Arsenal have more easier fixture..."
"i still think that fourth is possible as we have a good run in as they say we have tot eve and cheaksea at home win them and we will be right in the mix for 4th. keep up that levle of performance and we wont be far off. great game yesterday"
"Nothings Impossible as long as we maintain this level of performance and that is the Challenge. In fact all we want to see is this level of intensity and effort and our league position will take care of itself. One win at a time skip. YNWA"
"4th is a long shot but you have to have the ambition otherwise we are a mid table team.We need to try and win EVERY game to the end. I think all teams above us are vulnerable except Manchester clubs."
"For once I say well played ref. Nowt wrong with Dzeko, he had time to get up and join in the play, might even have prevented the goal. Hope this is a lesson to all the divers and fainters. Great goal though, well played Daniel Sturridge."
"We gave away 4 points through silly mistakes after being in front. In the earlier part of the season we would have taken the 2 draws against Arsenal and City away. It just shows you how far and how much progress has been made. This season is for building but the next season is for going right to the top.CONTD"
"In Daniel we have found a gem. Lets hope that Coutinho matches up to the promise. Downing and Hendo are like new signings. Pepe needs some decent competition otherwise can see more errors creeping in. Summer window will be interesting.CONTD"
"Anything is possible but I think unlikely we will move into the top four. It is my greatest wish this season having been disheartened by BR who chose the wrong team to play Oldham in the FA Cup. As for the likes of Rivelino...if you are happy with your lot you are easily satisfied. I get fed up with comments telling other fans they are fickle or whatever. Everyone is enled to their opinion. "
"I would love us to finish 4th - we need to start winning our games and hope that others around us drop points. I think our best 11 - played against Arsenal and Man City - keep the kidz off the pitch BR! YNWA"
"talking about 4th spot looks to me a bit early, it's true we have still three head-to-head games at home but it's as much as true we have still to play on really difficult turfs, matches against teams involved in the relegation as the saints, the latics and so on, then don't make predictable nothing, games have to be played...."
"Yeah We can .. Our Attacking side can finish 4th .. but with this Defending BLUNDERS we cant !!! everytime we tak e the lead and concedes a goal after some * defending howlers ... "
"ToBeHonest - we never settle for anything less than the best however saying dum stuff like "he got his team wrong" highlights the idiocy i'm talking about. The team he put out against oldham was good enough to beat them, they just did'nt show up. "
"If ManC who is also nine point away from ManU and is not willing to conceal the le, then does it make us a whip to give up on 4th Pos now? Come on Guys!"
"I keep having this recurring dream that we beat chelsea 3 times in 10 days - hope it comes true with a semi final home and away tie in the europa! Happy with a top 7 finish as long as we keep playing like we did yesterday. Come on you reds!!"
"RedRivelino You are? Not worth discussing it with you further jog on!
It never fails to amaze me how people think they know best when actually they know sweet fanny adams! "
"it will be difficult, extremley difficult. Play like yday from now to end of season then there may be a great chance. Prem is very unpredictable though and more or less everything needs to go our way and maximum points from nearly every game left is required. 9 points is a big gap. Lets say the dif btwn Spurs losing 3 and drawing 1 game and us winning all ours "
"I really dont understand people who, think its not possibe to be fourth this season. Do the math. Its 9 points only. We could be up there within 6 games if things go our way."
"We need a strong run. Simple as! 2007/8 season we won nearly every game, Utd would drop the odd points but held their nerve and sadly won the league #jammygits. Spurs I feel won't have the squad equiped to be so strong in every game, awful thing to say but could do with Bale getting injured. "
"I have always maintained that Liverpool needs a first class goalkeeper. If you will recall most of our games lost were due to poor goalkeeping and unwarranted mistakes. Brendan need a good goalkeeper. But yesterday's game was superb"
"Gotta keep believing..Will be very difficult to catch Spurs up, but we have to be encouraged by last weeks performances. Need to stop throwing leads away if we are to stand any chance..YNWA"
"We have to be realistic. I have no doubt that we will play at high standards and attain good results, but, we are then relying on Spurs/Arsenal/Chelsea to crumble and they won't. We have to look to next year when the team would be more settled and an addition of one or two of the quality of Sturridge will propel us to the heights we crave, cont.."
