Use our rumours form to send us liverpool transfer rumours.

This isn't taking the p**s but I seriously hope people who were saying Ibe should be starting over Lallana have realised they were wrong. Granted, I'm a big Lallana fan but Ibe has a lot, and I mean a lot of learning to do before he even gets to our level, Ojo looks the more mature at the minute, maybe it's a confidence thing I don't know.

He's young and will improve but I'm certainly not Ibes biggest fan, and with him and Moreno down the left we're in for trouble.

Anyone keeping an eye on the Villareal game. Very worried for Thursday.

Believable4 Unbelievable16

01 May 2016 21:03:57
They made 10 changes from last Thursday nite and to be honest Valencia are not very good.


01 May 2016 21:12:25
Yip. Havent conceded a la liga goal in 6 matches. All good things come to an end tho! :-)


01 May 2016 21:37:50
Tey lost 2 of 3 games before they played us.


01 May 2016 21:52:01
Yes but they got the momentum going into the game and we don't. Also if you actually watched the match you would know what to expect from a Villareal playing away from home. It's going to be very difficult to score and not concede is all I'll say.


01 May 2016 22:22:25
They have indeed Faithinworks. don't know how i came up with that info! Completely wrong haha!


01 May 2016 22:53:15
I don't know why, but I have a sinking feeling that nerves might get the better of us on Thursday and we'll either end up 0-0 or losing 0-1. Hopefully I get proven wrong but I'm scared that all the disruptions to our squad recently (injuries, suspensions, morale etc) may carry onto the pitch!

Here's to being a believer and not a doubter but I'm just super nervous!

Let's make sure we make the atmosphere at Anfield ELECTRIC on Thursday and give the players the boost they need!

YNWA
Kopchu.


01 May 2016 23:39:02
kman I was just replying to the dude who said they hadnt conceded for 6 games.

yea it'll be tough and we don't do well against teams that sit back and defend. we'll need coutinho, firmino, studge all at their creative best. I am confident that we can score tho. we created some good chances against them still but couldn't execute.


01 May 2016 23:49:41
I will have both eyes on the game on Thursday and watch us storm to victory.
Never before will they have seen a crowd like ours, our 12th man will feel like 24.
We will lay seige to their goalmouth and they will go back to Spain, battered and bruised and counting themselves lucky to only concede 6.


02 May 2016 00:36:28
Why are poepoe worried about Villareal and what they may or may not do? Have people forgotten how much trouble we were in vs BVB where we had to score THREE goals in the game TWO seperate times within the same game, to get through? We were in a more difficult position then than we are in now. The fact of the matter is that they are coming to our house, our pitch and on our terms. We will unleash the same hell that engulfed Chelsea in 2005, Utd in the last round and many others upon these guys that they won't know what hit them. They have never seen the atmosphere we will bring upon them and I'm confident we will go through. They are tough to break down. So? Does that mean we should just pack it in and not show up because that's what many of you are implying. If our players played with such a defeatist attitude, we would not have overcome bigger odds vs Dortmund. All we have to do is support the team and hope our selection and tactics are spot on. If they score, okay we try and score enough to qualify, end of. Our players know that they can do it and unlike many on here, no longer fear anyone in the competition so if they're not sweating, I'm not.


02 May 2016 02:06:02
Redohio it's about reality not spirituality as if the crowd is going to score the goals required. Let's get this straight, the crowd plays a big part when the team is playing well but we go 1 goal down or they equalise and anfield will be a library. Let's be honest it's happened all season. It even happened against Dortmund. And then to compare the Dortmund game to the Villareal game is plain ignorant. Two completely styles of football, one bound to concede and one very tough to break down and score against. Dortmund came to win the game and put it to bed, Villareal will come set up shop and defend against an inconsistent attack. We never do well against those types of teams, if your a true Liverpool fan you would know how badly we do against them. No one has a deafeatist attitude, we are on a bad run of form and it can catch up to us when it matters, is that totally out of the realms of reality. You thinking that the crowd will somehow take away their advantage is nonsense. I'm not saying don't get behind the team, I'm specifically talking about tactics and how the game can play out. I will support them win lose or draw but I will criticise when I best see fit. We will see what happens on Thursday, a lot of optimism but let's keep it real. This will be a tough game and not a game we can score 3 goals in full stop. I hope I eat some humble pie.


