Great result and good to see improved pressing and more energy from Henderson its been sadly missing much of this season

He really can make a difference, him and Lallana can really set our tempo we now need others to follow their example

Still think we should be playing 2 up top in the grand scheme of things

[Lecter]

Thank **** for that. Not arsed about the performance, just needed any sort of win.

Lovren has to be dropped.

Skrtel must be made up playing alongside Lovren because he makes Skrtel look competent

[Yozza]

He cost £25m.....that is about 10 to 12m too much for the player he is.....he cost slightly less than fabregas.....more than rakitic........more than blind.......more than Kroos........£20m more than xabi alonso........

Alonso cost £10.7m

I think Lallana is A very good player & will prove to be a fantastic LFC player

Lallana looks great but Alonso was bought 10 years ago, cant compare those prices.

[Muddled]

Yup, you can't compare prices or even them players. Rakitic wanted Barca, Kroos wanted Real, Alonso wanted to go to Guardiola, Fabregas wanted Arsenal, or London and Blind wanted to go to Van Gaal. The connection? They all wanted moves elsewhere (not Liverpool) and massive wages to boot.

But Fierce said it best.

Most of them had wildly different contract statuses, clauses, selling club positions, ages and all sorts of other factors too.

Anyway, anyone with eyes should be able to tell Lallana is a proper footballer, to continue to complain about his purchase is like arguing for everyone to ignore you imo. Markovic and Lovren are the 2 real worries right now and even then to draw conclusions at this stage is foolish, but Moreno and Lallana certainly add something really positive to our squad.

Alonso went to bayern a month ago for 8m euros....

London connection is overplayed.....of we paid them enough they would go to lfc. Man city have proved that...

Lfc pay massive wages as well. Granted the 200k per week that fabregas is reportedly on is mega - but we paid suarez similar money.

[frank the tank]

Honestly, are you really this ****ing stupid?

Good debate.....

[MrMichael]

Good debate.....

Quoting completely arbitrary player values with no relation to the player under discussion is pretty silly though...

Again that's massively reductive, our overall wage bill is nowhere near City/Chelsea, we can't afford those sort of numbers in all but the most exceptional cases. This is complete fantasy football you're playing here Frank, these things are far more complex than you are arguing

Markovic would be an okay purchase if we had the luxury of chelseas riches.....someone we could hope fulfils potential. I njst dont think lfc can afford to spend 20m on someone like that when we have other areas of concern

We are nowhere near capable of absorbing the wages Manchester City or Chelsea can offer. Offering £200,000 a week to one player means upping Gerrard's wage and other important players who want parity or at least wage increases.

[baitman]

Players should be dropped if they aren't performing. I'd be tempted to play Sakho and Toure to see how that plays out.

be careful what you wish for.

[BigChief]

That win against WBA was even more important with Everton laying down for Utd today. Only leaving a 1 point deficit rather than 3.

We 'should' overtake them next game and stay ahead after that.
