"we should've start with strong midfield+carra instead of strong forward line to dictate our game,
i think for that game, Lucas for Borini and Carra for Coates was much better,selection of inexperienced kids cost us.
and don't forget Jones huge mistake,it's not his first time,we need a good keeper+LB asap"
"Its not Allens fault but he is just too flimsy for these sort of games. He just bounces off oponents. He is not big enough to win headers, and he gets shoved off the ball. I am afraid all BR's signings are the same lightweight players who will not survive in th PL.- I REALLY HOPE I AM WRONG!!! "
"Apart from Jones & Robinson all the other players regularly play in the starting 11 for Premiership matches. It was not a LFC B or youth team. They are not bad players so for them to lose without passion to Oldham (19th of 3rd Division) shows how much we have fallen with BR who have no excuse losing against inferior players"
"Did anyone analysed that how we perform badly against big bully players ?
Lukaku, Jones & Walters, Mirallas & Felliani, Smith (yesterday), Benteke, Lacina traore..."
"A very good manager can make average or inferior players to play better as a team against stronger teams with star players. But if you have very good players & lose constantly against Top, Midtable & 3rd division teams (lucky against Mansfield) then something is very wrong."
"Joe Allen, is single handedly the worst midfielder we have, Rodgers should be shot for giving him so many chances, he already proved many times this season he is boring, ordinary and contributes nothing to the team. Toothless shambles of a performance and they should hang their head in shame. Disgusted. "
"I LOVE YOU BRENDAN. NEXT 2 GAMES OURS. THE STRONGEST SELECTION FOR THESE VERY IMPORTANT MATCHES. RISE UP BOYS, FORGET THE LOSS THINK OF VICTORY IN UPCOMING MATCHES. LORD BE WITH YOU ALL. YNWA."
"Here we go again. Get the boot into our own players. We win and we are the greatest. We lose and we are crap. True supporters support our team and have constructive criticism, not emotional hysteria
"
"joe you are terrible, your weak,clueless, boring and would not make oldhams starting 11. in all honesty,what is it you bring to the team?
allen out, take borini with you"
"Some terrible comments here directed at Allen. How many times have we gone down this route of abusing our own players? For the "best fans in the world" you should be ashamed of yourselves especially "wmraker" and "The Irish Robbie Fowler". The way I see it, if Alonso or anyone doesn't see the same Anfield that it once was its your own damn fault for being so horrible."
"It's no good, there are too many players to offload at LFC, at least six! It's clear the yanks no nothing about football "we come not to play" and all that. And if i see Sterling in a red shirt again,i'm sorry the boy is rubbish imo we need kenny back.We are going backwards. rant over"
"Reason was simple, poor team selection. A Shelvy or Suso could make difference in our clueless midfield. The strikers were helpless with that lonball football..Hope the next two results be diffrent"
"I can't comprehend why we have people who call themselves fans but lambasting our players! There are good days and bad days in football! If they do well you praise them sky high and when we lose you kick them in the teeth! That is definitely not right! YNWA!"
"What is this supposed to mean? "- and Allen believes Liverpool had enough quality on show to have got the job done." - Where was the quality on show? The Midfield was completely overwhelmed by Oldham!"
"Allen, who cares about your feelings! What about us, the fans? Dumped out of the FA Cup!!!! against Oldham! How do you think we, the guys who earn a scrap of what you do, feel? You have disgraced this club. What about you millionares take out last weeks wages and give it to people who really need it!!!!!! Getting paid for yesterday's performance isday light robbery!!!!!!"
"The game was proof that we need that bit more experience in our squad. I don´t think Coates is good enough, so a new CB and LB would be good. Still, there´s no point in sulking. Lets focus on wednesday, and get the win."
"ANYWAY, IT WAS BR's TACTICAL BLUNDER, THE UNWRITTEN RULE IS: DON'T REST PLAYERS BEFORE YOU WIN THE GAME. WHAT WOULD BE THE BENEFIT OF THIS ALL IF WE LOSE TO ARSENAL AND MAN CITY! Contrary to what we are made to believe, the team in in steep decline from the era of KKD, when we lifted the league cup, reached the finals of the FA cup and finished in 8th! Certainly this can't be bettered this season"
"we have worst midfield without gerrad allen poor to say the least we missed lucus badly, we need experienced midfielder who doesnt pass sideways like allen
snider alonso would be perfect waste of money on borini and allen"
"I agree KidOfKop, also noticed that our defenders are softees, even the smaller strikers take advantage of that fact.They need to realise this is not a playstation video game - people pay hard earned money to see real gutsy performances and winning from highly paid players."
