"brendan, brendan....same mistaka as WB match...last 30 minutes and you kill game by poor subsutions...shelvey nowhere and assaidi, sterling are nowhere near to change game like that. Liverpool was on the way to win this, but after third goal Rodgers killed it."
"Awesome fight tonight redmen! That is what we want week in and week out.
Brilliant effort, feel gutted for carra. Hope he holds his head high. I am still proud of the way they performed."
"The courage that was shown by Liverpool just about makes up for the disappointment of going out of the cup. Gutted, yes, of course I am, but we didn't roll over meekly and die. We went for their throats and so nearly brought them to their knees. Well played. 3-1 at home deserves a pat on the back. At least I feel that the team genuinely did its best. YNWA"
"im so proud of u guys...we were amazing, so unlucky. woke up at 3am 2 watch tis over here, nd as usual i had no regrets.
YNWA Red Men. Hold ur heads up high"
"Oh!!, lets sub out two players when everything Works perfectly!!AND JUST got up to 3-1.. Game shanger in my mind.. Bad Bad.. Great game by the players thou.. YNWA!!"
"we lost it in st Petersburg, it really was a Bridge too Far but boy did they try so hard, Johnson's delivery into the box was as usual awful, it's always hit and hope, his end product costs us too many times. "
"So close yet so far, somewhat bemused by BRs decision to take off Allen and Hendo. Allen gave a good performance I thought. Bit of bad luck with Carra on an otherwise great performance from him, just wasn't to be tonight. Hope we take our confidence back on to our PL, we've still got something to fight for this season."
"if anyone bad mouths liverpool for this game just go away aye. cuz if you had watched the game man that was one hell of a show. i swear that was the best i had ever seen liverpool play. should've had a penalty but nothing we can do now. all fans that saw the match, that is what bredan rodgers will bring us next season. pure worldclass soccer. YNWA"
"THANK YOU VERY MUCH, LADS!!!! YOU'VE MADE US PROUD! SHAME WE LOST, CARRA, DON'T BE HARSH ON YOURSELF, IT'S TEAM'S FAULT (we've conceded in Zenit), NOT ONLY YOURS. AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO KOP AND ALL THE FANS!!! ATMOSPHERE WAS FANTASTIC! YOU TOO MADE EVERYONE ELSE CONNECTED WITH LFC PROUD"
"THANK YOU VERY MUCH, LADS!!!! YOU'VE MADE US PROUD! SHAME WE LOST, CARRA, DON'T BE HARSH ON YOURSELF, IT'S TEAM'S FAULT (we've conceded in Zenit), NOT ONLY YOURS. AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO KOP AND ALL THE FANS!!! ATMOSPHERE WAS FANTASTIC! YOU TOO MADE EVERYONE ELSE CONNECTED WITH LFC PROUD"

YNWA"
"That was one hell of a game! The team was brilliant! We were unlucky with the Carragher mistake, but to take nothing from the team, they were just magnificent! If we play like this for the rest of the season, who knows, we might even knock on the doors of top 4! Suarez, I have no words for you! You were magnificent as always!!! YNWA"
"Great effort very unlucky tonight. How that neto managed to go the whole game without a booking i dont know. The hand ball before the 3rd goal how that wasnt given either? But cant fault the team tonight enrique was brilliant just thought henderson deserved to stay on drop into the mid where shelvey came into. sturridge,Coutinho if we had them tonight different story as the bench looked weak."
"... Have just read some of these comments and can only conclude that some "fans" are beyond idiotic. How can you blame Rodgers for bringing in subsutes? You would think bringing in fresh legs would be a good thing when your players are getting tired, no?"
"Carra can be proud. Lucas needs to be given the opportunity to inject a bit of his own personal tough-mindedness into the entire team. We can play any team in Europe off the pitch with this Lucasesque att*tude."
"I am with you guys about the jonjo sub, he did himself no favors tonight. That sub slowed the game down to much. He constantly fouls and just kills momentum. He needs to work that out. Was not happy with that sub."
