BR sorry to put shelvey in
is 100% your fault. we could se from
start it didnt work. and why borini
for henderson? what is that about.
4th is well and truly gone
"I suppose top 4 has gone today & top 6 is a push now. Just shows how much we miss a quality target man like Sturridge; no disrespect to Borini, but he's not the answer at the moment. So many shots on goal & so much possession, but no end product. Need Daniel back ASAP. Unlucky lads, played really well, but beaten by a smash-&-grab. Keep plugging away."
"Ahh brendan, brendan....you bring IN in last 30 minutes three unexperienced players struggled with form...poor managing today....I wonder Agger is going to bench now? because he unmarked goalscorer at least 7 times this season...its far more than Skrtel slipperies..."
"WOW well and truly P***ed of.. i dont get the change of henderson.. wont slate anyone else because they have been good for the past few games but BR come on...admit your fault here"
"I always try and stay positive after games like this but I just dont know what to say. How can a team have their first shot on goal in the 80th minute and win 2-0? Gutted"
"Ahh brendan, brendan....you bring IN in last 30 minutes three unexperienced players struggled with form...poor managing today....I wonder Agger is going to bench now? because he unmarked goalscorer at least 7 times this season...its far more than Skrtel slipperies..."
"Wow ! What the hell just happened ? All of the ball could not flippin cross the ball for love nor money...hopeful for a better second half...more of the same then 2 goals from nowhere ? What am I supposed to think of the commitment ? They clearly dont want it enough. "
"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. "
"Take sturridge out of the team and the lack of cutting edge becomes apparent. Too many of the same midfielders in the line up, never the less hats of to wba. the thought of cl was great but thats been put to bed now. roll on next season. ynwa"
"Absolutely disgraceful performance tonight... Whole team was very poor!! Enrique's final pass, delivery, crossing is horrible. Really need to look at themselves after that tonight."
"gutted, wished for a lot more. gerrard downing, hendo carra johnson all played solid well done to you lads....i dont know what shelvey enrique, borini are smoking but my god....that was terrible.
sturridge is out one game and we are dead -.-"
"Can anyone tell me where liverpool are eyeing the top four, think that would be in a dream, there is difference btw playing and scoring. we were still the better side, but where is the winning team, i am really boiling and angry, nothing has crowned their effort of play tonight.
Inconsistency always grow out of it guys please. YNWA"
"Now this has become a pattern. Liverpool can never win a match against a former employee. Steve Clarke just proved my usual argument on the same. 4th place now gone till next season."
"That was hopeless Brendan. Our players were asleep for the first 20 mins and hardly looked like they had had the hairdryer at half time. Enrique didn't take the full back on once for 90 mins. What's going on? Sort it out. "
"WHY DID THE TEXT COMMENTARY SAY 3-0,, IS HE AS USELESS AS THE TEAM.?? WHAT A JOKE,,4TH SPOT, WE'LL BE LUCKY TO GET 8TH,,,WHY DON'T WE HAVE A PLAYER WITH SOME BACK BONE IN MIDFIELD, LIKE A SOUNESS,, SOMEONE WHO WILL FIGHT FOR A WIN, INSTEAD OF THE SOFT NAMBY PAMBIES WE HAVE. DISGRACEFUL."
"Another unforgiveable night. Rodgers, how are we going forward. Last season we had more points and was still in 2 cups, 1 of which we won. You are sending us backwards fast. Please off back to Swansea and let a decent manager work their magic here. You are out of your depth."
"WELL DONE BRENDAN!! YOU ARE SO PREDICTABLE WITH NO PLAN B. STEVE CLARK IS WAY BETTER THAN YOU. PLEASE DON'T COMPLAIN ON PLAYERS KOS YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING."
"Absolutely shocking! Dark day, and I'm sick of having them. Great performances and then for some reason we just can't do it again. Oldham, villa, west brom. Talk about making life difficult for yourselves. Roll on next season! "
"Bye bye Suarez! That's one of the worst performances I've ever seen Fromm Liverpool. Enrique awful, agger awful, Johnson awful, hendo played well but got taken off! If stevie had scored that pen we would of won. Suarez will leave in the summer and we'll be just another mid table team...oh wait a minute we already are!"
"I kept giving BR the benefit of the doubt and he keeps proving over and over again he is way out of his depth. If we do not finish top 6 this season he has to go. We have no creativity, most of our chances were shots from outside the box. This formation does not work and worst of all, he keeps playing players out of position to accommodate others. Hendo should never of been out on the left."
"shocked and gutted! How is it possible lose a game in that way? We dominated at all, created plenty of chances to score and netted neither a goal! another flaw at the back on a set place, I am dishearthened! we played without hearth and commitment, ..."
"What the hell happened there. Kiss goodbye to Europe next season. WBA doing the double on us, how far have we sank and this coupled with man utd getting stronger. I can't take much more....."
"shocked and gutted! How is it possible lose a game in that way? We dominated at all, created plenty of chances to score and netted neither a goal! another flaw at the back on a set place, I am dishearthened! we played without hearth and commitment, ..."
"And that's why bye bye Carra. Watch others follow.......more envelopes needed by the manager. We'll play the Swansea way.....I don't think so!!!! Not enough passion"
"I have always supported you brendan but today enough!!!! If I was FSG that would have been your last match in charge of LFC.. it was pathetic!!!! You dont put players who players 90 mins on wednesday when u have wisdom and coutinho on the bench!!!
"
"shocked and gutted! How is it possible lose a game in that way? We dominated at all, created plenty of chances to score and netted neither a goal! another flaw at the back on a set place, I am dishearthened! we played without hearth and commitment, ..."
