"well if we dont get a good result agaist them in the home game are seasons will be over.Dont think there pitch helped or weather but hey we cant have any excuses
"
"Fair play. We couldnt take our chances and they played well. Was going to be hard and still will be at Anfield but who's to say it can't. We are the magicians of Europe. Chin up, guys YNWA"
"you should reimburse the travelling fans. how can you cash your non-earned salary is beyond me. abysmal is just one adjective hurting my impoverished mind right now"
"So Brendan Rodgers.. Was that the response you wanted from the team??? Pretty much played the same way they did at West brom... did u even have a defensive midfielder in the game... oh wait... thats Allen right... didnt see that guy at all. Iv never complained about any result this whole time you have been managing. but these missed chances are piling up mate. Just sayin... YNWA "
"Doesn't matter anymore. With the way s--- has gone the past three odd years I would say Europa League is done for. We will finish 8th at best. Another s--- season because of more s--- owners and s--- players, besides carra and Stevie of course(LEGENDS). YNWA"
"Team looked like they didn't care. Johnson made up for WB game and Carra consistent. Its like the team have forgotten how to play post sturridge. They should be embarrassed. sorry for the fans who made the effort to go there shame the team didn't."
"Chances missed and errors punished. Same old story. We must allow Stirling to either play off Suarez or not at all, he is too lightweight for a wing position. Generally a very good performance in difficult surroundings and we can recover this deficit."
"No drive,no passion,no direction,yet another poor result, come on BR we are getting tired of hearing the same old rhetoric after every game.
stop making excuses and start getting results,and make the players more accountable."
"A hard exercise for the REDS and it has to be a miricle at Anfield next week. Don't expect that Fortress Anfield will giive as a special night coz Anfield is no fortress anymore. BR find another job coz tiki taka sucks. "
"Ive had enough now, why when were 2-0 down do you put on lucas ? AND it was in the 75th min so whats the point ? Stupid and late subsutions so BR can f off and take allen with him!"
"Disgusted! We are a laughing stock As I did suspect before the game, if the objective of BR, the lads and FSG was that of bothering the supporters they have succeed! How is it possible wasted so many chances to score along the game and play such a crap? The will of the owner is clear, that to make become LFC a laughing stock, neither a mid table team! Gutted, angry and disgusted! YNWA "
"Did fairly well only to lose in the last minutes of the game-sound familiar? Well, we'll just have to hope we're more clinical in front of the net at Anfield and defend better. "
"I used to be proud to say i support liverpool but now its become embarrassing as most people just laugh when i tell them! Thats what we have become, a european laughing stock!"
"Oh dear.
If I turned up to work with an atude and quality of work in my job like Liverpool today, I am sure I would be asked if I really want to work for the company.
Where is the fight gone?
Come on Reds, we are Liverpool, not some part timers!"
"No drive,no passion,no direction,yet another poor result, come on BR we are getting tired of hearing the same old rhetoric after every game.
stop making excuses and start getting results,and make the players more accountable."
"I think Johnson should be loaned to a championship club. He feels safe and does nothing. Suarez should be sold for a good offer to bring in players in Sturridge mould."
"The club too big for some of the players, period. Too many young players yet to probe they can play with this shirt. Need world class players. Lets hope next season is better though. This season seems to be over. "
"How many chances does Suarez need to score, the whole team passes the ball to him and he flops every chance. Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney, and Van Persie would have had a easy hatrick by now."
"Skirtel .... Yard dog.Johnson....... Can't even spell full back. Midfield ...... No where and Suarez should of had 4 ..... Another game in the world of LFC. Keep the Faith, there's always next week ...... It's only 2 goals down ????"
"Oh dear, so did Rogers get the response he was looking for?
I guess he will get the response in the next game or is that the next game after that. Come on Reds. "
"so.... suarez should have scored at least 2 of the 4 chances he had, but he didn't, just look at what hulk did and what suarez did... just saying :)... maybe they'll do better at anfield...maybe "
"We have to take our chances in the first half and go into the break with a lead. Suarez could have had 3 or even 4 goals today! There is still an outside chance of going to the next round but only if we start converting the numerous chances we are creating!
YNWA"
"Lost again... BR has the same problems again... 2 goals due to mistakes and poor defending in 4 games in a row... another case of tactics and wrong sub..."
"Nothing Special! Some players could take part in the Championship... Hiper Talented Allen,Henderson,Downing,Borini,Shelvey,Sterling... Disgraceful! 50000£/week!!! We can not Achieve with Them! Management...? Hm...! Brendan Era, Revolution,Tiki Taka... Yes! We know it! We need to be Patience Mr. BR! Brrrrrrr....!!! YNWA Guys! LIVERPOOL"
""The record is getting stuck. The same old story we play brilliant football but just cannot score, then the opposition have one crack at goal and it is all over. ""
"edged out? now the site talks crap, what the hell is going on? why are we being fed lies by the club? Why are you protecting Rodgers? He deserves to get sacked, his players he's brought in don't perform, anybody else in his position should get the sack so why's it differ ant for this Muppet?"
"Gutted!! Suarez's poor finishing cost us its as simply as that. Joe Allen is a flop he ain't the player I thought he was, he can't pass, can't tackle and is slow on the ball. Next week the season could be over in February. Since I started watching Liverpool in the early 90s this is the worst season I've seen. YNWA "
"More of the same!!! Suarez was wasteful today and we were sorely missing Sturridge upfront. No cutting edge and a big gaping hole in midfield. Don't know what Sterling was doing on the pitch. Defence was erratic again. C'mon guys....pull it together....you're better than that!"
