Hi gents, Gooner here in peace,
I did not watch all of the match but I have to admit you boys are looking absolutely awesome. Sure, Spurs had a lot of injuries but to be fair so did you boys.
You do frighten me and BR seems to be getting the best out of you.
Huge fan of Stevie G, but I know I might upset some of you but I feel you play a lot better without him, more flowing and you seem to have a better midfield to attack link up in his absence.
As for Luis Suarez, jeez what can I say? By far the best out and out striker in the world, absolutely awesome display, yet again.
Anyway, good luck for the rest of the season and hope you finish 2nd behind my boys, lol.

PS, hope you all have a lovely xmas and new year.

No offense taken mate, your assessment of Gerrard is one a lot of fans on here have made before. Team looks better and performs better in his absence.

Good luck for the season mate, if we don't win the league we don't mind if you's do, just knock those cheeky bids for suarez on the head eh ;)

Nice post mate! Here's hoping to us to be up with 1st and second! Would love for Everton to be up on top 4 as well but the likelyhood of knocking Chelsea or City out is difficult!

Have a nice Christmas mate hopefully you guys beat Chelsea next week!

What a nice man

Respect. Hope its between us & your guys for the title.

Im starting to like these aresenal fans, it also makes me realise how much more I hate chelski, citeh and united fans

16 Dec 2013 09:55:00
I don't Hate City TBH, Coz, they don't open their mouth. UTD as always our arch Rivals.
I don't hate Chelsea, They have a decent Squad and owner who have tonz of money and buy players, who ain't required.
But I hate Jose. coz. He isn't the best he thinks of. or even some chelsea thinks off.
Take off Porto, He has never been with a club who hasn't spend less than 60-70 mill on transfers.
Willian 35 mill
RDM had a pretty good start similar in terms of Points, yet got sacked. and Jose plays very very boring football thesde days with chelsea.

Pleasure boys,
Seano, I promise I won't make any more bids for Suarez but can't promise Wenger won't mate lol

15 Dec 2013 23:26:47
Were are all the people moaning about stirling now!
Hes a top prospect who jus needs time and games!


Hendo and allen were superb

Flannagan is a scouser and is going to be a top player for us I reckon


Abbas lfc

Sterling has put a lot of people to shame including me in the past few weeks. However the real test is maintaining that form over the course of the entire season because we need him with Sturridge injured.

16 Dec 2013 06:24:53
Mate this is the problem stirling is a kid he's 19 he's going to have bad games but when he does we have to support him otherwise hel end up like lennon and young lmao

Abbas lfc

Abbas lfc, even if Sterling was to have his leg amputed, he would still end up a better player that either Young or Lennon.

15 Dec 2013 22:47:44
Well worth getting up at 2am here in Oz for, best team performance in a long time, and against a team that many on here were obsessed with preseason. I've been a fan of Alberto and would have liked to see him get more game time. Though he played a classy ball through for Suarez's second, he seemed pedestrian compared to the other players when he came on. I sat here saying "come on lad, get stuck in, up the tempo!" I know the game was done and dusted, but you would think he'd want to catch the manager's eye, Moses too for that matter.

Moses came on after 89 minutes, you mad? How is he meant to show himself in stoppage time, our defence were spraying passes round almost all of it

15 Dec 2013 22:27:14
Anyone else looking forward to MOTD2 I know I am

I thought MOTD coverage of us was rubbish. Rushed, short and skipped over a lot of our good play were we didn't score but should have. Lawrenson chatted nonsense as well about Henderson being sub par until now - he has been getting better and better the past 2 seasons and has performed on a pretty consistent basis for us this season. Lawrenson shouldn't be a pundit.

15 Dec 2013 22:02:38
hi eds first time poster. great work. great result against tottenham. players who I think would improve us. not guaranteed starters but here goes. townsend, excellent prospect an would fit in with the quick counter attack we play. james milner, wasted at city engine like hendo an the more he plays the better he gets. and also another young striker. maybe jese from madrid. any chances or is it wishful thinking.

