OK Rodgers you've had your fun, now lets be sensible next time and leave them out. Need to keep them in good shape to be booted out the door in January. Now, if you feel you need to fill the gaping void left by Downing, here is a short list of players better suited to LB Wisdom Johnson Kelly Flanagan Robinson Carragher Enrique Suarez Brad Jones..... and for Henderson: please log in to view this image
To be fair, Hendo hasn't been nearly as bad as Downing. Due to his incompetence i noticed Gerrard, Henderson, Allen, and Enrique had to always run back to get the ball from him. Their runs then had to start very deep meaning they were pressed early in possession. Today was bad though, no more small positives. It's time to start winning, no baby steps anymore. Sterling wasn't awful but he had a poor game. Johnson had a good game, Suarez I'm afraid is going to leave soon. He's a man amongst children. Unless we start telling Suarez, Shelvey, Henderson, Enrique and Suarez to GET IN THE ****ING BOX then we'll fail to score. Simple. We also seemed to wake up in the second half. Worrying. Why sleep through the first half? You're paid thousands per week to play football. Play it with a passion every game. If I can watch the game with more passion than you play the game with then that worries me. Are they not fans? Do they not wake up as excited as we do on matchday? How can you lose focus in 45 minutes of work per week? Time to take the playstation away from Enrique/Suso/Pacheco, get Raheem off of twitter and get them on the training pitch. No excuses. A club psychologist needs to look into this. I hear we've hired one recently.
I noticed last season that LFC did well when Stevie G was out injured and then when he came back, you had a poor run of results. Could it be that he's too big for the team? In that he's Mr Liverpool and wields too much influence?
Just giving you an update on how your record signing is getting on for West Ham. Have you completely given up on him?
You're in good spirits today NOF; a lot of the Swansea boys seemed a bit excited as well...what did you do to them?
Downing was played out of position but in fairness he kept Lennon quiet enough except for about fifteen mins, Henderson does what Henderson does, keeps the ball moving. Don’t know what you expect from them.