"Absolutely St!!! Never seen them play with so little interest or energy. Foster made some good saves but Really! Losing to WBA, humiliation. Taxi for Rodgers he's run out of ideas!!"
"disgusting performance, always said it we will not win anything with rogers in charge. anyone who thinks giving time will work is a fool, jose mourinho would be perfect for us, winning manager who has done it before to take us back to where we belong at the top"
"Absolutely St!!! Never seen them play with so little interest or energy. Foster made some good saves but Really! Losing to WBA, humiliation. Taxi for Rodgers he's run out of ideas!!"
"The manager bears ultimate responsibility for the team - I wonder if he is big enough to accept he got his team selection wrong again. Or indeed if he is big enough for our club full stop. Sick of hearing his post match excuses. Winning is what matters not stats on passes completed.
"
"Typical Liverpool. Play well against a top team, and then assume we'll walk all over the so called little teams. No consistency = no champions league."
"Absolutely St!!! Never seen them play with so little interest or energy. Foster made some good saves but Really! Losing to WBA, humiliation. Taxi for Rodgers he's run out of ideas!!"
"take sturridge out of team and the lack of cutting edge becomes apparent. too many of the same midfielders in the line up, saying that hats off to wba. cl thoughts were great but thats been put to bed now. roll on next season. ynwa"
"Absolutely St!!! Never seen them play with so little interest or energy. Foster made some good saves but Really! Losing to WBA, humiliation. Taxi for Rodgers he's run out of ideas!!"
"Well done west brom, took your chances. Can't argue with that. Poor poor performance by every player and bad subs by Rodgers. No positives. Downing only one with any credibility out of this game. Don't let them rest take everyone to zenit. The fans deserve better. "
"shocked and gutted! How is it possible lose a game in that way? We dominated at all, created plenty of chances to score and netted neither a goal! another flaw at the back on a set place, I am dishearthened! we played without hearth and commitment, ..."
"... we did not put the body on the line, the lads let me the sensation they did not want to win! Disgusted! Closed the question 4th spot, another year wasted! YNWA"
"Utter rubbish, Borini is terrible and so were the tactics! shelvy is simply not good enough either, we cant just keep giving these players chances, if they are not good enough, they are not good enough!"
"A set piece and a quick counter, very hard done by. Hate to point fingers but Agger at fault for both goals. Just need to pick ourselves up now. Have to say well done to Foster for a great performance."
"We were tactically outplayed by West Brom..Clarke had a good game plan and he executed it..i am sorry to say that BR is not tactically sound. Let us get a coach that understands the game. Good nite."
"we made a really big step in direction top four!!! What a poor game, Brendon, what a team today...I'm sure we ll play champions league again, but not the next season."
"How many times have we seen this? The players cant handle the pressure.. why cant they show some bottle and score late goals instead of conceding them. Rodgers is right, not enough strong characters in this team."
"Dear oh dear, West Brom beating us again, i thought after the performances agisnt Arsenal and Man City we were on the way up and games we should have won, tonight we looked like a Sunday league team, no disrespect to the Sunday league teams"
"so very dissappointed. i love LFC but am already looking forward to summertime as some of our players are simply not good enough. another game we should have won but missed D.S. plenty of chances but didnt take them. just praying we can do something in europa cup."
"How the hell did that happen ? I have to say BR got his subs wrong. Henderson should have stayed on and Sterling should have come on for Shelvey. What a mess, now can we stop talking about top four please !"
"not impressed at all by our two full-backs. Both could not pass and cross. And clearly, we now miss Sturridge in front whose positioning inside the box is the best."
"What has happened to Suarez ? His only idea before was to go for goal now he can't wait to get rid of the ball in the box!! Appalling play tonight, by the whole team "
"Rogers again gets it wrong. Shelvey was awful, how did he not get hauled off at half time. Henderson been impressive and in form and so we take him off for out of form, not fully fit, one goal Borini who makes us change the way we play. Shocking. Top four is a dream for us. 29 points off man u. Utter joke. City and Arsenal games mean nothing now"
"looked like the players just expected 2 win without putting in the effort. the hardwork we saw against arsenal n man city was missing. why borini? was so ineffective again. mistakes from agger resulted in the goals, wasted so many corners. no change in atude in the 2nd half 2, BR needs 2 improve his motivational skills"
"Terrible performance and a cruel wake up call for all at the club for amount of work still needed. 2 good games against Arsenal and City but a pathetic performance at home to baggies. Unacceptable for LFC."
"when i saw the team sheet i knew we would lose!!! lucas, shelvey, downing, henderson, allen, borini are not good enough for liverpool we need better player or we will never see champions league again "
"WOW well and truly P***ed of.. i dont get the change of henderson.. wont slate anyone else because they have been good for the past few games but BR come on...admit your fault here"
""Seeing is really Believing"! An all round poor performance from the whole team. Learn consistency from the likes of Man Utd. Reality is, we are currently 9th on the league table."
"BR prove is not suitable manager.... He will destroy LFC... Enough.. Enough... He is not a good tactical manager.. Y didnt start with sterling, couthinho ? "
"very very poor we just didnt turn up a big shake up needed even our big guns were sh**e dont know what the rest of the season holds now top 4 no chance"
"how boring was that game liverpool going backwards all that possesion and nothing again yet again cant beat anyone in the top 10 and west brom !!!!!! above us in the table not good enough for lfc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Bunch of idiots suarez should leave them.hopeless team.cant believe what i have seen.johnson passing error all the game.enrique trying to hold the ball.gerrard dont know what he was doing.agger should spend time on the bench always looses his marker.and for our manager bad decision bringing on sterling and borini.finaly good bye to 4th place and welcome bankrupcy"
"No tactics from a clueless manager - sorry but this was woeful. I have never seen the kop empty out like that!! where we go from here I do not know? we have swansea next and I would think top 4 dream is over !!!"
