I'm not disagree with you on either situation, I just think its very harsh to blame Gerrard for that result. Especially when most would have taken a point before kickoff.
Skrtel. Was supposed to be marking Giourd, the ball went out wide and Skrtel was pulled out of position to the ball where Toure already was, leaving Giourd to stand still and be able to get the ball back to shoot. Sakho was coming in from the left where he'd been marking Welbeck, anyone see Welbeck do anything today?
Couldn't agree more. However, the day I see people on here give praise when someone deserves it despite being **** the rest of the season is the day I stop saying it. Gerrard wasn't at his best today but he certainly wasn't **** like certain posters are claiming. No matter whether we win lose or draw, the same names get bandied about as if they've raped your mother I don't give any player a free pass. I've battered and praised nearly every player in our squad at some point. I judge a player on the game they've played, not my opinion of them prior to kickoff
did no one see that gerrard dummy? you cant buy that class or the countless inch perferct, weighted to perfection passes that he makes look so easy still capable of producing when it matters most and after everything he done for the club I am shocked at some of the comments im seeing here, starting to see why liverpool get bad press in some quarters
skertl... he's the guy who should've marked up giroud. anyway... 2-2... i htink 95% would have taken it before the kick off but after baout 20mins 2-2? arsenal were never scoring TWO!!! WTF For me arsenal were dire and they put no pressure at all on us anywhere stelring, coutinho, every decent. markovic, better again... lallana.. one trick pony who i don't rate and like at all. Henderson was a bit negative but then got caught u the ptich when gibbs broke for the second.... mad that... in general we were decent
Desperate stuff from Rodgers again. Blames the pitch lol and then claims Sanchez dived...dear oh dear.
"Outstanding" abd "better than we played last year" according to Rodgers. We did play better it is true. But there are still many problems. A decent striker would push aside many of these problems.
Martin ducking Skrtel is going to be the death of me! Will be covered over with his goal but beaten at the back post after switching off and losing his man and then just defending space for the 2nd. Guy is the worse man marker in the hirstory of football! Gerrard was average as usual, trying to hot too many long balls when what worked was quick short passing into the front players. Lucas was good in the middle, sloppy a couple of times but broke up play and was a threat forward as well. Feel sorry for Borini, guy wanted to go out and prove a point but was over committed. If the Lino had done his job right then wouldn't have got first booking but still silly thing to do. Jones has a goal to shot ratio of about 90% ffs and is just as bad as mig at kicking. Overall though, was like the Bournemouth and United game. Better going forward with some pace and movement. 2 things, sterling needs to not shoot from outside the box cos the guy is useless. And Rodgers moaning we had 23 shots and it's unbelievable we haven't won... Well but a ****ing forward that will stick some of the chances as well!
He did dive. Gerrard clipped him but Sanchez put his foot to the floor before decided to go down Still a freekick but Brod isn't wrong
did see presser but i said it was a must not lose game and despite us not losing we feel cheated... well tough! go win the next 3 which are vital games... cos a point v your direct main rival for 4th is not a bad thing given thats how mourinho will win the league this year.... Pity lfc are worse than the other 4 sides actually going for 4th buy hey.... buy a god damned forward on jan 1 guys... not rocket science.
Pretty much this. I know Lallana will get praise for today but he really didn't contribute in any meaningful way. Really happy for Markovic - created the most chances and completed the most dribbles today. We were really good and should have won - but I have no sympathy for Rodgers when he continues to play Srktel, Gerrard and Lucas. Skrtel is a massive liabilty and I'm glad fans are finally starting to see this. Gerrard is just a passenger - offers so little. It must be so frustrating for the team to work so hard to win the ball back only for Gerrard to lose it while attempting some pointless Hollywood ball. Sakho is clearly the best defender we have, and I hope fans realise now how pointless signing Lovren was when we have potentially one of the best centre backs already at the club. Not doubt that fans will only focus on one messed up header rather than the rest of his performance. Coutinho should be doing better with his chances but he's still a great little player.
Very true and that's exactly what happened last season. Same players still got criticised every game though
Would be interested to know what Borini said to Rodgers before running down the tunnel. You can see him turn to him and say something. If I was him it would've been "Maybe try starting with me in the future you Brent-esque ****" But you know, in Italian.
And whilst players like Sterling and Coutinho are missing chances, I still would not be bringing Borini and Lambert back into the team. We're creating chances and looking dangerous. Give me that over zero movement/pace that comes with Lambert.
