Here hoping the window doesn't close without us getting
A) Attacking midfielder = Wijnaldum or Rakitic
B) Winger = Salah or Gio Dos Santos

Gio Dos Santos? What are you smoking?

Lol agree with Mark, Dos Santos bombed in the premier league, would not be a good signing for us.

13 Jan 2014 20:20:00
Sorry eds I read the article wrong, Rodgers went out in December to watch Draxler, I think he would be an amazing signing for us, could be the answer for when Stevie retires young as well perfect for FSG policy

{Ed002's Note - Would need to sell Suarez to pay for him of course. Not going to happen.}

Ed could you please stop using facts and logic to dispel obvious made up stories, remember its that time of year again when rumours become gospel and lies become truth.

For me Draxler is THE top young talent in Germany and there would be so many teams in for him that Schalke could literally hold an auction, out of our range. i'd go for his team mate Meyer myself and hope he is :)

Forgot to say, Rodgers went out in December to watch Salah, the only Schalke game he watched.

14 Jan 2014 11:55:43
I am so sorry, but I feel draxler is so hugely overrated its embarassing, he is the German Shelvy who can't defend. Wait and see. The team which will spend that ludacris asking price will buying the most expensive Flop that is so hyped up its hilarious. Absoultly ridicolous, what has he done or achieved? NOTHING.

Meyer looks promising but damn isn't he like 16/17 or something? I have no qualms with buying young talent but he has a long way to go and would probably cost a bit already, not sure there would be much value in signing Meyer.

As for Draxler? Doubt we have a chance, expensive and can literally choose where he goes - sadly i'd put money on him heading to Chelsea or City in future.

Seano, you mean that you see him signing for Chelsea to sit on their bench for two years then get loaned out, sold for penny's and then bought again for a billion quid or so when he's flavour of the month again such is there transfer policy(if they have one lol!)

Draxler looks like he'll be world class and will command a transfer fee in line with that. Chelsea's midfield is ageing and is going to need reenforcing (I know they are signing Matic) as Essien and Lampard are getting on and Obi Mikel isn't really CL standard (IMO). Draxler would be a good replacement for Lampard so I don't see why not - doubt he'll be consigned to the bench.

The only reason I mention City and Chelsea though is money - they're the only ones with the financial muscle to buy him. Arsenal could but don't think they'd pay the fee required for a younger player and Uniteds form means their desireability might take a significant knock. Either way I am sure that we, unfortunately, will not be in the running.

ed2 liverpoo announced 9 new tv deals today, how much revenue will this bring in?thanks

{Ed002's Note - Not significant amounts - it is not for showing live games.}

@FabRomano21

M'Vila: by tomorrow, clubs (Napoli, Liverpool) will have new talks with Rubin Kazan to make a new bid. Player dreams for Premier League #LFC

{Ed002's Note - There is interest from elsewhere.}

But know confirmed interest from us that I can see or read anywhere?!

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has an interest, but in a loan to buy with only a tiny amount proposed to be paid now.}

Where is elsewhere Ed?

{Ed002's Note - PSG.}

I see, I didn't think we were interestd.

Rubin will surely want and need money up front, I'm sure PSG and Napoli will offer the asking price.

Eds do you think that we are one of the clubs then that will be talking to him or his club tomorrow? Or is it more likely its Psg?

{Ed002's Note - I have explained the situation.}

13 Jan 2014 18:31:17
hello eds
jsut hered Liverpool are considering a move in signing PSV Eindhoven midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum do you have any info on this as we apparently put a bid in a couple of hors ago?

{Ed002's Note - RTP.}

Where did you hear about this please? Eds is he any good and is he available?

{Ed002's Note - RTP.}

any idea when enrique, flanagan, agger and Sakho are back?
also how is samed yesil progressing? I remember he had loads of potential, is he getting close to a first team squad place

Enrique is a week to two weeks, flano a week sakho will be fit for our next game agger 3 weeks

Yesil got a bad injury again and could be out for another 6-7 months. He was being mooted for a move to Turkey for 2m ish I heard before the injury.