"Shocking! We should have had Steve Clarke as our manager.. Sick of this trying to play pretty football, it doesn't work! Just look at Arsenal, and they're sick at it."
"TOTALLY DIABOLICAL PERFORMANCE. NOTHING HAS CHANGED FROM LAST SEASON. WE RAISE OUR GAME AGAINST BIG TEAMS AND ARE TOTALLY HOPELESS AGAINST LESSER TEAMS. NICE TEAM SELECTION BOSS. STICK HENDO ON LW WHEN HES FINALLY STARTIN TO LOOK A DECENT PLAYER. WAS SIMPLE STERLING FOR STURRIDGE BUT YET ANOTHER FAILURE FROM YOU AS MANAGER OF WHAT NOW IS THE 6TH SEASON OF MEDIOCRITY IN A ROW. "
"What an absolute joke. total shambles as per usual. when are you, the players, going to stand up and be counted and actually start producing. Stunned? I'm not stunned, this is exactly the sort of rubbish I expect every game. Wish the crowd had stayed and booed you off, you should have to go around the ground getting booed. Disgrace"
"What are you thinking BR ? the last 3 and now 4 games Sterling has been under performing while Henderson has been brilliant ?? and why not Borini from start and bring shelvey on later when borini gets tired ?
Amusing that Steve Clarke is the manager of West brom aswell. Right back at ya FSG "
"What an absolute joke. total shambles as per usual. when are you, the players, going to stand up and be counted and actually start producing. Stunned? I'm not stunned, this is exactly the sort of rubbish I expect every game. Wish the crowd had stayed and booed you off, you should have to go around the ground getting booed. Disgrace"
"Disgracefull!! You should all be ashamed of yourselves. They took 6 points and five goals against us and lets not forget that they haven't won a prem match since boxing day. What's your next excuse now Brendon? 1 step forward and another three steps back. Please show us some respect.We pay lots of money to come and watch you and this is what we get in return. "
"Roy Hidgeson,Kenny Dalglish and now BR they all did it-loosing to smaller teams at Home.
When players like Drowning & Henderson are allowed to talk about progress of a team that team clearly is in danger. We didn't wait long to see the mistake of BR playing Carra ahead of Skrtel.And also what are all these inferior English players doing in a team like LP ?"
"Having just watched that rubbish im stunned & shocked. No atmosphere in the ground not 1 player put a shift in. dont thnk johnson passed to 1 player in red. AWFUL !!!!"
"Typical scenario
- s...y passing
- same stupid team with Shelvey, Downing and Henderson
- heroic goalkeeper on other side
- cannot score even from the penalty
- Suarez and Gerrard look tired after resting for more than a week!
- another Reina mistake
What a load of rubbish
"
"Cont just hope my sons 1st game at anfield on 21st sees us progress in europe. expect plenty of people will be blaming brendan but players are at fault. they dont seem to realise what wearing the red shirt means. hope philippe plays on thurs. time for agger to have rest and cant wait for kelly to be fit. gutted but still have faith LFC will come good. just not this season. YNWA forever"
"That was embarrassing: This team does not know how to beat weaker sides any more. We seem to be the weaker side now. Teams are no longer afraid to come to anfield. I've been a supporter my whole life but some days it's really hard to be supportive. Well, no champions league this year either. Too bad."
"Total and utter rubbish. Nothing stunning about it. Totally useless from our so called stars. Luis, I love you but you may as well leave as with this lot you will never get champions league"
"Not good enough. We need to find consistency if we are ever to challenge for the top 4, which doesn't appear to be this year. Now we need to put all our hopes on the Europa League to give Carra a good send-off. YNWA "
"Rubbish. Getting fed up with this. This time last year, we are in the League Cup Final, in the 5th Rd of the FA cup and better off in the league. Can someone plz explain to me why we sacked Kenny? "
"9 wins out of 26 games played is not progression. We seem to save our best performances for the better teams in the league and still fail to win them. Borini is a waste of space, if only BR were to target players early on that would improve us, we would not be in this predicament. We lack creativity, we also need a forward who can actually hold up the ball to bring others into the game. "
"For a team that is supposed to be renowned for its passing style, we certainly managed to kick the ball into opposition players a fair few times. It's like Shelvey and Johnson forgot how to pass the ball entirely. "
"This type of garbage football says it all, LFC a mid table team. Forget about 4th place, we are not good enough even to win at home against poor opposition. "
"For a team that is supposed to be renowned for its passing style, we certainly managed to kick the ball into opposition players a fair few times. It's like Shelvey and Johnson forgot how to pass the ball entirely. "
"Poor display by the full backs. Coutinho should have been in to replace Shelvy in the first place, in a role that Daniel occupies. Let's just hope for a top four next season. Pls forget about fourth this season."
"Well im not going to say BR out n so on because he can be the right man( seeing as he doesnt start shelvey anymore) haha XD but on a serious note we were horrible, absoloutly dreadful, no passion or anything and borini why not use your left foot to get the ball in the net ? And well i havent seen a weaker gerrard penalty, no conviction at all and our record against swansea.. Yikes! YNWA"
"some players need to stop talking about getting 4th place, until we earn the right to challenge for it. getting beat by rubbish like WBA is rediculous. "
"Enough is enough; Rogers and FSG need to go now! We've gone backwards from last season, squad is weaker and play is worse. Too many championship players in team let alone squad."