02 May 2016 17:05:45
Kman, again I`m not bothered as to how they will set up because as a former athlete, you have to worry about yourself and not the other team. Villareal will not change anything because they playe the way they play every time. We on the other hand, did not show our best hand and like I posted, if we get the tactics spot on, we should go thru and if they score, we will score more or have to either way so for us, there is no choice. That is the approach we must have and not worry about all this other stuff. Also, you can compare both games because the job was the same as in, score more goals and BVB are miles better than Villareal, whether they park the bus or not so there`s nothing ignorant about comparing both games in terms of the "all or nothing" approach.


01 May 2016 20:47:43
With Sturridge starting today it looks odds on he won't on Thursday and I think that's a mistake. KLOPP has favoured Firmino ahead of him at times and I can't see why when you need at least 2 goals to go through to a European final you would not pick Sturridge. Half chances and Sturridge usually takes them.
Hope he starts on Thursday.

Believable6 Unbelievable10

01 May 2016 21:01:20
And again, another case of 2 and 2 making 5. Why don't you wait till Thursday to see the line up before posting your discontent. All this nonsense just because he made a tactical decision to pick a team to contain Villareal hence, needing hardworkers and some on here are trying to cause a rift btw the two when IMO, there isn't any. You may disagree with his decision but to start projecting and making unfounded statements.


01 May 2016 21:23:37
Calm down red, what's your problem? Just my opinion put in a reasonable manner, your reply on the other hand.


01 May 2016 21:25:36
I think he will start. A Sunday to Thursday gap is more than enough time and if Sturridge gets injured and we go through then so be it. This is definitely the game to risk Sturridge, there's no point wrapping him in cotton wool if there nothing to play for so this is do or die for our season and CL chances. I wouldn't mind benteke starting also or at least being brought on much earlier in the second half (if the goals are required of course) .


01 May 2016 21:29:22
I hope so kman, just with so many changes and Sturridge not being one worries me.


01 May 2016 21:34:23
Hey red, you think comments (mine? ) on here could cause a rift between Sturridge and Klopp, I only mentioned team selection I didn't tell KLOPP Sturridge is knob Bing his wife.


01 May 2016 21:38:49
We need all the creativity when can muster. Either that or chuck benteke in there from the beginning and try beat villarael with crosses!


01 May 2016 21:50:11
Faith, when you say we need creativity does that mean you would pick Sturridge to start or not?


01 May 2016 21:59:45
Sturridge isn't exactly helping his case talking shit in the press, besides he needs to knuckle down and earn a place the same as any player, did you watch the Newcastle match he missed a hat full of one on ones, personally I think his ego is getting the better of him. And I trust klopps judgement on this one.


01 May 2016 23:40:23
18and5 - yea absolutely! have said elsewhere, we need coutinho, firmino and sturridge to be at their creative best. linking together etc. BUT! perhaps the big Belgian will help give us a focus point in attack, and we can nick one from a cross or a flukey one from a knock down!?


02 May 2016 00:00:58
That's why I can't wait for Thursday, playing in front of our home support with all the rubbish that the papers print during the week, I really trust klopp putting out a team I know Will score goals, on our day we can play some great football so just maybe it comes down to us the fans to get the boys that final positive energy to get us home in this one.


02 May 2016 00:17:01
what you need is a striker who will press none stop for the whole game force them back and into mistakes. dosent sound like sturridge to me?