Yesil has had horrendous luck with injuries - has looked promising but that's the second bad one in 18 months, might be one of those unfortunate players who never reaches his potential due to injury, a pity.

13 Jan 2014 16:47:20
eds,,, am I on the right site? is this for supporters or slaughterers? I know its a banter forum but blimey i'm sure the outcome of yesterdays game reads 5-3 in our favour!
another hugely entertaining game involving our ever improving team of highly talented players still to be fully assembled in the eyes of a young manager who is showing great faith in the current squad of players and installing them with the knowhow to be able to play different areas of the pitch with interchanging formations during the game dependent on the circumstances they are faced with. BRILLIANT.
our attacking play this season has at times been nothing short of sensational.
the pace the game is now played at means injuries are more prevalent than ever before and will play a huge part in where the trophies end up when the season has finished. lady luck (esmerelda) also as we well know had deserted us for a while but put in a timely appearance for us yesterday. i, ve labled her with the formentioned name as she has been around since time began.and she can also play in any position!
daniel sturridge deserves a special mention,, returning from injury and coming into a game with that intensity to play like he did is no mean feat, great goal, the assist of the season so far and with the right pass played on a couple of other occasions may well have bagged a hat trick.
all in all difficult opponents, tricky conditions resulted in 3 more points to our seasons tally.
earlier in the day I watched my 14 year old son put in a man of the match display yet still finish on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline despite being 1-0 up with just 2 mins of normal time left to play and his resulting demeanor was only restored back to his usual happy self after witnissing his heroes in action latter in the day and he went to bed looking like he had been breast feed on Dr Pepper.

Can't believe mignolet is getting some stick, having a different set of centre backs in front of him every week can't be helping. He's still a very young keeper who has done little wrong this season. He had massive boots to fill and he's filled them. Reina has not been missed. He will only get better in time and with more experience under his belt, not to mention a more stable defence.

Agreed Mikey. Mignolet is the very least of our concerns. There was a lot made of him letting in Stoke's third goal--fair enough, it was not his best moment--but, what people have to remember (an given equal weight to) was that he made a couple of fantastic saves earlier on. at a time when the game was still very much in the balance.

The reality is Stoke was never always going to be a 'win ugly' scenario. LFC did it and they and Mignolet deserve full praise for coming through.

Sure, Mignolet hass had a couple of moments (Man City and Chelsea most notably) but, overall, he has been a solid, long-term addition to the club.

Mignolet is a very good shot stopper but he does not command his area he seems to bottle it in big matches yesterday he made several great saves but he did not look confident he punched one cross in the second half instead of catching the ball the ball went out to a stoke player and by doing things like he does not make the defenders confident in him or themselves sorry fellow reds but the jury is still out for me he needs to improve his over all game for me I have to hold my breath when ever a cross is put in against us really don't want to have to be like that reds and neither do you follow LFC fans

I have to agree with Albeydered. He has to work on his organisation, and his ability under crosses is at best average. He seems to suffer from nerves when he has time to think. I believe it is a worry as a back four also has to be confident in their keeper for crosses etc. they are both unsettling each other. Reina at this moment I feel is a better keeper but Mignolet offers good prospect for the future. He still needs to convince me he is the keeper to take us forward.

Time will tell whether he will be the long-term number 1.

He has the potential. But he has a lot to learn.

There are weaknesses to eradicate e.g. getting down quickly to a low shot (Chelsea, Stoke goals); flapping at crosses.

And then there is the mental element. Great keepers tend to be domineering alpha males - able to organize a defense and scare people.

Mignolet may just be too nice.

{Ed001's Note - and he needs to learn to use his feet. Not just for clearing the ball, but it is idiocy to try and get down to a low shot that is inches from his foot. It is a very major weakness in his game that good opposing coaches will pick up on and instruct their players to aim at.}

I also saw him in ChilliBanana on Lark lane a few weeks ago with his family and he split the bill! He needs to be tighter on the pitch and a bit more generous off it.

