He was awful today, but he wasn't the only one. He's still got a lot to offer us. Playing with Lucas doesn't help him.He is gone. No amount of pens can hide the fact he's shot.
Awful performance.

I would be looking for 16 or 18 points from this next run. We have a chance to build a bit of momentum after the international break.
Not being funny bro, but you aint spent well and Suarez was ded good.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.
Yes! I said we'd finish top four last season.
Have you ever got a prediction right ?
He had it easy last year in terms of playing once a week. Not the case this time around. Rodgers needs to monitor him closely because he is struggling big time. I know it must hurt to see him play so bad, I was the same when Giggs started to look his age, but the manager needs to act decisively.He was awful today, but he wasn't the only one.

I don't want to make any bold statements and I'm sure Liverpool will improve, but we will do well to finish below a team with a defence like Liverpools. That's something that can and should improve with coaching, but Rodgers looks like he neglects that side of coaching.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?
You sold a world class player and replaced him with a bunch of average players.We're going to finish one place lower than we did last season?
was it Barney who predicted them dropping two or so points in the second half the season once?

You won't this season.Yes! I said we'd finish top four last season.
Like feck you will.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.

Oh dear. You would think he would learn following last seasons predictions.

Bit early to write them off,Its only 5 games.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.
He predicted them to pick up about 57 points against the bottom ten sides or something. Don't quote me on that, just paraphrasing, but it was something similar.was it Barney who predicted them dropping two or so points in the second half the season once?
I did. We picked up 5 or 6 points less IIRC.He predicted them to pick up about 57 points against the bottom ten sides or something. Don't quote me on that, just paraphrasing, but it was something similar.
In which they've lost 3, okay one was against Man City but I thought they performed well in that game. The other two defeats they've looked below average and the loss of Luis Suarez is evident, the loss of Dan Sturridge is also apparent, for me Mario just doesn't care enough.Bit early to write them off,Its only 5 games.
Barney, the gigs up. Gerrard has been woeful this season and its not his spirit but his legs that are gone. Skrtel, Lovren and Sakho will start looking more solid as defenders once Gerrard stops playing.He was awful today, but he wasn't the only one. He's still got a lot to offer us. Playing with Lucas doesn't help him.
Anytime we have started Gerrard/Lucas together in the past year we have been utter dross in Midfield, too slow, no aggression and with Lucas at the base of the diamond, no penetration either.An absolutely awful display. Don't know why we start with Lucas and Gerrard.
Wow, you just became my favorite Liverpool supporter.Barney, the gigs up. Gerrard has been woeful this season and its not his spirit but his legs that are gone. Skrtel, Lovren and Sakho will start looking more solid as defenders once Gerrard stops playing.
Quote me on that. We can't keep using Lucas as his sidekick backup excuse.
Meaning, you were wrong.I did. We picked up 5 or 6 points less IIRC.
Suarez would have been in the stands for this game. Without his money we'd have Moses and Aly Cissokho playing alongside Skrtel and Sakho.Not being funny bro, but you aint spent well and Suarez was ded good.
You're nearly a worse defender of Liverpool than LovrenI did. We picked up 5 or 6 points less IIRC.
Do I need to dig up the race for the top four thread though ?
Can is a nothing player. So you dont have much options. You could drop Headless Henderson back. Joe Allen is another option.Barney, the gigs up. Gerrard has been woeful this season and its not his spirit but his legs that are gone. Skrtel, Lovren and Sakho will start looking more solid as defenders once Gerrard stops playing.

Go back a few pages and you'll see that is exactly what I said too. I also think our goalkeeping coach of the past few years (Achterburg - who came from that bastion of superb goalkeepers, Tranmere).One could argue it is the coaching that's the problem not necessarily the centre backs.
And you came back to gloat about being wrong. BrilliantI did. We picked up 5 or 6 points less IIRC.
Do I need to dig up the race for the top four thread though ?
Absolutely. However I wasn't the only one as at the time people said we'd be lucky to get 40 and things to that effect.Meaning, you were wrong.
City and Chelsea are locks for it. Arsenal always get in there too. We are only going to get better as the season progresses. We will be in the top 4.As hilarious as this is, think we're being a bit premature about Liverpool falling out of top 4.
We're yet to play a potentially tricky away fixture tomorrow and it is still only September. If they continue to underwhelm until Christmas while we rack up the points, then I'll start laughing.
In fairness to him, as ridiculous as some of his predictions were, he was almost spot on with that one.He predicted them to pick up about 57 points against the bottom ten sides or something. Don't quote me on that, just paraphrasing, but it was something similar.
Wow Twigginator?!? Welcome back mate, how were your holidays over the last 12 months? We've missed ya!I hope that Liverpool fans from last year stay on the forum.
You dropped points to Hull, Villa and Crystal Palace just off the top of my head which fell short of your prediction and actually gave yourself a chance of salvaging the title on goal difference against the latter opponents. Terrible predictions.I did. We picked up 5 or 6 points less IIRC.
Do I need to dig up the race for the top four thread though ?
Actually I think you are missing the influence he had, basically as soon as he was in possession he looked to drive forward, whereas Lucas would generally look sideways and slow play down to a snail's pace.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.