"That settles it! No Champions League next season, og properly no Suarez.. and you can't blame him! He deserves to play against the best in the world!"
"The table doesnt lie.we are mid-table mediocrity. get rafa back.no point playing well and not winning.it is points that win you honours, not plaudits. this job is too big for BR and Pascoe and we need serious investment at the back and in goal.gutted"
"what a load of rubbish cant defend cant score cant convert a pen how embarasing top 4 my ar** what did borini do after coming on? why does cara travel into opposition half when he cant get back poor poor poor."
"Not a lot to say.... I guess the critics of my comments will be complaining. For the record Liverpool are not even in the shadow of Man Utd. Rogers and the Owners have not got it right. I am utterly dismayed at the failings of the team this evening! "
"Post internationals syndrome. Dreadfully poor game played by LFC. Full backs both poor loosing the ball too many times. No pace in the game until the last 2mins of extra time. For me the only consistent players were Lucas(MOTM) and Carra. One game to forget since it's 45yrs since WBA done the double over LFC. "
"This could quite possible be the worst reign of any Liverpool boss since Souness. Fans on here that bang on about KK are delusional if they think BR has don't a better job than he did. KK reign was a masterclass compared to BR thus far. That's coming from a fan who also though KK made huge mistakes, but our team were a better unit then than now. Under BR we seem to be a team of bottlers. "
"What a joke of a team this is every time need a win they bottle it. Bar downing n Lucas they should all be ashamed of themselves. We r not going 2get anywhere near champions league with this squad. And bar sturridge Brendons signings have been crap so I have serious doubts about him as a manager."
"Let us now think about next season and a team free from Drowning,Henderson,Sterling,Norini,Shelvey .It is great Carragher announced his retirement.We all know that no team in the top 4 would want to include Jhonson in their team.
And BR please goooo! For all the 1000 pages presentation you made you brought nothing special .we are the only team in the top half that lost to Villa at home."
"Please,let someone help me beg this guy to play 4-4-2..whosoever has his number or email should pls help me tell him to try 4-4-2 out..This is becoming embarrassing..sometimes, it is hard to believe this club really wants to succeed!Gud nite for the second time"
"Poor display by the fullbacks. Wrong decision to bring in borini. Coutinho should have replaced shelvy in a role that Daniel occupies. Downing should have played on. Let's hope for a better next season. Pls forget about fourth this season and don't ever talk about it anymore. Shh..."
"Easily the most disappointing result of the season, all the possession, loads of chances and concede two late goals. Its a setback but we will recover. We are a season away from being a top flight team."
"'Seeing is believing' please! we wont see 4th, nor Suarez next season, nor Glen Johnson hopefully. Stuffed twice by West Brom is a disgrace...whose coach used to be ours!!! Our team has become a laughing stock."
"How do we manage to shoot ourselves in the foot at home everytime. All talk, no creativity and defensive frailty. Hope the players get some rest, Europa League awaits. C'mon lads,you CAN do better than this!!"
"Shocking night. Words fail me, but lethargic, lacking passion, lacking concentration, inept, all spring to mind. Apart from Reina (who had nothing to do) and Lucas,all others should hold their hands up and say SORRY. WHY, why, why??? Sturridge now seems more valuable than ever. Or is it that MNS games dont suit us. Dont give me excuses, there aren't any. Where are we going ? Sad night for LFC"
"We were crying out for a player like Andy Carroll who could change the game, instead we got Borini who (injury absence accepted) has yet to prove he is good enough."
"Johnson crap tonight
Enrique hesitant
Just because Carra is retiring we do not need to get relegated before he leaves, since when is he fit to play a full match
Shooting at goal directed to the moon
Poor supporters and poor poor great LFC"
"It was a big shame, and a big blow on liverpool for playing an elephant andhaving 6goals on target and no goal, not getting anything from the match compare to westbrom that had 3goals on target and scores 2. very disappointing game and night"
"This is really 'Seeing is Believing' anyway BR killed the game with his stupid changes, what its raheem sterling looking for ? he was just running around the field, hendo was in the game and i think we need the real coach that understand the game not low key coach good night"
"In a word USELESS. This kind of performance is indicative of extremely poor mental atude and preparation. There is plenty of deadwood that LFC need to shed before they ever take the liberty of talking top 4 again! Totally on top of a team with the worst current form in PL (19 shots to zip) until 80 min mark and lose 0-2. That says it all really. Redmen forever but seriously, lift your game :("

"Rodgers lacks experience, He can't read the game, tonight he made a big mistake when he took Hendo off and brought useless Starling. Liverpool Should sell Borini, Sterling, Downing and send Shelvey to another premier league side to gain more experience. "
"What the f**cking hell was that tonight we were crap no 1 was up 4 it.WE did not start the game right we were 2 slow is pressing the ball and we passed the ball like a sunday pub team "
"Disappointing result, we fell for the old rope a dope. Wba and steve clark got their tactics spot on. We have to look at our subs and wonder why we put them on as this was what steve clark was waiting for and changed the game i their favor. "
"What was that??? Borini n shelvey should never pull on the shirt again!! Totally useless! Johnson & Enrique never turned up. We Gave the ball away more in this game thane the whole of the season put together. Missed sturridge so much! C Rodgers that's what quality does to team. Stop buying borinis & allens!!!!"
