Here we go. We will be talking the whole week praising one another. Eventually, lose the weekend's match and start crying. I don't want players to talk too much on how good/bad we are ? Does anyone agree with me ? I have never seen suarez talking every week. But he does all the talking on the pitch.
"Yet another silly "top four" article.. When do we learn and stop talking. Do the talking on the pitch, think only about the next game, like Kenny did. Brendan has taught the players one thing - talk like old women, too much. All this talking just irritates the fans. Win the remaining games and we have a chance. But you dont win by talking. "
"KidofKOP88 , spot on here we go again all this talk about top 4 then we lose , can we just take one game at a time and only talk, if they must about next game "
"I agree with you! i always get nervous after we start bigging ourselves up! If we just play the way we did against zenit (without the mistakes) then we should finish in the mid 60's points wise... but less talking, more doing please boys!! YNWA"
"I Agree, but the site has to be able to put something up..
But on the other hand some good vibes and confidence from the payers gives us the supporters the feel of the squad.."
"I agree with ya KidifKop88, Then BR will say "I cant ask anymore of the players"! He should be asking more of them though like, why aren´t you burying more of these guilt edged chances we keep creating? They are all guilty of this even Suarez! He should be on 30 lg goals by now!"
"Henderson doing the Harlem Shake. And yes I do agree with Kid, wouldn't be surprised if a few more articles like these come out. Lets just smash Wigan for now, not dreaming of 4th! YNWA!"
"Hate these articles. Yes, there is a chance of 4th. Clubs ahead have a more difficult run in and have various other distractions -FA Cup, Europa and so on. But whilst I can see them dropping points, there is no way I can see us getting anywhere near maximin points so I tend to agree with Kid of the kop andmost others on here. Pipe down top4 talk!"
"stop putting unnecessary pressure on yourselves Jordan.i think supporters have accepted that top 4 finish is a distant dream this season.just do your best to finish as high as you possibly can this season.champions league spot is a must next season.no excusses about luck/laerning or ish like that will be acceptable.YNWA"
"Top 4 was gone after the Arsenal game. This team is not Top 4 calibre. Doubtful even Top 6....it's just an average mid table squad. And that is the reality."
"Furthermore, from a personal point of view i have resigned myself to looking to next season. No more disapointment for me. I don't want to be all optimistic again only to suffer the agont again. No way wee can get top4. My hopes although bitter are that Manu don't win Prem (although unlikely not to) Manu don't win the Champs League (C'mon Madrid) and Everton finish behind us. "
"would be nice to finish 4th but 6th is more achievable, we need to stay in europe for the good of the club but if we can become more consistent in last few games who knows- never give up hope ynwa"
"I was looking at the fixtures for all the top six behind the Mancs and we are in with a shout, why not! Rodgers has added two exciting players in Mout and Sturry, the only weakness for me remains Lucas in Midfield and GJ looked haggard last week. But we have to live in hope. 1 game at a time lads.
YNWA "

"scousemolby96- Resigned to Suarez going mate. Sure we all want Champs League and are aware that no doubt Luis may leave without it! Think most people are being realistic based on our season so far rather than being negative. I for one am optimistic for next season should we get backed by the owners, this season for me finished against Zenit"
"Too much talk, blowing hot air for big failures on the pitch. We seems to overly praise wins and defeats are warded off with high praises of being unlucky at not able to score. Would the players return to the club their weekly wages for their failed weeks?? Then I believe it is time to put your money where your mouth is ..... On the pitch and win games
"
"same statement every week since first match this season. Stop to lie you fans. Anyone know fight for top 4 so impossible. Top 4: Crazy dream
Top 10: Maybe
Top 15: Sure"
"Seems its fairly obvious, LFC needs to fill it's channels with content and journos are paid to ask questions. Same as the players have media duties, especially for in house sources. If someone asks a player can you win, you'd all attack him for giving up. Can't win either way, but chill, getting upset solves nothing."
"I want Liverpool to win every game from now to the end of the season. Will we finish in top four if we do? No , its to late for that. Will it do us the fans the power of good to see Liverpool win twelve on the bounce , yes it will. Will it happen , doubtfull , thats why we should stop talking about fourth and concentrate on winning. "
"I agree too much talk. Actions speak louder than words.The quotation, "As empty vessels make the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest blabbers," is from the early English author William Baldwin.