"The biggest sin in football is unrealistic notions as it creates disappointment and disenchantment. We must allow BR the room to create this team and he will undoubtedly make mistakes but he is showing there are no protected species in the squad and you will play on merit, cont.. "
"His handling of the misfits is exemplary and shows what astute management is all about. He is slowly building a team and becoming one heck of a manager. I have likened him to Shanks not because he will definitely bring the same level of success but we now have a principled, determined and innovative man at the helm, cont..."
"Like most people I was initially shocked at his appointment and was scratching my head why the board thought this young guy was the one to hire. But as soon as I heard him speak and studied his philosophy I then deduced we had a man to be proud of, cont... "
"Ask most rival supporters and they will tell you they feel we have a bright young manager and that he will do well. We witnessed yesterday what we are capable of and once we get the winning habit going we will be unstoppable. The red army is on the march and now the world better brace themselves. "
"When it comes to our left back situation, I think it would be worthwhile giving Wisdom a run there when Enrique is not available, as Johnson is half the player there than on the right and Wisdom needs to learn to play anywhere along the back like Carra did before taking up the central role."
"Looking on the bright side, things are looking good for next season should Luis stay and adding couple of players to the squad. As little as 3 weeks ago myself and i'm guessing countless others where expecting a few bleak seasons, before we could compete with the big4. "
"I even questionned whether it was a big gamble as BR hasn't got any experience or success to show, some of his signings where questionable and although we played good football at times, the stats don't lie, we were dreadful. Me personally hasn't got that patience to wait a few years on something that may never come to any success. "
"But I have been very impressed of late, the players seem hungry and enjoying our football. The buzz is back i feel, i haven't seen us dominate such strong quality sides like that for some time by LFC (particuraly away from home) 2007/08 apart- But I felt Rafa didn't have a model for continual success, whereas with BR I do..."
"We had just broke even with total 9 wins with 9 draws. Worried we will soon become mere draw specialists. Please don't throw away games we should have won to aculate points for any real chance to fight for the top 3rd/4th positions. Keep
'Play on' and win more games boys. YNWA!!"
"well said Buddha, as you know, I was the first to say he should be manager when KD was first appointed, and everyone laughed at me, I knew his methods, personality and dedication could create a dynasty for us! we have gradually got better througgh the season as BR promised we would, it is amazing what he has achieved in his first six months!"
"He said this season was about rebuilding, it would take 3 transfer windows to rotate the squad and strengthen it corredtly and balance out the finacnes, all of which he is on track to do, FSG being as good as their word in everything they do! "
"If any Fan cant see that now, the are simply being moronic, and are choosing not to see it! We have made great strides, hungry youngsters, performing experienced players leading by example and a rounded talented that will only be correctly added to in the summer."
"NO more are we the jokes of the transfer market, we will finish 5th or 6th this season, a massive improvement on last year, I would prefer us not to have european competition next season to focus on domestic affairs! But we will see.. SO proud of BR AND FSG and I Laugh at the stupidity/naivety and lack of knowledge of the doubters!"
"I feasr we might have left it until too late to climb up and we might be hitting top form, but as was the case last season, we will run out of games. However, I still beleive!"
"We have progressed but we have left ourselves too much to do to get fourth spot.
Le us go on a six match winning run in the remaining 13 games and then we assess where we are and then see if we can do it in the remaining seven games.
We cannot assume that because we are playing lower placed teams that the win is
Guaranteed, we should remember Villa at Anfield.
"
"Can we go unbeaten for the rest of the season?
