"Great performance by all players but I doubt if Shelvey was the right subsution.Brendan please also note the importance of away goal as you are new to this competition."
"Start preparing for Nrext Season BR. Rest Lucas and Gerard and develop their backups. Give more chances to coatez, coutinho, assadi, kelly, sterling, wisdom to get experience, more chances for sturridge to get used to of his new role. "
"wow we were playing wonderful football before rogers screwed up with the subs if not for wrong decisions made by rogers we would have scored the much needed 4th goal . we slowed the tempo after the subs came in and could have even conceded goals later on in the match. "
"well done tonight lads.and well done the fans best atmosphere i have seen in anfield for a while and well done BR for messing with the team when we clearly had them pinned in there half and looked like we were about to get goal number 4
"
"Yes, a fantastic display, proud of the lads. Big fan of BR, but when the team is playing that well and has scored 3 goals, why change things? If it ain't broke, no need to fix it. Another valuable lesson."
"respect boyz, you did me proud..i wont throw my shirt away just yet..in fact, if we had scored the 4 we needed, i would have bought another - hold your heads up..may be a good thing really cause now just concentrate on the EPL"
"great effort tonight , the lads gave everything..We screwed up in the away game.
My main concern is that we wont be able to retain Suarez next year, he's definetly a WORLD CLASS PLAYER.
ps: Assaidi needs his chance! whats wrong with him"
"BR made changes at the wrong time..boys had momentum, should have kept it going...proud of the boys though, fabulous effort, drive, determination...why cant they play like this every week? Suarez needs to be playng Champions League!"
"Now lets play like this till the end of season. Assiadi,Jonjo and Suso sud be given more game times so they can be more useful in games like today.YNWA!"
"It looks like 4th is out of reach but heck we should give it all we've got in every remaining match, miracles can happen, let's finish this season off with a real firecracker of a finish, why not?"
"i see Liverpool FC becoming a threat to any opposition in next two season at most. The fans are great tonight, also the manager is doing a great job well done red."
"It was an heroic performance; very proud of the players and our club as always. Luis Suarez is one of the most gifted, committed and team oriented players I've ever seen. Can we please sign him up for his entire career? YNWA"
"Good peptalk from bren, we needed it! Good game but has been a product of our season so far. When we start winning games without having to play maximum every single time and when we dont keep making rods for our backs then rodgers is right, we will savor many more great european nights! Just have to be patient all and the good stuff will follow"
"I think rodgers was spot on with the subs. After the fourth we lost some steam.In fact i was yelling at the guys that we needed one more, not to relax!!That was a supreme effort and we needed new legs.Its nor rodgers fault his bench sucks! I think if we had sturridge and coutinho we would have won this by 5 goals!"
"BR did a good job in his first season with so many new players and new style of play. I think we can build and will be looking forward for the next season. Wegner has so much knowledge and experience and has been with Arsenal so many years and may end up with not even in the top four this season."
"If we get 5th and finish above neverton we are back in europe? once again in the europa league? But I think next season we should make an assault on the le. Forget the cups!"
"on a diff not i figured out why the word t.i.t.l.e is nver completed it ends up as le! Its because of the first three letters reading t.i.t. as in b.o.o.b.s "
"We walked away with honour, and Im happy you made consequent subs and went all in for the result, nothing bad today I just feel sad that this happened to Carra in his 150th for us and in his last season"
"Not to worry lads. You guys fought hard and won the game and unfortunately crashed out due to an away goal rule. We'll come back strong next season thats for sure. "
"well we are out but we went out with a fight and like many liverpool fans im really proud to be a RED, LFC 4 LIFE I think where it went wrong was in the first leg at zenit. It was a bad time to play zenit because we just had lost to west brom."
"Had a great night at a great game with great support. Hoarse voice now but hey it was so worth it. Pity about that one slip up in an otherwise perfect performance by all players.
We need to show something approaching this kind of support at ALL our games. "
"Great team great famoly. I'm glad joe scored. No doubt the lads gave their best. What if DS and cotinoh eligible to play?