02 May 2016 00:44:51
18, I accused you of nothing but what your post projected. Your post will not cause a rift but could insinuate that there is one, of which there is no evidence of. Klopp doesn't care about reputations as we can see with the way he has cut Benteke to size. Klopp knows he's a talent and a natural scorer so why would he try to frustrate him? Origi as good as he can be, is not Studge and that's a fact as we all know. IMO, I'm happy that Studge finally has competition for his position and he should welcome that and pull his socks up which is what he has been doing as he and Origi have been trading goals before his unfortunate injury. He wants to play every minute and that is fine. I just wish that people should stop drawing unfounded conclusions just because the media is trying to cause problems btw them since Klopp put his foot down and said Studge wouldn't play until he proved his fitness.


02 May 2016 00:47:59
Dude, what shite did he talk in the media exactly because I read his comments and I didn't feel he said what any other ambitious striker would not have said?


02 May 2016 02:19:59
I think Klopp will do something like this migs clyne lovren toure / Lucas Morono Milner Allan coutinho firminho lallana Sturridge.


02 May 2016 05:26:05
I'm far more worried whether our striker is scoring and creating goals than how hard they press. People really seem to go on about this pressing stuff a ridiculous amount.


{Ed001's Note - that's because they don't understand what it means. They think because Studger is not chasing around like a headless chicken he is not involved in the press. They think pressing means everyone running at the ball trying to crowd the player in possession. It means neither.

He does the job he is asked to out of possession. He closes off options by blocking passing lanes. That is the way we are pressing under Klopp. One goes to the ball, the rest varies dependant on who we are facing.

Sometimes, like Atletico do when facing Barca, the press is about taking up the spaces they use to pass into. It cuts off the quick one-twos and short passes into space that some teams love to play. Sometimes you close off the passing lanes, which is what we looked to do at the weekend.

Unfortunately there was not a unified press and so it didn't work. Most of the kids did not seem to understand what they were being asked to do, Studger was certainly not the problem. Even Benteke looked to be up for it. Unfortunately no one seemed to be on the same page, they were not pressing as a team, they were not talking enough to each other.

The issue was the lack of team understanding, they did not know what the player next to them was doing, they were not talking and sorting out issues. This is still a hangover from the Rodgers' regime, of being a bunch of players who are wanting to be told what to do, rather than being players who think for themselves. That will take time to iron out. Taking responsibility and stepping up usually starts with the senior pros, but they were being led by the player who is the worst we have for avoiding it, so it is little wonder the performance was a let down after a bad start.}

02 May 2016 17:10:33
Well said, Ed. People who moan on here have no idea what they are moaning about and IMO, simply moan because every one else is moaning. Love the way you explained the press under Klopp. No need to press a player directly if you can cut of his passing lanes. And regarding the hang over from BR, his dreadful incompetence can still be seen which to me, have led to same individual errors being committed by mainly Moreno and Migs, two players BR signed.


02 May 2016 17:58:22
Redohio he spoke about wanting to play 90mins as a prerequisite that's rubbish talk, there are only 5/ 6 players in the world who could demand this, physically and ability. Wise that is, Sturridge is England's 4/ 5 choice striker at the mo. he needs a reality check. about his mate down south you have to question why is he saying that to a reporter imo he is engineering a move here. he knows unlike Rodgers, he is not klopps main man. so he is putting the feelers out. that's what I took from his interview. Let's hope klopp has something in mind here with regard to central striker. on the plus we seem to have four different strikers with different playing styles at the mo firmino Sturridge beneteke ings/ origi. will be interesting to see if or not there will be a change of shape or formation next season depending on who's coming in or going out!


{Ed001's Note - what is wrong with saying he wants to be first choice? I would be far more worried about a player who is happy to be dropped.}

03 May 2016 02:28:13
Exactly, Ed. It seems certain fans can't just handle a player being honest. Maybe they were expecting Studge to just lay down and take not being picked without sounding out his ambition to want to play every game. Dude, Klopp doesn't have a main man. He plays the striker he thinks will help the team game to game and nowhere did he say playing a full match is a prerequisite so you jade that up on your own. And No, he is not engineering a move as in nowhere in that interview did he imply that. Again, you made that up on your own as he will b here next season. There are so many ways to debunk you nonexistent conclusions about his interview so it's best for m to just move on.