If we play as we did yesterday then it's possible but we need to cut out the stupid mistakes. To all of those talking about Jamie Caragher retiring, he has been our best defender by a mile, and I'm pleased that BR has recognised that. I don't think that MS or DA have been at their best this season. ynwa. ynwa"
"yes its a possibility but i wish our players would stop talking the talk about these things and carry on walking the walk Stevie is not the only one who has come out with these things this saeason just focus on comming games keep playing as we are and the rewards will come. "
"4th is beyond our reach unless Spurs or Everton preferably both have a bad run, also Arsenal to contend with. We are not quite there yet, we need to concentrate fr the whole 95 minutes as silly mistakes have cost us 12 points already but we are getting there YNWA"
"Just go for it! We can all say we realistically probably won't achieve 4th spot but we have nothing to lose. In our current position we won't qualify for the Europa League never mind the Champions League. Our remaining fixtures are kind. We have played all the top 4 home and away except Chelsea and we have Everton and Tottenham at home - key games!"
"Really good to see so many more positive than negative comments on here. BR is an excellent manager and we will only improve, looking forward to seeing what Coutinho can add to the team. Good to see Jordan Henderson really showing what he is capable of, he looks so much more positive, it's like having a new player.
Good competition for places now in the squad.
YNWA "
"After poor results this last two games I didn't see liverpool in the top four. As good as we were the reality is we took two points out of a possible six. The match against the gunners was a must win as they are a spot above us. Our only hope of European football is winning the Europa league."
"Lonewar, you are indeed on record for backing BR. I at first thought that my good friend had taken leave of his senses but you have been proven right. Many fans and I won't mention who, were too quick to dismiss him because he was a rooky at this level or they were too heart broken over the KK departure, cont.."
"LONEWAR- And the lack of knowledge and doubting of a certain Mr Henderson? Thing that really bugs people on here are posters as yourself who come on and give it the 'im right, and you lot are stupid/naive'."
"I had many a forum fights with those who refused to look ahead and see that ushering in an innovative manager was essential for our growth. We are starting to see a chink of light and even those who were dubious will now concur that something remarkable is happening, cont..."
"Just be a little humble Lonewar. It is not, and never has been about proving people wrong/right. 2 days ago you were on here as the divine one claiming to be trying to 'unite the fans'- today these same fans are 'moronic'. Have a word hey."
"As ive said many times- far too many egos. I am over the moon that we are all starting to feel positive. But lets keep some reality on it F F S. Just glad we never got Rafa back....... :) "
"I never thought I would ever take to the misfits and now BR has worked a simple formula and I now don't groan when I see their names on the team sheet, lol. I watched Downing and saw a player who now tracks back, my God. And Hendo, although limited in skill, was a pest all game and never allowed them to settle, cont.."
"I am glad that some astute pundits are rightly holding Skrtel partially responsible for the goal as he clearly should have cleared the ball and he was urging Reina to come and collect the ball. Reina made some terrific stops and is still a world class goalie. I think some fans are upset with him as he seems like he wants to leave. "
"Problem with these pages is not so much the vast diverse opinion by many (that is great). It is people preaching as if they are of far more superior intellect and then giving themselves self praise after. Yes, show belief. But don't make hypocrites of yourselves condemming those who didn't or still don't support BR. "
"There are no groups of supporters with one view or back one manager and not another, yet there are a number on here who clearly think there is. We maybe happy one week dejected the next but we don't have an agenda or a camp and stubbornly stick by it even when it is clearly not right. It's all about what's best for LFC and not whether you are right or wrong. YNWA "
"Rushjob, its perfectly ok for anyone to say that they got it right as it would mean that LFC is benefiting. I have no problem in being proved wrong over the misfits as it will be good for us. So stop telling people how they should converse as many have tried to tell you and you rightly resisted. "
"Buddha. You are at it again. Causing tension amon-gst the site. I am not going to bite, maybe someone will? Give up wanting to know or caring to know why you do this... I'm out, sadly you and a couple of others ruin these pages. "
"If Sturridge comes good I will remind a few that I said he will turn out to be the signing of the season. I also earmarked Wisdom as a talent and have high hopes for Sama. All this is just banter and perfectly acceptable. Everyone should write how they feel and those who try and interfere are being exactly what they are accusing others of; know alls. "
"Ani, stop trying to be an arbiter as you don't have the credentials. You can't make up your mind whether you want to be an agitator or pacifist. You write long essays on your feelings on LFC which is your prerogative but then want to lecture others on how we should conduct our thoughts, unreal..."