"
"In all honesty , Champions league would be a real big mistake with the current squad. With the likes of Madrid , Barca , Bayern, Utd etc we could end up europes wipping boys and I really dont want to watch that. Besides ,any fool can see, Spurs are a far better team than us and far more worthy of the place."
"It's already been said but I think this image is hilarious. It looks like Suarez is comforting Gerrard after being decked by Henderson while the others look on in disbelief"
"It will be a tough ask to get top 4 now. The WBA and Villa games ended that really. Our key games (Spurs and Chelsea) are at home will may be decisive but only IF we win the other 9 games against weaker opposition. "
"Here we go again...more talk about irrelevant stuff. Have you looked at the points difference and than thought about under promising and over delivering? This just serves to increase fan frustration. Keep quiet and and play football for the right results."
"Top 4 was ruled out before the season even started Jordan so please just do your talking on the pitch like Suarez does. If you had said top 6 then yes, I would agree with you on that. "
"The only thing that matters is getting the three points from the next game! This goes on to the end of the season. The owners can then take the necessary action like they did at the end of last season! Sad we are not going to Wembley this year! Thanks BR! Oldham...."
"not a hope in hell sorry we will still be 12 to forteen points behind come may playing for pride and to keep suarez now
oh lets here the next thing if we finish above everton will be a good season lol"
"He is talking about top fur when they should be preparing to beat Wigan on Saturday!!
Lets see how the first of the 11 matches remaining goes, am sceptical. "
"hendo should go and sleep. Do he think he can play with the mind of SG, Lu, Dan and sua. see how they are looking at him especially lu like this guy is confuse."
"jodey: thanks for sharing that, I'd been waiting for someone to say that and clear things up. Well done mate. Keep up the comments my good friend, we need more people who talk sense like you.. Brilliant work fella."
"absolutely pathetic.. Talk is CHEAP... show us a run of games, you don't hear other teams with similar consistency talk about top four, you could just as talk about moon walking. When you have won the next five games you can say top four again until then its off limits "
"Can we please stop this top 4 talk!! Every time we win one game, out comes the stupid talk. Then we get beat! Here's an idea...be quiet, concentrate on the next game and try winning 5 in a row before you talk again!!"
"Totally agree with you KidofKop88, have been saying this every week. Our players talk too much, I don't see Spurs dropping points for us even WBA EVERTON,ARSENAL AND CHELSEA, maybe where we are is realistic. "
"i understand all these supporters saying we talk too much - which we do - but this is because all the reporters. if henderson refused to give this interview wat wud u say then. point rested"
"kidofkop88 got it spot on, every week we're singing the same song. but when we come up against teams under the number 10 mark shelvey and sterling come in and ruin any run of form we're having"
"In your dream Jordan just concentrate in your training and ways to secure 3 points against Wigan thst is it will help LFC to secure Europa League next season because I think six spot that is the highest position LFC will get this season."
"Always get a bad feeling when they start talking about top 4-0-seems like we then go out and play horribly. Maybe better to just talk about taking it one game at a time and see where we are in 5-6 games. "
"You people complaining as though the players go out of their way to do these interviews, you have no brains, it's obviously the clubs that asks them the questions and they have to answer them saying something positive, and how can u turn this into being Brendan's fault lol.......blame blame blame, that's all some of you are good for"
"Wouzer LFC if that is the case what you think then you should bear in mind LFC fans should not be driven into any illusions and remember about 10 12 weeksago Rodgers was talking about the le and now LFC are about 30 points behind Man U that is the reality so make up your mind."
"It`s good that the players are staying positive, but it would be better for them to focus fully on one game at a time. The team have played better when they`ve battled and less well when they`ve got ahead of themselves. Still, it`d be great to see them put a nice run together. Winning is a good habit to get into and there are fewer distractions now."
"The worst season I have ever seen! All there's been this season is a few good proformances but no results and when Westbrom are above us in the league at this stage of the season and also did the double on us says it all really, diabolical season with no good cup runs. Top 4 no chance! YNWA"
"Agree with u kidofkop88, excellent players aren't always available 4 interview cos they are always busy training 2 get better & better. Henderson is a good player but no way near excellent. If we can get 12 outta 12 from our next 4 games then everybody will start 2 show us respect and know we mean business in terms of UCL SPOTS."
"kidofkop..These guys are required to give these silly interviews.what do u expect them to say? Unlike you they dont have the luxury of being a pessimist, they have to be optimistic despite whatever they may really feel.Luis has said now he may goto bayern so i dont know where LFC will go from there if they sell off their best."