13 Jan 2014 15:37:14
Hey eds, hope you enjoyed the festive season. Was wondering if there has been any movement in regard to Yann M'Vila? I've heard contradicting rumours saying he's signed for Napoli, I think it was a reporter for some magazine in Italy tweeted that he's currently in contract negotiations with Rafa? I've also heard he's signed for Liverpool, whereas Rogers has said he's contacted Yann's agent and that's all? I've also heard that Rubin Kazan are looking for a bidding war between us an Napoli? Have you heard anything? Also, have we decided not to mach Basel's value estimation of Salah? And Rakatic, anything on him? And I've been hearing things about Georginio Wijnaldum that rumour got any legs?
Thanks in advance,
Tobes.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool won't be getting in to any bidding wars. Nothing has happened with M'Vila. The rest you will find in the search engine.}

13 Jan 2014 15:13:52
Anyone knows BR's view on Tiago Illori, Luis Alberto and J. Ibe' development?

It seems rather strange that with the number of injuries so far and the philosophy of acquiring young talents, these 3 almost never played so far the season. Not even on those games that are closed out by the 70th minute with a 3 or 4 goal lead.

BR tends to do very few substitutions during matches (very few times used 3 subs), and I get that this helps to build a solid team. But shouldn't these young players help to offload some minutes from the 1st team players? Last campaign Sterling was burned out by mid season and he is just a kid.

Illori played 1 FA game I think, Jordan Ibe the same and Luis Alberto had just a little bit more action. Any thoughts, insights or opinions?

My understanding is that Illori will be going on loan to Spain. The lad needs to play games.

14 Jan 2014 11:45:21
GJ gets similar treatment to Lucas on these pages in that there are complaints but when he goes on a lengthy lay off we always see posts about how much better we play with him in the XI.

Not everyone is razzle dazzle in a highly tactical game. If you need constant entertainment please see the figure skating chimps on YouTube who skate to the Rocky theme song and repeat as necessary.

{Ed001's Note - sorry but that is not true, we don't play better with him in the XI, normally the posts are complaining about him waltzing back in and doing nothing to deserve his place.}

14 Jan 2014 12:35:21
Respect ed. True or not, we still see fans moan when certain players are out and when in.

Who has time for moaning when a reasonable solution is a better use of everyone's time?

{Ed001's Note - the reasonable solution would be to play someone else there, but that doesn't seem to have occurred to any of our recent managers!}

13 Jan 2014 15:09:22
Hi was wondering if any of the eds could give an update on texeria was hoping he would break through to first team this season, I believe he is 21 this month, seen him few times after he arrived and he looks talented

{Ed002's Note - Clearly Brendo does not agreed.}

13 Jan 2014 14:53:31
hi all- wondering is it possible to recall a loan player for January window?

13 Jan 2014 14:31:42
Somewhere in the middle of the Stoke game, there was an enjoyable bit goalmouth mud wrestling between Ryan Shawcross and Dinsdale "Shirt-Puller" McSkrtel. Although I am fully convinced that the best way to mark Ryan Shawcross is to rip off his shirt and push his face into the mud, I would not be surprised if a referee took a different view. So I ask you, the loyal, knowledgeable, and sometimes menacing fans of Liverpool Football Club, when will Mr. McSkrtel's shirt pulling be rewarded with a penalty kick? I am putting my money on the next match, and will continue to bet on the next match until it finally happens.

Go watch it, you will see it's 6 of 1 etc, Shwcross then just lays ontop of skrtel .Nice trolling though

It looked to me like an in game show of solidarity towards thomas hitzlsperger

I totally agree with the 6 of 1 bit, but I'm still betting on the next match.

Honestly thought the incident earlier with Skrtel holding Crouch's jersey was going to get called a penalty. Crouch was in a dangerous position on the 6 and just needed to redirect and flick the header on. Of course he can't jump if Skrtel is holding him down. I thought it a clear penalty. If it was the other way around we'd be howling.

