Great to see Coutinho may get run out. Really disappointed Sturridge wasn't ready for this game, but I suppose that just shows what an impact he's had so far. Solid squad, good bench & Carra to fly the LFC flag again. YNWA - now lets get a good win.
"Great line-up! a pity not to see Borini or Coutinho from the start, but I hope that Shelvey will play a good game behind Luis Suarez as I guess he will be lined-up! For the rest I trust the team who drew against the gooners and the citizen! Best of luck for tonight game lads! Make your duty and do us proud! YNWA Reds"
"pity daniel is missing but jonjo gets a start. hope philippe comes on at some stage. skrtel to start thurs. good line-up so hope to be winning by half time and turn it on. come on redmen. 3-o i hope. (or more). lets show everyone who thinks 4th is dreaming. we can do this. YNWA & J4T96"
"C'mon Liverpool - glad Coutinho's not rushed in, would have preferred Borini to Shelvey, although Rodgers' sees them everyday so who am I to judge. YNWA"
"Yeah i understand not having sturridge in the squad with the knock and a hard away tie at zenit on thursday i would leave him for that, good team selection and bench :) maybe 5 mins for coutinho ? ;) 3-0 please lads!! Need it for fourth YNWA"
"Jonjo Shelvey is an exciting attacking player who just needs to move a little bit more off the ball and defend like Stevie Gerrard. If he combines as brilliantly with Suarez as he does with Sturridge, what options we have upfront! Good on Mr Rodgers for showing respect for Shelvey's current form."
"Come on lads. Hope we're cruising and Coutinho can get a run out. Good, solid performance tonight, tight at the back, and we can win this comfortably.
YNWA"
"No Sturrdge? I guess he must be injured. Hopefully that'll give Stevie the chance to attack more in this game. He's always at his best when he's a constant goal threat."
"Maybe Borini's form both on the pitch and the training field didnt convince Brendan enough to start him. This manager is a real deal, He is not afraid to bench his signings when they are under-performing, I think that's what we lacked with Kenny. Good luck guys. I pray we win. "
"Good luck lads. Key will be getting off Olsson and all will be good. This is a perfect set-up for Shelvey to make good runs effectively. If the lads can put a good run, I can see Shelvey and perhaps Suarez getting a goal each and 2-0 could be the final score. YNWA!"
"I would have liked to see Suarez in the middle and Sterling out wide instead of Shelvey as our CF, but I hope you prove me wrong today Jonjo lets go lads!! Go Shelvey!! "
"Not good enough so far the boys are really unsharp today, and BR has made too many changes to a winning team :-(
Come' on make it a better second half!"
"Time to unleash Coutiho for Shelvey. Although we controlled the game in that first half, we failed to create anything, apart from a couple of long range efforts"
"Dodgy first 5 mins, but dominated the rest of the 1st half - we are so missing Sturridge up front - Suarez has been brilliant as usual, but he's also missing the target man. Well played so far, but we really need the end product now - goals to come 2nd half?"
"How frustrating was that first half.. I would like the lads to be a bit quicker on the counter, a single long pass is not going to take any lives. I would also like to see Johnson pass the ball sooner an forward not be so obvious all the time, mix it up a bit. Also I would like to see a number 9. But most important MORE SPEED."
"i cant believe how the match ended, after all the effoort liverpool had many chances with no goal, westbrom with little chances and 2goals. very annoying and a real disappointment from the players"
"That's our Achilles heel, no striker to put the ball in the net - sadly Borini is no Sturridge - top 4 has gone today, top 6 is a push. Next season it is then..."

"2 WINS FOR WBA THIS SEASON! VERY CLEVER TO GET BRENDAN RODGERS WHILE WE HAD STEVE CLARKE, ALSO FORMER CHELSEA ASSISTANT... YOU KNOW NOW WHO IS BETTER!"
"i have been one of the supporters who have been banging on about us getting top 4 this year ha ha not a chance we play like this when we are supposed to be pushing on we are becoming a laughing stock we need at least 5 players in summer or mid table again absolute joke nothing else to say !!!!! "
"Wow what a stinker of a game. We deserve to loose and well done to ANOTHER VISITING GOALKEEPER for making us look like amateurs. Holy crap its the Mighty Swansea next...."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha There is no excuse for this. Poor poor poor. Every single player poor. Absolutely no positives. No fight again. Taking Henderson off poor decision. Well done west brom. Steve Clarke has done a cracking job against us. "
"Come on BR,
I am behind you, but we need to see progress.
That means 2 losses to WBA is not acceptable. This was the bench mark game from your first in charge! I hope you get 1 more season but it dont look good. Think players like Carrol would of made a difference tonight. "
"What is our plad B. Its great having all these lil skillfull players but sometimes brute straingth is needed.
Come on lads we wont get fourth but lets try and win our remaining games and finish on a high"
"No Diff. The team played badly. No penetration. Stevie G had a poor game, Johnson had an even worse game. Borini's form looks as poor as Allen's. It's hard to watch.....even the penalty wasn't a penalty....we got what we deserved tonight. The boys let BR down. "