" is this!One step forward, two back, one forward two back.DAMMMIT!This whole team needs to be GONE.Johnson terrible today.Gerrard, nothing.Suarez, nothing.Always up for the big games this team but stoke, brom can tear us apart.Rodgers mistakes too.Just lkeave hendo for gawds sake.At least he runs and tracks unlike borini and sterling"
"Stevie G. and Glenn Johnson looked tired after their stint with England and it showed with their shoddy pssing. However the rest of the team all looked lethargic so I don't know what their excuse was. Shelvey played well but had little support, so I don't know why he was subsuted. A lethargic unimaginitive display. Goodbye any chance of 4th place."
" is this!One step forward, two back, one forward two back.DAMMMIT!This whole team needs to be GONE.Johnson terrible today.Gerrard, nothing.Suarez, nothing.Always up for the big games this team but stoke, brom can tear us apart.Rodgers mistakes too.Just lkeave hendo for gawds sake.At least he runs and tracks unlike borini and sterling"
"Was'nt to sure about the team line up. Why was skertel on the bench and sterling why is it that we always slip up. We can't afford to play a weakened team just because we have 3 games in a week. I love Liverpool fc but im losing faith in Brendan Rodgers and I still think we should of kept king Kenny."
"In betting better listen to your head rather than your heart...like some have said it was predictable, happen so many times and that must stop, i think there be no more talks about us reaching top 4 in interviews now..so sad we lost even though i won some money"
"One of the worst performances I have ever seen. We were slow from the first minute. Even Rodgers can't say we were magnificent tonight because we were dreadful."
"OMG!! Not again..how do we do that? Weak team put out in first half..too late to try and fix it..Shows we defo need two stikers up front...its like performances BEFORE Sturrige landed..still cant believe that!! it a long way home!;-("
"After hearing you on Sky I'm convinced you're out of your depth BR. Our team was absolutely shocking and you find they were "terrific". Enrique,Agger,Johnson & Shelvey were poor. Suarez had his worst game for us."
"Can we now have an end to the top 4 talk. This season was always going to be a tough one. Next season will be the true test of where we are at. The most worrying thing is we have still to beat a top ten team this year that's just not good enough. "
"Not good enough. We need consistency if we are ever to challenge for the top 4, which appears unlikely this season. Need Dan back soon. Hopefully he'll be fit for Zenit, because the Europa League is what we need to concentrate on to send off Carra with a trophy."
"What was that?? Borini & shelvey should never pull on the shirt again, absolutely useless!!! Johnson & Enrique didn't turn up!! Missed sturridge so much. C Rodgers that's what quality brings you, stop buying borinis and allens! Awfull passing awfull finishing!!!"
"Very poor Liverpool performance, most of the players were rubbish like Agger, Johnson, Gerrard, Lucas, Enrique and disastrous Shelvey and so on, sometimes you wonder if most of our players had glue stuck in their boots, maybe in the future we here that the FA or UEFA are investigating this game!!!!"
"Goodbye Top-4, Top-5, Top-6, Top-7, Top-8, Top-9. Are we about to go on a similar end-of-season run as last year. BR has a major morale and concentration problem in the squad especially in those lesser matches which seem to be taken for granted. Rubbish stuff to-night. Absolutely appalling."
"There were some fans saying easy 3 points no dis respect to west brom???? Stop cursing the team with yer crazy talk we shud have won but 2 o flattered brom disappointing "
"I don't even know how to sleep in the nights like this. Shame on you BR.
What ever philosophy you're preaching is not working.you talked too much about passing football and look who you play in the team.Since when Drowning, Carragher & Henderson became players for passing footbll? And let Sterling out on loan & see if he can mature."
"after 2 great performance agains City and Arsenal you wonder if the playing playing changed its name from Liverpool to with much respect to Barnet or Crawley"
"Shocking performance. Enrique and Johnson terrible reina shouldn't have come 4 corner Gerrard should have smashed it down the Middle Suárez too greedy and sell borini cos hes woeful only reason i'm not swearing is because i want the post to stay up. "
"90 mins of rubbish. Fullbacks were awful. Right to bring on Sterling for Shelvey. We needed a striker; just not Borini. Best player/only attacking threat: Downing..taken off to give Coutinho a debut. Woeful decision. First time I've turned a game off in 35 years watching LFC; wanted to smash the tv.
To paraphrase away fans, 'where's the famous atmosphere?'. Anfield was like a morgue.
"
"What bad luck we seem to be having. Need to learn to win when you play well, then win when you play bad then you can win trophies. WBA have the second part down. 24 shots to 4!"
"Useless. Rodgers? Out of his depth! Midfield? Spineless, clueless, useless. Lucas, Hendo, Shelvy are too much the same player. Suarez having to come into midfield to do ALL there jobs! Bad night for us..."
"brendan commit men earlier not when youve lost. Also why buy a great dribbling att mid then play the completely ineffectual baldy Who lost theball more times than i care to receber. Thank God i have a beautiful wife to take my mind off what i Just saw"
"Useless. Rodgers? Out of his depth! Midfield? Spineless, clueless, useless. Lucas, Hendo, Shelvy are too much the same player. Suarez having to come into midfield to do ALL there jobs! Bad night for us..."
"This simply not good enough!i'm sick and tired of all the lame excuses that come out of the manager and players mouths!for a whole team to underperform like we did tonight is an absolute disgrace the whole squad should be ashamed of themselves!!!my patience with my once beloved team is wearing wearily thin!"
"Top 4 r u kidding. Top 6 is remote. The drop in performance from Arsenal and MC games is worrying and I'm not sure BR is the man to revive our fortunes. Sell Suarez and start rebuilding with a new manager. Not acceptable and no improvement frm last season."