It's a dangerous game he's playing and it's only a matter of time before the officials start catching on and calling him on it. I don't understand why he can't legally go toe to toe with the opposition, unless he's incapable.

It will happen at old Trafford, guaranteed

14 Jan 2014 12:07:25
Strange how tiresome johns always seem to come up in conversation in tandem with shirt pulling and well taken kicks. I just had a similar conversation with notorious drag queen B.J. Sparkles (aka Ed069) where the ball was absolutely drilled deep from the kick after a shirt was ripped right off.

*If there is an Ed069, I'll take that back if there's any offense taken.

To be fair every time Crouch jumped he grabbed the back of Liverpool players shirt and held it down - all players take the mick and if the referee's do decide to start clamping down on it Skrtel won't be the only player getting penalised.

P.s. would add that Skrtel's gets a little more attention because of the complete lack of subtlety and tact when doing it - but he is not alone, watch a corner from any given Premier League game and you will see the same thing.

13 Jan 2014 13:24:48
Hi Ed's and reds,
Just out of interest, who do you think will be the next Scouser who will be a regular first team player, like Gerrard and Carragher was, for Liverpool? I've heard a lot of people say it is important to have the Liverpool born players in the team, so do you think it is important to have a Scouser in the team?
Cheers

{Ed001's Note - Rossiter.}

Hope it is rossiter. Weve seen to many who havnt made the grade and sadly were sold on. E.g spearing, morgan and even coady if he comes back of his loan.

Whilst I cannot argue with Ed as his knowledge of our youth players is second to none I would suggest that, if Flannagan maintains his excellent form when returning from injury, that he might claim a regular first team berth. Do people think he is good enough to do that? Or that his form is merely a temporary purple patch which cannot be maintained?

{Ed001's Note - I think it will take him a while, whereas Rossiter will grab one soon.}

Sounds like Rossiter is rated very highly. Do you think he will be on the periphery of the first team next season Ed?

{Ed001's Note - he already is.}

13 Jan 2014 13:01:55
I have every faith in FSG and BR but Rodgers had made further comments now about no transfers available at this time and we will see what happens. Everyone else seams to be getting closer and yet everything has gone very quiet with us.

On another note, someone posted yesterday about BR's security being ''high'' yesterday. Ed's?

{Ed001's Note - I don't know anything about Rodgers' personal security arrangements, sorry.}

Didn't Wenger complain about his treatment from the fans there last season?
They're pretty mouthy, the Stoke lot.

Ye stoke fans are bad I remember about 10 years ago I went there to watch them play Tranmere Rogers as Tranmere are my second team anyway the point was we were locked in the ground after the game due to stock fans trying to get through the big gates they let us out of as the stoke fans just wanted to fight we had police on horses trying to stop them getting in so it wouldn't surprise me

13 Jan 2014 12:53:52
Hello Eds and reds, I was so impressed with our attacking potency yesterday it reminded me of redknapps spurs, pace power and quickk passes.

I was just wondering if the salah deal has stalled due to interest from dortmound and maybe there is interest in greizmen and tello as different options.

13 Jan 2014 12:32:07
Haven't be on for a while, but just a few observations. We seem to be letting in a few goals . Just a few but we are scoring loads. Do you not think that these things aren't connected . Of course they are, we along with city. , compare the costs of the squads. , are the most exciting teams in the league. Enjoy you miserable gits. , yes we could be tighter at the back. We haven't had a settled back 4 all season, we need to add to the squad but it's not major surgery that's needed its a tweak. Hopefully are loan players comeback and progress into 1st team.
Finally. I don't get Moses playing before Ibe etc. , he's not improving and he doesn't look like he wants to earn a contract with us so why give more opportunitys when he's not bothered.
Happy New Year. , futures bright.