"What a relief- I've cancelled Sky, Espn, LFC TV - Sell Up Fenway, clear off BR you lot and your players haven't got a clue. OK luv which shops are we going to, at least if were spending money lets enjoy ourselves!"
"Once again BR team selection and naivity leads to another cup defeat. Why play Allen who was as usual useless. Even if Luis had scored all his sitters, this would have papered over the crAfter being a supporter for 50 years I have to admit that at best we are a mid table team"
"Eff me! I feel as if I just watched the West Brom game all over again. Countless chances, can't score, then get hit by two sucker punches with the defence completely at fault. W.T.H. is going on?"
"The midfield was too porous! They had better control of it! First goal was Henderson's mistake while the 2nd was Johnson's! One thing I don;t understand is don't we train strikers to sharpen their scoring abilities? Our U-18's can show them a thing or two! Who's to be blamed? Go ask the manager!"
"I think the team has more excuses up their sleeve then they have fans. Saurez is guilty of messing up the clear chances he had. Trying to be flashy rather than keeping things simple and scoring. Cannot wait to hear the excuses from BR and the players and then how they intend to turn things around on Sunday."
"Another flop. The defence cannot defend, midfield inexistant and the forwads cannot score. We are in February and the season is over, Get rid of Rodgers. Inefficient manager."
"If the majority of that team is our future GOD HELP US.
If BR says in his interview that he is happy with the effort he's not the manager I want to lead this club forward."
"BR needs to make the players more accountable,instead of defending them all the time,another poor result followed by excuses from the manager,i knew sacking kenny was a big mistake"
"what a joke the powder girls playin in midfeild(allen hendo downing)the three of them are useless allen asnt got a clue and as for rodgers 41 games in charge doesnt no is bum from is elbow thank you fsg for making us a joke with this plebe of a manager"
"At the moment,& especially this week, it's been like watching the England team, of the last 50 years play. I wanted to chuck my toys out of my watching the WBA game, tonight I dont know what to say.. "
"These are ridiculous comments. Hardly anyone goes to Russia and win so wake up. Suarez had an off day but generally this was a good performance. The team were controlling the game when an error resulted in a great goal. This is nothing to do with Rodgers as a manager but more about top players converting chances."
"To be fair, we should have scored at least 4 goals and if Suarez had put them away we would have won this game at a canter. So its hard to be too critical. But why BR plays huffers and p.uffers is beyond me. He has in his Arsenal players who are creative and comfortable on the ball, why oh why he doesn't play them is baffling. "
"There was an article on talksport yesterday.....is this team worse than the sounness team of the 90's. I believe this is the worst Liverpool team I have ever seen. Like the Souness era it is not due to lack of investment but a clueless manager. Defeat to Swansea on Sunday and hopefully the crowd will voice their disapproval "
"Edged! Crap they where well beaten. We have nothing! I guess Rogers will say they were tired from the defeat by West Brom and the travel! Come on Rogers call a Taxi and go forth and multiply! Lose at Swansea and I would sack you. As you are unlikely to win do the honest thing and go now. Anyone who disagrees with my comment can go with him!"
"I took time off work to watch an inept group of overly paid players do nothing but run around a field chasing a ball with no imagination, no creative or energy. Should have waited until Sunday to watch the kids play."
"We are rubbish. Always have been since 2011. What happened? As soon as Gerard leaves, LFC are out of our glor days for ever. Rodgers goes, yes, but, what will be the next manager? It will be countdown to thr next lose. The next season, Anfield packed of people, and then the lose. Then the excuses. FSG OUT!"
"Feel sorry for the fans that travelled to St Petersberg having to watch Allen, Sterling and Downing all playing in midfield with their vast European experiences (not). For a team that hasnt played in 2 months outclassed us in midfield. Can someone please advise me where the progress is being made. To be fair I wasnt expecting anything other than a result like this or even worse."
"Feel sorry for the fans that travelled to St Petersberg having to watch Allen, Sterling and Downing all playing in midfield with their vast European experiences (not).

To be fair I wasnt expecting anything other than a result like this or even worse."
"You are so funny... So now's Suarez's fault. Lol. The guy is alone up there... He is human, he can play bad. Still he and Gerrard are the only world class players on the team. So go blame Suarez so he leaves the club and keep Henderson, Downing, Sterling, Allen, Skrtel, Reina, etc. I would keep Lucas, Gerrard, Suarez and Sturridge and let go everybody else"
"just want rogder out and any other experience every thing is possible at anfield not when rogder i had to say i miss kenny dalgalish so so so much .with him we won silver ware and also reached to f.a cup final ,in his second season i was sure to be seen the champions leauge qualified team."
"The pundits are making very good points. We have Suarez one more season at best if we continue slipping so we need to get players next to him that will get us into the CL. Next season we should wilfully exit all cup games and concentrate on the league or we will be DOOMED!!"
"Cmon Rodgers, what rubbish you gonna feed us today? the pitch maybe? what a joke you are, all you do is upset me and my fellow supporters, do yourself a favour and walk and take your staff and your flops with you "
"Mind you its only half time and we did score 3 goals in six minutes ......you know when!!!!!! but that was with a team of committed players who wanted to fight for the cause and a Manager who had a Plan B and C."
"I wonder if they ever read what we write here.....4 games in a row, we have conceded cheap goals. There is a problem at the back. Allen was again poor. His form has deserted him completely. Johnson has forgotten how to dribble. The game should have been buried by half time....and yet we go home 2-0 down. Something is very wrong..."