"Allen is not crap, some "fans" on here need to catch on...he hasnt played well of late but long way off crap. Was our best player at the start of the season for good few games. Made the GB olympic team. YNWA Beat Arsenal Wed please :)"
"ON THIS DAY IN 1994:
Liverpool were fifth in the Barclays Premier League, but were 21 points behind leaders Manchester United at the time of his exit. "I took this job believing that I could return the club to its former glory but this proved to be more difficult than I anticipated," Souness said. AND WHAT IS BRENDAN RODGERS DOING? WE ARE A LAUGHING STOCK"
"it's every fan's right to moan, thats what we do, but to abuse and tell players of your beloved team to go leave etc is not the Liverpool way, we used to be known as the best supporters in the world with YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE mantra, some of you would want to learn our anthem and try to understand what the words mean, cont"
"wmraker SAF has made plenty of bad signings. What did he see in Bebe that we don't. Allen is a good player going through a rough patch. He was brilliant at he start of the season"
""MEN AGAINST BOYS" AND WHILST REBUILDING AND IT DOES LOOKS GREAT I AGREE BUT DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF THE MIX OF EXPERIENCE AND YOUTH, JUST LOOK AT ARSENAL,THEY WIN NOTHING!
KEEP IT GOING RED MAN YNWA."
"SURE OUR LEAGUE FORM IS GOOD... CRAP, WELL BETTER TELL EVERYONE TO STOP DREAMING FROM CHAMPIONS LEAGUE! 8th or 10th EPL finish wont be enough to qualify..."
"tbh joe your a the worst liverpool buy ever , you can only pass backwards . perfetic ! 15 mill for a idiot . you an yeh mate brendon should take a reall look at yourself and start given 100% . or atleast show you care . ronnie robbo"

"SURE OUR LEAGUE FORM IS GOOD... CRAP, WELL BETTER TELL EVERYONE TO STOP DREAMING FROM CHAMPIONS LEAGUE! 8th or 10th EPL finish wont be enough to qualify..."
"we were terrible you should all be ashamed of yourselves i had a horrible bluenose sat next to me in the pub and he had a tenner on oldam to win at 9 to 1 and he was right "
"cont...please dont call yourselves Liverpool "supporters" because you are NOT supporting LFC, I am not happy with yesterday and I kicked me cat under the sofa, but I am 100percent behind Brendan and everyone involved with LFC including the players not playing well, we all love Lucas and look how long it took for him to find his way, to the true SUPPORTERS I say YNWA."
"Butragenio, right on he button mate!! No more free lunch from BR for them. Time for the millionaire players to have some introspection and decide if they are in it to win it? Or just for the cash and a jolly old kick-a-bout."
"you are not good enough to step up to the plate yet. Stevie showed you whats required, you have a long way to go particularly for a small player like you."
"I chuckle at the abuse I got on these boards not long ago when I questioned if Allen is any improvement on Jay Spearing. We need a midfield destroyer- A Diame type."
"I think it shows we have never replaced Hyypia and even though Carra is in the twilight of his career, he still knows how to defend better than anyone else at the club."
"Hee hee, great one rotchie, how's the cat. How bout giving our beloved team a heads up regarding yer cat, it only has 9 lives and at the rate our team is going that cat wont be around come the end of May. Start a save-my-cat campaign in the dressing room and raise funds for the SPCA from the team everytime they disappoint!!"
"Stop moaning and support the team. This site is filled with your negative comments. It wasn't our day simply. Please think it twice before sending negative comments. It doesn't help anyways. People want positivity not negativity."