"Pathetic proformance! Why why why can't we win when we need to, when there is pressure on us to win we can't do it, that game was just like last season. Enrique was shocking tonight, Downing was MOTM by a mile but got took off with 10 min to go. I can't see this team getting top 4 next season never mine this. Major changes in the summer. Loan out the kids get some game winners in"
"I seriously don't care if I would be banned from this website after my post. However, I would like to express my huge disappointment after this game where our beloved team was quite unlucky and eventually lost a game which dominated. I would also like to take the opportunity to address the so-called Anfield-faithful..."
"think a certain player may be made a scapegoat after tonight although too many high paid players didn't turn up also not much support in the ground again i noticed the 12th man needs to turn up too hope they all turn up thursday night YNWA"
"Lightweight players wont take us anywhere Brendan you need to wake up, you cant win games on paper.We need Mulambu type players who are very good physically and on the ball."
"Every time Downing opens his mouth before a game we lose that game. Why cant he shut up play football? Why do players take a piece with our feelings?
"
"...the so-called "best crowd in the world" which again went missing. So, all you season ticket holders, petty little miserable souls, who obviously lack any reason and have pumped expectations, go and in support another club! Sell your tickets to someone who will actually support the team throughout the whole game! Not only when we are winning!"
"No fight in the team... LS again without a partner... No top 4... No win over top 10 team... Not good enough...BR get a grip and stop saying great team effort when highly paid professionals don't do their jobs... Weak team mentality...No winner mentality... "
"Same old story as last season. LFC had develop as habit of losing the game the longer they fail to score. Lesser teams use this to their advantage by packing their defence and counterattack. Without Sturridge, that is the best tactic and formation he could deploy. 69% possession said it all. The players on the field fail to live up especially on the final third."
"Time to go BR. Take Borini and Allen with you. Being rolled over by Villa and WBrom at Anfield is the last straw for me. Swansea r fancying their chances. Some fortress you've turned Anfield into. Get out or grow a pair. "
"Dear Mr.Rodgers,
why on earth did you start with shelvey?
why on earth did you bring on borini?
what on earth do you see in enrique?
why on earth did you purchase assaidi if you was never going to give him a chance? he deserves a chance if the lame shelvey gets in.
please be honest in your responses."
"Absolutely unbelievable. Still without a win against top 10 opposition. Forget CL, we'll be lucky to qualify for Europa. I don't care how well or bad they played, it's the points that count. I can hear BR now, "We're bitterly disappointed....I thought the players were tremendous in their efforts..." Blah blah blah. Time for results Brendan. KK not looking so bad now is he FSG? "
"get skrtel back into central defence next game at least he can head the ball tonight was like KD last season in fact it was his team BR has spent 50m and only sturridge to show for it,AAAAAAGGGHHHH"
"But NO, all you do is sit in your seats and keep quiet, while the opposition gains more and more confidence. You are the ones to make sure the opponent is so unsettled that every attack is a goal-scoring opportunity. Yet, you are a bunch of pretentious quiet s who can support only a winning team. Get yourself a life and go support Manure! I am ashamed of you!"
"Can you have a bit of compassion on the people who travelled long distances and at great cost ( in this day and age ) who had to watch that utter rubbish that was played by Liverpool. If they keep that up there will be a lot of seats vacant at Anfield. (discusted) "
"jose enrique can you please put the same concentration into your passing as you do into plucking your eyebrows.
please please please stop hogging the ball as though you are maradonna.. you clearly dont have that in your locker."
"if the owners have got any backbone they will review Rodgers position in the summer. come back Kenny all is forgiven. two cup finals and higher in the league"
"Enrique seemed to be slower after coming back. Gerrard is below par today even before the penalty missed. Johnson losing possession rather easy today. Of Steve outfoxed us today, by send in Lukaku after Brendan send in Borini and Sterling for the kill. He knew that we wouldn't settle for a draw. "
"How can Rogers say he can't fault the players - does he take fans for being stupid?
Enrique was woeful, Shelvey very limited. Back to where we were 6 weeks - false dawn indeed.
Rogers will win support from fans by speaking honestly not with this politically correct nonsense"
"borini is an absolute joke. if BR thinks he is the type of player we need to challenge then I fear for our future. we should have appointed Louis van gaal"
"I do not expect anything to happen overnight, but until we start buying quality players instead of wasting money on average players we will never progress.
"
"I do not expect anything to happen overnight, but until we start buying quality players instead of wasting money on average players we will never progress"
"I am so disappointed with the result tonight no DS no cutting edge now all you people that said DS was not good enough for the team can see what he gives us in the final third of the pitch he would of buried at least two of the chances that were on offer tonight ONE OF THEM NIGHTS ynwa"
"How did we manage not to win that game? How did we manage not to score? How did we manage to concede, not one but, two goals? We were very poor on both ends of the ground - poor shooting, poor defending. It's not the first time, it's a rule. If we can't win against any top 10 team... than we certainly don't deserve to be in top 10. Sad."
"well once 30 mins had gone and all the pressing wasn't getting us anywhere it was obvious how this was going to end. DS was sorely missed, SD played really well. most of the team looked worn out, we just don't have a big enough squad."
"why oh why ive been supporting liverpool for 30 years and cant remember being so frustrated!! i know we cant keep sacking managers but i do believe kenny would have turned it round this season."
