All our contenders for 3rd and 4th are ****e too so unless Southampton stay in it we are still as likely as any of them to get top 4.need to go on a run soon though .

a default top 4 position would be something i could live with!!!

i just think we need to stick with the manager and get behind the team till the end of the season. I dont think they will give him big money in jan - maybe a loan deal but not sure who would add value and be available in jan.

I think things will get much better with sturridge back. I also think that he will form a good partnership with balotelli. But brendan will be judged on the whole season. Top 4 would be consolidation and a fantastic result from where we are right now.....

I thought the same but we can't rely on sturridge to play the next 40 games without injury. We have to bring someone else in to play alongside Mario but a decent forward with real goal scoring ability not another 19 year old who could be world class in 3 years. And that's if Brendan reverts to the 2 up front system.

Lots of sense from some of you & then some knee jerk reactions mixed in.

I agree we have a fuller squad now. Our transfer policy from here should be to add only 1 or 2 too drawer 'A' Listers to the squad. I'd start with a striker as top priority for Jan. I'd leave DM & CB till next summer as i'd try Lucas as DM & use Gerrard in front or as tip of the diamond. I'd use our current CB's & hope we get a decent level of understanding & consistency going.
If this all works out, then in the Summer I'd add a new DM as Lucas is not as mobile or beasty as we need. Gerrard can be rotated around in the 3 other MF positions. Lucas can be back up to new DM/play in cup games. A new CB to really make a difference. So that's 1 A Lister in Jan & 2 A listers in the Summer. Sounds like a decent squad to me!

I agree with this. I'm just not sure we have the funds (or are willing to pay the wages) to go for these types of players. We'll see I guess.

I still maintain one or two top class signings could really turn this season around. We're not a bad team, and this IS a good squad we have now. One big signing could lift the good and give us our mojo back.

this was my opinion in the summer to be honest - to sign decent pros as squad fillers (the likes of Milner, Barry, Lescott) with only more than £10m spent on top drawer players. I think Rodgers and the committee genuinely thought that Lallana and Lovren were what you would call "A-listers" though - that is the problem.

I think we really missed the boat on this to be honest........we were on the up and should have made big moves to get someone like Reus or Draxler......don't think we can attract these players any more.

We now should focus on getting the best possible defensive midfielder as possible in the next 2 transfer windows.......

I'm still annoyed at Ramires's challenge on Sterling. Blatant red and Sterling got a yellow. Go and eat **** Webb.

It is so bad it needs posting again. Then spammed to the club.

Surely, seeing that the ref took no action at the time, can't Ramires get retrospective for that punch? He took a run up ffs

[Paddy]

Can't see anything happening, sure remember Sanchez trying to hit someone with a haymaker a few weeks back?

I think it was him anyway