13 Jan 2014 11:56:20
Really don't get how people are slating Mignolet? His only real mistakes have came yesterday and city away, costing us a total of 2 points (city game we would have drew but won yesterday regardless). He's already won us at least 5 points with his penalty save v stoke, his saves away at Villa and his performance in the derby. Like BR says a decent keeper can you win you 10 points extra over the course of the season and as far as in concerned Mignolet seems to be doing just that. Fans have such short memories at times!

13 Jan 2014 12:56:08
In my opinion, Mingolet is the best shot stopper in the Premier League, just ahead of Begovic. However, Mingolet is very indecisive when it comes to high balls into the box and he needs to work on his drop kicking, although that's not crucial in our system (also I may just have been spoiled by reina for too long). He is good enough with the ball at his feet, has exceptional handling (I can't remember him ever dropping a shot into his net even before he came to us) and he is very fast off his line making him a formidable opponent in 1-on-1 sitautions. What I would most like to see him improve though is the utilisation of his feet when stopping low shots. De Gea and Lloris are the best keepers in the league at this, but Mingolet tries too hard to get down to them instead of just getting a solid leg behind it. I think he has things he could work on, but he is also a very good keeper. He is far better than Reina on current form so all this "bring back Pepe" rubbish is starting to annoy me. The only keeper in the league better than Migs as a pure goalkeeper (i.e. keepnig the ball out of his net) is Begovic, but he has injury problems and no ability with the ball at his feet. I think Mingolet is good at positioning himself as well though from set pieces (Corners, Freekicks and even penalties where he makes himself look very big). I'm sure he and the coaches are aware of where he needs to improve, and yes he has conceded a couple of soft goals against City and Stoke but the City one was very unlucky and the Stoke one was in horrendous conditions. That Stadium is reportedly very open to the elements, particularly wind. Had Mingolet used his left foot to stop Walters shot rather than trying to throw himself down, he'd have stopped it. I once got told by a striker coach to always hit my shots and headers hard and low because a goalkeeper can only dive downwards as fast as gravity will let him. With perfect pitches and such fast moving footballs nowdays, a goalkeepers ability to use his feet to stop shots is becoming increasingly important as the ball can fiz along the floor at easily 80mph from the likes of Lampard, Van Persie etc.

Just lay off Mingolet for a little bit, let him settle, and let the coaches do their job. I'd love to have our old goalkeeper coach back though. Xavi Valero I think his name was. By all accounts he was the best coach most players had ever worked with (particularly Reina, although Torres actually credited his goal scoring form to Valero due to his ability to read oppostion keepers and spot their weaknesses).

YNWAdam

The third stoke goal wasn't really his fault. he was clearly blocked by toure and walters did well to get his shot on target.

Also let's not forget that the two center halves have been chopped and changed so much its ridiculously had for him to build his own partnership

It's the deep crosses that worry me, he peddles back far too much.I think he takes up the wrong positions at times and is too eager to come out.
I feel he needs a stronger central defender in there who will marshall the box, while he stays on his line. Hypia used to do this with Dudek.

It's hard for a keeper to understand the ball playing aspect, I don't think he's helped at times by the indecisiveness at the back on whether to pass to him or not, skrtel agger toure etc all dilly dally too much on the ball, either pass it to migs off the bat or hoof it up. They take and extra few seconds that cut down the time migs has to think by a few seconds

I don't think mignolet was the right keeper to be chosen in the summer, he is very sloppy with the ball at his feet struggles to get down to shots close to his body eg walters and eto. he is very good at shot stopping when he has to extend his frame, his flapping at crosses is starting to worru me also, he needs to be more commanding off his line

14 Jan 2014 12:13:33
SM never cost 2 points at City. The fact that City and us played by two different sets of offside rules was the difference.

