    Just felt that his positioning was completely off, and at 22, I thought he would be a bit more refined. But to be fair, this is the first time I;ve seen him play and it wasn't easy to play on this pitch.

    When you arrive on a free and only play once in a blue moon you don't get scapegoated.

    When you cost 32 mil you get expected to put yourself about.

    He didn't even rough them up.

    This is true.

    If you cannot rely on a number 2 then why have him?

    Arphexad, Carson, Jones, Itadje and now Bogdan.

    None were good enough.

    Agree. They weren't that bad. But at 22, I expect more and I think they lack the basics.

  7. He should have scored but it was actually a very good reaction save from the keeper.

    As I say quite often, the keeper can only make top saves if we give him the opportunity to make the save.

    Have I never criticised Firmino or Coutinho ? You may have been asleep mate.

    How about I stop criticising Benteke when he stops playing poorly? I think that's fair.

    He probably should have but I think that's a little harsh, defender is all over him.

    Milner arrived on a free and that hasn't stopped me from calling him sh*t as well. <ok>

    Bent over backwards to defend them lots. Just don't do that when they are ****e and start in on benteke to explain why the team as a whole also played dirt.

  14. But that's because you don't like him and never wanted him ;)

    I've mentioned this already.

    The guy thrives off quick, quality crosses to beat the defender and put it in the back of the net.

    What did we do?

    Loads of 1-2's which slows down the pace of the game and takes him out of it.

    Or alternatively, shoot instead of crossing.

    In short we shouldn't have ****ing bought him because we don't have a style which would utilise him effectively.

    Round peg, square hole.

    Let's give their fans a nice welcome to Anfield, then smash them and punch Tisdale's hat in

    I defend players who have talent and have shown their ability to suggest that poor performances are nothing more than just a blip. Coutinho and FIrmino have both been poor but I know they are capable of more because I have seen it.

    Benteke has yet to do that.

    He actually did play well. <ok>

    But he's still sh*t and a waste of £150k a week on wages.