As I've said this is a winning team.
Keep on keeping on."
"Fantastic game, players and kop,.... but Brendan, why making changes in the precise moment the team was doing brilliantly? also, improve the defense, no way to start tiki taka from the back. Thanks. "
"Great Game tonight, shame we do not progress, Next Year eh!!
YNWA Well Done Boys, Well Done BR, Anfield Atmosphere was awesome to listen to in NZ, wished I was there.
Come On you reds, lets get up the epl and finish on a high"
"Before the game started, some of you were questioning BR for going with Allen & Henderson; when they were sub some you ask why they are sub. All I see is BR put a team to challenge and win the tie and we nearly did. "
"After the 3rd goal, Zenit up their tempo and that is why it may seem like the subs slowed down the game when is actually Zenit closing up higher up the pitch. We cant keep sacking our manager, it takes time to build so lets start here. "
"Hopefully this eason has taught BR that its not just the fans who have to be patient. Its also himself. I believe in what you are trying to do but do it in small steps as you build your own team. In the meantime stop trying to turn cart horses into racehorses and learn to play to the strengths of the players that you have. We dont have a Tiki Taka squad yet."
"Soon Michael Ngoo will bulk up and become our own Hulk. Meanwhile, we most definitely must get in another top quality striker AND a rightsided winger in the summer."
"This is the reason why we needed to recruit! FSG took some time, but are understanding at the same time.
Nonetheless, great Manager, great players, great team, and and a massive fan base. We're looking forward to next season!!!"
"I think shelvey was a good sub. Enjoyed the solid tackle he put in on the mighty hulk! Wish we had hulk, i said that after the first leg also.Hulk was pretty much the difference for zenit in both legs. Over the summer we def need a few signings along those lines, strong but with great technique, not one or the other."
"AFter this defeat, that led me wondering if suarez will stay with us next season by looking at his body language after the match. Hope he will though STAY.
It was a brilliant performance today, it was unfortunate not to make it through. "
"I can definately see an offer of £45 - £50 Million Pounds being made for Suarez, in the summer, by one money bags club or another.
And it worries me what's gonna happen when it does... And trust me, it will! ð"
"In might be a blessing in disguise. We can now concentrate on being as high up as we can in the EPL wheras our other main opponents will tire and get injuries from playing more games! Ee can also look forward to Suarez, Sturridge and Coutinho playing as our triple strike force! Proud to be a Red! YNWA!"
"A great club manage by mid. table manager who has nothing glory and trophies.
The best result will be in 7th position. BR and his management staff are sucks."
"The support was amazing, well done to the kop . It was probably a bridge too far when we conceded the goal but the lads gave it their all and I am very proud of them all.
If we continue to play like this in the remaining 11 games we will finish well up the table."
"Hey Matt-C. So who asked for my head? I just noticed that you had disabled my The Kop account. FSG? Mr Rodgers? Ian Ayre? Christian Purslow? Continued. "
"You do know, don't you, that I will still be around supporting Liverpool under one guise or another long after FSG, Mr Rodgers AND Ian Ayre are gone. No apologies. "
"Nights like this show that you will truly never walk alone!!
Just one thing that's becoming hard to watch is the square passes in front of our own penalty box!! Especially with 10 minutes to go. Perhaps that's when you need to have a big man to come on and pinch a goal!!Do we have one?"
"I loud good performances but refuse to celebrate mediocre performances, we have been poor all season. Some things have to change and having a winning mentality should be the daily bread not blowing hot and cold under the guise of playing good football."
"I think when you spend 300 million on a club to clear their debts and save them from total destruction...I think fsg have proved they belong. More than some of the faker fans on here"
"That might take a while coz i can see ayre, fsg and rodgers going to be here anohter 20 years hahah. But yes trolls will always be trolling in one guise or another fer sure."
"oh should have seen reina when we conceded that goal. he was clearly angry with our defenders even though he was clapping his hands and smiling. it was upsetting to concede so stupidly. rodgers needs to cut off backward passing from the game coz its not helping."