Welcome woody! I however, disagree with all 3 of your options.

Townsend, milner, jese? Money don't grow on trees so I hope any investments we make in players are better than these ones.

Townsend We have got our fair share of prospect
milner I dnt think so
jese yes. that guy is going to be one of the best in a few years
bt Madrid won't let him go at any cost and he will never leave madrid

15 Dec 2013 21:48:43
I know I will probably get slated for this but the last time Steve G was injured we did pretty well and had a good run. He is a legend and always will be but he hasn't been as quick and sharp as our midfield needs to be. Today the one touch passing was unreal. Hendo looked awesome almost like there was three of him! Has he got a song because if he hasn't he needs one! Got tickets for the chavs can't ruddy wait! Happy Christmas reds YNWA. Tobiwan

Why would you get slated


i ve been wanting to see our midfield without gerrard for the last 8 or 9 games

You should not get slated because you are right, at the moment gerrard is fine against weaker teams, but against the better teams he is too often too sloe on the ball and off the pace, I still have my doubts about lucas because he is very slow I think that henderson and allen will be vital to a title push or a least a top four finish, everyone today was excellant and any so called supporter who complains about rogers and the squad needs to get a grip and h**k off, that is all

pd

You won't get slated la plenty of posters on here (me included) as well as ed001 have advocated for Gerrard to be used as an impact sub as he cannot keep the tempo and pressing up for a full game. Its early days but if our midfield keeps performing the way it is he might not walk back into the team.

15 Dec 2013 23:36:21
Gerrard never has been a world class central midfielder, he was a world class attacking midfielder. And tbh, I think deep down Rodgers knows this. Maybe he just wasn't sure if Hendo, Lucas and Allen could do enough without Gerrard around. Or maybe he doesn't think Gerrard has the legs to be an AM anymore

Now if whilst Gerrard is out, the others can keep playing well, we can rules out the former. As for the latter, Gerrard is 33. But that's not 36, or 37. And what's more, he's always been one of the fittest players in the league. So I think he still could play for us as an attacking midfielder.

15 Dec 2013 23:40:49
Bah. Hit submit before I was finished.

Anyway, to continue my point, it'll be an interesting problem for Rodgers to have if everyone keeps up their form.

I don't think Rodgers will leave Gerrard out. He may not be having a great season, but (I think) he's created more chances for his teammates than anyone else in our team. It'd be very harsh to drop Hendo with the season he's having, and we need Lucas because he's still the only one who's good enough defensively, imo. And Allen could easily play his way to being undroppable if he keeps doing what he's doing. So either Rodgers screws someone, rotates, or changes the midfield to a 4 man diamond with Stevie at the top. Which would probably mean dropping Coutinho.

You all realise this was 1 game right!? Against a team that has REALLY struggled for goals and consistency.

Spurs have a great set of individual players but aren't a team yet. we will struggle without Gerrard against many other teams.

You can't judge a team by 1 game, hell half the time you can't judge a player by 1 season (see, benteke, michu etc)

Similar performance to those we had towards the end of last season with Gerrard out injured, wouldn't you all agree?

Gerrards biggest asset (and indeed his biggest source of assists) this season has been from set pieces. Remove them from the equation and his contribution has been peripheral, if the teams current form is maintained then he shouldn't walk back into the team. I've watched the lad from his debut til present day and he has been phenomenal but he is older now and he is past his best, a transition to squad/back-up player is required.

15 Dec 2013 21:23:09
Ed's, my first post in months and the thread has disappeared already? Say it ain't so!

We win 5-0 and people are still abusive. Oh well, what can you do hey!

{Ed002's Note - So Waro but as you noted it got abusive. I have neither the time nor inclination to deal with it.}

Ed002, how have you been? Long time no reply, why not forget policing the site and let everyone just get on with it? Were all grown ups!