02 May 2016 22:58:40
I didn't interpret it like that Ed, sounds to me like he wants to go. ed001 you seem to be a big sturidge fanboy? . Look all I'm saying is, logically (age, injury, etc) if an offer comes in that meets the clubs valuation I certainly cannot see the club wanting to keep him when origi, firmino, Ings and possible addition depending on what the committee and klopp think about beneteke and Sturridge future. he will be missed if he does go but I for one won't be loosing sleep. Continho on the other hand that's a different story I think he has to be our best player and has been for quite some time. when he is out injured or suspended there seems to be serious lack of creativity. Painful watching some of the performances this season, let's hope we can get a positive result on Thursday and further in the Europa league, that will give us some hope of having the quality that's needed for a push for what we all want for far to long now for next season a premier league title.


{Ed001's Note - fanboy? What are you 5? You need to learn to read.}

01 May 2016 20:24:26
Hey Eds or people around, I missed the game today but was wondering how Ward did?

Believable1 Unbelievable6

01 May 2016 20:31:44
Not particularly composed but our defence was back to its calamitous best.


01 May 2016 21:02:35
Ward was the only one who actually seemed to care if we won or lost as like how City lost woefully to Southampton, the rest couldn't be bothered.


01 May 2016 21:07:50
It's hard to judge him when he has Skrtel ahead of him and a defence protected by two inexperienced youngsters.


01 May 2016 21:06:59
TBH Best Liverpool player by miles. The rest were very poor.


02 May 2016 00:48:32
Posted the very same thing, Kova. Spot on.


01 May 2016 19:45:15
Ed's do you see Klopp letting Sturridge go if the right bid comes in for him?

Believable4 Unbelievable6

{Ed001's Note - any player is available for the right price.}

01 May 2016 19:57:24
Ed1 do you think Sturridge doesn't fit into Klopps system? Or a player Klopp doesn't rate?


{Ed001's Note - no.}

01 May 2016 21:05:19
He rates Studge and has said so many times so don't know how many more times he needs to say it BUT he is clearly indicating that he will not play him if he feels he will be to the detriment of the team for tactical reasons, to keep him fit and fresh nor bow down to fan or media pressure.


01 May 2016 17:50:15
Just looking at the league and although I always said it was next to impossible to qualify for the champions league after January, given our abysmal form and our inconsistencies, we could have seriously had a real go at it. Hypothetically speaking if we had got 3 points in each of our last two premier league games we would be 3 points behind city with a game in hand, providing of course they lose the Southampton game which they are 3-1. With them likely to drop points again, it would have been a real possibility. Maybe we should have taken the league a lot more seriously in recent games. A top team should be able to compete in two competitions.

Spot on, Agger and people need to give him credit what what he has achieved so far and the season is not over yet.


01 May 2016 17:35:36
Does anyone else think Benteke could save his career at Liverpool. Everyone talking about Sturridge well Benteke can be a hero for us.

Of course he can, but it's not very likely IMO.

Scored but was well you no where I'm going.


01 May 2016 21:40:35
He scored from a corner. Not much else going on for him, but to be fair as a team we were very loose. Feeding off scraps all game.


01 May 2016 16:55:49
A few thoughts from the game

1) clearly Klopp was looking to keep his depleted first team fresh, but likewise also it's incredibly clear how much we miss Hendo and Can and how little backup we have there

2) Stewart has had some good games, likewise Chirivella, but asking them to control the game without senior players around them (and with Ibe and Ojo ahead of them) was a bridge too far

3) Ojo had some moments but Ibe continues to flatter to deceive. Skrtel and Smith are running out of chances too.

At the end of the day, the result doesn't matter too much but this should give Klopp some resolve around strengthening further in a few key areas and I sincerely hope we move on quickly and pick ourselves up for Thursday. We need Firmino, Coutinho, Sturridge and Llallana to be at their best if we're going to have a chance.

