Liverpool Thread 2014/15

God, they've got a horn on for us over at RAWK.
Apparently, we'll have to content ourselves with a maximum of one point from our first two games because Newcastle and their lot are so much fitter than us.

Hmmm... hasn't quite gone to plan for the, has it?

Gerrard looked well off the pace. I think they should have replaced him in the Summer, but they daren't for sentimental reasons.

Why are people ruled by fear? All our coaching staff have to do is quitely give him the eldery statesman role. If Scholes and Lampard can spend the latter years of their careers on the bench at the Rags and Chelsea, then why can't Gerrard be benched?

Because GBH picks the team.

It was about time Skrtel got flagged for holding Kompany's shirt on the corner.

They relied on Suarez for a lot of the creativity when they were going forward and that midfield trio isn't going to replace that. Mario is the great hope but as good as he can be, Mario is no Suarez. Also both us and Southampton clearly showed we'd sussed out how to play them. They got no room behind the back four last night, whereas they did in the two games last season. Other teams will have worked that out as well and without Suarez to drag the defenders all over the place they might well struggle to create as many chances. I was impressed with Mark over and think he'll cause some problems. He and Moreno caused havoc down our right until Navas came on and nullified the threat.

Last season it was tempting to defend deep against LFC to nullify Sterling and Sturridge but not many did it as it would leave Suarez the master dribbler on the edge of your box. Now teams can do it without fear

I suspect LFC will be top 6 but face a struggle to get 4th. Depends on how teams like Spurs, and Everton do. And as you say Mario. This is Mario's last chance. He should be super-motivated but no one knows with him.

Looked like he was trying to escape last night

I think they will be this seasons Spurs. Signings that Rodgers has made way too many and these players will all think they should be starting week in week out. There will be a moody dressing room come November if he cant find a way to keep all the new players and old players happy. Also this weekend they go to Spurs I just think Spurs have now got a team after a year of spending huge money on players they now look like a team so far. I think they will be fighting it out for a top 4 this season if they can get a goalscorer to score 20 odd goals this season. I expect Spurs to add some more misery to Liverpool this weekend.