{Ed002's Note - I am fine in the big scheme of things Waro. I think very few of the posters are grown up.}

15 Dec 2013 21:18:19
I just been watching a little of the Sports Personality Of The Year. They have just done a segment on Anne Williams and Hillsborough.

Talk about emotional!

15 Dec 2013 21:10:48
Did anyone see Dalglish when Flanagan scored? Amazing! Great celebration too. Going to be the first to raise but if we maintain this sort of performance in the upcoming games, I don't think I'd like Stevie to walk straight back in to the team.

Boss watching Kenny celebrate, he is one of us and loves it as much as us, hail the king.

15 Dec 2013 20:46:51
didnt watch the match. but am Elated. clean sheet. great mid display. hendo played well. demolished a team without gerard or sturge. hope we can do more send a message like mancs. we have more goals than arsenal. which will come in handy soon. from what am hearing are u sure we need more cm in jan. all in all, great result and the posts abt our strong mid makes m confident agst cardiff who scare me more than the others.we tend to turn up for big games

What we need in January is an impact sub.

15 Dec 2013 20:40:10
Fantastic team performance this afternoon especially in midfield where our energy and enthusiasm was too much for Spurs. Allen and Henderson were tireless workers, closing them down quickly and denying them any space to play and intelligent when in possession of the ball.
Lets not get too carried away though. We could have scored a few more and Glen Johnsons performances recently leaves me asking questions about Martin Kellys fitness. GJ has great technique and is ideal as a modern day full back but since he got injured against the Mancs earlier this year (when he was one of best performers) he has been very average. Gives the ball away far too often and gets beaten regularly on the outside.
Other than that, I'm still buzzing!

Have to agree GJ was the only player who didn't get at least an 8 out of 10 today. Very lax in possession, doesn't move the ball quickly enough and hardly ever stops crosses into the box. Henderson was actually having a go at him at one point because of it in first half. Too inconsistent for me.

Agreed Johnson was again below par and really stood out as a weak link given how well everyone else was playing. No coincidence a lot of Tottenhams attacks came down the right in the first half. Johnson needs to start using the ball better and sticking to his position, especially when defending - he should take a leaf out of Flanno's book, his positioning has been excellent.

15 Dec 2013 20:34:01
Good result and performance today. This was a good win against one of the supposed top four contenders.
Im not going to get carried away by any stretch but we have 2 games coming up which will really set our season and hopes ine way or the other. Do well in at the Etihad and the Bridge and we will be right up there with the title challengers. Not to mention that we could go top before those games with a win against Cardiff.
If we do not do so well in those games then ce la vie, we will still be going strongly for top 4.
Brendans philosophy is finally shining through. The test against the fluid and purposeful midfields of City and Chelsea will be a new test, I just hope we dominate the ball and battle in midfield like today.

They will be a different test. BUT let`s take it one game at time and not overlook Cardiff.

Cardiff drew beat city and drew with united do not dis respect any team in this league or should I point to the hull game

16 Dec 2013 05:08:00
I'm not pasting over the Cardiff game in any way, they can definitely mix it up, but got to look at the fact they perform well at home and not so well away. United and City dropped points in Cardiff.
Just saying that after the City and Chelsea game we will 19 games played 19 remaining and we will have played all our other contenders, mostly away from home it has to be said.
We will have a very good reflection of where we should be aiming for at the end of the season should the squad remain fit and firing.

15 Dec 2013 20:05:54
Really good team performance, I had my doubts about this match as spurs really made life hard for us in the past seasons especially at white hart lane. but yeah I'll say Sterling was my MOTM. He was the very first person I noticed really pressing off the ball and got in the faces of his opposition on the ball. He caused spurs to make a sub at half time & was the reason for our first & second goals, then scored one himself which should have been his second goal of the night. I must say Sterling, Johnson and Allen make a good team on the right side of the pitch.