"Agree that we are too easily and too often bullied by opposition physicality. SG was not taking any of it, pity there weren't a few more like him. Also there are times when some of our boys should be told a few home truths by BR - ie face to face, like he did with Enrique and Downing. Any player wearing the jersey should always give 100% +. Lets move on very quickly YNWA"
"great! We are not gonna win back the League Cup and we will not be in the FA Cup final - bad team selection - Robinson? Play the kids when the game is won BR - Robinson? and Jones to blame for their 2nd goal!"
"Love that comment Rotchie, However according to Buddha yesterday, had I done the same I would have no-one else left for company!lol Although he did notice my energy saving light bulbs so fair play to him. Buddha lighten up oh enlightened one!"
"Robinson, have respect for & listen 2 experienced players. rude of you NOT to listen to Suarez - he was right. We were chasing, 70something minute & U blast ball out the ground. I hope you have apologised - idiot!"
"People that abuse Hendo need to realise that he's a better player than joe Allen, he's better at defending and much more of a goal threat, Hendo should start against arsenal he's on form. YNWA"
"We cldnt handle Matt Smith - our for Andy Carroll! Coates is weak! Why not experienced Carra? Anyway, forwards boys, we need 3 points against Arsenal and 3 points against Man City - BR - no Kids!"
"hindsight is a wonderful thing as i thought the team looked capable on paper to win that game but hey thats football as they say spurs,norwich and qpr found out the same thing especially qpr whos top class manager got it wrong big time"
"Been supporting the Reds since 1970 and that was one of the worst team efforts I've ever seen. No guts, no passion, no effort. Fine the whole team a weeks wages. My wages would be docked if I went to work and didn't perform."
"BR is putting lots of blame on the Kids - he put them in the team! We needed quality in the middle - he said something like that? Wesley Sneijder is what we needed. Coutinho is another Kid!"
"champy128th Jan 2013 10:01 that was 9th life, the kids keep asking "where's the cat".... I'm buying them a gold fish today. hope our results get better or there's gonna be water everywhere. "
"Why is it that Rodgers seems incapable of getting the team selection right ? We start with one striker against Man Utd and three strikers against Oldham. Has he never heard of a balanced 4-4-2 ? The man thinks he's a tactical genius, another Pep Guardiola, when in fact he's another Roy Hodgson."
"games like these are when the meedioca players we have stop and think "holly crap we are soo lucky that LFC think we're good players because there were better on the opposition side than me and their in league 1 !" "
"You were very poor in the first 60 mins! I'v got to say that you cant be played alone in the midfield without steven G! No pass from the midfield to d strikers!
Plus headless Jones clamouring to become 1st team keeper! He should just move on to find that and we wish him goodluck! Just u know u guys disgrace us yest!!"
"Brendan made a mistake yesterday it wasnt a place for kids to be given a chance, as soon as I saw the team sheet I knew we were in trouble, they let us know what it would be like from the very first tackle on Joe, which should have been a red card by the way."
"Well Allen to tell you the truth, you need to push yourself a bit in the near future, you should have a talk with Stevie and Lucas and have them help you step up your game. If you do nothing and carry on this way you will have to get used to that feeling. You make BR look bad son, just take action and keep your chin up. YNWA"
"NigelM - well said, spot on! 1 striker against Manure and 3 against Oldham and now he is blaming the kids! 4-4-2 with Suarez and Sturridge - Podolski is back for Arsenal - keep Allen OUT!"
"I cant belive Brendan Played Robinson & Coates and the Comments Robinson made on the field to the "Almighty" Our(No 7)was plain for all to see Even the kids commented on it Disgusting "
"BR needs to remember to pick players who are in form.Secondly Allen is NOT a poor player sadly he isn't in form.Sterling seems to think he has made it with a new contract and now needs dropping into the reserves for a week or 2 to wake him up.Finally Shelvey isn't anywhere near Gerrard but if your resting the skipper Shelvey needs to take his place as he is the only other CM with any drive. "
"Sometimes I wonder if some people have any brain cells. We have two massive games coming up and some are still bleating about BR team selection. His only mistake was playing Suarez and Sturridge. He should have played all the kids and if they were not good enough then that tells its own story. If we win these two games or at least get points then this cup game will be forgotten. "
"Peacemaker we all Love our NUMBER 7 but to call him ''Almighty'' is another thing. He is special but he knows who the Almighty is as he is religious as well. "
"if the owners are happy with the lack of quality and ability in the squad and they dont want to bring anymore players in b4 the summer then sell up and do one i dont blame rodgers the squads to small and not good enough the kids need more time to develop you cant expected them to do a mans job"
"i woz embarressed by y'days game, but more embarressed by some o the comments on ere. oldham wanted it more y'day than we did. the team put out woz good enough ta win. Only change i would poss make woz carra in 4coates. but we should still have had enough ta win. YNWA
"
"monkeyhangersunited. Ask kenny to come back?! Leave the old man alone. He was supposed to retire in the fame of Legend until some goons ask him to manage the Club in the new age of tactical football he is not familar with. Now fans on the street will ask him "where is our $100million", "How Carrol?" You folks taint his name."
