Our centre backs are showing exactly why I couldn't care less which of the two start. Every single one of them are complete piss.
One could argue it is the coaching that's the problem not necessarily the centre backs.

The worry will also be the side of your game which you are suppose to be good it, i.e. attacking, looks limp.

The pacy passing, pressing and countering all look gone.
Yeah, we've been terrible in every area of the pitch so far this season (Spurs game aside). Some serious questions need to be answered, and Rodgers can get fecked if he refuses to accept responsibility for our defensive problems again.

It genuinely looks like our back 4 go into games defending on instinct, there's no organisation at all.

Ha, you just beat me to it. Said that before too, there's no evidence of any training ground work on defence, everyone does there own thing instead of defending as a unit. So depressing.

They genuinely look shite, and it's bloody enjoyable.

They've increased their squad depth but they still can't really afford any injuries.

Hahahahahaha!!!! And to think the Scousers were criticising our defence at the start of the season. 8 goals conceded in 5 games, very impressive defence that. Can't wait until Utd play Liverpool this season, our attack will murder that defence. Liverpool aren't anything special without Suarez, outside of Sterling they're a very average team.

It's pretty safe to say now that we'll drop Liverpool out of the top four. The only open question is whether they drop further than fifth. Probably not, but don't write them off from doing that quite yet.
Blimey. I don't think it's safe to say anything about United. Best thing today is our rivals have dropped points. We have to do our part. Liverpool won't play that badly all season (unfortunately).

Lallana's impact is being overstated by Sky.

One pass to Moreno aside he barely did anything effective. Pretty player on the ball, but I just don't think he's a game changer for a team like Liverpool.

An absolutely awful display. Don't know why we start with Lucas and Gerrard. Our defence was a shambles and I include Moreno in that. Stop hitting crosses into the box lad. It's clearly not working. Lallana was good when he came on and Balotelli was good too, but the rest of the team was absolutely shite.

Rodgers substitutions brought us back into the game. Not sure why he didn't throw on Lambert and Borini rather than going like for like though. We were down 2-1 with two minutes left. We had nothing to lose.
So revising the league win are we Barn ?
Looking fairly clear after 4-5 windows that Rodge cant sort a defense out, he's not he Messiah he's a very naughty boy.

Absolute fecking shite mate.

They'll do well to finish in the top four again.

Signed good players, but not ones which would take them to the next step. Rodgers still hasn't addressed defensive frailties.

I think it is a bit of both. I don't particularly rate any of the centrebacks but all defenders can be coached to look better in a system that protects them more. Rodgers is either unwilling or unable to spend as much time as he needs to on his defence and I can't imagine the reduced time they'll have in between matches this season compared to last will help.

Seen nothing from them to worry about.. if we don't get top four ahead of this lot then it will be an ultimate disaster.

I think we were talking about it after the Villa game but there has probably been limited time to work on it since.

Any defence we offer will be better than what Skrtel, Lovren and Sakho can at the moment. Game was over after 10 minutes, just watched the rest of the game to see if Lallana and Lambert would look any better. Lallana is definitely getting here, Lambert is done. Much like a 50 year old Gerrard.

Don't be a twat. I've been on here when we finished 8th, lost the league title, etc. I'm hardly going to jump ship now. I expect things will pick up soon anyway, and we'll still finish ahead of you.

When is the next international break?

Said it before, they've been looking incredibly average this season. Despite replacing their entire defence, it's still a shambles.

Writing is on the wall. We've been trying to tell the scousers here all summer.

Last year was a freak and they still couldn't win it.