Sterling and Flanno grew up today.

MOTM was Hendo

Allen for me the guy was amazing
Sterling wowed me aswell now I remember why we were excited about him hope he keeps it up

15 Dec 2013 20:04:12
Absolutely outstanding - At one point it seemed that even Mignolet wanted to get in on the act!

Now before people start saying we shouldn't get carried away that performance will give the lads a huge confidence boost going into the City and Chelsea games.

And a big shout for BR - he got his tactics and formation spot on today.

Here's looking forward to a goal feast at the Etihad followed by more at the Bridge

15 Dec 2013 19:46:59
"The Holt.

OK. let's wait and see what happens on Sunday. Without Dembele we would beat them 3-1. with dembele, let's see where it ends.

YNWAdam.
Mate.
Get us all the stats on the game.

The First 5 games of the seaosn with Dembele on the bench. Spurs managed 5 goals 3 from penalties and had the least chances created.

you could ask any spurs fan. Who has more influence.

Harry scousser

-----------------------------------

GO ON ADAM! SHOW HARRY THE STATS? WITH OR WITHOUT DEMBELE WE BATTERED THEM.

WRONG AGAIN HARRY.

As luck goes, you have to get at least something right!
This is why no one takes any notice

15 Dec 2013 20:02:13
I agree. and I admit. I was wrong.
No Offence. We just were Unplayable tonight. and I am really Happy.

Exactly. Saw your reply further down the page Holt mate, and surprise Harry is wrong again.

Still want the stats Harry? Time to take down the Dembele poster from your bathroom Harry.

It takes a man to admit he`s wrong. Harry, u have my respect.

15 Dec 2013 20:57:07
I took it. and now in my garbage downstairs accompanied by Paulinho and Sandro BTW.

Real AG.

Enough let's make a truce. Peace out.

Harry Scousser

15 Dec 2013 19:32:00
ED02 not taking the Mick here, I am working away and missed it, can you give me a quick unbiased report? And as I see Chelsea going all the way, where do you see us? Fans get blinkered on here which is why I would like your opinion.

{Ed002's Note - I was in the car and the television has to be switched off whilst driving. Sorry. However, I am sat in a hotel bar right now and the person I am with thought Liverpool played very well indeed and Spurs not playing well takes nothing away from a good Liverpool performance. Apparently Jordo Hendo played very well - as did PipCo and Suarez.}

Im a fan but ill give you an unbiased opinion on the game as a whole
Spurs were poor, but like Ed02 stated it really didn't take away from LFC's performance we were awesome all over the pitch
Flanagan is so much improved, Allen was great without having to give the ball to Gerrard every two minutes, the back four looked better for having consecutive starts, Suarez was his usual self and Sterling looked like the player we hoped he was, Henderson looked classy in midfield hustling and bustling and overall we were just quicker to everything, far quicker than spurs who for me looked lost with so many new faces in the squad since the summer, I personally don't think AVB has had long enough with those new players and dosnt need to be sacked and I also think we are benefiting from being underdogs this year as opposed to one of the talked up few. I think we have what some would crave and that's more of a team ethic rather than relying on individuals, regardless of how many goals Suarez has scored for us, we create good chances and that for me is where we are strong, hoping the new year will be more of the same. YNWA

Good assessment, Guv. Spurs were poor and lfc was great. It was a combination of the two IMO.

Why is it always the opposition were poor emmmmm.

Reusch
its because we make them look poor ;-)

15 Dec 2013 19:21:34
I know you'll be getting a lot of stick but ozone in the now famous words of Delia Smith, "Where are you? let's be having you!

Unbelievable result and performance from the lads, and Flano where did that come from.

Brilliant performance by the lads against a team who played right into our hands. RVB is a tactical rookery but nonetheless, Hendo, Allen, Flanno and Sterling played well. I suspected Gerrards absence would suit us in this fixture and it did.