"Cozen CLASS A CLOWN!!! Carra made one error in the whole game and has been such a huge player over so many years how dare you slate him for one error.what did Enrique do wrong tonight he was brilliant tonight one of the best games ive seen him play for us and set up the 2nd goal constant threat down the left and defended really well. You say idiot? its clear who the IDIOT cleary you"
"Huge, valiant effort from the lads! Suarez and Gerrard were immense. I really thought after Suarez scored, we'd do it but it wasn't to be. I have to blame this defeat on Rodgers. We were 3 goals up and building momentum and he makes a double subsution! What are you doing!? MANAGERIAL NAIVETY! When playing that well, never sub anyone!"
"agree with you KidofKop88! Proud of the lads but disappointed that Carra chose to quit his european career in that way. A pity to see Luis crying at the end, has he maybe launched us a sign for next summer?... sigh...sigh... YNWA"
"A great performance from the players but the manager got it wrong again,why did he bring on Shelvey he took the pressure of Zenith.Once again Rodgers is learning at our expense,or is he.Y.N.W.A."
"Furthermore, this took us back to the good old days tonight. I haven't felt so tense, so emotionally drained, so hyped all at the same time since 4-2 vs Arsenal in 2008. I could sense it in the atmosphere, which possesses the players. This is the dawn of a new European era..."
"Gutted! With Brendan, we aint going to win any cups. I don't want to see Suarez leaving us, it should be Brendan who should leave. We should get workd class managers. Rafa's Chelsea made it to europa league's next stage."
"Pity about result lads! Great effort by all but esp Suarez and Enrique...you were superb. Allen played better than normal.
Sorry Carragher..
it was a costly error..pity!! Enjoyed game. YWNA"
"Moreover, please STOP with the tika-taka in our own 18 yard box. Numerous occasions we actually tried to pass it out of danger and failed - I couldn't believe my eyes at times. Even if Rodgers says so, ignore him and HOOF IT UP THE PITCH!"
"i couldn't ask more from the players. they put heart and soul into the game. but the decisions that sometimes the manager make is bad. when you are doing good in a game you don't make changes. but overall it was good night "
"Brendan, You will walk alone! Brendan should be sacked end of the season, get a world class manager, otherwise Liverpool will remain a mid table team. Brendan can't attract international player. He can only bring in Swansea kind of players."
"played well but season over before march !!! tom werner said we could compete financially with anyone in football. he is going to have to prove this if we really are to progress and be challenging for honours. this season cannot be repeated next season"
"The players were fantastic tonite and just plain unlucky...I believe we will be a force to reckon with next season...all we need is to find the levels of consistency and we will send shivers down opposition spines! YNWA"
"that's us out of every possibility of winning anything at all this season. any great individual results will just feel like pre season friendlies or practice matches. it has been an incredibly hard season to endure and it's not over yet. we may just amuse ourselves by suppporting all manu's opponents for the rest of the season and hope they cheer us up by beating manu."
"Talkey, Talkey, Tacky, Tacky, Tiki Taki all flipping season and all we've left is Ticky, Tocky for several long months to endure until next season, what a bore!! "
"Great effort by the players. Gerrard and Suarez were outstanding. Shelvey for Allen halted the momentum. Wrong decision in fact i would not have changed anyone although Assaidi did well. "
"Great team and fans effort, disappointed for the result. Suarez unbelievable free kick (2nd). Don't think the subs or their timing were right but if they show that effort til the end of the season... who knows???"
"We must now focus on the PL and finish as high as possible. Top 4 is going to be difficult but not impossible. Hope Suarez beats Van Persie for the golden boot that would be one over the Mancs."
"Excellent all-round performance, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Yes, we are out, but we hold our heads high due to our excellent performance. On our day, Liverpool F.C are a match for anyone. Keep this momentum going......"
"Luis Suarez was BRILLIANT tonight! Real, class act! I bet FT was watching tonight wishing he was playing alongside him. Looking forward to seeing a full season with SAS. "
"Can't complain too much that was an excellent performance especially after conceding the early goal. Shame to go out after that, probably the subsutions killed the momentum although Assaidi looked pretty good. Hopefully, we can finish the season strongly and get at least a UEFA spot."