"As expected. I would be laughing if anyone still harbour hopes on BR. No words to comments any further. The mentality was wrong all along, a draw would seems like a MAJOR achievement unlike the Old LFC. "
"Sacking BR wouldn't get Liverpool anywhere, we can't just keep sacking managers. I'd defiantly give him another year and say get top4 or your sacked. He needs another year. This summer is crucial for LFC we need quality to try and catch the teams above us in the league. YNWA "
"bobafett you would have been sacked just like many off these players on my team now should be ya'll are imposters who don't deserve to wear the liverpool shirt (bar johnson carra, gerrard, luis)"
"Suarez was our worst player today, not only the chances were missed but he couldnt make even a good pass. Allen has never played well I have no idea why he is here, I am a Hungarian person and I think
in Hungary there are much better players than he is. He can only pass from 2 yards and these passes are imprecise as well. I think Reina was our man of the match everybody else should be ashamed."
"Can anyone really tell me what this Rogers is all about. You know even with Carroill on the pitch today we may have done a bit better.... Have to ask those who are saying give him a chance and still feel he is the man how many points are Man Utd ahead of us and how are they doing in Europe. Now we used to be the best! Now we are the joke! "
"It's going to be one hell of a task to get through this tie. If we score two before half time, we'll finish the job that's for sure. 2 to the good, playing in front of the KOP second half will put the wind in ours sails. Their centre-backs aren't the best."
"Very sad,unfortunate game on terrible pitch.We DID NOT convert our chances,the same as vs.WB.Zenit did not offer ANYTHING.We can beat them on Anfield,I am positive.Luis cannot miss this ammount of chances and we cannot concede 2 goals after 70 mins.YNWA>"
"I am one of BR biggest fan and when he was playing Suso, Sterling and Jonjo and being brazen I loved it. Now he seems to be more cautious which will be his undoing. I admired his bravery and likened him to Shanks for this quality. I don't blame him for the poor Liverpool players he inherited and admire his ability to drop his own misfits, cont.."
"I said on Monday, Our beloved team if we don't score within the first 65 minutes, definitely we are going to loose that game. Any team can score against us. BR doesn't have a plan B. need to goooooooooo"
"Henderson trying to hold off Hulk when a simple lay off to SG would of prevented the first goal. Why on earth did our defender not close out the guy that crossed the ball for the Second goal.
Two silly mistakes again cost us."
"Sack him end of the season and bring in Harry Redknapp when QPR go down, bags of experience has the fella, anybody's better than this Muppet we have at the moment, couldn't organise a raffle Rodgers"
"another dreadful performance under Brendan. This is the worst Liverpool team in years. We're going backwards and fast. I'm calling for Brendan to be sacked. Enough is enough. I'm sick of him and his constant BS. Let's put it to the vote. I vote Brendan should be sacked. "
"We got rid of our defensive man last summer, Steve Clarke. Rodgers must be blind. He cant see that we are having major problems defending all season. I am beginning to think he is out of his depth at Lfc. Huge effort to turn this season around now"
"But now he seems to be playing by numbers and he is slipping. He should just play our most exciting team and give us a glimpse of the future. He would get more patience from of us if we saw a blue print that was young, dynamic and brave. It must be hard managing a great team like LFC with all its glorious history, but he has shown he is not daunted cont..."
"Why is it that Suarez was bagging goals for fun at the start of the season, pushing van Persie all the way for top scorer in the league, then Sturridge comes in in January, and does very well for us, but Suarez forgets how to score?"
"sad to blame luis. The lad has carried us all last season and this. He needs more help and too many players went hiding tonight.gonna have to be a memorable performance next week but dad and lad will still be cheering, come on reds."
"what match were you watching to say this was anything but a bad performance. Yes, to play in russia is hard, but the reds didn't even show!Sorry to the supporters who travelled for this joke. The remarks regarding Allen being non-existent are spot on; whole team was. I've never left my backdoor so wide..."
"An expected result. To much of passing football will never get us anywhere, so bye bye europa league. Anyway lets see if we can get back in it after 2 seasons! 2015-2016. "
"Did OK for an hour on a poor pitch but 2 lapses in 3 minutes all but ended our our season on Valentines Day. Thats how far we've fallen. The performance of LS these past 2 games is of one who doesn't care. Even if BR stays, we should sell him and rebuild minus our 4 'passengers' of course. Let us pray for a miracle next week. YNWA"
"The sooner Brendan Rodgers is sacked the better,that was a total embarrassment.Suarez should of defently converted at least one of them chances to get an away goal but no Zenit now have a 2-0 upper hand and have the chance of away goals at Anfield next week.Hulk is on fire we got no chance.:("
"When ever Allen plays for Liverpool, we are doomed to loose. Why the hell, he keeps playing the "JOKER"Joe Allen. Really gutted. All he does is passing left-right-backwards."
"but he has to be bolder now. Where is Assaidi, bring back Suso who is an artist and a creator. Sturridge will change our fortunes. Give Coutinho his head and tell him that he is our mercurial talisman. Lets get rid of the functional players and now go for ten jugular. We are LFC not Stoke. "
"Why have Joe Allen on the pitch when we have Lucas fit to play and give Stevie stuck on the half way line. PLEASE PLEASE put Suarez on the bench for a game or two and have someone take him to specsavers. This is just not good enough. "
"The formation BR implements does not work. This whole season has become a joke, BR has proven over and over again he is way out of his depth. The only thing he has done right this season is drop players when they need to be dropped, no matter who it is. But is tactical brain, if he has one and motivation skills belong on one of those american motivation cassettes, because thats how behind he is "
"Where is Assaidi? Why is he not being played. Mourinho said he would be coming back to England hopefully the Board will see sense and sack the rookie BR!!!"