Up the Reds. Two more big games to overcome this season, let's give it our all.

Believable11 Unbelievable7

01 May 2016 17:12:36
Smith running out of chances?


01 May 2016 17:50:30
Well said zimbo. If klopp is looking to strengthen at left back, bringing markovich back, grujic to arrive and possibly the arrival of a wide player ot looks like loans for many of todays players. I'd suggest smith, Stewart, chirvella, Ojo and ibe need a season long loan ideally with a premier league club. We know skittles is likely to leave, we need a top class keeper as mingolet isn't the answer with ward inexperienced to just step in. I see a lot of ins and outs to be honest. Don't see sturridge with us next season either.


01 May 2016 19:31:15
Agree with Zimbo, If you're playing Stewart/ Chirivella put someone experienced along side them. Don't see what anyone seems to in Brad Smith just runs about like a headless chicken and is no improvement on Moreno. Also agree with Bon that maybe Chrivella, Ojo and Stewart need a loan in the prem or with a team Challenging in the Championship,


01 May 2016 21:17:42
Spot on, Zimbo! Yes Fencey, Smith was bang aweful today. I'll never slate a young player for making mistakes HOWEVER it seemed he was just interested in attacking and couldn't be bothered to do his first job as in, defending. He did nothing right and he might as well have Ben sent off from the first whistle as we were playing one man short the whole game as he couldn't attack nor defend and the second yellow was flat out stupid. I'll give Chirivella a break as Klopp should have not started him without some experience around him. Smith needs to step it up, improve or he will be gone.


01 May 2016 23:19:40
He may have played poorly today, but 'running out of chances' and putting him in the same sentence as skrtel. He's a young lad, with a handful of premier league games.


01 May 2016 16:29:36
Disappointing result today but Thursday is a far more important game, we possibly could of done without today. Let's roar the boys onto hopefully another European final.

Believable6 Unbelievable7

01 May 2016 16:14:07
If we can get past Villareal on Thursday, we will have Hendo and Çan fit for the final (according to physioroom) . That gives me confidence but first let's be 'avin' you Villareal!

Believable4 Unbelievable6

01 May 2016 17:13:20
Don't think you can play them both, if they both have to come off as they'd not match fit, they could be left wanting.


01 May 2016 21:18:35
If they have no match sharpness, it won't matter as they will be severely off the pace.


01 May 2016 15:53:02
I don't understand all the talk about underperforming because we are favoring the Europa League. The facts speak for themselves very clearly since the last 3-4 games, and probably earler in the season too. And that is, we have a starting 11 which is not only strong, but cohesive and skilled enough to carry out any formation or style Klopp wants to play, and can beat any team on its day. Any team. When key players of that starting 11 are not playing, then, sadly, we don't have much. Take Sakho, Can, Henderson and Milner out from that starting 11 (due to injuries or whatever) and you will see LFC play exactly as they did today or as against Newcastle. It's not Klopp's fault in any shape or form. We simply don't have enough players beyond the first eleven that are good enough. I hope people see it for what it is. And also see the massive job Klopp has ahead of him during the summer. We need at least 18 players that are interchangeable and can play without any noticeable fall in quality on the field, if we are to have substance behind our and Mr. Klopp's ambitions.

Believable5 Unbelievable4

01 May 2016 16:13:39
Look, no ones really berating the team selection, everyone expected a squad full of youth as the case against Bournemouth. But we still haven't got any better at game management. How many times have we let 2-0 leads slip under klopp. It means defensively we haven't improved that much and in terms of game management we haven't either. There's areas klopp has improved however, so I'm I think klopp has done a good job with what he's had but he's also made big errors also. This is a manager and players problem not just the players. It wasn't the players fault that they where asked to sit back for 90mins and allow Villarreal to win the game when we could have easily nicked a goal late on if we made the substitutions. against Newcastle we kept trying to attack and leave ourselves open when all we had to do was manage the game accordingly. We almost threw it away against Bournemouth as well. I will say that we have been very unlucky with injuries this season, but there are certain players that are disillusioned now and they won't be up for Thursday. It's really up to klopp to get the tactics right this time along with the line up and to galvanise the players. He is responsible for team morale so it better be there on Thursday. Morale is low after the last 3 games so I'm worried.