15 Dec 2013 19:16:43
We were superb today from start to finish. Thought Henderson was excellent, as was Suarez, Coutinho and Lucas, but my MOTM was Joe Allen. Thought he awesome. We looked a much more mobile and fluent unit without SG. let's hope we can reproduce this form for the remainder of the season.

He IS the Welsh Xavi on that performance. Haters eat some crow and like it.

With performances like these i'd call xavi the Spanish Allen (I know that was too much)

15 Dec 2013 19:10:59
I would like to say fantastic performance today from the boys, probably the best performance under Brendan!. However, Although I agree with the excitement after such a incredible display, I still think we need to be realistic and say spurs have been inconsistent this season and have been beaten 6-0 by city already this season, so for some people to be saying we should be able to beat city and chelsea no problem and finish top after that win at spurs, I feel as if they maybe getting abit ahead of themselves, bare in mind when we played Arsenal we lost 2-0 and they have been considered serious title contenders since the start where as spurs have not and are very inconsistent this season and following on from that I think we would do well to take a draw from city considering the amount of goals they have been scoring against teams this season ( BUt you never know because anyone can beat anyone these days) then maybe a draw or 1-0 win from chelsea.

We made spurs look poorer than they actually are.

15 Dec 2013 19:05:01
Welsh Xavi check
urugyan maradona check

15 Dec 2013 18:46:19
I've been critical of sterling lately but boy did he shut me up. Brilliant running at players today, strong with the ball and in the tackle. Definitely his best performance of the year. Long may it continue. On another note, I am made up for flanno What a cracking finish for your first senior goal. Take a bow son

15 Dec 2013 18:45:06
Well what an eventful afternoon.

A while back I read the book by Brian Reade, and the last paragraph of the book is very poignant.

I would suggest everyone reads it, and then dreams a little.

A middle aged man in suit, stood before the Kop.

Maybe just maybe.

15 Dec 2013 18:42:51
First time poster, long time fan of the page

Great win from the lads today, we played some fantastic football throughout the majority of game. Suarez, as always, was unbelievable and to score the same amount of goals as ronaldo in 5 less games just goes to show that he is up there with the best in the world. Very happy that Hendo and Flano got a goal today. Special mention to our midfield, I thought we were going to struggle without captain fantastic today but we dominated from the middle. Hopefully all our christmas games have the same result

YNWA!

15 Dec 2013 18:38:51
Hi Eds

What a perfomance today. Suares led by example should be future captain. Wonder what Capoue and Sigurdson saying still choose the better team.

They defo make spurs a better team than us.

15 Dec 2013 18:30:49
Suarez is going no where! Also Remember when many of you wanted Soldado?

We need a LB. Will be interesting to see who BR wants. I heard we were looking at Alberto De La Bella from Sociedad and rate him around 5 mil. Could be decent buy.

Talking about buying a new lb after a superb performance by jono?

15 Dec 2013 18:25:57
Do you fellas realise we have a player all of our competitors (excepts maybe City) would do anything to have in their teams

City would love to have Flanno.

ChiefScout, haha

We have several.

15 Dec 2013 18:04:28
Im really interested in hearing ozones take on the match.
Was it luck for you? Rodgers fault that it wasnt 0-10?
I really don't think you have a leg to stand on, and youve been outed as a blue nose.
Were all going to be waiting on annie road for you streak. Cameras at the ready to be added to the dodgy sightings posts. Haha

15 Dec 2013 18:02:45
". Maybe after we go 3 up today and spurs get a player sent off"
Roland-dinho how did you guess this. You Genius.
Over the moon with the win
ynwa

15 Dec 2013 17:48:37
Fantastic football today by the lads. What an outstanding performance by the lads especially Suarez as usual, Coutinho, Henderson, Sterling, Sakho etc. The best I have seen this season. We destroy Spurs today and we should have score more. 2 goals and 3 decisive pass by Suarez. What an outstanding player he is.