"cant believe we lost 2 nil skrtel needs a kick up the backside and i dont know whats after happening to allen he looks lost i sick and tired of the abuse us LFC fans have t take off every1 transitional period my arse YNWA"
"Well a great European night at Anfield beckons! The adrenalin pumping... The atmosphere I can see it now.... But somehow I have a nagging feeling in the back of my mind we are just not good enough! "
"very bad again too much space between midfield and defence lucas should have defo started as i said on another thread allen had no chance against danny and hulk could have been worse only for pepe and what can you say about luis except unlucky but need to finish betterYNWA big night next week 12th man needed"
"Well we lost, no surprise there then. Suarez was responsible for wasting 4 good chances. I see a swift end to our euro dreams ,we can put them with a top four finish and some silverware this season. The only dream I have left is that we finish higher than we did last season. Even that dream could be just a bit far fetched."
"Can some one please explain to me what Sterling brought to the team during the past two matches? I know he's a young boy but so are the ones we send to defend the country so please and they are not involved in a game."
"What is with this "you can't keep sacking managers!? We cannot keep a clueless manager who has no idea how to change, play, bring players in etc useless and the worst manager of all time now get out please just do the decent thing !
contin....."
"Can't believe but nightmare goes on and on. Seems as we simply can't play that system sucessfully. It doesn't make sense to only control a game, when we can't win it. Time is ticking away... Once again so sad and hurting so bad..."
"Missed the 1st hour so cant comment on that but what a joke the remaining half hour. Fair enough Hendo had a bad game but jeez, everyone was that poor that even the mrs was shouting at the TV. "
"Rodgers for sure is a decent man but i am beginning to think he is out of his depth. Our defence is a right mess and like it or not we made a mistake loaning out Carroll. Can someone tell me how we are goign to get out of this mess. Swansea at weekend, surely we cant lose that game aswell?
"
"Should FSG want to remain playing baseball in the US then they need a magician in charge to manage the club who knows and can bring in the best players at the best prices - Please step forward RAFA BENITEZ FSG get clued up on this guy as soon as you can!"
"This must be a joke.
I love Liverpool all my life and I nearly 40 years of age but I really have no words to describe my frustration. Where the hell are we heading like that? I couldn't sleep monday night after WBA but it's going from bad to worse. Is that fellow called Brendan Rogers taking any responsibility for what he is doing?"
"Buddha.......I agree with you, BR was a lot braver then, but Allen was playing well then and he had limited options then as Henderson and Downing weren't playing well. Its reversed now. Hendo and Downing have (before today) been playing well and Allen has been poor. But where is Suso??? Pitch was a shocker and our boys were struggling to stand up...Must Win next week. YNWA"
"lose...lose...lose...lose...lose...lose...lose...win...darw...lose...lose...lose..lose...lose...lose
at now
win...win...win...win...win...win...win...draw...win...win...win...win...
in past
what a diffrent beetween two top writing ?plz help me."
"Lets protest for Brendan Rodgers sacking. Worst season in Liverpool history. He aint good now and he will never ever be one. Bring Rafa or any other world class managers."
"I'm not going to blame BR for this one, wasn't his fault Suarez was woeful in front of goal and the midfield didn't help out the defence. Feel we could do them at Anfield as long as we take out chances! YNWA"
"Buddha, i pray to god youre right about Rodgers. I guess we all knew this season would be difficult but its starting to become embarrasing. We must fight back now, each and every player. We can come back, we have done it before. Make Anfield rock next week and lets fight back. YNWA"
"What do you do when Suarez is having a really bad day at the office? Give him a rest and put a quality replacement on the pitch, of course. That is why we need another world-class striker in the summer. We need at least three top-drawer strikers at the club at any given time. Continued."
"People are opening there eyes which is good for the club, the system doesn't work its nearly end of the season and still no progress, you sacked Kenny for 2 finals, a trophy and finishing 8th, I no who I would have in charge and it isn't Rodgers, seems to me fsg don't have a clue about football also "
"Yeah, the weather was bad and the pitch even worse but that can't be an excuse for another disgraceful performance from our team. We can turn things around next week but it is not gonna be a walk in the park & to be honest, we are on par with teams like stoke, west ham and co right now.... Gutted...."
"suarez needs shooting practice,enrique needs to learn to kick a ball with his right foot and they need to stop mucking about at the back and playing themselves into trouble. a free kick just in our half went back twice forwards once and ended up giving it away.i am all for nice football but sometimes just get rid and regroup save the pretty stuff for outside their area not ours"
"Where's the fight? Too many lightweight players in the team. Allen for £15 million, what a joke. Borini for £10 million, not even worthy to come of the bench. Sterling far too young and inexperienced to be playing a European away tie. Rodgers far to inexperienced to be playing any ties outside of division 1."
"The season is over. Must overhaul in the summer, get rid of Henderson, Shelvey, Allen and Downing. Take a hit and sell Carroll. Have to back BR for at least 2 more seasons. Fergie took several years to get his team playing as he wanted."
"This has to stop before we turn into Nottingham Forest.We need a Mourhinio not a Rogers.It's 2013 and we can't expect to build an empire like Shanks, Paisley, or even Fergie at Man U did, with Rogers.Heads out of the sand fans.We need and deserve better.Would Juve or Real Madrid employ Rogers? We are 5 times European Champions accepting mediocrity. It has to stop. "
"hmmm, I am a big fan of BR but even I raised my concerns about the team selection before the match, our finishing was woeful... should have been 2 all, but the score is the score, all to do in the second leg..."
"same old thing, look very average without sturridge and were not going to get top 4. so there's a good chance we will lose suarez, this is all FSG'S FAULT. if there put real money into the club at the beginning of the season we might have been in a better position, hope im wrong but the future does'nt look to rosey."