"Boy Oh Boy, what a game of football! As a fan, It's performances like these that make you proud! What a European night! Anfield was deafening, to say the least! Yes, we're the world's best football family and we proved it last night, there's no two ways about it! Chin - up, lads!...YNWA!!"
"The away goals is another relic of soccer and should be done away.Fans of this sport put up with so much mediocrity when it comes to officiating and rulemaking.Zenit beat us 2-0 and we beat them 3-1.Its even isnt it?I know away goal is "harder" to get but thats not a good rule for eliminating a team.If its like this maybe a penalty shootout is in order."
"so proud of liverpool at the moment.all i can think is if we played like that against zenit and we play like that in every other game this season we just might get 4th. BR did make the mistake with the subs, but hey, he has learned what he done wrong which only makes him better he is still learning as much as the other players. YNWA"
"a big,big thankyou to all the liverpool supporters who attended the match on behalf of those who werent able to. atmosphere should be that way in every home game. it would be awesome."
"come on guys give brendon a break. true he prob got the subsitutions wrong but its clear his reasons behind those subsitutions. he wanted to add more attacking threat. maybe he subsituted them a little too early."
"Lets not wrap luis in cotton wool, he doesnt want that from fans.All this namby pamby stuff about will he stay, oh no moneybags will get its just BS.Luis was there in the 1st leg wasnt he?All played badly there.Its not like suarez was the only guy playing well in the second.bsides luis has said he will stay without CL.So give it a rest."
"a-red-4-life 5.52...great to hear that! Your son will now spread the word about the atmosphere which inspired his team to claw its way back into the tie and very nearly put us through. Over the 2 legs we were the better side but a few errors and a few missed chances cost us - roll on next season!"
"A good performance from the lads but not great from everyone. Johnson wasn't on his game, neither was Henderson - Downing, as ever, is just a nice, tidy footballer but has no tricks, speed or tenacity - Suarez needed Sturridge to work off - Assaidi and Allen are lacking confidence - and finally, Suso should have come on not Shelvey!..."
"Couldn't fault the effort and the crowd was the crowd of yesteryear - applause all round!!! Why can't we do this week in, week out to inspire our team to victory! It's going to take a massive effort now to get something out of the season - we want it, how much do they?"
"BR is responsible for being out. He made a big mistake for the 2 subsutes while Liverpool were doing well. Why the hell did he do this change?. This season's losses and draws were either due to BR wrong squad or wrong changes during the match. Also, Reina played a big role in losing points.
But what to do, we still Loooooove you LFC.
"
"can i just say , I know we lost last night but by GOD did ye play some great football and its only a matter of time before we win something playing like that, YNWA"
"I,m sick of all you moaners,br has done a good job so far and we've got a good squad.We played really well last night but still you moan.The squad is a w.i.p. so i'm looking forward to next season."
"Great effort last night. So sad that Carra made what was the costly mistake on his final European appearance. One thing that maybe a concern is the players atude now there is nothing to play for! Thanksfully we have a run of winable games that will hopefully keep momentum going. "
"Feel we could mirror last season. We got to a point where there was no more cups to win, no chance of 4th and our players effectively took and early holiday in Feb/March. Thus KD was judged with performances from Jan/Feb onwards which were appalling TBF but is often the case when a team has nothing to play for. the season is over now, let's get ready for next season."
"hinny11; face it, whether we played well or not, we are out of all of the competitions this season. Winning trophies is what matters. BR made allot of mistakes this season. "
"very proud of LFC, allen played well, good to see him returning to form. shelvey (who I like) did not look great again, and sterling seems to have dwindled a little, but he will come back to form, a real shame, but some amazing football played against very very good opposition."
"There will be nothing to celebrate with FSG and BR here. Except BS and excuses. Saurez was sublime, but the rest of the team didn't do much. Season Over I February. We didn't even look like competing fro anything this season.The worst in memory. "
"£300m was cheap for LFC. Look at the revenues.FSGare like the clown who buys a Range Rover because he thinks he is getting a lot of car for the money and then realises he cant afford the fuel. This club will ALWAYS be mid table under FSG, hence our Manager who ahs only been in the prem a couple of seasons."