"Let anyone say what they want without someone questioning the way its done. Its beyond hypocrisy to cry pomposity in others when the very act of censoring other opinions if it differs from yours is the height of ego and supercilious actions... "
"Remember everybody who told you that Sturridge will be the signing of the season! The same guy who wanted Rafa back and who slates Hendo (you know, the one that just got U21 Player of the year)! You really couldnt make it up. Ego a go-go."
"Rushjob, the difference is not only will I be happy to be proven wrong but I have shown umpteen times that I will give credit even to those I decried. Therein lies difference. Now lets hear you take back some of the insidious comments you made about BR and you bismirched Downing, lest you forget"
"eadie71,totally agree.They would sour fresh milk that lot.They are not interested in LFC when things are tough,only when things are going well...YNWA"
"I called BR a total rookie- he still is! I never likened him to Bill Shankly- and until he does something truly amazing, I wouldnt insult the great man TBF. Always said I backed him as it backs LFC. Unsure what Im being asked to take back?"
"Rushjob, I noticed with bemusement when you were taken to task very recently about having negative views and inconsistencies and you tried in vain to make excuses. You preach to others to be humble, then show humility now and not reduce a debate to tetchy exchanges with mindless innuendos as you know you are too sensitive for the rebuttal. "
"stevie im sure you and many of the team still believe we can get to 4th spot with our remaining fixtures. we need to win lots of those games which the team is well capable of doing. spurs and neverton have to be beat and we need 3pts against baggies. we can still do this redmen. YNWA"
"I said 6 weeks ago how much better Mr Downing was doing. And Ive also recently said that Allen will get full support- cos its actually what he needs! #perplexed."
"As I said, I see it as a strength to be able to re-assess and alter views and opinions accordingly. I have to do it daily in my job! No issues on that. BR has done it in his benching of Allen! Same applies- Its a strength. Stubborness isnt and probably undid KK!"
"Of course 4th is possible but we're relying on other teams and will have to beat Spurs and Everton at home, as well as winning all other home games and winning most remaining away games. It will be tough, but remember City were 9pts behind Utd with just 6 games left last season, and we're 9pts behind 4th now!"
"We are already challenging for fourth spot. Whether we `ll get it or not is a different matter. We all know that Stevie`s ambitious, which is great, but the players might be better off taking one game at a time and keeping a lid on expectations for the time being. There`s no point piling unnecessary pressure on tbemselves."
"Each to there own. And I took the bait- just cannot stand anybody that gloats. Not an adhering 'quality'. Tend to agree with Ani re these forums being spoilt by a few though #noneed "
"if you can continue to play to the present standard we can be optomistic,no further team changes let's get to know each other to perfection being familiar in play will improve our game, the last game was outstanding, you know how to play keep going"
"When i'm watching the game at the pub, at home or Anfield these pages are the furthest thing away from my mind. Once everything is over I tend to look at match reports, listen to pundits, look on social media and have a look at these pages. We have an array of people each offering differing opinions, some short, some long (inc me), some positive, some negative. "
"We can debate, talk about the good and bad things, there are a number of people I disagree with but that's no problem, we shall chew the and have a healthy debate. Sadly though this enjoyment can get tampered by an odd few who take great pleasue in stirring trouble, craving confrontation, bellitling those who disagree. "
"Im NOT a Gambling man BUT WE CAME Close..after them two performances v Gunners and City theres Nothing to say we cant improve onwards and Win the next few.all it takess a few others to lose and its not beyond the realms of possibility!!all we need is to believe work hard and go for it!! hope sturridge injuries just a niggle..glad hes not being used v Brazil!! go on the REDS!!! "
"Ani, you are laughable. You are now beyond arrogant in telling Rushjob to ignore anyone. Why don't you ignore everyone including yourself and just say what you want and move on. You are a ranter and way too emotional for a public forum. I suggest a lie down and you will see its not that deep, lol. "
"Being nasty towards players signed by a particular person and not giving them a chance yet preaching that we should be giving more support to BR's acquisitions. Telling us to have patience yet every article last season was telling people how deluded, naive, stupid we are to support that regime when we wer in-fact being patient. "
"These people I often wonder are they more concerned with being proved right. They hammer every article on a daily basis, it's as if as soon as the final whistle goes, their first thoughts are not to embrace a victory but to gloat. (That is not what being a supporter is about). These people sadly are our own fans who love to cause conflict, well so I believe."