15 Dec 2013 17:43:49
How I'd love to be living next to ozone knowing he's probably crying now because the team he allegedly supports

15 Dec 2013 17:30:59
Spend 100 Million

Get dominated by Henderson

15 Dec 2013 17:21:24
Paulinho off for a high foot on Suarez

15 Dec 2013 18:25:15
Wow!

What a game.

Best away performance since we beat Manchester United 4-1!!

If can get a couple of proven quality players in January, we are on the march.

Come on the reds

Yassssssssss

:-)

15 Dec 2013 18:24:42
What was the panic over everybody now I hope we just remain grounded and put a professional preformance in and get 3 points against Cardiff

15 Dec 2013 18:23:25
Spuds must feel like a turkey - they just got stuffed!

15 Dec 2013 18:13:30
Superb masterful team performance. I haven't seen a similar annhilation of a team from the starting whistle in years. Am looking for a standout player to name but can't find one - everyone played very well. Two key questions were clearly answered - LFC belongs in the top four now and champions league next year, and the post Gerrard era is assured with able and capable successors.

We all slate or praise players on here all the time. But Brendan Rodgers deserves praise after today's game for building a team with hunger and nerves of steel. Yes, we can win it all with this man at the helm.

15 Dec 2013 18:10:24
I hoped and dreamed but I never expected a performance like that. I think Spurs were as poor as we were good but Liverpool just wanted this so much more.

I really like the way the team was set up. How do we find a place for Sturridge and Gerrard?

15 Dec 2013 18:06:15
Heartiest congratulations to Rodgers and the whole team. Simply breathtaking from start to finish. Great performance from Allen, Sakho, Sterling, Flannagan, Skrtel and especially Hendo, his best game for LFC. Suarez was outstanding, played a captain's game and absolutely unplayable, but my MotM is Coutinho - absolutely magnificent. Who said spurs midfield would walk over our midfield? Who said we'd out of top 4 by this weekend? Boo to you! BOO! Upwards and onwards - bring on the chavs!

.i think young sterling was unreal tonight the strength that kid has for his body weight. he tore spurs apart the whole team stepped up come on boys

15 Dec 2013 18:01:13
I had an early discussion with a poster regarding giving teams 'a hiding' and little did I know how much of a hiding we have given to a strong side on their home turf.

It's about time this happened.

Well done Liverpool. well done Brendan. well done FSG. and well done Spurs for allowing our season (especially the festive season) to kick-on even further.

It's fair to say now that the owners can quietly comfortably dip their hands into their pockets for January as the league position does not lie with many Champions league aspiring players tempted by the lure of a team in second place and in the 'top four'.

I've tried to play-down Liverpool's performances this season, but any unbiased football fan can clearly see this team oozes class at times, and judging by the average age of the team - things can only get better!

Great post :)

15 Dec 2013 17:59:45
What a game fellas. Just to the negative Nancy's out there.

Rodgers tactically naive? LOL
Wasted money on players like Allen? LOL
Need big money players like Lamela and Soldoodoo? LOL
Lucas is hurting us? LOL
Sterling figured out? LOL

There's thousands more that the negative "fans" have said on here. (Ozone) but no doubting we have a good good squad, with a great, young, learning manager.

Never mind negative nancys.
Just thank JWH that we kept hold of Luis Suarez.
He has to be right up there with the best Liverpool strikers ever.
And that is some exalted company.
Brilliant all round though today.

Well said.

15 Dec 2013 17:44:42
Best midfield line up by a mile. Well played Allen in particular
Best Defence too, settled back four making a difference
Well impressed
Darent say anymore lol but we look smashing on this form!
YNWA JFT96

15 Dec 2013 17:56:24
That sends a message to the big guns. Who in their wildest dreams saw that coming, absolutely stunning. If arsenal Chelsea draw next week and we win the. We go into the big double header top of the league. Well done boys that was a pleasure to watch and Henderson sahko Allen looking like the £15m players they were bought for.