"This is a good example of reasonable PR, and plenty are falling for it. "How to put positive spin on defeat"...easy. You say we are all in this together. Kenny didn't get this despite a cup and an FA final. BUt then Kenny wasn't a cheap FSG mouthpiece like BR. People are commenting like we won last night!...we were kicked out of the Europa. "
"The only way we are going to compete next season is if FSG stump up £100m for players and £150m for 70,000 seats. If they wont do that, they should sell to someone who will and concentrate on baseball. "
"mushroomscouser67 and CommanderCool you are both plastic fans. FSG cleared our debts and have appointed a good young manager who plays modern and beautiful football. look how far we have come since last year. if you dont support us when we lose, dont support us when we win. go away and support the united s you gloryhunters"
"Watched game on TV. Gerrard interview (pre game) was spot on and Fowler agreed. The youngsters haven't done anything yet. I am sure both players have seen far better talent than Suso and Sterling come to nothing. Fowler himself I feel could of done a lot more with his talent. "
"These youngsters that some people where going well over the top with on these pages with their appraisals are not ready. Last nights team was about the best we could of played - Sturridge in/Allen out maybe. Yes youngsters are maybe exciting and could represent the future of LFC but some fans have taken to the Old British trait of building players into superstars at an early age. "
"Great all around performance!Just thinking aloud here about the mistake that carra made which led to hulk's goal. It's just so similar to one that skrtel committed against man city if I'm not mistaken. Brendan would be well advised to instruct them to apply old school 'standing order';when in doubt, just kick the ball out or clear upfield.
LIVERPOOL TO RULE THE WORLD!!!"
"i think a few peeps on ere wanna look up the word SUPPORT, then try supporting this great club o ours. Great effort last night by all the lads. Single error last night n plenty o missed chance last week cost us. But we havbe terrific manager n owners and the future looks bright for our fantastic club. YNWA"
"Yes Sterling maybe quicker than Downing and be more direct. But Sterling loses the ball far more and his postional sense isn't the best. Jonjo maybe more direct than Henderson and his style may mirror Gerrard -power/pace/range of passing. But he is a very poor mans version at present, often running round like a headless chicken. "
"Hendo on the other hand is far better positionally, better tackler and doesn't give the ball away as much as Jonjo. Been a very intruiging season. Rookie manager, new style of play and playing young exciting players but the reality is= keeping shape, discipline and ball retention are far more effective than cavalier football played with so many kids. "
"Gerrard I feel was implying to the owners to spend. We are LFC one of the richest clubs in world football. Less excuses for owners and please certain people stop going on about FSG saved us and BR inherited a mess. "
"Other parties interested in buying club and BR inherited a group of players that only 5 other managers in the Prem wouldn't swap their squad for. Yeah sure BR could of taken over in better cirstances but hardly inherited a mess. essay over ;) "
"RedThroughandThrough
22nd Feb 2013 8:07.You are talking rubbish. We won a cup last year and got to a final. Dalglish made progress. This season has been a disaster and the football has been generally poor. You clearly love mid table dross. Instead of accusing people of being plastic you should looks at facts before you talk crap."
"its easier to defend a 2 goal advantage than overcome a 2 goal deficit. so the advantage was theirs all the time. but what an effort. truly great performance. do the same for the next 12 games and we'll see what happens. ynwa."
"I'm still behind BR all the way. I'd defiantly give him next season because like he says we will be in a much better position come the start of next season. There's no point sacking him then getting a new manager with new ideas and then were back to square 1. Next season if he doesn't get top 4 then I can't back him anymore. YNWA"
"BR's first season in charge has already exceeded my expectations. Given the young squad and lack of depth i did not expect so much adrenalin in so many games. Rock on BR!!!"
"got to agree with most comments, Rogers if its not broke dont try and fix it, and of course the glorious pass back by our jamie thats the one that lost us the game"
"ANI-ROAD-08 well said spoken like a true red without the blinkers on. Brendan will keep his job, but if he's not in the top four after 10 games next season he should be sacked. All this bull about having a weak squad is rubbish. Unlike many here I don't over excited about one or two good games. Overall this season we have been crap."