"Have to say if Suarez was more clinical we would win more games. Still need another good finisher to Sturridge. Not sure where Borini fits in anymore. :("
"One other thing , stop calling for a Raffa return , he is at Chelsea with a better squad than he had at Liverpool and he isnt exactly setting the league on fire, infact I can see a lot of what made me believe his time at LFC was up , so pack it in Rafa aint the answer."
"Bobble57 Controlling the game ? Reina was keeping us in it, they attacked at will. Had Suarez taken his chances, it could have been different, but they had a lot of chances too."
"I'm still trying to figure out why the hell BR would bring in Lucas when we need goals. This LFC team is lifeless and clueless. GJ was just standing around in that second goal zenit player just walked in unchallenged. BR needs to leave I have had enough. I have not seen any progress this season it's been consistent lifeless performances. "
"but i do think we must stick with brendan through thick and thin, but fsg must get there hands in there pockets and spend big time, see if we can get a refund on allen ha ha."
"It's almost 4am in this part of the world and the game ended 45 minutes ago. It all seems like a recurring BAD DREAM.....one bad game after another. Can't remember winning a game. Been supporting LFC for almost 40 yrs now and this is the most trying. Chin up boys, can't get much worse.....wait, we have Swansea this weekend..."
"We are are a huge club when it comes to history, but here and now we are not a top club. This was the season we needed to propel ourselves back into the elite and we have failed miserable. This tie is over, Zenit will score an away goal. We need to see out the season bring in a renowned manager and target proven quality players, even if that means we only recruit two players with our whole budget"
"Really disappointing, we played crap. This system of BR's just isn't working. How can we tiki taka when we can't even pass the ball to someone in a red shirt. Why suarez up top on his own? Not the first time he has done that. Where is your 4-3-3, supposedly as 3 strikers up front. Don't know anymore brendo
YNWA."
"Same old story this season play well and still lose only if Suarez had shooting boots on but on the other hand i don't think the pitch help.And Brendan will get it right give him 1 or 2 more seasons and we will winning everything YNWA"
"Hugely disappointing result but looking at it rationally we deserved a draw. We matched Zenit in defence and attack for the first hour and final 10 minutes. Suarez was really poor at finishing tonight. Next 2 games v Swansea and Zenit are huge. If we win both, game on! Lose = season over."
"Why are some fans asking to give BR another season or two!!! The guy should never have been appointed in the first place. He has no pedigree nor any experience. He is simply not good to manage a top team. Look at Laudraup played at top level and gained top experience and that is reflected in how good Swansea is playing!!! "
"Hindot You really are not serious are you backing BR for another two years? I want to see Liverpool win the t_i_tle before my ashes are scattered in the Mersey! "
"ppl sayin sell Luis need there head examined we need as many world class players as we can get just coz he had an off night doesn't mean he doesn't care he's on fire this season 2 bad games doesn't make him a bad player Fact......"
"Wheelan, I am on my hands and knees right now begging the Gods to come to our aid, lol. BR has the qualities and this will either make or break him. We will see what team he puts out against Swansea. If he doesn't go for the jugular then its a sad indictment. "
"I hate to say it but I have to be honest, hendo, downer, allen just not good enough for LFC, and sterling not ready for regular first team yet. We are in deep if all these 3 are still with us come start next season. First time i've ever said that about a player that wears the crest but we got to be honest now."
"why why why why was Brendan " never won or done anything in football " given the job of being manager of Liverpool FC ??????????? We are becoming more + more a laughing stock to other clubs as the season goes on !!!"
"7 years for fergie to get it right? you mean we have to have Rodgers for another 6 years, think I might have to see me doctor and have him up my dosage of prozack, depressed as it is :("
"I did not watch the game, so I am not going to comment on it but I wanted to check how it went. Reading these comments made me happy I did not watch and I am not dissapointed or feeling bad in any way, I just do not care anymore. I am reliefed that I am not going to waste my time watching this rubbish, it feels good you should try it."
"I know you are a rookie Brendan,so here is a tip for you. When you appear on TV, make sure you wear a shirt which sports the logo of a sponsor. It's what they pay us millions for. Don't advertise a company that don't even pay us. Got it? Unbelievable. Total Amateur."
"Buddha, i'm with you on that. I pray Rodgers comes good. We gotta start allover again on Sunday and go all out to win. Then lets make Anfield hell for Zenith next week. Come on redmen, stand up and fight!"
"Give Brendan two more seasons? Ridiculous. Sack him now. He's useless. He will continue to drag LFC further down the league and still feed the loyal fans his usual crap. Would Barca, Real, Juve, or any other top club tolerate this crap? No, Brendan should be sacked! "
"don't worry all you BR fans its just ANOTHER defeat but he'll get the right response from the players against Swansea !! doesn't he tell us that after every loss ??? in Brendan you all trust... GOOD LUCK WITH THAT"
"first and foremost, allen played wreched. stirling, sorry all you ridiculous supports is not consistant nor is he physically strong enough.
suarez wasted everything, but im sure brendan will just sugar-coat everything and well...we miss sturridge"
"But we all know suarez cannot score the easy goals.thats why he is not messi. and thats why lfc are not barcelona.So lets top pretending and at least become a team thats hard to beat instead of the softy bullshiote we are turning into now"
"This is becoming a joke? We are a joke, nice one Brenda and FSG, yet again you upset the supporters, more heartache to come if we stick with Rodgers and the owners, waste of space both parties"
"Even the most myopic can surely see what FSG are about by now. And to think they sacked Kenny and replaced him with Rodgers. Further proof they know nothing about football. Fortunately it looks like they will be selling over summer. Lets hope we get serious owners with interest,passion and serious vision for this great club. "
"Why are we accepting a non-proven manager to lead the Mighty Reds? Why are we accepting players who doesnt worth to put on the famous red shirt?i will be wearing my new home kit with carragher 23 at the back.i will take the beating from public.i ll die for LFC.but does the players feel the same too?"