15 Dec 2013 17:54:15
What I have seen today at White Hart lane, I can say now bring on City and Chelski. We are not afraid of them and we will destroy them as well.

15 Dec 2013 16:47:35
Great 1st half TEAM performance

And a very good second half performance too!

15 Dec 2013 16:42:59
Kyle Walker is being taught how to play by Jonno!

Fair play to the lad!

Gets a goal too. jus shows how quickly people write players off

15 Dec 2013 15:10:09
again rodgers misses a trick
johnson should play left back so he can push back walker who will have a field day today as he won't be defending much
and kolo toure should play right back

rodgers reminds me of mancini. always plays the same way all the time with tactical naivety.

and now skrytel who I see as a number 2 defender will lead that back 4. he will be soo close to the keeper by dropping deep spurs will be able to play so high up the pitch. I agree with one of the eds about skrtel dropping way too deep

And drop young flano whos been playing well. What a confidence boost! Not

Half-time, 2-0 up, Flanagan bossing Walker, enough said!

So far at half time you have missed the mark and Rodgers seems not to have missed a trick?

Maybe it will change but we have dominated so far

The best today is Flanno scoring a cracker

Red lobster

What you saying now 5 - 0 win for Liverpool at white hart lane tactically naive eh.

Red lobster should be red with embarrassment. Local lad is holding more than his own and what a first goal to score for your club!

I'm sick of BR and his rubbish decisions! If ge listened to you we may have won 7-0!

Change ya name to red fool pal flanno with a tasty finish aswell

Not sure what tricks he's missing. especially considering everyone has played a blinder.

15 Dec 2013 12:55:48
As a lad that doesn't live too far away from Tottenham, I hope we absolutely destroy them.

Certainly got your wish there then

You got your wish mate

15 Dec 2013 12:10:17
". All the best wishes to the lads.
Win. Loose or Draw. We are Liverpool. and YNWA.
Provided. Give a honest and sincere fight. "

You posted this earlier

"15 Dec 2013 12:16:53
Singerd.

Fulham, Villa, WBA, mancs, bitters, hammers

Its Not WE. Its Suarez and Sturridge. Who hammered all the above teams."

And now this:

"Win, loose or draw, we are Liverpool and YNWA"

The team wins and lose together, there is no player who wins while the rest lose.

You have proven that you are a total fake, a complete tool. I don't buy your crap - not today, not ever

Well said harry . that's al we can ever asked

Singred = leg-end. Well said lad. Harry is embarrassing to read

15 Dec 2013 11:08:19
Anyone believe our upturn in fortunes this year owes a lot to the signing of Simon Mignolet?
Going through our matches, he won us our first three games (Stoke, Villa & United) with some great saves, and also played a big part in keeping us on top against West Ham and Sunderland (where, admittedly, he should have done better for the goal) and, unforgettably, he was heroic in the derby and definitely unlucky to concede 3 goals he could do nothing about but closed down 3 1on1 opportunities I believe.

I don't really think so. I think he quite a few flaps and errors in his first few games, but just got away with them.

That said, he was excellent in the derby and I hope we'll look back on that is being the springboard to an excellent Liverpool career. Let's hope he doesn't end up breaking a few years up the line like our last 4 keepers.

Reina was a donkey the last 3 years error prone and no confidence going true the team the defenders no that they can rely on mignolet top class

Borini just isn't cutting it in the Premier League. I think he will be gone come the summer, probably to Italy where he is still highly rated. Not criticising him or Rodgers (not all signings are successful) but it should serve as a lesson to the club that sometimes it is better to pay that few million extra to get proven quality. Aspas is another one I can't see staying for too much longer if he doesn't push on and continues to warm the bench.

