"I guess Sturridge is still struggling with that knock. Lets hope he is ready for next weeks big match. We've got enough to take Wigan. Get at them lads!"
"Allen? Why? I would much rather see Henderson (for solidity) or Suso (for creativity) playing in midfield. Other than that you can't argue. Let's just get a couple of early goals to set us up."
"Cannot understand putting Allen at the expense of Henderson. Not my choice at all, mind you I am not the manager. Anyway lets hope for a good result. "
"Excellent line-up! a pity for Sturridge out and Hendo on the bench who today I would give a starting berth to, but the XI looks anyway compeive and capable to overcome the latics! I put some faith in Luis Suarez brilliance and Philippe Coutinho freshness and hope in a great team performance! Good luck for the game boys, do us proud! Come on you Redmen! YNWA Reds "
"Really shows the weakness in the squad when we dont have 1 recognised goalscorer on the bench who you feel could come on and get a goal or change the game."
"It's an okay lineup with 3 match winners in the starting 11 and a couple on the bench. One thing is for sure, I cannot see us losing this one. Good luck lads, where is ani? "
"Apparently those who have other suggestions on the starting XI were at practice sessions all week. In that case, Brendan, please consider their opinions!"
"Just hope Sturridge is not going to be an injury prone. has been here two months and already three times injured. Suarez has been playing all year day in day out without any injuries."
"I understand why some of you say Henderson should be in for allen but thought allen had his best game yet against zenith. lets get behind whoever is picked and hope for a good victory "
"Fowle2013, do you have any iota of positivity at all? Your negativity is so glaring that you may want to get a psychiatric assessment. Try being hopeful and optimistic mate. This is a forum for LFC fans not LFC scareers."
"suarez pure class and same applies to coutinho. some excellant saves from pepe. come on redmen and keep it going. luis top prem scorer. clean sheet and couple more goals would be great,although LFC are and always will be great. YNWA & J4T96"
"Reina - Realsteel-er
Coutinho - Creat-or
Downing - Destroy-or
Suarez - Sup-er
Hopes Johnson and Carra can sort out their feet lat-er. 50% superbly done now and all the best. YNWA!
"
"I'm not going to have a debate or argument with ani who did call some of us "arm chair fans" a few days ago. But I would kindly advise him to watch match of the day tonight and see the brilliance of Coutinho. Man I love being right :) "
"what has allen done wrong in this game, I'm deliberately comparing him with the rest of our players, Stevie has given the ball away more than him? why have a go at him? Lucas has given away a few silly dangerous frees nobody ging him off. "
"Cant really say anyones having a bad game! Some world class saves two bits of magic from coutinho, Suarez jut...... incredible! Downing scoring good deserves a few goals. Allen come on guys back him were not chelsea fans we support our club, manager and players!! "
"Reina, Coutinho and Suarez have been our 3 best players. Hard to pick who I would have as motm but if Reina keeps a clean sheet, he will do it for me. 3 world class saves in the first half, that was breath taking! "
"I really dont understand this need to always moan at the one or 2 least good players in the team when we are leading 3-0 even if we had 11 world class starting players u lot would moan at the least good one. Downing has cemented his place and hendo has turned it around. Allen will improve, bit of faith"
"Almost all perform well. Today the passion is there, belief is strong, and best of all Reina seems to have rediscover his touches and reflexes. I can see that the confidence is back in him and a winning team has to start from the back of the team!"
"Great play. Team showing that when on song they can be awesome. Well done boys. BTW Luis7?9- I never dismissed Couthinho credentials as a player. I was merely reacting to the over the top praise after 1 game. Seen happen so often before with players. It's called being pragmatic rather than a sensationlist."

"blues and mancs on twitter stiring things up saying we'll lose suarez in summer !!! FSG prove them wrong lets get quality players in to compliment his skills next season"
"Just heard the fans singing for Rafa Benitez - music to my ears! Suarez, Reina, Coutinho absolutely fantastic. Big Question to Br is why is Allen on the pitch, poor Gerrard having to work even harder, it's like having 10 men when he's on!"
"How come Assaidi and Suso are not given any chance at all to play?
They are better players than Henderson and Downing.
By far! Give them a couple of games to show their worth!"
"Always funny reading the comments here. It always starts with people going "Where's Assaidi?" or "we're going to lose". Then those fans disappear if we do well it's: "we're the best team ever". Or "we're the worst team" if we lose.. Seems some fans only log in if we're going to lose, they lose interest if we're winning? Odd set of online fans we've got.. "
"Allen was not poor, neither was carra. Support your team! Im hoping for an improvement on allen and henderson this summer though, plus cb, winger and a striker when we sell carroll"
"Great result....Great style of play. Well done Brendan Rodgers. Pity so many negative comments on here from so called fans who just come on to have a go at a certain player or the manager or FSG. You should go to Chelsea website instead. "
"Spot on LadyGred....too many trolls silently hoping we will lose just so they can say its because Assaid didn't play or it's because Dowinng was in the team. Rather mental "
"ANI-ROAD-08 - You still haven't replied to a thread which is probably on the 6th page by now. You're the old fashioned type of fan, you wont see a talented player until it smacks you in the face. "
"theres all types of fans ladyGred - being passionate brings out what type of person you are - but its all good. We're all happy in the end if we're winning."
"LUIS7&9 ANI-ROAD 08 IS A . HE HAS A BIG MOUTH WHICH NEEDS SHUTTING. HE IS NOT A TRUE SUPPORTER HE WANTS TO START FIGHTS AND RUNS WHEN IT STARTS. HE WONT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION YOU SHOULD ASK HIM WHEN HE POPS HIS BIG HEAD UP AGAIN. "