"Buddha. I am not biting pal. Emotional, passionate is what makes a a supporter. I can live with that. You actually enjoy watching people lose their rag. You crave confrontation. I can confidentally say, people like me are more appreciated on this forum rather than a wind up merchant like you"
"Must go and listen to the live phone in and hear some REAL Experts on the Match!!lol;. keep smiling people,, we,re all LFC supporters...not Managers!!"
"Maybe we should forget all the speculation on other teams and just concentrate on our own. If we continue to play well, consitiently and maybe even improve i dont care what position we come this season. Obviously thats not enough for some on here but then winning the league wouldnt be either. If we win most of our games what happens elsewhere happens-its out ofour control."
"Ani, if you crave for acceptance on here than you are more pitiful than I thought. Brother, just opine and move on as no one is really listening. Its mild entertainment at best. I am sure in an alternate universe if there was a vote for forum president then you will win, lol..."
"I don't think we'll get CL this season but we should get some great results every so often, Buddha is being very realistic and is seeing things in their proper perspective, things are moving in the right direction, eggs must be broken to make omellettes, next season will be the time to really scrutinize, lets just enjoy the rest of this one, if we get CL it will be a surprise bonus."
"Budhha. Look how often I post. Look how long your posts are and take a look at your own house before accusing people who do teh same as you -Rant. Dif is, I don't preach and I rant only at you and perhaps Lonear and LDW a couple of times. "
"You mate, all about you. This forum is about you. You are the voice of reason. You are the one who passes judgement or give your approval. All about you. I bow to you sir. Anyway, time for a bifta and reflect on my failings and lack of respect for our leader. "
"And just a final word on the haters on here, if they put as much energy into supporting our team as they do being bitter about them we would all be much better off. The bitters live up the road and not at Anfield thats not our way. Use that energy to support the club not attack it, ok its not perfect-never will be but be constructive not destructive."
"To all this negative supporters I have only one question. What make's you think that Spurs, Everton and Arsenal won't drop any points till the rest of the season???? I thing the rest of our games are winnable and the way we played last night give me hope that we can do top 4 . Don't forget about Plillippe Coutinho he is realy good and will bring more to our team."
"Rushjob, I concur with you showing strength in being able to revisit a past opinion and change it but then don't penalise others who do the same as its called hypocrisy, which as you know is nauseating. And I said, I love being proven wrong as this bodes well for our club. "
"If we can crack the issues with defensive lapses and keep up the performances throughout the 90 minutes and do so consistantly then no dount we could do better, however to do so this season would require that to happen and others to slip up. No doubt I'm feeling more confident for the future though."
"centrecircle, its just Ani, he is having one of his turns, lol. He will no doubt become reasonable very shortly and agree that we all want the same thing and then at some point next week he will start his barrage again :) "
"Centrecircle- am cool. Just get really rattled by big headedness. There's no need for it- and it shows a real insecurity in people if they feel that they have to stroke their own ego's- cos nobody else is. The world still spins regardless......... "
"Kopite, are you really talking like this to an anonymous forumite, lol. You sound like your 12. You have no idea who I am, what I capable of and yet you talk nonsense about meeting in a pub, jeez. Not only do I say what I want, where I want in Liverpool, but there are a few who share my views. Grow up. "
"As for Hendo- been brilliant for a month, and long may that continue! You and Stevie G been superb and it's no coincidence that our performances improving coincide with the midfield 3 of Hendo, Gerro, and Lucas (getting fitter by the game too!). "
"Ref hendo, I am glad he is starting to perform, he was destroyed last season by being poorly deployed!!!!