13 Jan 2014 11:02:10
Anyone know how Pepe Reina is getting on at Napoli? Has he rediscovered his form?

13 Jan 2014 10:31:20
why would any ref go onto ssn to be grilled by an person.

13 Jan 2014 09:43:28
We had our second choice defence out today (with Skrtel and Johnson being the two arguably in the first team picture, but also the two at fault for every goal). Cissokho did nothing wrong, neither did Toure. However Johnson got ripped to shreds by Stokes second choice left winger (two of their goals came from crosses from Arnautovic). Johnson was awful. Unfortunately, so was Skrtel. He dropped too deep allowing Crouch and Walters into the box too often and for Charlie Adams goal not only did he back off but he then let the shot through his legs. Yes, Stokes third goal was soft, but Walters would not have had that ball had Johnson done his job. A keeper is only as good as the players in front of him. Gerrard actually played okay in his role although his slip didn't help with their second. He just doesn't snuff out the danger though. Had Lucas been in Gerrards role, I guarantee Adam wouldn't have scored his goal and the attacks for the other goals may have been prevented but Gerrard was not awful at all. He does slow the play down and concede possession too much for me and I'd rather see him as an impact sub still. The game was full of mistakes from both sides, last season they beat us 3-1 in this fixture. They also beat Chelsea 3-2 this season. Conceding three at the Britannia is not unheard of, however scoring 5 is! Before yesterday they had conceded 7 goals in 10 games at home despite having played City, Chelsea and Everton there! let's just enjoy the result and look forward to the return of Sakho next week.

YNWAdam

Haha.I thought everyone wanted johnson back when he was injured now you want him gone again.
Gerrard played really well yesterday you should be more worried about your favourite dm lucas, he could be the one dropped when allen returns
Skrtel was awful but toure and cissokho were okay really?

13 Jan 2014 13:28:18
When Johnson was out, we missed him because Kelly and Flanagan were both not fit to play. So we had to play centre backs at right back (Toure and Wisdom). In fact it was worse than that because we were playing with wing backs at the time so Toure and Wisdom were even further out of position. We didn't miss Johnson because he's good, we missed him because we had no other right backs!
As for your Lucas comment, it is laughable that you think Gerrard performed the role better. We conceded 3 goals in case you weren't watching. All of them because we were sat so deep. Why were we sat so deep? Because of Gerrard and Skrtels inability to press high up the pitch. Crouch can't score a header from 25 yards. Just accept the fact that Gerrard is not who he used to be. He was famed for his driving performances and his incredible engine coupled with his ability to be creative but still tough in the tackle. He has never been composed or great at setting the tempo and he has certainly never been positionally sound, hence why he always got pushed forward into more attacking roles. He needs to reduce his pitch time, not change his style.

Any fool can see we are weaker when he starts, but he could be the best impact sub in the league. Rodgers is just trying to make him a position because he is scared of the backlash from the fans if he dropped him.

YNWAdam

14 Jan 2014 12:22:16
Scared of fan backlash? Ho boy, maybe you've yet to see the Jedi Gerrard video on the Liverpool ribbit.

13 Jan 2014 09:18:32
great win yesterday back in the top 4 but with other teams around us playing well to its going to be hard to tax there we really need a couple of reinforcements to keep the push going if we can sign players like salah, m'vila, and possibly a right back because Johnson seems to be getting worse I always.believe we could achieve more that just top 4 any updates on the transfer front eds Surely rodgers has got to be thinking about getting some players in just to liven things up

13 Jan 2014 08:53:45
I think we are all pretty frustrated at our defending at times this season. I wonder whether this could partly be down to not having a settled back 4? At the start of the season we went unchanged at the back and looked pretty solid, then toure got injured and since then for various reasons we have had to change the back line. can't be good not to have continuity. Not a complete excuse but maybe a bit.

