"LADS:
Listen to the LEGEND...if he says: "It's not been Brendan Rodgers' problem, consistency has been a problem here for a few years now."
how on earth can you blame him for not scoring goals but conceding sloppy goals!?
Get behind your Team and this Team inlcudes the manager!!!"
"You don't carra , but downing and sterling need to get more involved and link up with suarez rather than just running up and down the
flanks.I how in the transfer window BR buys better wingers."
"Carra - The whole learning thing should be done in training. Its the same excuse each week - we need to learn. No offence but your 34 years old, you should know better."
"I feel we are lacking the character to come from behind and win games. Hopefully I am wrong, but it feels like current Liverpool team is giving up games too easily. It happens when we are 2-0 up or when we go 1-0 down in a game where we have been far better side. Hopefully Sturridge will be back against Swansea."
"We need to bring youth up from the academy and buy experienced quality in the transfer market. We need FSG TO SELL AND JAMIE CARRAGHER FOR ASSISTANT PLAYER/MANAGER NOW."
"We also have to remind ourselves that this is just early Europa league competition, and serves to show just how far from champions league competition this club has drifted since FSG bought us."
"CARRA IS RIGHT! BUT THE PLAYERS WERE MUCH MORE MOTIVIATED TO PLAY FOR KING KENNY! WHERE IS THE PASSION, DESIRE, THE PRIDE TO WEAR THAT SHIRT? I DONT THINK BR IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR LFC.
FACTS DONT LIE: EARLY EXIT 2 CUPS, 9th in the LEAGUE, AND ALMOST OUT OF EUROPE.
PLUS NO EUROPE 13/14
NOT EVEN MENTIONING CHAMPIONS LEAGUE..."
"this what brendan rodgers gets for treating ANDY CARROLL the way he treated him, could have easily won some of the games we lost if we had ANDY playing....nuf said"
"Instruction comes from the manager but its the players who go out on the pitch and have to make the right decisions. Silly mistakes in the last 5 games have cost us, hardly something BR instructs players to do."
"This is the worst liverpool team i have seen in 40 years, And every time i see Sterlings name on the sheet my heart sinks, sorry if the truth hurts, something that is lacking on these forums IN MY OPINION!"
"this performance and many others show that we have poor qualty in mid and forwards areas the style play wont work for us purley because we have no quality and ball retention is poor allen poor"
"Under KD and BR we come out and try to dominate all areas of the pitch by constantly pressuring the opposing team when they have the ball. Utd dont do this. They get back behind the ball, drop down to walking pace, and wait for opposition to come to them. When utd get the ball, they counter. Super effective. They use these tactics even against wigan"
"Carra Just admit that Rafa was actually decent and you enjoyed your most successful European nights thanks to him. Beating barca, real, inter, Ac, Arsenal, Chelsea!! BR out Rafa in!! Last night was BRs biggest ever European night. Someone tell him about istanbul!"
"BR needs to realise with the current squad we cant keep bombing our LB and RB forward otherwise we are going to get found out all the time, saying that Skrtl should have closed down HULK and Johnson should have done his job properly for the seconds goal and kept with the winger to clear the ball, no reason for stopping and watching the play, you can do that in the stands. "
"I can see the real reason why carra is hanging up his boots he and rogers don't see eye to eye from last nights showing there seems to be other players who are not playing for him. Only a observation."
"our league position,early cup exits and the position we find ourselves in Europe is the true reflection of where we are right now and the sooner we come to terms with that the better.And we will have less whinning from supporters.if the policy is to buy kids with the hope of building for the future then our position should not worry us, it could have been worse...cont"
"we supporters need to be patient with the manager and the team.i'm not even worried that we are not going to finish top 4 this season.last night showed that we are not ready for champions league.with the current team we would be knocked in group stages without a doubt....cont"
"my major concern is that this rebuilding process is going to take much longer than it should be,because we keep buying average(potential) players at very inflated prices.also to put salt in the wound is the fact that LFC supporters are starting to lose patients,which explains the constant attacks on players and the manager."
"The first thing for that
to happen is you have to stand down you are now way
too slow.If anything you
are too passionate. Last
nite after 20 mins sweat was pouring off , this in
almost freezing temps.It
was not for the amount of
running it was bcause you
were so hyped up ."
"neither of these things are good for any club.this must be the lowest state that the club has been.we just need to be believe that things will finally turn around at some point in the future.....cont"
"we can get encouragement from the acquisition of Sturridge and Cotinho.if we can make those infuential additions in every transfer window,then we will eventually get where we want to be.i'm afraid that could take at least another 2 years.all that is needed from us is patience and we need to support the team in these trying times."
"our pass and move system too, seems to only work when there are lots of space...like the arsenal, man city game and our fighting spirit usually against top teams. We oftenly give or loose the ball easily and our movement doesnt look wise and is slow..."

"well, I think Skrtle Agger partnership is much better, you all keep saying carra organizes the defense, yet we keep loosing from set piece, big respect to carra but i think he is not helping at the moment, Rogers should stick to skirtle and aggar till the end of this current campaign. "

carra could be a better manager than the one we got,we played nearly perfect geez if thats nearly perfect we a lot further behind than i thought we were ,come on redmen do it for the fans we pay your wages "
"does anyone within LFC read these posts? i.e players, manager? do they understand how we really feel and that they can't keep trotting out the same old lame excuses. Timr for some honesty from within I think."
