    I don't think anyone doubts that most Liverpool fans have come to realise that their manager and squad are woefully average, it's obvious to everyone other than the most #******edhardcoreliverpoolfan. It's just a bit funny as so many Liverpool fans were insistent that Brod had overseen a cracking summer of transfer activity!

    Truth of you call us Liverpool fans stupid and you were the only one (bar a handful of Mancs - I hate repeating myself so pay attention this time) that its suddenly dawned on us that we are playing ****e and you and all the other Mystic pegs had warned us etc

    We know this, we havent been playing well this season. Can you finally take that on board?


    As for BR's signings you'd wrote them all off along with your scouse hating manc mates. Its too early. I am not owning you again with this convo for a 3rd time Toby, its not fair game, I feel like a bully. However much you want to stick the knife into us you cannot judge this Summers signings yet. To early

    Never put money against us although I was never confident enough to back us either. Had under 2.5 goals tonight but wouldve been happier if we'd took the result by scoring more obv!

    The cheque for using Sterling v Middlesborough was cashed in Basel.

    Wholly idiotic decision to overwork a key player for 120+ meaningless minutes. Especially in light of BR's own claims that Sterling required more rest than others only days before.

    That's 3 different managers now who've taken us to a second placed finish in the league in the last twelve years, and just when we hoped we were about to get there...... we take three or four steps back. Only the Spurs game this season have we even remotely looked a top 8 side, never mind top 4 or, heaven forfend, a side challenging for the title.

    The only player worth a fraction of what we paid this summer is Lallana. The rest are dogshit. And that's being charitable.

    Tonight Man Ure have poached Saints 1st team Physio, another money chasing fcker who deserves to fail, like the s**t you've mentioned.


    On a cheerier note, this from 17th Sept.

    "I think you could beat Basel at Anfield, I think? If you get the same referee. I can't see where you'll get any other points from though. Ludogrets away? Doubtful. Real Madrid? Very very doubtful. Basel away? Outside chance."

    You're very welcome

    Where do I apply for a refund of that 90 minutes of my life?
    Had Basel been at their near best they'd have properly spanked us last night.

    Ming was gash. Sterling was gash Balotelli gash. gash gash gashgash gash gash gash

    We are not getting out of that group and forget 4th or better this year. Injuries my rear end, we are gash plain and simple

    pointless post.

    why?

    nobody playing from the team formerly known as southampton first team was actually at fault.... so jog on with your little agenda nobody cares about.


    ......................................................

    clear issues

    1. Coutinho... shock not a saint player, never bother his arse chasing, harrying, working for team, tracking back.. just jogged back deep and sat. for me a droppable offense. he'd not be seen for a month

    2. Markovic.. shockingly not a saints player either light weight, passed two clear shooting chances for third game in a row, doesn't do much tracking, doesn't look able for this right now. needs a good spell learning.

    3. Sterling.... wow, another non saints player.. who'd have thought.... 4 clear through on gaol chances fluffed. spend half the time defending for enrique and after his 4th disaster in front of goal went and hid wide left. really poor showing. at least he ran... at times

    4. Skertl. no longer attacking the ball as he was last season. seems unsure all the time of who'd doing what and was at fault for goal... again shockingly not a saint player

    5. enrique. totally skinned and all over the shop. ended up needing help form sterling which took him so deep he was in effect out of it... unless he was played in in which case he totally fluffed it.

    Those 5 for me looked piss poor....

    then you've got.

    1. Balotelli.... clealry there are two camps.. suprisingly he's not even a saint player which i find amazing... wow.... those two camps are never wanted balotelli (me for one) and doesn't fit our style (quite a few)

    I want to say in the lads defense... he tried, every time he made a run nobody passed it until he was offside. two/three actually good runs inot good areas wasted through sloppy slow passing. he did what he could jogging baout. nobody got close to him unless eh came deep to them, nobody tried to get beyond him. there was one clear time we just lumped it up, he won it and supplied it on. even had he merely flicked it on... no chance.. why? NOBODY got close to the guy, nobody got beyond him.

    LFC are wasting him and wasting our time cos we are not even trying to do the right and simple things.

    2. Gerrard.

    Couldn't take a set peice, had to hand off to coutinho.. WTF. saw him run...well trot... round the ball in midfield to get it on his right.. wtf... he's contributing to skertl's nerves... funnily enough he's never played for southampton either... why is he not sitting in and soothing the panicky f'rs nerves.


    3. Mingolet.

    poor fella getting stick for goal... but his not getting any better... yet wow... he never played for southampton either



    hmmmmmmmmmmmm....


    ..............................................................

    for the next month i want to see only those willing to burst a gut play. Its patently obvious that play like this v real and we get hammered.... play like this v wwest brom and get hammered!!!

    So:

    is sahko really injured or has he told rodgers to stuff it? not sure.

    forget formations... forget who;s got the reputations. who has worked hard for the team?

    Manquillo... improving and delivered a decent display last night. plus willingness to actually run and offer an outlet... stick with him
    Lovern... shock and actual saints player. wow we do have one then? he's a worker and takes responsibility bit at least attacking the ball at all times
    Sahko... get him back in. i don't beleive the injury bollox.
    Moreno. boy can run end of.... play him LM thouugh
    enrique... I think he will work for us. I'd play him LB
    Henderson... he's a hard worker. he needs more help
    Sterling as a winger... yeah get him in there
    Sturridge... simply must return.
    Badontelly... yeah he's muck but get lads round him!

    Lallana has shockingly for a terrible greedy saints ex-player and spawn of the devil actually tried a leg. I am not impressed with him physically but he is trying and we need triers more than anything.

    So... that leaves only one slot in even a diamond or a 4-4-2

    Gerrard or lucas? well if gerrard can't even turn on the ball he can't play.

    Mingolet (no choice)
    Manquillo Lovern Sahko enrique
    Lucas
    Henderson Moreno
    Sterling
    Sturridge Balotelli​

    If people wish sub in lallana for enrique and push moreno back...

    If if rodgers wants a go to sub use suso for a couple games. see if he works.. neither coutinho nor markovic should even get a sniff of action for the next month.

    For me, Rodgers has to take the blame this season purely because of playing 4-2-3-1 system.

    It does not suit us and he should know this by now. Playing a 2 man midfield with Gerrard simply does not work - playing him alongside Hendo means we then limit Hendo's contribution.

    Playing Sterling and Markovic in fixed winger positions limits them. Playing Coutinho as a number 10 does not work, he should be deeper!

    And if Rodgers cannot see what is wrong with Skrtel, then God help us all. Skrtel has a lot of fans because he is dross. A lot of mistakes are not clearly visible hence why he gets let off but yday, we saw a clear error from him.

    Balotelli worked hard, held the ball up well and beat his man a few times. But he simply does not have options.

    So frustrating because I actually thought Basel would be a lot better but they were absolutely awful. Our team last season would have spanked these lot.

    Sterling had some golden chances but fluffed them. He's allowed a poor game but at least he driving into the box and getting into positions. And it was good to see Coutinho having a decent impact as well.

    Rodgers needs to sort this out because he's playing in the wrong formation and it's cost us throughout the season. Whether it's down to injuries forcing his hand or if he's massively misjudging our personnel.

    just want to get beat by teams showing more skill and ability not just willingness to do the basics.

    running and working for each other = basics.

    I see a comment above about coutinho btw from jimmy... what precise impact di the lad have cos his work rate was pants and he let lads go without any tracking. he never got up to support balotelli at all if he is a no 10 position so he was for me one for the bin for the next month.