"Here we go again draw arsenal and man city then a lose liverpool fc should change there name to joke pool because sorry but they are a joke over paid play when they want the chance of 4 th place no chance Brendon do us all a favour and go plz u have no clue what so ever "
"to all you Brendan Rodgers fans were exactly is this progress he keeps telling us we are making ? ninth in the league isn't progress... yes ninth !! not third or fourth.. ninth !!! below Swansea and west brom. absolute joke "
"And again we lose to WBA not once but twice,that's why from the beggining I don't agree with BR became LFC manager.4 spot I don't think so it's out of our reach.BR you should quit as Liverpool manager...."
"This was one of those games that just had the feeling about where you knew-you just KNEW- we were going to have one of those nights. Actually thought this was one of the worst games we have played this season. Ah well, time will tell if we are on the right road for sure."
"Until we buy a striker who scores consistently, we will keep losing to championship standard teams. Disappointing but we're slowly becoming a relegation scrapping team especially now carras packing in and Gerard's not too far behind."
"I still believe in RAFA,he brings us CL Cup,KING KENNY, the league cup.I'm so sad,that we lose in our homeground,we are the 18 times PL champions....BR you better quit."
"Shocking result once agaim at home to a lower league club. Same with the FA cup and League cup defeats. Can't win against the top 10 clubs. Frustrating.."
"You guys dont have sight tonight that is why you loose focus,can this man do this job,i think this great club is more than BR,we need Big Name to rescue us,Henry and the rest try and rescue us."
"Absolute disappointment! Coutinho's probably thinking 'why did i sign?'. And Luis leave before you regret your career choices. Enrique run back to the toon, Agger and Johnson, go for a spa break. Stevie hang up your boots like Carra."
"I just can't believe how mediocre Agger always seems to look when confronted by attacking players with strength. He has no pace, and gets easily out muscled. Never thought I would ever say this but Hendo and Downing were the only ones who looked like making us tick.... WE HAVE TO PUT A STOP TO THIS INCONSISTENCY"
"Seeing is believing. Very true.we all have seen how the mediocre manager and inferior players like Sterling,Boroni,Drowning,Henderson ,Shelvey and even Jhonson are not big enough to make the team big. with all due respect Carra must stop here.no need to play him now that the only viable thing is building the team for next season.BR please go!"
"Seems a mixed bag of give him time to must go but all I know is bs was right first Is first second nowhere we are a long way off where we should be and can't see this getting better "
"When the referee signed off the game, i had a voice deep inside me that said, 'we'll see u Baggies next season.' Common u Reds, no one knows whats gonna happen until the 19th of May, but we can continue giving our best till then. YNWA ! "
"Every player was average or worse, no energy at all in first half and we have lost to the baggies 3 times on the trot now, like Swansea, cant beat them after 3 attempts, awful!!!i'm going mad"
"Didn,t deserve to lose but we were not up to the standard expected. Horrible defeat. Missed Sturridge and we need 2 new strong central defenders for next season. Agger at fault again for both goals."
"Then Rodgers insultes as all and says the players were magnificent but it just wasn't to be our night.....what the F.......ing hell is going on. Daniel donkey agger has been useless, jamie hoof it out, pass it sideways or backwards carra is past it unfortunatley, Suarez was terrible...i dont understand!"
"Baggies did not stun LFC we stunned ourselves. BR was supposed to bring in the passing game but he forgot to tell players like Jose and Johnson that we have to pass to our players not theirs. I switched off after half time as I knew we were going to lose. Thats how bad it was. $th Place gone and can only hope for Europa now."
"Another woeful, shameful and inept performance. So unhappy with how this season has panned out. I cannot remember such inconsistency in all the 40 years i have supported this great club. We do have the players but i am far from convinced that we have the right manager."
"That was hopeless Brendan. Our players were asleep for the first 20 mins and hardly looked like they had had the hairdryer at half time. Enrique didn't take the full back on once for 90 mins. What's going on? Sort it out. "
"Once again talking about defensive errors and missed opportunities. McAuley losing his marker for the first and then Lukaku bullying in to get a shot away, that Reina could have done better with; It's a shame, but just punish Zenit in the next game and head for at least a Trophy this season!"
"Seeing is believing, well I saw and I still can't believe it.. 4th spot out of our grasp now.. Enrique was shocking, and after their first goal we just disappeared we were awful then.. Roll on next season were there may be some hope again."
"Zenit are a really good side, we'll get punished off them, this team isn't good enough for the champions league never mind the Europa league, sorry but its true, it hurts to say this, but we use to be a world class club, but we are no longer and with fsg as owners and Rodgers as manager its gonna be season after season of heartache, facts are we are a mid table team, id get use to it"
"Suarez needs to stop falling over as soon as he's touched. Misses out on oppurtunities. Penalty shouldn't have been given. What a Load of RUBBISH Liverpool played today.
"
"saw the team tonight i nearly kicked my jack russel!FG.Sake BR! no Sturridge wouldnt you THINK youd START Sterling?WE NEED TWO UP FRONT!Havnt you learnt nothing from the recent results when luis was getting help?WE NEED POINTS MAN!!shelvy.USELESS!!whole team were woeful..no excuses.Our LFC is becoming a joke! A team once feared throughout Europe is now looking v sad indeed!!!;-(("
"Very sadly that the first thing people said when they lose a match is to sack the manager. Have all LFC fans turn Roman-style? I read thru the entire comments and nobody mention about the crucial Penalty Gerrard miss! My nickname tell you I'm a great fan of Gerrard, but I honest to said he is one of the main reason of tonight's loss. "

"If messi, xavi and Iniesta don't peform for Barca, do they sack their manager? Players should all stand up and be counted. BR also to be blame for the subsution."
