Absolutely.

Same mate. Horrible place to go. Similar to Stoke under Pullis. I think it'll feel like more than just 3 points.

They're all big games now I suppose, but it just feels like a massive game for us.

It's massive. Chelsea playing Tottenham on the Sunday as well.

Balotelli is just an awful signing for us. But then he was exactly that before he signed. It's not his fault we've got the most lazy, unimaginative scouts in the top flight is it?

To be honest fella, I just feel privileged that I've witnessed probably the greatest players and sides to represent our club. It's gutting that I couldn't share a title win with any of my 3 kids. Still time....

Yeah. They've actually seen him in the prem, basically doing what he's doing now, and they still fucking bought him!

Fucking breadcrumbs.

I think when you take into account how funds were squandered in the summer, I think they'd be well within their rights to not open up the cheque book. Markovich being a prime example. Whether he's up to it or not, who'd know?

I think this is probably the biggest thing that does my head in about him. He just brushes it off like conceding goals is a minor thing. It's fucking not. I loved how we attacked last season, but 9 times out of 10 it doesn't win you trophies. I think he's dismissive of our defensive problems because he's struggling to fix it.

Reading his post match comments he's fucking deluded. If (not even a big if) we keep conceding goals like we are, and carry on attacking in the same uncoordinated, toothless way, theirs only one place we're heading for.

I couldn't even say with 100% certainty that I don't rate him. Don't know what the fuck is going on.

Total roller coaster of emotions with Rodgers for me. I was gutted he got the job. Thought he was a massive cock. After the first January I thought he was a progressive manager who learns fast. I ignored the fact that I thought he was a smarmy twat because he was producing a great attacking team. He totally won me over last season. I now feel totally gutted. Whether you want to face the reality or not, we're regressing badly. I'm desperate for him to succeed. The attacking football we played last season was breathtaking at times. I've been watching Liverpool for nearly 40 years, and you see the same signs when a manager is struggling. Grasping at straws in post match interviews, baffling selections and being totally stubborn by continually picking certain players.

Fucking hell, it gets harder every week. Coutinho Lambert Lallana.

Regardless, it was just to reinforce a point that was made by Mook79.

Roy Evans basically said on twitter that they should be reminded who they're playing for, and that the performances right across the team weren't good enough.

Just makes him sound small time. Mourinho said the same last season, about us only playing a game a week. Rodgers argued that Chelsea's squad meant they could cope with the greater work load. He also said Vilas Boas should have had Tottenham challenging for the title after spending £100 million!

Lovren and Johnson would get nowhere near the first 11. Gerrard wouldn't play that deeper role ever again. He plays as an attacking midfielder. If his legs aren't up to 90 minutes, he plays cameos from the bench. Can in Gerrard ' s position in front of the back 4. With the available strikers, one up front doesn't work. I'd even be tempted to play Brad Jones. Mingolet might improve with solidity and organisation in front of him, but I've lost faith in him. Jones deserves an opportunity. Reserve keepers only stay on the bench when first choice are totally reliable. Jones isn't great, but he deserves a run of games.

Again, you won't find me disagreeing with you at all. The trouble is that Brendan obviously doesn't think that a Song type player is needed. You hear more and more people at the game saying the same thing. Brendan sees it differently.

I absolutely agree with you on the areas of the team that need strengthening. The same areas that needed strengthening in the summer. I just don't trust him to bring in the players we need. I also doubt Fenway will give him any significant funds after the summer debacle. We've barely seen Markovich, and to a lesser degree Lallana. He's needed a mobile, dynamic cm to play in the 3 from day one. Trouble is, Brendan doesn't think so.

I genuinely thought at the end of last season we had an attack-minded, charismatic manager, who was going to be putting us back were we belonged. He's made mistakes in the past 2 and a half years, but he's learnt from them really quickly. He just seems like he's no idea of how to change it, and equally as worrying, it looks like the spirit within the squad that was so evident last year has evaporated. Worrying times.

This is worse than Souness's time as manager.

The manager is totally culpable by playing him in the role he's in.

Only one team look like they have the remotest idea what they're doing.