And I love being proved wrong, it means I grow as a human, if Hendo does that over the coming seasons, it means we are a stronger club for it, which is all I want! So bring it on Henda and well done for your recent performances! Its a shame a few other fans cant find an ounce of humility!"
"Big headedness, is when one does something but decries others from doing so. As long as its banter and no more than bar room boasting then the very fact that people are being proved right or wrong pales into insignificance compared to the benefit of LFC from these varying positions. "
"Lonewar, its like some don't even recognise their own hypocrisy. I am still waiting for some to give the board credit for the buys this January. We have are slowly assembling a squad to compete and yet a few questioned their desire. I rather have an anonymous owner who acts with skill and dexterity than an all too visible one who loves publicity more than results. "
"Buddha. Serious parting word as I have got to go out. I called a peace pact and still adhere to it. Today I got annoyed and lost my cool. I can get emotional, I can be sensitive and I can write essays that may annoy people. But I mean no harm and don't come to these pages for conflict, rather than bite back at those who soul emphasis is to gloat or bellitle"
"All I say mate is think about the preaching and 'i told you so's' (as we don't know what will happen, also you have been proved wrong on many occasions. Try being more humble with people instead of belittling our opinions. We all have our faults, I recognise mine. "
"I plead with you to have a look at the way you atagonisie people. Nobody does it better. That's not something to be proud of in my eys, more so when it is your fellow supporters. Big Love "
"rushjob, why have you taken that so personally, I have been crucified on here for backing BR, I knew BRs character and Ideas before he came to LFC, so when people call him a Rookie, I laugh... He has been coaching at the highest level for 20 years?? and worked under the highest rated managers!"
"I wish people qould qualify there statements before they post, this is why I see them as moronic.... The make wild sweeping statements that have no justification and merit... I have maintained my opinion, all my thoughts are based on the right thing to do by tis club for footballing reasons... So if you looked past the surface of all of my comments you will know I am no hypocrite!"
"Ill echo ani's post about being humble Lonewar. That's all I'm saying. Glad you knew. I'm thinking of Brens 20 years coaching at the top, but perhaps one for another day. 6 numbers for Sat please Lonewar!"
"Its not my fault you or others cant see that, I have maintained one vision, one thought process thoughout! how can that be hypocritical ? My comments to day were aimed at mushroom scouser and belfast will for terrible posts and atudes on the forums.. why would you ever think I was talking about you?"
"Who qualifies what humble is? Anyone who does is not themselves being humble. Being humble is to allow anyone to speak and not admonish them for doing so. Lonewar simply said he he backed BR long before we did and instead of applauding that Rushjob had a go, lol, cont.."
"I am still optimistic we can make top four, if you look at the next ten games we are more than capable of winning AT LEAST 8 of them. If we play like we did today we might even win all ten. Great performance by the lads."
"and you are right rushjob, I could hhave a acted with a little more class! Was frustrated with comments saying how badly we played yesterday and how poor a coach BR is? Br has something unique, his passion (playing football) was taken away from him by injury at 21... Since then he has used that as a motivation to become an outstanding coach...."
"Not only should we be applauding Lonewar assessment but it bodes well for LFC that he is right?? Sometimes I think boredom can create havoc. I will be jumping up and down with joy with all the misfit lovers if they come good. And I would love for one of their lovers to tell me they told me so and I would laugh along with them, cont.."
"I am with you buddha, and again thank you for your kind words of support, I, as you do became frustrated at the nonesense directed to the club today and again we are the ones in the firing line....Madness really, I happy to call a truce!!"
"I am hoping that every LFC fan wants to be proven wrong or right as long as it benefits us. Reacting to a fan reminding us that they got it right is nonsensical, unless they themselves craves the credit. Lets allow all of us to input how we like and no more senseless critiquing ok"
"Ani, its all good. As you know I have been maintaining the cease fire and was taken aback by your unprovoked attack, lol. But the truce still holds. Peace. "
"It's a good run-in and beating spurs,everton and chelsea could be key. 4th is achievable and would be important as winning the Europa league to getting big players interested."