"I just love how some people still try and blame FSG for the problems LFC have faced for years before FSG was even heard of. Most of you people posting should be ashamed of yourselves. Call yourself fans, yet all I see is a bunch of whine a s s 's"
"
Seriously though, does anyone know why Assaidi isn't getting his game. I think this guy is a beast. Him on the left wing Coutinho on the right and Stevie pushed up behind Suarez = goals."
"11 goals in 5 games. Say it all. We need a Tank in the box.
Johnston is a terrible defender. He watched the winger twice and still didn't have the smarts to close him down."
"Other than Stevie and Luis, knowone gets forward. Lets face it, Sterling gives us nothing..zero offensively. He needs to go back to the reserves. BR has brought in these "little" guys...look at allen, borini, and coutinho..they are all under 5'8"..too samll, add Sterling to that..we get pushed around to easy..YNWA"
"I don't understand why SG keeps being played so deep,this to me is an outrage. Because we have too many central players,who want to play in the 'hole' our best player,who can do a job any where gets sacrificed.Doesn't make sense to me."
"FSG please note this buying policy does not work in 1 season, you still need to buy experiance and strength ! This longterm view is great, but it does mean you spend little now and have to wait ages for results. MU stillbought pedigree players and developed youth under Fergie, you have to blend it and at the moment we are off the pace !"
"We need another McMahon & Souness combo to support Lucas & StevieG. Then we need a stronger CF to allow Suarez and Sturridge to work off him.
These currnet crop are too light and still boys ! "
"Give ASSAIDI a start against Swansea and see what comes from it. GEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZ you giving Sterling a chance and assaidi has more skill, speed and EXPERIENCE than him!"
""The first six games of the campaign brought two goals and two assists - and that season Assaidi would go on to score a hat-trick against champions FC Twente. He also notched two assists and won a penalty during the 6-2 win.
The Morocco coach was starting to take note and Assaidi made his international debut replacing Adel Taarabt."
"
"still the same excuse in every defeat , if the players do not play honestly for this club it's better if they leave. we need more passionate and quality players otherwise we still win a game and loose 3 !!
"
"Individually, each player has undoubted ability; collectively there's a gel or cohesion called'character' or/and mental resilience that goes missing when the pressure is on. "
"We don't need a "people's manager", we need a Dictator type to regroup the bits and pieces plus ideny the weakness and execute solutions. Be it trial and error of Rafa although we seen the flop of Mark Gonzalez but at least he done his job. BR out, Rafa or Mourinho in."
"Not quite as bad as Souness'...yet. As fragile as Roy - E's defence before Ged came and brought Sami, Westerveld and Henchoz to shore it up. God, we could with a Sammi Hyppia now!"
"Offense will win you games, defense will win you championships. Until we start defending better we won't challenge for anything. Last season Agger/Skrtl were the top defensive pair in the EPL, we won the League Cup and came close for the FA cup, we just didn't score at all."
"Assaidi is in BR's bad book because he went off to the Africa Nations Cup with Morrocco just as he was recovering from injury. BR didnt want him to go, he went, hence not been seen since."
"I do not see any reason why someone who takes in a week what others take in a year won't be named for letting the team down. For me Johnson needs a replacement and an offer of £35m for Suarez will do."
"FSG, is it possible to have our post-match analysis from Carra than Rodgers? At least, this guy knows what he's talking about unlike Rodgers who brands bad performances like last night as 'near perfect' one. "
"Why does Brendan Rodgers say that, always defensive of poor performances, well said CARRA. I live value and respect such honest and soul searching. 11 goals scored against us since Oldham. POOR POOR POOR. VERY POOR. "
"Man City linked with Cavani, Chelsea linked with Falcao, LFC fans still believe in Carroll. You are funny. Your mentality makes me laugh, your mentality never suits for big teams."
"Shame Carragher didn't support Rafa like this, rather than stabbing him in the back. I'd have Rafa back tomorrow, at least he reaaly loved our club not just the plaudinous guff that Rodgers spouts."
"Will everyone please stop bashing Brendan! He cannot act as a puppet master to the players, they have to execute the game plan. The fact that they fell apart on 70 minutes is not Brendan's fault. I would have liked Rafa in the summer but face the facts, we took a risk with Brendan and HAVE to persevere for another 2 seasons at least. "
"Zenit just missed gettin through group stages of champions league cus they was in very hard group went to a very cold russia & played on a pitch that suited for sunday league game let alone a european game & 4 85 min we kept them at bay easy & on another day would of scored 4 goals easy yes our defence 4 5 mins was shocking & we paid the price 4 it just like vs w,brom"
"I like the way JC speaks opposing the way BR speaks. BR tries to hide all his mistakes even after a very poor performance. JC makes it so clear about the reality as well as the confidence he shows in the team. On the other BR's confidence portrays the team in dumps "
"Thought Carra played well - as he has done since getting his place back. But the goals were poor from our point of view, especially the second. We need a bit of steel in midfield!"
"This club is in deeper problem than is apparent. The shame is that those who shud don't seem 2 know. So, we continue to get these half measures and total lack of urgency. D players respond with sloppy and ambitionless displays."