"And all the flattery of star players and then in contrast the shifting of blame to the younger players to hide his tactical naivety and his constant BS to the media doesn't fool me one bit. Brendan should say less and focus on one thing, making LFC a consistent winning team. He has failed to do that so far and he's had plenty of games to prove himself. "
"Dominate what mr. rodgers? did we even make their keeper work?how many clear cut chances did we have or how many attempts on goal did we have for that matter?"

"Dominate what mr. rodgers? did we even make their keeper work?how many clear cut chances did we have or how many attempts on goal did we have for that matter?"
"your decision to play joe allen who is similar to lucas & henderson & who has no interest in a forward play,doest have the courage or ability to even turn when he receives a pass and try to make something and contribute with something to team is just baffling? you have wasted 30 m after slaughtering kenny's signings. u did even worse."
"Considering his recent form felt Joe Allen did ok last night. Like many of our players over recent times has struggled for consistency, this is not to say he cannot turn it around if supporters are prepared to give him a chance (e,g Lucas) I think the majority would if we are playing good football as illustrated last night remembering we were also without Sturridge and Coutinho."
"open your eyes & mushroomscouser - cheers guys. Like yourselves I expect high standards from LFC. This season we have fallen so far behind that even rival fans don't take the mick so much, infact they pity us! We have been Fulham/Sunderland standard all season yet many use -'iherited a mess', 'cagey and asstute owners' and transision as an excuse for medocrity. "
"yesterday was an amazing performance full of passion and pride. but Im still not convinced by tiki taka at the back. I'd much prefer the CBs and GK to clear their lines and then allow midfielders to look for the second ball."
"Biggest irony being last season when all though we could of done better in league, we reached 2 finals/ won one and there was a general feeling of optimism with KD. "
"Supporters where in harmony but for a couple of people who I bet never attend games, descend from the home counties who this season accept a dire league position, out of 2 domestic cups early and the only English team to get knocked out of Europa so far. Yet these people call us fickle, hypocrites and naive! Even have the audacity to say the FA Cup is non-significant- Try telling a scouser that!"
"Great atmosphere on the Kop last night but why only for European nights?Could it be more "local" support for evening matches? BR subsutions again questionable, we had momentum with Allen and Henderson which was then lost, not as if they needed to be rested for this weekend. As for Shelvey, could somebody please explain to me what he brings to the team?"
"Come on folks, keep the faith!we will push for at least a Europa spot and continue building through the summer. Great performance last night, thought Lucas was motm for me. Lets get our atmosphere back at every game. Last night was great and "most" people stayed for whole game. Come on fans, big up the singing and stop the early exits,L"
"5fivetimes you must have been watching a different match - we scored 3 not 4, thanks to the loony subsutions by BR. What was he thinking? Oh, he wasn't."
"BR,it was a great occasion even if we didnt play that well in the final third, in terms of clear goalscoring chances. And I am still very confused as to why you made changes when we went 3-1.Surely you should have given it another 10-15 mins.Inexperience. "
"Has Brendan not brought the best out of Luis Suarez this season and since the signing of Daniel Sturridge are we not producing our most flowing forward play for at least a couple of years? I for one have never (unfortuantely) got to go to Anfield as yet or take any satisfaction in our league position however I am realistic enough to see a bigger picture. "
"cont..
In an ideal world we would win everything we enter however this is unrealistic given the financial powers that other clubs enjoy over us currently. Throw into the mix are stadium size disadvantage (commercial turnover) and you will see why we are unable to compete as we did in say the eighties when we were the most "
"cont..
dominant side not only in England but in Europe as well (on and of the pitch).
That said we at least it appears now have plans to "build for the future" not only our stadium but have a system in place to build a team for the future. There will be difficult days but I for one look forward to the future with an optimisim for better days (and hopefully trophies)ahead.
