Freak result, close thread

Watch us win the next one now.

My team for next game, just to show no ones position is safe without merit:
Jones, Wisdom, Skrtel, Agger, Johnson, Lucas, Hendo, Suso, Sahin, Enrique, Suarez

Yep, that'll show 'em.

We've still got the rest of the easy games coming up, the ones people identified for us to have a good run of wins.

a team without gerrard wont happen but on current form should he was awful today and come in for a bit of stick on the way out

This is the thing that concerns me with Rodgers. I like what he's trying to do. I like his belief and its probably only because of our personnel that it's notworking effectively at the top end of the pitch.

The problem is that he's taken an area which wasn't really a problem (i.e. the defensive part of midfield) and made it the fundamental weakness in our team. He's not only not fixed the part of the machine that is misfiring but his tactics have managed to **** up the only bit that was working reasonably well.

Oh well, after he's had some money to spend in January he'll have no excuse. They'll be his players and his system so if the rabbit gets ****ed then it'll be on his head

proper ****ed?

I honestly thought udinese was the turning point for Rodgers but just another huge disappointment today.

Proper gutted and shocked at how **** and weak we looked in midfield.

proper ****ed?

Proper faaaacked!

Neither does Allen and Gerrard has actually contributed some assists and goals this season

What has Allen contributed?

Allen has been our most consistent and best player in first few months but he played way too much and he clearly needs rest.

He is not the same player atm (I blame him for the 2nd goal as he should have continued and tracked Weimann all the way and he didn't) but I happen to think he is a good, good player (who is currently low on confidence) and he'll bounce back.

Stevie has been consistently poor this season (in fact I cannot remember when he had a very good game) and even though he is trying his best you just cannot get away from age..

Today he played in much more advanced role and to me it was clear he cannot cut it in that position any longer.

Stevie is a living legend of this club and I love him but he lost his mojo and imo should not be given a free pass.

He wasn't good today as he wasn't good past Sunday or Thursday before and so on.

We talk about this all the time but imo we really should stop living in the past and imo the earlier we realize that the better off we'll be.

We need a replacement for him imo and not soon but now.

Football seasons are not really about turning points as much as they are about trends.

[The Red Cardinal]

Time to re-sign assiadi and give him a chance..... No passion no guile no cohesion no nothing

Have I missed something here?

ok will you explain that further.

[little dave hedgehog]

well you see, it has to do with when and where the players were born....

[dom9]

There's not really anything to explain. There are 50 or 60 odd games to play. Apart from cup games, individual matches are rarely pivotal.