"Kidofkop88. I totally agree that we here too much talk in the build up to games. All I will say is that they don't ask to be interviewed all the time."
"Kidofkop88. I totally agree that we here too much talk in the build up to games. All I will say is that they don't ask to be interviewed all the time."
"This is a media site remember you clowns. He has been asked a question.. Imagine if he said 'I won't answer that because a minority of stupid 'fans' may feel that by answering you direct question my offer a sentiment that we are not focusing on the next game and are doing to much talking.."... GET A GRIP YOu MORONS. YNWA :)"
"OMG man. THEY ARE FOCUSING ON THE GAME> HE HAS BEEN ASKED A QUESTION AND THAT WAS HIS ANSWER. 'HEY JORDO, YOU THINK YOU'L MAKE TOP 4'... 'OH MATE, CANT ANSWER THAT COZ LIKE, I MIGHT GET ACCUSED OF NOT FOCUSING ON THE NEXT GAME'.. ARE YOU ALL ON ABOUT. KIDOFKOP, NO I DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU, YOU ABSOLUTE CLOWN."
"Btw, to those who are coming out with the 'Kenny didn't advocate this stuff'... You have very short memories because actually last season, we did get an article like this nearly every second week. Kenny may liked to have played it down, but believe me he is human and would have been always thinking about that top 4 because that was his job to get us there. Not win a E cup."
"These comments from our players and managers have to stop! Yes your right, don't give up, why should you? But do the talking on the pitch. And the day Brendan said about top 2? Seriously? We lost to Aston villa the day after that and we as a club looked very very silly that day. So please stop these nonsense articles and take one game at a time!"
"Kingwillis10
"we'll take each game as it comes and add the points up at the end of the season and see where we are" sound familiar?!
Whatever Kenny was thinking he never shared it! Way it should be!"
"Listen up - Media attention has no relevance to the success of a team unless that one person isn't performing. I think it's important for members of the team to feel comfortable telling us how they feel, don't crucify them for it."
"Jordan is playing for his life at the moment, and Stewie also on here a bit is playing some blinders. Suarez was a menace the other night and we were missing Danny Sturridge too who is on fire. Our team are capable as we are, we just need to fire on all cylinders no matter how important the match is!"
"I'm not sure if anyone's seen Jordan on the pitch recently, but I think he's a more naturally attacking-minded player. He's great at pressing players although needs to put that foot in there, and he's giving bags of energy right now. We're starting to fire up, but it's taking a while.."
"This season should not be measured on the placing in the premier league, as we've had a very rocky start but pretty quickly there were signs that Liverpool were evolving. Some youtube vids show great evidence of this - We are improving all the time. Defenders need work, someone to scream at em."
"That goal between Enrique Suarez and Danny was incredible though. All signs of the relationship building between players. Coutinho seems to have hit the ground running too. It's all encouraging so don't measure our success on the place this year. I don't think we'll be the finished product next year either. "
"I personally think realistically, if we can reinforce perhaps the defence and attack with one CB and one attacker, I think we stand a chance of challenging if Brendan can get 100% effort out of them consistantly. I predict not next year either but the following year we might have a damaging run if we don't clear any current players out."
"Always raising hopes off the pitch but killing morale on it. Top4 at this stage is meant for only consistently winning team if you doubt try and win all 11 and let's see who can stop us from qualifying...YNWA!"
"Looks like a comp between the lads to see if they can all make reference to getting into the top 4 before the season is out. Rafa used to always make the point in taking one game at a time and the next game being the most important whereas Kenny would say will add the points up and see where it gets us at the end of the season. No more talk please just collect the points."
"To be fair they were probably asked a direct question by the reporter about top 4 chances. He's just answered the question, not gone overboard. Goes without saying they're not gonna give up. None story really."
"The only way we could get 4th is if we have a faultless campaign until the end and also the other teams faultier. Since we haven't found consistency yet I can't see it. Spurs will take 4th or 3rd easy if Bale continues to perform like he did against the hammers. "
"It's good to hear we won't give up. Just hope it's true. Having heard theses words leading up to WBA game. The lads put in a great effort against Zenit, more of the same please."
"I agree! I've always said the players spend too much time praising one another and saying they will be scoring soon. Bah! Poppy-! Give us USEFUL and MEANINGFUL news."
