TLW picks the team v Arsenal

[Ne Moe Imya]

I'd like to take the positives out of that, but it really wasn't a good performance, it was a patchy one, where one side of the game starts to flatter us and the defence still looks shocking.

 

Basically we can press, and if we get Sturridge back and another striker we might score. But no side can build success on having to score three goals in order to win a game against a side they're battering.

 

To answer your first point, I can't agree, we completely dominated them from start to finish. If we had a goalkeeper who could save more than 1/3 shots on target, we would have won.

 

To answer the second point, we had a lot of success last season doing exactly what you say no side can build success doing.  

[Jhinge Machha]

frustrating player. his final ball is shocking. his shooting is worse. lovely running with the ball.

 

love watching him running at defenders as he changes direction left to right to left to right

Borini needs a good twatting in the car park and told to fuck off period

[Gnasher]

Third season and we still defend like amateurs, failure to recruit a striker worthy of the name in the summer despite having the funds. Saying nothing at the time about problems with the transfer policy, signing new lucrative contract. Could go on ,

 

One striker is injured another banned and another got sent off. Gerrard gave away a stupid free kick with seconds to go to half time for the first goal and hit a Hollywood pass which was cut out for their second goal.

 

Rodgers has made mistakes but the team he set up were easily the better side today and he imo dos'nt deserve criticism for not winning today.

[Red House]

Can't blame the manager for that sorry.

 

What? Not even for assembling a team of powder puff shooters? Not even for not having been able to improve our defence even in the slightest possible in three years, in fact it's probably worse? Both reasons why we didn't win today.

[Razoray]

Rodgers can't get criticism for the set up of the team today or to set up of a defence. we dominated Arsenal out there today. the defenders we have, made errors again but the tactics and the performance were 10/10. if sturridge was fit for that game or if we had bit more luck with finishes it would have been a similar scoreline to last season

There was one huge reason why I think he deserves stick . The useless gimp stuck between our posts

[Tony Moanero]

I'm gutted we didn't lose. Fucking furious.

 

Rodgers is a cunt

Can Rodgers go away now please with his idiotic egotism while simultaneously being the worst defensive coach I have ever seen at Liverpool. We will never win anything with this spoofer and he will keep blowing £20M on defenders every season.

Comes down to his signings and he knows it.  He buys a striker worth his salt and we would have been quite a few up before halftime.

 

We are nine points behind West Ham and ten points behind an atrocious United side.

[niallers]

Slated the pitch? What's that bout? Always thought the pitch was great.

[Dr. J]

I doubt that many people give a fuck about Rodgers one way or another at this point. Winning the league is out, at Christmas, and we need an awful lot to go right for us and against other clubs to save anything from the league.

 

He may have survived another week, but the club is treading water.

I wont bite at your obvious sarcastic response but will ask how could Rodgers have improved on that today?

[Jhinge Machha]

i am off to get drunk. lets turn burnley on its belly and fuck them hard please.

I think we dominated possession and harried them well. Whilst that's good, it's not really achieving anything without finishing or defending properly. Without those, I'm not sure I could really consider it a decent performance, we've just got an area or two in which we're proficient, but still missing the important ones that win games.

 

On building success, I think you can get away with a leaking defence that lets in a couple of goals a game whilst you have a pair of the most in form strikers on the planet finding the net, as we did last season. Actually building a team for more than a season on that lopsided approach is altogether different though.

Was I not clear? I don't give a fuck about what Rodgers could do or could not do. But since you asked, he got what he bargained for with Jones and stayed with Gerrard, who was his Stevie Me worst today, for far too long.

 

Hardly matters given our current situation.

[thompsonsnose]

Just turned on the 5 live cam.

Kelly just giving Ian Wright a bollocking for yawning.

Funny.

 

Love Kelly.

I agree with you on the signings but overall we were the far better side today and deserved more than a draw. Wenger has spent some big money on that Arsenal team, Welbeck, Sanchez, Ozil and they were out played, so which manager deserves the flak after the two sides performances today.

ye. Brilliant making no apologies for it. Calls himself a liverpool fan a couple of times. I miss the mad little bastard. It would be great if we had him out against chelsea in the semi final coming up.

Deserving more means nothing though, does it. Rodgers has spent 200 odd million for a team that is 10th place close to half way through the season.

 

It sounds negative but once you look at it objectively, that's what it is.

Loved raheems handball, very suarez like.

Always remember the swing celebration. Gerrard running towards him, pissing his sides.