Interesting that BR indicated that he was looking to strengthen the DM role during this window. be interesting to see who (if anyone) he gets

13 Jan 2014 08:35:27
First of all, great win. Some fantastic goals, and I particularly enjoyed Sturridges finish.
Penalty.
Yes, it was soft. But, Wilson challenges him just as he's shifted his body weight to cut in slightly. I think you see them given and frankly, he got some of the man and none of the ball.
Defending.
Now this worries me. Those of you who can pause, check out the position of our defenders as the ball comes in for the first goal.
There are 4 stoke men FREE in our box. One completely free on the far side, 1 on the near side, 1 more in the middle with Crouch actually being the best marked player in the area at that time. Scary stuff.
That ball doesn't even need to go to Crouch. Any man gets the ball and they are at least getting a shot on target. We need to close up the gaps.
Mignolet.
For me, his shot stoppings been incredible this season, he is prone to lapses in concentration though.
Hopefully this is something we'll be able to coach out of him, but he should have done better with Negredos shot, Eto's and Walters last night.
I'm not getting on the guys case, he has my full support. He just needs to cut the silly mistakes out and he'll be fine.

13 Jan 2014 08:23:33
Morning all, say if we do get salah, would he go straight in? Sterling seems to be developing well. difficult one to balance, although granted we do need options.

Also what's with these rumours about King Kenny bringing the ruskie bloke to the match (slight improvement on taking Carroll to westlife I suppose)

Finally a hello to Dagenham gunner, a gracious poster from the dark side, should arsenal win tonight I'm on for £225 on me coupon, still. brings a bit o'sick in me mouth to be routing for another team like. but prefer you lot to owt from manchestershirevilleton

Same here, 100 quid if arsenal win. bitter sweet!

Good luck matey, I've just spent mine on a mucky weekend in the lakes with the wife. best come in now or I'll be rocking the overtime!

13 Jan 2014 07:55:17
Good Morning Lads!

LFC to make some moves, Obviously we need a Winger, LB, and some nice youth. Well I think we got Salah, but if he says no, then BR going after both Montoya and Tello from Barca. Also I see us going in for Hughes, and Alli for youth prospects for the coming years, as both have impressed BR.
Also I was told the name of a player we are going to go after, but I cannot for life of me spell his name, it is really long, he plays in Serie A. I think even without Tello, we still go after Montoya. Chelsea will not sell Bertrand to LFC. Other LB ideas?
YNWA

13 Jan 2014 07:12:13
Well done Rodgers and well done team.
The defence managed to concede 3 goals against stoke. Not ideal, but then so did Chelsea.
The difference is we beat Stoke and Chelsea lost. Ok the defence had an off game and perhaps they haven't had a good season but you win as a team and you lose as a team. The strikers have had poor games this season too.
Stay positive, top 4 and still in FA cup mid January.
It's better than Man Utd.

13 Jan 2014 06:26:06
Well done boys. An entertaining game for the neutral but how shocking were Stoke for most of the first half? They gifted you the first two goals and looked toothless coming forward. But then again your defence was once again woeful. Both your full backs were caught for pace and Skrtel was shirt holding/pulling at every opportunity as he has all season.Two good late first half goals exposed your frailty at the back. The penalty was a joke second half. Sterling clearly handled the ball when put through which was missed by the ref and then went down far too easily under an innocuous challenge. A disgraceful decision which a cheat has prospered from.
Never mind you've got Chelsea next week which should take you back down again.

How was it a cheat? He felt contact which there was and went down. Read this sits it was soft but then again we've had some awful decisions which cost is crucial points against Chelsea and man c which would mean we'd be well above you right now. It's just funny how every time you come on here we win again! Can't wait till you come to the fortress and we demolish you :)

Your posts on this site always have the tone of a comic book villain, "you may have gotten away with it this time batman, but i'll have the last laugh"

Seriously you seem to have an obsession with our club so much so that I feel your allegiance lies more for the demise of Liverpool than with everton.

Also we have aston villa next week not that it matters who we play now that we have suarez and sturridge back together again. Well I wish you all the luck in the second half of the season and hope you get all the use out of your loans before they leave you and you're are back to "terrorizing" defences with the midfield maestro that is Steven Naismith.

Superb win today. SAS, what a combination. Delighted to see Daniel back, he was truely missed. Sterling is also getting better and better. However our defence is a mess nowadays and Mignolet should be more concentrated on his line. His errors has cost us a lot this season.
