[Roboklopp]

It's annoying aye but at least it keeps Scum out of the top 4.

[Fredo]

Lot of fatties amongst the away Bitters.

Booo!

[RedAndWhite]

****ing Blue****e only 2 points off the top is sickening!

Its not too bad when its two points behind us

[RedReet]

Bet this is what the Bitters felt like when Gerrard came through.

Cracking freekick.

No chance. Barkley's good but he's nowhere near Gerrard's level IMO.

[Gibbo]

Now. I didn't say that did I.

It's obvious he's going to be world class, and it's frustrating that a club I don't like have a player that's going to be good in their ranks.

[Fredo]

Think he's a good player but world class potentially? Nah.

[ChesterDave]

I'm not convinced by Barkley.

Big chunky lad, seems great going forward because he is powerful but once defenders learn not to let him shoot from distance is there anything else that makes him stand shoulders above anyone else.

Bright and getting rave reviews because he is young and strong but don't think he'll actually get better with age. I think this is the lot.

Yeah, but you don't rate Bale.

Kid can dribble as well. It all depends on how he adapts his game, only a year older than Sterling, and I've seen plenty of people suggesting that he could be up there. And his performance today was on par with anything Raheem has ever produced.

[dom9]

Is there no MOTD tonight?

[ChesterDave]

Is there no MOTD tonight?

Nope. Linekar said last night its on Monday because of the Arsenal v Chelsea game.

[Fredo]

Yeah, but you don't rate Bale.

He's a good player, reminds me a bit of Gazza. He's got a bit of a lazy touch sometimes though.

It's very early days. He looks decent and Everton are playing well, but plenty do at his age. I do think he will go on to be a good player, but equally he could just be another Rodwell.

[Red_Polo]

He's so much more technically gifted than Rodwell though. Awareness, vision, decision making, close control; he has already got a skillset few English CMs have, he'll be able to dictate games played at a slower tempo if he develops as he should. Scholes is the only other player England have had like that in a very long time.

[Fosterbloke]

Some bitter comments here about Barkley!

The kid's going to be bloody good and we have no idea if he will match or surpass Gerrard's level. Give it a few seasons and we'll see.

Ha ha, where? Maybe Dave calling him fat, but just bacuase some people don't agree that he's as good as the greatest midfielder of our generation is hardly being bitter.