"Great game great atmosphere but gutted with result. The whole ground was electric. I was in the kop but could have been anywhere in the ground. The players gave their all. We Rent quite there yet but I was proud of them tnight. We went down with a fight and not a whimper. YNWA"
"The guys did very well; I can't fault them at all. It was very sad to see Carragher's European career end like this. Just give us a performance like this for the rest of this season and we will be playing in the Champions League next season."
"Bringing Shelvey on killed the game. Bad subs. Should have just added Assaidi and thats it.
Enrique had one of his best games ever! Shame Johnson was quiet"
"i feel for Suarez after 2 great free kicks..i hope he wins Golden Boot..he does have a dirty side though (stamp on Zenit player), which he really does not need, cause he is a world class player..heads high boys YNWA"
"Just want to say how proud I am! We have come on so much under Brendan, give him time and we will be right up there! Suarez and Sturridge partnership is amazing, hopefully Suarez doesn't leave:( as many people seem to think he will! Please don't leave Suarez! We love you! YNWA"
"You can hold your heads up high with pride lads dont you worry about that, you've done everybody atached to LFC VERY proud today, we hold no grudges against you, you all did very well and exactly what we wanted to see the magic was back at Anfield tonight and you all deserved much better. You'll Never Walk Alone!"
"on a positive note, i saw glimpses of pool playing the barca way...shame that they tire towards the end.Suarez was class but at times he overdid simple stuff. Now lets regroup and aim for 4th. "
"Well done lads - you were great tonight . Keep it up to the end of the season and you never know we might still get 4th spot still.
Summer signings -ALONSO,HONDA,TORRES AND ROBBEN = GREAT TIMES AHEAD = YOUR NEVER WALK ALONE."

"Loz99 - GJ is probably one of the best attacking full backs in the EPL his job in those situations is to get hard low balls into the box, it is then the attacking 3 with midfield front runners job to get in the box. You stupid boy!!"
"really well played what a game it was..this was never our aim...we developed good plyers through this competition....suarez was brilint!!..so was lucas...proud...just cant understnd why dont we play every game like this!??..
hope suarez is there next seson!..
ganpati bappa morya!!..:D
YNWA "
"poor suarez man. yes he missed alot of chances in the 1st leg but he more than made up for it yesterday with his awesome freekicks. he looked so sad."
"well i agree with some comments. i think rodgers might have killed of the balance in the team with the subsitutions. but then rodgers probably wanted to add some more attacking minded players and thought assaidi n shelvey(who scored 5goals this comp) would help."
"thanks alot reds for giving us fans a great game. oh God i just hate to see suarez upset like that but you know i think we were bound to go out of this sooner or later with lack of enough firepower. though i must say it hurts alot that the other prem teams all managed to qualify."
"Just sad to see suarez...really hope the team wont let him down in the last 11 games. I have to say,without him,liverpool would be much worse. hes been the vocal point for brendan rodgers to atrract players. YNWA Suarez"
"Great game & proud to be the Reds. Unfortunately the sub didn't work out as Brendan tried to bring the width that we lacked of before our third goal. Thought players should switched side a bit quicker & Shelvey's shot should hv at least hit on target..."
"Am proud with the way the players showed character its sad that we bowed out with an away goal rule but the guys were fantastic Long Live JAMIE You'll always be a KOP in our hearts. YNWA, Joel "
"last night , has showed the rest of liverpool fc , if we dont get 6th suarez has gone . we need to just win the rest of are games an try keep are players and get somemore in . "
"Great effort. I've got nothing but praise for everyone involved...players, manager, and fans. Never seen Suarez show such passion. If we can play that kind of football on a weekly basis then we'll be Champions in no time! Well done boys. Proud to be a Liverpool fan today."
"shelvey was a mistake for win this match. Brendan never took him to game. Hendo and Allen was better. after they subsute, liverpool stop the atack. and sterling still lose the ball. when this boy learn dont lose ball. he kills all attacks..."
"Shelvey is not consistently first team quality yet. Assaidi should be given opporunities. Sign Luis for life and get Carra to extend for a year... YNWA"