"People....you shld recall yr comments after a loss when KK and Rafa were incharge. They were much d same. & I'm sure most Manure fans felt the same as SAF rebuilt d team over there for SIX YEARS before he won d le. Give BR and d boys a break. Some were jaded, yes. Some need to be moved on, yes. But we ARE REBUILDING. We will get there but first we must hv faith in d plan. Hv faith...YNWA"
"End of the day the buck stops with the coach! Hodgeson and Kenny were shown the door for what the board thought was poor performances, im just tired of us always slipping to the lower clubs, same happened last year
"
"We played like a mid-table team the first half n proved by the end we are a midtable team , no longer top 4 in country !!
Where is all this improvement n if we missed Sturridge how are we ever going to win a game without him again ??
"
"BR, BR, BR you seem not to be reading the game or even knowing the strength of the players we have.
Anyway, you still have my support to get our club where we belong. "
"WHAT YOU GOING TO DO AGAINST SWANSEA? CAN YOU DO WHAT STEVE CLARK DID TO US YESTERDAY?DO YOU STILL PLAY BALDY AND KEEP ASSAIDI OUT?I,M STILL WITH YOU BR,BUT PLEASE TAKE US UP NOT DOWN.ITS HUMILIATING FOR US FANS."
"Something is not right in the camp. Certainly not Mr Rodgers' fault entirely. Still, I would not play a central midfielder on the wing if I had an option (what is Daniel Pacheco doing in Spain, again?) We will need a top-drawer striker and right-sided winger in the summer. Bring back Tom Ince as well."
"One thing we learnt today - from the show of pace, skill and sheer strength, as well as the end product from Romelu Lukaku, - is that we must not sell Michael Ngoo. "
"I'm a big fan off aggar but what the hell is he doing at corners sleeping but on a positive note for all us Aussies I herd today that Liverpool are playing the victory at the MCG in Melbourne can't wait could get close to a hundred thousand there can't wait will be huge"
"Its strange everytime were on the up and then BR starting to overconfidence the team,we took opponent lightly and lose the game. players and crews must learn to respect any team and dont talk too much in the media. I sstill dont understand why wesack kenny. we surely lacked exper ience, and competition in the squad(agger,gerrard,suarez,reina) that led to inconsistency
"
"I guess there is no point watching any Liverpool FC games this season anymore... I may have watched my very last Liverpool game in my life.. It is too painful to watch a LFC game where the players play dreadfully week in and out..Feel sorry for Legends 'Gerrard" and "Carrahger" . They dedicated thier whole life for Liverpool , in return they will not get a Premiere League le..."
"One win on small a team called Norwich and all those small,non-talented,rubbish players like Henderson,Downing,..are on their wings.They were no where to be seen in the last three games.And BR knows he brought Carrhager back to win favors not games.Now it is time for divorce with a British manager and let us get some real big manager."
"Carrhager and his loads of backpasses are back so are the loosing ways.He should long been gone.And it makes me feel sick in my stomach when I see Drowning make aimless runs with the ball and Henderson,he neither defends nor attacks."
"as said before jan we need 2 strikers in ,sorry but to me borini is not doing anything ,hendo is playing very well atm so why take him off ,they had 3 shots on goal and score 2 ,in 1st half it was looking like one of those games we wwere never going to score, "
"Is LFC progressing under BR? 4th place is now a Myth and Luis Suarez should leave LFC in the summer - he is a misplaced gem who needs UCL football but is now in a mediocre team with a Mediocre manager. "
"Grow a back bone Rodgers and say you made the wrong decisions! Need to discipline players who dont play well and tell them there not playing well not "we were unlcuky" Skrtel is more solid at the back than Agger and against a team who will play for set pieces, Skrtel should have started ahead of Agger!! The amount of times we have conceded from set pieces because Agger hasnt followed his man!"
"this is the liverpool story. anybody on a bad run, play liverpool. your bad run will end. aston villa(recently), spurs(last season), arsenal and many others all ended their bad runs with wins over liverpool. yesterday them baggies did it.sixth is the realistic target now. just plug away br. ynwa. "
"You spent £11m on Borini but started Shelvey as a striker, plus no room for "Welsh Xavi" Allen ? Sounds like you don't have a lot of confidence in your purchases. We have 23 shots and no goals, West Brom don't even have a shot until the 80th minute yet score 2 goals from 4 shots ! Your tactics are being exposed for what they are - inept."
"enrique, is starting really stick out like a sore thumb.....defin. not upto to standard and just shiites me watching him stuff up all the time running around in circles "
"Smh all the fickle fans flaming BR/individuals just because we lose a match.. I swear if Gerrard had scored the penalty, and we'd won the match, they wouldn't even check this site."
"YOU "FANS" (I will never call you supporters) are the real disgrace to LFC.. Not the players having a bad match. Not the manager, who's doing a more than decent job btw - pretty much everyone (experts, fans of other teams, real LFC supporters etc..) agrees on this. If you want to sack anyone or put anyone down, please just STFU!
YNWA!"
"So many idiots commenting, but I think special mention must go to Toshiro and osebasa as the biggest clowns here today. They truly are morons of the highest order. Osebasa if you have just one more go at Carra, I will hunt you down boy...."
"SGM 73 I don't want to give you bad mouth as I can't beat you at your speciality.but what other evidence you guys want to see other than the team being humiliated like this?Skrtel plays the ball forward.the stats always show how he is above every one in his completion of passes.BR gets frustrated so he used Carra & all the British contingent to win favors."