"Rodgers should quit mentioning the greatness of LFC at every press conference, I think he is in over his head as his job is to recapture the glory days and at which he seems to be faltering. WE OWN ANFIELD AND THOSE LOST POINTS AT HOME IS PITIFUL. "
"why is Sterling even playing? he has one goal all year and he is up top with Luis. Sterling needs to be in the reserves until he learns how to score...hate to say it, BR out...bring in Harry Redknapp...YNWA"
"A final blow to the season. Don't have the character to make a comeback at Anfield...Lets hope we finish in the top 10 this season....that would be a great achievement!!!"
"It's interesting fact that some Rodgers supporters here call for his sacking tonight.I called for it before 3 months.And,yes,the biggest mistake in 10 years was K.Kenny sacking,I stated.What K.Dalglish think about LFC season tonight?I can only imagine...Cntd... "
"It's true Dalglish is a better manager than BR as he has a lot of experience - but I believe they chose BR because he is young and could develop into a top class manager. FSG have to realise that LFC can not wait for success they want it yesterday."
"we score now and then but we don't know how to defend our lead n when got behind can't score, that's the main problem of this squad of players, our defence is in shambles can't stop conceding goals, if u can't score then don't concede for team's shake, who's our defense coach..???"
"So,I am behind players then and now and always,but I blame FSG,nobody else.Rodgers took a job too fast and too early.What we can do now?Try to beat Zenit,we are better,sure,2-0 easy,we can do that.Try to win as much as possible in PL and finish on 5th or 6th,assure EL.I still believe in this team.YNWA>"
"There needs to be a clear-out starting with Rodgers,this team are mid-table and this is probably where they will end up. Come on reds STOP defending them total RUBBISH."
"were are the owners in all this whilst we complain on a regular basis? they give us no sign there happy, they just sit there and give the fans no hope, I mean they don't even go to the games we play for crying out load"
"Rodgers compared liverpool to real madrid when he took over,well if real were 9th in the table out of two cups and nearly out of europe would mourinho still be in a job?No the fans would be going around with his head on a stick."
"cannot hold onto games recently... but we have done it before, remember Auxerre?? but sick of these defeats & draws, and of Rodgers blinkered view in post game interviews. stop bull sh*tting man and be honest with fans"
"Ayre said last season
""If you don't believe the results are right and feel 37 points off the champions and 17 points off Champions League pace is a long distance you have to make a change"
So it is clear Brendan Rodgers is already finished. Or Ayre is for being a hypocrite.One or the other."
"the good aspect of last season is that eve though the league didn't go our way. They showed they could achieve things with the cups with gave us a lot of optimism for the future. Without cup success we just have 7th to look forward too. We have to stay in the europa league - next week is crucial."
"If Rodgers was serious about progressing further, wouldn`t it have been an idea to go for players who aren`t cup tied in the Janua ry transfer window? We appeared to have just reverted to form, playing with just Suarez up front. And he looked fed up."
"whoever the opposition are I am never confident anymore that we will win. I live in hope of a victory not expectation of one... sad but true...it shouldn't be like that we are LFC "
"i said it at the start of the season we will win nothing under Rodgers and will struggle to qualify for Europe,i was hoping i would be wrong but it looks very much like it,he's got to go we can't defend / "
"redfergal embarassed to say your a liverpool fan well dont bother then because we dont need fans like you! we didnt play that bad just didnt take our chances yeh we do need some work in certain areas joe allen is not liverpool quality but was lucas when he wore the liverpool shirt for 3 months! "
"redahendo....with all due respect,i coudn't give a toss what you think of my comments. I only make them to improve my typing skills. I get all the footy banter I need in town."
"It's a major blow for BR if we go out of europe next week as it would mean he threw away the achievement that Dalglish gave us (getting us into europe via cup win). If we finish no better than last season then we have gone backwards with no europe next season."
"Kenny would never come back and who would blame him after the way fsg treated him, that's proof that fsg haven't a clue what there doing, cos that's not how you treat a legend, its the American way or its the high way people, more heartache to come"
"this season has now turned in to a disaster fsg have made a massive mistake with br the transfer polisy.br is to inexpierenced for the job along with the young players"
"WHY GIVE RODGERS ANOTHER SEASON WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO TO DRASTICLEY CHANGE OUR FORTUNES NEXT SEASON ? WE ARE LFC NOT SWANSEA. MEDIOCRITY IS NOT AN OPTION !!!!!!!!!!"
"i said at the start of the season we would win nothing under Rodgers and would struggle to qualify for Europe hoping i would be wrong but looks like i'm right he,s got to go and take Allen with him,cant defend tackle or mark and only can pass one way , "
"Dont understand why people cant see what a remarkable job he is doing and the improvements he has made.We will win the le next season remember who told you"
"ive supported this club since the days that Kevin Keagan played ,so ive had many excitements from L.F.C. nowdays to be compeive you need a lot of cash , the kind that FSG will not spend . But never the less .....i"ll always be a LIVERPOOL fan till i die . YNWA"

"Thats the problem Lonewar69 - We can't rely on Suarez all the time, he is human. No one can carry a team for an entire season- we need the other players to get goals and get into the box. Players too tentative and hanging back letting Suarez do it all."