Again not blaming klopp for anything but this whole notion that he's allowed to escape criticism because he's a top manager is nonsense. Today's result was inevitable with the players on display but was it wise when we have such an important game coming up to allow morale to stay negative.


01 May 2016 17:31:29
Kman92 - I'm not one of the guys who absolves Klopp of any blame, at all. I think his positive achievements with the team thus far have to be seen with some not so brilliant tactical and player selection moves. For example, while I think he has handled the petulant Sturridge very well throughout the season, I am still baffled by his giving an unready Flanagan both a starting berth and the captain's armband for a key game. But i think player availability (from the starting 11) has seriously hampered his efforts all season long. And the remaining squad that has been left to him is simply not close to the same level as the starting 11. Yes, we have youths, and potentials and hopefuls that can put in a cracker of a game once in a while. But that's all on the wishful thinking side, and not exactly the best way to approach our title and trophy ambitions.


01 May 2016 21:56:06
The team he chose was not wrong. These things happen but to straight away blame the mnger is wrong. Yes he is ultimately responsible but cut him slack . really. Any team which loses it's important playerd before crucial matches us bound to suffer loss of form.
I know it will be tough against Villarreal but we need to be United.


02 May 2016 00:55:17
Spot on, Pank. He has picked the same reserve teams and won, scoring goals and creating chances for fun. Today, he was let down by the same demons that have plagued us even since BR was in charge as in, poor set piece defending, player lack of focus and the good old one, individual errors. Has he made mistakes? Of course. Has he improved us in certain areas and improved individual performances? Absolutely. Villareal is a big game and our players are always up for big games so not worried.


01 May 2016 15:04:58
We're going into the most important game of our season on Thursday on the back of 2 defeats and 1 draw in our last 3 games. OK, the team was changed today, but it seems we have regressed a little in our attitude. We have also conceded 6 goals in those 3 games, so it is difficult to imagine that we will keep a clean sheet on Thursday. There seems to be a general opinion on here that we will score 3/ 4 goals against Villareal, and we might do, but I think very unlikely.

Our league campaign in reality is now over and we played like it was today, which is not acceptable. It is very difficult to switch back on at will.

Personally, I don't feel confident at all that we will make the final. I hope I am wrong.

Believable6 Unbelievable9

01 May 2016 15:20:46
Despite what Klopp says, I do think that the league teams have been chosen with the Europa in mind! The last few league results show no real reflection of our team and it's attitude and performance levels.


01 May 2016 15:46:50
I agree KBL, everything that could have gone wrong has pretty much gone wrong in the last couple of weeks in terms of the football. We've completely lost our momentum, we have to continue without key players that are so important and on form right now, made a huge error in the first leg by not trying to win the game after 60-70 mins, after we had kept it tight and resolute up until the game was there to be won and we allowed them too, and then today, which we where always going to play a second string team, we continue our demise in morale, senior players that might play against Villarreal playing poorly, and Sturridge who is our main goal threat and someone we need to be bang on form for Thursday is sulking and probably doesn't care about the game coming up.

Its hard to see the way we will go about Thursday, especially with the line up. We have been pretty unpredictable when it's come to the big games. We are almost certain to concede as you have said, and I cannot see an uninspiring attack score 3 goals at the minute. I also can't see us holding onto a 2-0 lead for example. We are specialists in giving away 2-0 leads which is ironically exactly what we need. As I've said before this tie is completely in villareals hands, if they don't turn up we will probably overcome them, if they do and they play well, I can't see us getting through. This is the reality.


01 May 2016 15:47:41
We have lost our first choice central midfielders, so when we should be playing with the 2nd choice we are playing with the reserves and its started to show now. We have had a horrific time with injury this year.

No doubt half the reason for today was it just didn't mean anything and everyone is waiting for Thursday.