"Been reading a few of the last comments on here and I'm amazed at all the playground spats between you. Should it not be a discussion about whether we can challenge for 4th?#veryoddbehaviour. "
"Buddha, we are here clearly saying we were wrong about Hendo, (I always said SD could be become good if coached properly and I beleived Hendo needed to be loaned out for a fews year) Howover the only person to prove me wrong is BR, he has brought the best out of these two....Do people not like our acceptance at openly saying we were wrong lol...."
"Nobody is right or wrong yet. We will see at the end of the season, which fans were right about BR. The fact is our performances have been improving, but until the end of the season, we will not know for sure if we have improved on the season before."
"LDW, how dare you pour praise on Lonewar. You know he will only get a big head. I noticed you omitted praise to my comment at exactly the same as Lonewar, which is spooky, which basically said the same things. Great minds and all that. "
"to lpdcollier, well said, lets make an assesment at the season, I personally feel we wont get the full benefit of BRs ambitions until next season and he has had one more transfer window to rotate the sqaud a little! Also from being worth nothing... Hendo and SD now have a physical Value to adding to the assets of the club...Nice"
"Just watched John Barnes and Didi Hamann, their comments were spot on, Didi said that it was insulting as a player to be told 'You played well and should have won the match', he went on to conclude 'how can you say we should've won when we only walked away with 2 points from 6 over two games?'. At the end of the day the results never, never lie. Typical profound German mindset, winning thinking!"
"Didi Hamann says he fears we could become 'The nearly team', all these matches we should've won but didn't. how many times do 'also rans' play out of their skin against manu but can't win the match even when they are 2 goals up. lets get real the results tell us what we deserve, I'd rather play garbage if it got the points needed. "
"Hey Loz99, I agree with that completely, however, this season is a work in progress... WE will be better next season. this season is a transition... once the transfer window slams shut in august, the real new liverpool will stand up like a pheonix from the flames, and the burning red of our armour will lay waste to the league....."
"We have played very well in the last 2 games but we need 2 kill of teams when we r on top and i think if we carry on the way we r playing we will get close 2 the top 4 this season YNWA "
"The performance yesterday was fantastic, at times they couldn't live with us and we are still progressing. We were worthy of the 3pts it was just a pity that Reina made another error, maybe we need to look at the keeper situation in the summer. I don't think he's been at his best for 18mnths now."
"Gldnsky*, agree with u totally !! just home from work n reading some of the silly spats on here is ridiculous. Time to grow up lad,s n support your team. we all have an opinion n need to respect that even if u do not agree. BR doing gr8 job n team performing well.
Keep going mighty reds n good times will follow !!
YNWA JFT96"
"still possible to get fourth but that would be a long shot. we lost the race for fourth in the early part of the season while br was finding his feet. We are now playing the team of last season with sturridge in for ac. This just proves that we need stability "
"I thought this was for pool fans to discuss football and related topics, we got a preacher on here talking about himself every day puts me off coming on here."
"come on you reds. we have 3 games all winnable and taking 9pts from them will give us the confidence to take on spurs and win. no disrespect to swans wigan and baggies. now is the time to put mistakes behind us and push on and finish season the best we can. i believe still too many twists and turns to say it is beyond us. YNWA"
"As long as its still mathematically possible with lots of games left we still have to go out and play with the mentality that we can make 9 points up, means Spurs at the very least have to lose 3 games and we have to consistently produce a run of wins to apply pressure there are 3 teams ahead of us and they all have games they can lose but we need to go on a run and stop the sloppy mistakes"
"Can see where Stevie is coming from however our problem for too long now has been our inconsistency. On paper the games all appear winnable however the matches involving the teams nearer the foot of the league are always difficult with teams fighting to stay in the league, not this year IMO (4th), however always hoping, this is Liverpool Football Club after all!!"
"What other teams do is totally out of our control, all we can do is keep winning, if that gets us 5th or 6th because of other results so be it theres no more to be done-lets look forward to continuing improvement and next season"
"Lead from the front Stevie but it will take a miracle. We dropped 4 points against City and Arsenal beacuse we don't have a second left back after Enrique and all the right backs apart from Kelly aren't good enough if Johnson plays left. Arsenal just spent £10million+ on a left back. We do this (and on a proper right wing and a second gk) we might be able to compete."