"
"Great night, unfortunately we are now out of three cups and only have the league left. We need to get that 5th spot and get back into Europa. Anything less and we have had a poor season. Well done to the fans..brill"
"STUDEN- well written lad. I can be negative although i'd say more realistic. But sometimes you have to take factors ito consideration when assessing the team. You did raise some good points in fairness mate. "
"But whilst we can't compete with Mani, city andso on financially, we mustn't be fooled into thinking we can't spend big. Gerrard hinted at it, the presenter and Fowler grasped it. We need big players and not just hope kids with huge talent actually make it."
"the hardest job now can we keep hold of suarez world class player who needs to be playing with the best in champions league,lets hope we can get fourth place,he has been are light this season."
"Different sunject. Although Hulk scored a good goal in 1st leg and scored last night, I don't get what all the hype is about? Same with Ibrahimovic. Both obviously must play well, just that everytime they seem to play in Europe and I get to see them, I don't know what the fuss is aboout! #justsaying"
"The Clear progress we have made this season is outstanding, the team play proper football, building a proper rounded squad, playing players in the correct positions to get the best experience for them, talented youngsters being given a chance to shine and stake a claim, competition for places (for once) not just a favoured first 11,"
" really looking forward to BR and FSG being here for a long time!!! The PROGRESS the claim has made rebuilding over the last season has been a monumental task but although as we all knew this season was going to be one of transition, which any knowledgeable fan knew it would be, we will get there now we BR has laid the Right foundations.!!!!!!!"
"last comment did not read right, but oh well you get the message I think! Just a few experienced players to come in in the summer as BR has planned for and it will be all systems go! We are very very lucky to have FSG as our owners, most fans can see their!"
"RealLonewar Good points. But u say most fans are happy with FSG! Who? The fans at the match? Fans around cafe's and bars in Liverpool or people who write on this site? "
"What I see on this site is the odd over the top appraisal of Liverpool by the odd few. People who speak highly of FSG are enti-tled to their opinion and I respect yours. But your 'most fans back FSG' claim is unfounded and from the general feeling I have had- total nonsence"
"You see there are people who back BR. There are people who don't. Each camp goes out of their way, disputing facts, dressing up dross, or on the other hand, fans who maybe should be more patient. I tend to not have a camp other than the Anti-FSG camp. "
"But some of the backing for medocrity and LFC's season is ridiculous similarly some of the negativity from the other camp at times. BR is an in-experienced manager with more failures than success and now in charge of a global insu-tion- FACT. We have had the worst season in my living memory so far. "
"So to herald BR as a genius is getting a bit OTT and defensive. As I say, give him another season and we will see. Anyway, day off work. Trying to stay away from LFCTV can take up too much of my time... Maybe back later"
"GREAT GAME! irregardless of the result i am very proud of u guys and keep your heads up high cause next season is ours... FSG pls keep on BR he's doing great and imo will carry us up in the future"
"rodgers blew it as usual hendo,downing and allen a waste of space lucss and gerrard brilliant but why didnt he put the subs on earlier. hes had over forty games in charge time for him to go there needs to be a clear out in summer and mega money spent. we wont get fourth were out of cup competions taxi for rodgers"
"rodgers blew it as usual hendo,downing and allen a waste of space lucss and gerrard brilliant but why didnt he put the subs on earlier. hes had over forty games in charge time for him to go there needs to be a clear out in summer and mega money spent. we wont get fourth were out of cup competions taxi for rodgers"
"Taking on a manager at a big club is always a gamble. Will Manure go for a big name or go for a promising manager when Fergie quits? Liverpool sadly didn't seem to have a choice.- Big managers knocked us back and even Martinez turned us down! So we get Brendan. Great coaching experience like Steve Mclarren, Steve Clarke and say Brian Kidd but untested in the managers hot seat."