"Liverpool is definitly dead! there is no pleaure anymore to support this team. No great games, no champions league, only low cost football! mid table is so comfortable !"
"our defence just hasnt turned bad overnight theres nothing wrong with PR MS DA JE GJ they just need better coaching,our midfield is lightweight DS and LS are good."
"Sad state of affairs what is going on let's be honest kenny got sacked two finals and we won one this is not good all the goodwill is draining fast will be lucky to finish 7 and can't see a come back next week how can we sort this ? Jose or rafa we need to do it now not early next season as this just can't go on "
"Is there still the criminal offence of OBTAINING PERCUNIARY ADVANTAGE BY DECEPTION in the UK. If so I think charges should be laid as we are being ripped off badly. We have now become the Manure of the late 60's, 70's 80's and early 90's "
"Any rational Liverpool fan can see no progression has been made. If anything we are going backwards at an alarming rate. Just watched back the highlights and yes..... guess who lost the ball in midfield for Hulks goal?"
"Springphil what r u on about Rodgers and FSG have said from the start of the season that there be no money 2 spend and a season 2 build on so get a grip will u pal.FSG got rid of our debt and 1 of the best youngers mangers in "
"We have technically gifted and creative players like Assaidi who will never be given the opportunity to showcase his wealth of talent, let alone be given the chance to warm the bench and you want to want top 4!!! "
"Just finished cup of tea and read the tea leaves. They tell me that we are due for a run of 15 wins. Everything LFC touch turns to gold. You heard it here 1st."
"Yep the performance was once again meh...suarez missed some chances but seems like there were almost no shots from the others...and i wonder who was the AM..."
"lfc is crap with mediocre players, low IQ manager and above all egocentric American owners. It saddens me to see my beloved club wringling comfortably in mid table position. "
"Another match with our forward being woeful in front of goal and the defense having another horror three minutes of lapse of concentration.
These flaws need to be sorted as quickly as possible before the season ends up on a disastrous note.
"
"BR has my full support - If the tea leaves are right, and they definitely are. You will all be changing your tunes regarding young BR. However just as back redohendo shall we prepare a thick dossier of our plans for the team to present to FSG?"
"hey everyone, this is me, someone has taken my name... very strange people can sink so low that they would have do that... the pundits, FSG, the manager and real fans all know this season is about transition and repair, and we are doing that. poor result though! why does BR persist with some players, when suso and co could do a better job...."
"We need a clinical striker not one that misses 5 chances a game. We cant rely on suarez to get every goal because he just isnt clinical in the same way rvp and other top strikers are. Players cost us today not rogers "
"Lonewar the last 5 seasons have been about transition and repair. We're sick of transition and repair. We want wins and preferably 15 in a row, with a cup."
"Im no expert but i wonder if the blueprint for success has changed.Shankly had aobscurity to aid him while he built lfc from div 2.Fergie did not have the internet and instant impatience to deal with, he had 5 years before fans got fed up with him.Br 7 months or so into his job is floundering.Solution?Who knows."
"And so, another season comes to an end.Its very difficult to know what to say anymore other than it is very hard to look at the amount of money we have spent compared to Everton, arsenal and spurs and to see where we are. why cant we choose good players, whats wrong?"
"Selling Suarez? - its a bold move, but I guess it will make a statement of our unwavering intentions.. I suggest an audacious bid for Christiano Ronaldo - think we could get him for 120 million. thoughts?"
"RealLonewar - Do you own a company? because if so I am looking for a job. You seem like the perfect employee, because by the sounds of it, it will not matter how mistakes I make at work your always have my back."
"Only joking redsquirral -The guy has grown on me recently but it still winds me up how he persistently tries to take people on when there's far better options ahead of him."
"I think we should keep Suarez - we need to add at least 1 world class talent every season. Although we do need to make some sackings to make a statement of intent - thats what they all do. BR sent KK's star signing Carroll packing for instance - can't beat that. thoughts?"
"I agree RAFA IS NOT THE ANSWER AND THE folks calling him back are as delusional and clueless as rodgers. KK maybe, or ancelotti. No mourinho he is CFC lets hold onto whatever little pride we have left.There are other great coaches out there.EVen brazils dunga who pretty much only lost a handful of games in charge of brazil would be better."
"I dont understand how suso can do any better. He has no pace, no muscle how is he going to be better than whats out there. So many knee jerk reactions ranks of amateurs posting. I guess FSG and brendon are better qualified than the morons posting here."
"Joking aside BR has my support, the main focus is the league next season. At times we are playing good stuff, its just so inconsistent. We seem to have taken a few steps back from last season but I suppose it was needed with ageing and overpaid players. Keep the faith.YNWA"
"Why don't we play Assaidi any more, and why do we play Sterling. Why Allen and not Lucas? Why does Suarez have to be so flashy, just put the ball in the net! Jamie don't go! Next week!!We need a minor miracle! So get praying."
"we need middle eastern owners who have money to buy the quality we need - enough with the kidz! Suarez does not like playing up front alone, he makes things happen, we need experienced, quality players to play with him"
"i have not seen the game so cant comment. but i am so so sad with the last 2 results after playing so well and dominating! we should have had 3 points against Arsenal and Man City - we could not hold on and since then, something has happened"
"Stevie G should not even have played tonight - we should have enough players to cover him! Captain Fantastic has played every single game, the guy is 32! we got Swansea on Sunday, he shld have been rested!"
"KK should have been given another season, even 2, but he was ousted cause of his management of the Suarez incident. 2 finals, we won 1 - BR is taking us backwards! He shld have played DS from start in the Man U game!"