"the most dissapointing thing is that we didnt beat arsenal n city we should have had six points but our pride is restored after oldham. im confident we can do it if we keep winning and beat spurs at home but i think the europa may have to be sacrificed and bring back the kids in coutinho and assaidi and others "
"I must say, we are in a much stronger position than it may seem. While we have a majority of easy games to finish of the season, Tottenham still have to play the likes of Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea and of course us Redmen. We have a real chance to gain points on them, I have a feeling this will go down to the final game..."
"if i talk honestly i feel that we gonna reach top 4th whoever is challanging with us, i feel we gonna do that we are on-form and have everything just poor defence and goalkeeper but our defensive were better than man city's and man utd's and arsenal's just tottenham has better than ours"
"I think the only way that will happen is if we are unbeaten winning atleast 10 of 13 its hard but the way we performed at the etihad is a good indication of us being a top 4 or even a higher contender next season."
"Let's stop talking about where we can finish and play every game like the last one at City, minus the mistakes. Every time Gerrard or someone else says "we can get 4th", we lose to weaker opposition. "
"i believe we can finish 2nd or 3rd this year the way we playing AWESOME and line-up i would like to make a line-up Hendo instead downing when Coutinho be a line-up "
"Next 2 games will decide that!! Next two games are against 8th and 9th placed teams at home. If we can't win those games in the situation where our hope of top 4 are hanging by a thread then we dont deserve to be in Top 4 - Not Yet #YNWA"
"We need 33 points out of 13 game to reach up to Top 4. This means 10 wins and three draws. If we win the next two, then 8 out of remaining 11 are against bottom half teams and rest three are HOME GAME!!! #YNWA"
"People who thinks we will be better next season are under illusion. Next season SG will be one year older and manager will be under pressure to give other players chances while our team heavily depends on him. So we will be under transition again!! Suarez will be lured for big money and CL football too."
"In the fans I see a group who hates handerson and the other one who loves him. I would like to tell haters that hando/shelvey/sterling are three brightest young players we have who has played considerably for LFC. All of them will get better. Contd.."
"Hando has excellent work rate and great passing but he to improve on consistency and power, Shelvey has powerful shots, Good physical presence but he has to improve on passing, work rate while sterling has good work rate and dribbling and he has to improve on shooting and physical presence. "
"Good we are thinking about top-4 but for now we need to concentrate on defensive play because last two match our offensive play way better than the slicky defense! YNWA BR n Co.."
"LOL! You lot are mugs. Buddha winds you lot up every day with his crap and you all for it time and time again. He's a right cnut and you lot are to dumb to see it. How's single life Buddha? LOL :) maybe if you weren't such a cnut all the time you wouldn't be such a single lonely loser desperate for attention on the internet :) LOL "
"As long as we finish above everton, i will be happy! I will get slated for this, but I don't mind the to winning the fa cup after their display of solidarity at the derby and because I have a lot of family who are blues (poor souls!). As far as big heads on this site, I think we can blame our success in the 70's and 80's for growing them, especially Buddha's, or should I say, Stewie Griffin!"
"Great Game, shame we didn't get the 3pts, superb execution, beautiful to watch. Well worth getting up at 5am NZ time to watch it all coming together.
YNWA"
"Looks like we are being done again with sensational headlines from the media about corruption and The Liverpool name splashed in bold all over the gutter press. We have not been implicated in any corruption but with the way the media splashes the headlines it seems as though we are guilty."
"On another note I have taken a lot of positives from the last two league games and am looking forward to next year. I think that this year was always about rebuilding although a Champions League place would be a bonus. Some of the posters on here do not have a clue on how BR is building for the future and not instant 1 hit sucess.We want to be top for years to come. "
"My worry is d way u ppl give away leads. Everton, ManC-both ways-, Arsenal. 4th won't come dat way. And u can't say we've seen d last of it. Don't 4ged dat d lower teams r d ones we struggle most against."