"Kidd and Mclarren never did much as a manager when they got their chance, both more suited to coaching. BR one good season at Swansea. So it was a huge gamble made by people with no idea of football but in fainess have been successful in other sporting ventures (FSG). We have had the worst season in my living memory, yet I/we have to take small shades of comfort from the odd good performance. "
"Mourinio, Pep and other great managers would be feeling the heat if they just had a first season at LFC like BR has, even a management great like KD who did better wasn't given time. Dif with Pep's and Jose to BR is that they can throw their CV at you and say 'this is what I have done, have patience. BR sadly can't. "
"Although I say persevere with BR I also think it is a huge gamble on someone with no success (infact more failure), barely any experience of managing players (just cloaching) and possibly come of the worst season in 40 odd years. Right, off out! "
"i cant tell you how much i enjoyed the game last night and overall, this season. the football that has been played is wonderful to watch and i really think, moving forward, we can progress up the league. well done everyone involved, players staff and fans. lets try to recreate that for the rest of the season :D ynwa "
"It's a shame we just came up short but that was a performance to be proud of from both players and fans. Imagine if Anfield was like that every home game... I believe with that atmosphere and Sturridge eligible to play we would batter teams"
"Last night proved were the best supporters in the world, some supporters said we've lost our voices, on that note I would say were stronger than ever, even 1 down we got behind our beloved, well played lads and well played to the Kopites there, you both gave 100%, onwards and upwards, still baffled about the subs though"
"I've always been one of the first to support Shelvey and his undoubted potential but is it just me or did it seem weird when, just before he was about to come on and Suarez scored that wonderful free kick, he didn't celebrate at all. Just a mere clap of his hands a few times. You would think he would go crazy and would be buzzing about now coming on.. Or am I just crazy lol"
"Clearly the subsutions after our third goal is a hot topic of conversation as to the "tactial nous" of Brendan, but has anything actually been said as to why he made these subsutions when he did? "
"SACK SACK SACK SACK SACK HIM!! And PLEASE FSG Go Home! You are a disgrace and any LFC fan who is deluded enough to think that BR is doing a good job is not a fan and is employed by FSG! What has the clown done since being in the job? Improve KD's LFC team? STOP IT!! KD was doing fine till the Circus owner Jono Henry sacked him. Bring back RAFA and do it now! ACK SACK SACK SACK SACK BR! "
"Was a great performance and the fans too. If we can play as good as this with the same fighting spirit, we can go far...some teams above us can colapsed like last season"
" I admit we simply cant sack another manager and start all over again and we cant get rid of the baseball men either but we seriously need better scouts and a better buyer of players. apart from sturridge, who has Br bought? Apart from Luis,who did Kenny buy?"
"That was lovely to watch and I had goose bumps listening to the Kop make noise.
Can you imagine the damage we could have done if Coutinho and Danny werenâ"
"Brendan is only young as are most of the squad, so he is on a learning curve as well. However, he should not have made the subsutions when we scored the third as we had the momentum then."
"Brendan is only young as are most of the squad, so he is on a learning curve as well. However, he should not have made the subsutions when we scored the third as we had the momentum then."
"What a match- the goals were great and the play too but the best bit was after Hulk score just hearing, louder than before, LFC supporters cheerring on the team- top quality fans! Should of been a penalty, obvious handball, he even moved his shoulder down so he could block the ball with his arm. Oh well, more promise and 33 points to go! "
"300 million is cheap?even for lfc?what kind of DELUDED alternate reality you living in man? Besides THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE.Maybe fsg was a bottom of the barrel offer and if your rfering to dic the only others who showed interest , they are close to bankruptcy and were taking loans going.would have left lfc in complete chaos.So take the fsg hate elsewhere pal.Id rather they were than fakers like you"
"I think shelvey was the wrong choice, not becoz of skill but i think he has issues just now, with the fans and his purpose at LFC.In a game like that we needed guys who have it together 100 percent.But the subs were needed, its not rodgers fault he has a lousy bench.If we had sturridge/coutinho we would have won that game."
"Lonewar, you say things like "any knowledgeable fan knew" & speak for "most fans". I don't think you could ever speak for most fans. Certainly not the fans you spent a year having a go at for backing KD. Now you seem very keen on everyone backing BR, with similar/ worse results than KD. Strange that.."