"Sorry to say it, but my beloved LFC are not going to beat Zenit next week. we no longer have Mascherano/Alonso - those are the kind of players we need NOW at LFC - silly policy that FSG have! LFC needs an experienced manager"
"We have no cutting edge. We d1ck about passing for passing sake. Eventually we out pass ourselves and the opposition score. We keep passing and they score again but we keep trying to pass. Take a shot from outside the box now and again, dribble, go on a long run. I would even be happy to see a route one from time to time if it meant we won."
"redahendo - I to have supported BR, because we all know if he succeeds, we all succeed. But I can not be blinded any longer with his glaring inability to get the best out of his players, plus his tactical nous is very suspect. Is your trust in him not starting to waiver? "
"Our team should be averaged around 23-24 years old. Our defense tonight was 30. Let's keep playing Carragher, he's clearly better than Skrtl (8 goals conceeded in the last 4 games...)!"
"hey Lpdcollier, BR made mistakes tonight, the team selection was poor, stevie G should not have travelled, suso should have started and I dont think allen should have played, I said this before the match, but I still believe in the vision! but I may need laser eye referral!"
"to redsquirrel, then want is the answer, believe in Brs vision for another couple of seasons, bring KD or Rafa Back, or start again with someone else, I think for now stick with what we have and try and ride out the storm....but it is frustrating times..."
"yeah, no cutting edge - Steve Clarke should have stayed - Stevie G shld not have played tonite. Y not Coady alongside Suarez - why Allen, Y, Y, Y, he is S-ite! Man U/Man City/Chelski can put out 2 quality teams, we have 3 and the rest are kids"
"We should have gave KK another season at least,As for mourinio not a snow balls chance!!
FSG would not spend the money on him our the players he would want to sign.No we r what we r the too cowboys seen to that and those how sold to them in the first place."
"Need to look towards next season. All these young players are not going to take us anywhere near the Champions League. Are the best experienced players interested in joining Liverpool? I don't think so. Liverpool does not have that appeal anymore. Forget about what everybody else thinks, but there needs to be a shake up at Liverpool. Where not even going to be able to catch Everton."
"I think it is obvious the players are losing faith in Rodgers. And now with all the cup competitions gone, Europe on the abyss and champions league football looking more and more distant, the season will just nosedive from here. "
""Suarez lost us this game"? What, he scored 2 own goals? No way. Of course Luis should have scored at least one for us, but if we didn't concede 2 goals it could have been a draw. Our defense could concede 2 in every game - not good at all at the moment. "
"Where are the players who gave heart and sole for the club. Watch any premier rugby union side and look at the commitment. Why is this missing? This is a club to die for not just turn up. That includes you Brendan!!"
"We are still short of strikers and Suarez missed 5 golden opportunities. He is playing like a man who has lost his confidence, and can you blame him, playing with this lot every week?"
"BR OUT , ALLEN OUT,HENDERSON OUT,BORINI OUT,DOWNING OUT .
RAFFA IN, ALONSO IN, TORRES IN,HONDA IN,ROBBIN IN = REINA,JOHNSON,KELLY,AGGER,WISDOM,ROBBIN,GERRARD,ALONSO,HONDA,TORRES AND SUAREZ = GOOD TIMES AHEAD = MANY CUPS AND THE LE !!"
"The spirit of Istanbul should be resuscitated. 3 goals down half time,and still won the game! Do it reds. I've admired this club since 1983 bcoz I bliv it is the best in the world. Let the players show it indeed is the best. As they did in 2005."
"i agree br is out of his depth bu RAFA IS NOT THE ANSWER, look how hes doing at celsea with all the monry they spent and how he did at inter with the same team mourinho won the champions league with, NO RAFA
"
"I've been a life long supporter and i'm sick of the moaning and calling for ppl to be sacked,loaned out or sold.Yes we lost but we put out a good performance.The manager is not at fault so give him a chancs.As for the person who said johnson does nothing are you f'ing serious do you actually watch any of the games.Jokers support the f'ing club and shut up."
"When you have all those chances and don't put the game to sleep, that's what happens, it happened WBA and somebody said we learnt lesson. Hope the trend doesn't continue at Anfield Swansea on Sunday. 1st goal was a stunner but 2nd defense went to sleep just like at WBAArsenal and Man City , excellent RENA yesterday in a long time.YNWA"
"So many pathetic comments and even buddha the Judas has turned his back on BR and is now calling BR's purchases 'misfits'. ha ha.. What a sad bunch of losers we have as fans.. No sign of LDW, Buddha must have forgotten his password. And Lonewar = joke. "
"I think suarez needs a break as he is just trying too hard by himself. He needs to bring players n not to do it by himself as the defenders are getting his style of play n making the right tackles. Passion is
in the heart n by just wearing the jersey you must feel that you are invicinble.YNWA?"
"i swear these players should all take a cut in their weekly salary. maybe then they'll play with more passion cause i didnt see any yesterday. worst week ever and a loss to swansea would top it off. "
"If we're not taking our chances, then we shouldn't be leaking goals at the back. We need solid players like Sakho from PSG at the back. Our defence just seems to be backing off, ballwatching or are to slow to react."
"Defensive midfield was the biggest problem. We allowed runners directly onto the back four far too many times. If Allen isn't up to the job (which he doesn't appear to be) and Gerrard can't be disciplined enough to hold,Lucas should really have started."
"They say patience is a virtue. I for one am running out of it.
Yes Luis may have done better but really the game was lost, as it was against WB by our lack luster midfield. Allen isn't up to it. Hendo hasn't got the experience. Stevie is past it. We need at least 2 more DM and Lucas has to start every game.
Plus we need another striker at the level of Suarez and Sturridge"