Spot on. We should have never gambled upon him. provided we are short of Money.
Same goes here with CM option. We should get a proven one rather than another Gamble.
Not everyone clicks like Coutinho.

But what ya ment to do when you have a small budget and need players if ya budget is 35 million and need 3 or 4 players what ya going to do pay 20 for one and 5 on another 3 like were doing the best on a small budget

That's why you spend less
Money. I'm sure you guys were preaching for lamela and his proven talent. You just don't get it. It's infuriating.

Still think aspas might come good, has the right technique to fit into our system and seems to have good movement and can play in different positions. Borini I don't get, always hoped he would come good but just don't see where he is meant to play. Won't start up top (SAS) and isn't effective wide. But think the biggest limitation is the physicality of the BPL, both are a bit small and lack pace to compensate for it. But still think Aspas may make it if we can try ease him in ideally in the FA cup game or time off the bench if we get a good lead. Maybe after we go 3 up today and spurs get a player sent off. being optimistic

This what I've said for ages. For 2x 8mil players you end up with 2 bench warmers. And for 16mil you get a firts team ready player.

Obviously there are exceptions but sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture.

Hope the lads put up a good fight today, hoping for a fluid passing midfield.

So bring aspas on?

Looking at all the injuries and the fact LFC haven't got anything from white hart lane in years I'd happily take a point today. Can't see it though! Hope I'm wrong.

Yeah because there playing grate


Not

guys don't get wound up by Ozone's post he is here just to wind up everyone as I am certain no Liverpool supporter would be gloating about us being 5th when we have a game in hand! If we win tomorrow he will not say anything until a slip up.

He never supports us when were winning and only seems to be in a weird way happy when were losing (his happy is just moaning) can't wait for the game tomorrow if we win I will be so buzzing! 2nd 2 points off 1st!

Also shocked by Clarke getting sacked ridiculous not to give a manager time. Look at pardrew! Good luck to him!

Is that right RedTwist. Listen, Rodgers is way out of his depth, he's a youth coach, not a manager. He'd be good for the Acadamy but besides, Sturridge, Phil and Mig, I'm sick to death of his pointless signings who aren't good enough for the first team. Between now and the new year is when we'll get hurt for it. Everton have a better squad than us and they've spent nothing, the players they've brought in play on a Saturday, they haven't been acquired to p, ay in their Acadamy. I was desperately hoping FSG brought in Martinez but unfortunately we got the 'Yes' man instead.

Well said lad. Hope we don't get beat today otherwise we will have a week of depressing posts. All away games can be cancelled out by beating them at home, so a draw is sufficient.

Ynwa

Im pretty certain after going through ozones posts that he is actually a bitter. no way a true lpool fan create a relentless barage of negativity about our wonderfull club. This latest statement by him confirms it for me.

Ozone.
You are delude big time. Martinez would have been worse. he is doing ok at Everton. Take out Lukaku. and they would be next west brom.
The only Disappointment I have with BR is some, In-fact most of his Transfers has been shocking.
BR has learned from his lessons and let's see what he brings in summer.

I've watched this war of attrition between Ozone and other posters.

Seriously Ozone, what do you get from your incessant, negative posts?

You are nothing but a hypocrite Ozone. I remember you slating Sturridge and Coutinho when they were bought.

Desperately hoping for Martinez? You should try a career in Stand-up man.

Ozone I'm not quite sure how you are judging Aspas on a few games, trying to adjust to a new league and then set back by injuries. Allen a young player who also got set back by injury.

Even if they don't make it he's clearly looking for players that are in the price range and available which are capable but are a gamble some pay off like the ones you've mentioned or sometimes they don't. We could possibly go second in the league. Martinez is a good manager but it could still go wrong (Steve clark)

Fair enough have an opinion on Rodgers or our squad but why not actually admit when we are doing well? If we win today will you come back on the site and hold your hands up?

For what it's worth, he's definitely not on our side