I'm pretty sure we will turn up and if we can't score a couple goals without reply or at least score a couple more than them then we frankly don't deserve to go through.

It's very hard to judge a game that doesn't mean anything. Klopp gave the kids a chance and they let him down. Don't forget all you lot were calling for the kids and they were crap.

Too many neggies and not enough believers.

We will beat Villareal, stop worrying 😎.

Ron - for me it is not about being negative, but realistic. We have lost the spine of our first team with Sakho, Hendo, Can and Origi all unavailable.

Like I said I hope we score 3/ 4 goals on Thursday, and go through. You state we will beat them - but do you expect us to go through?


01 May 2016 18:04:28
Yes I expect us to go through, they are much better at home and scraped a 1-0 there. We will turn them over and be in Basel, no problem.

In 2005 we won the CL with no strikers. We can cope with adversity.


01 May 2016 18:22:12
I hope we take a measured approach. They are very adept at defending their middle third and playing on the counter.
If we go gung-ho too early we will find ourselves 2-0 down in the tie before we know it.

My worry also is that the way they defend will mean no room to operate for Coutinho and Firmino as there I vary rarely any gaps between the back 4 and midfield.

Here's hoping tho.

If we don't We are in serious turmoil for the upcoming season. This is no joke. We did nothing in the league all season and our pride is at stake in the EL. Without CL the money would be restricted.
We must win and we have no choice.


01 May 2016 21:24:20
Kova, when Klopp took over, CL was already beyond us and had Klopp not gotten us this far in the EL, we won't even b in a position to get CL that we are now so whatever pride you're talking about was already out the window and Thursday won't change that. I will say that Klopp has made us relevant in Europe again and should we win the EL, he will be a legend at LFC.

Ed seem like your brother in law couldn't even save us today.

Unlike our defence. Lol.

I'm not going to comment on the performance today as bad days occur in everything in life and today was a bad day BUT I'm surprised at Studge at the end. He should have shown a bit more professionalism at the end and done his duty as a player that wears the LFC shirt and badge. I'm disappointed he didn't shake the hands of our opposition after the game. As a lesson for the future, Sturridge, we reveal a little about ourselves when we have success BUT reveal a lot about ourselves in failure.

Reynard, what do you and some people on here want from this guy? Based on your comment, it seems he can't do anything right. You seem to put everything he does under a microscope. He didn't shake hands with the opposition. Do you know if he exchanged shirts with the opposition in the tunnel, shake hands in the dressing room with them, say hello to Guidolin or did all these scenarios not cross your mind? Stop with the witch hunts because it is quite pathetic.

Not sure Klopp will be happy with Sturridges outbursts, he's made his point about sitting on the bench, I think Klopp will be having a quiet word before long,

What outbursts? Really, people need to stop believing what the headlines say in the papers.


01 May 2016 10:44:47
Tbh as good as he is, he's always a risk to be injured for a long spell. He isn't embracing lfc and isn't bring embraced by the fans so we should cash in and focus on making origi into a worldie.


01 May 2016 10:47:45
Has to be one of the more timid outbursts lol.


01 May 2016 10:54:43
Let's put things into perspective here

Since Sturridge's return from injury he has

*Featured in 15 matches out of 21
*Unused sub on 3 occasions
*Averaged 66 minutes per game since his return in 15 matches

Clearly Sturridge wants to play every single minute, that is perfectly normal, any player does but seeing that he is one of our most injury prone players, managing his playing time at this point surely is the right thing to do?

66 minutes on average per game for a player who was out for a very long time suggest that the club has found a solution to Sturridge not breaking down as soon as he returns from injury.


01 May 2016 11:14:32
Starts today. 😎.


01 May 2016 14:04:05
Well I wonder why Sturridge just walked straight off the pitch, on his own, at full time whistle, without shaking hands with anyone!
Looked like a bit of a strop to me.


01 May 2016 15:11:12
Not happy about getting tanked? Pi##ed at his own performance maybe?