"BR's Lineup tactics r totally wrong. Allen has good skills, but too fragile when being attacked and he has to be on the spot to defend which fails him.
I have to blame BR for letting too many poor players on the pitch. "
"Joe scored yesterday which is a positive.Hopefully he can build upon that as up to now he really hasn't justified his purchase.
I think Borini is just not going to work out though.
Next 2 games vital.At least 4 points please BR.
Hope we can keep the momentum going at home."
"Think Brendan is wrong to make kids scape goats when experience players on the bench the back 4 was a shambles so now we need to look at wednesdays game as our season ."
"We don't have the squad yet to fight on all fronts so we have to be cute with our resources. BR inherited an ageing and dysfunctional squad so the surgery is going to take a while. Some fans expect miracles but I am afraid is not around. Lets see what happens in the coming weeks "
"A sobering thought on the game yesterday is that for all Oldham's triumphs they are contemplating sacking their manager. Oh my God what for, you may well ask, its the thorny issue of their dismal league position. So even they recognise that a cup win is no where as significant as their league position. "
"Finally, I had to chuckle when the name of Spearing appeared on these pages. We must have had a dismal day at the office for the anointed one to be mentioned. You should ask the Bolton fans what they think of our lost hero, it wont make pretty reading, they would gladly give us money to take him back. "
"No ,we didnt have the quality , if we had we would have won. Rodgers picked the wrong team if he wanted to progress. We were out thought ,out fought and out played. The only consistant thing Liverpool have delivered this season is the ability to dissapoint. You more than most MR Allen ! "
"I hope that Joe Allen settles and sorts his game out cos BR does know this player- Just feel physically he'll never 'be there'. And my point re Jay Spearing is that we could have saved the 15 million (more than Neverton paid for Felliani btw) and had an equally small and ineffective player."
"He has been told to assemble a young squad that will bear fruit in the future. The reasoning behind this is simple. By buying young players they will come at a reasonable price. We will then have the ability to turn these young pups into gems, not only moulding them into the Liverpool way but also increasing their value, cont.. "
"Allen, please walk the talk. Your performances in the LFC jersey at times were below par. You remind me of Charlie Adam. Big in a small club, but battling to come to grips in a big club. Forever Red!"
"Hindsight is a wonderful thing. However, whoever are signing these 'potential players' needs to be signing players that also actually improve our first team- cos sadly, Borini and Allen dont. Thats my fear. Always back them when in red however!"
"Bad day at the office that is all it is. Few players and manager made mistakes. It Happens we are a fresh young team with new ideas we will get more days of this. We are improving and we will be great soon. I hope the s and manchity think we will be easy pushover. C'mon u REDS!!!!"
"A Miserable Result that Was Miserable to watch to say least!! Why oh why on a weekend of major upsets having the chance to progress we put out a weaker side rather than strongest available to start with, i dont kbow.? IT WAS CRAP! full stop!From Team selection Down.. No excuses! Now everyone stop making excuses...get ready for Wednesday night and redeem yourselves! Please!"
"Raheem also deeply disappointing lately. Why has he stopped doing the things that got him into the first team? Beating players, dancing up the wings, getting supporters off their seats?"
"TBF to Brendan- He did say that there would be days like this 'its all part of the dance' quote/unquote. He knows whats going on and whats needed. He also thought that he could put his faith in 11 players to beat Oldham in a game, and they did let him down. Could strangely be a blessing in disguise 'moving forward re league'.?"
"Buddha -we won league cup last season and was in FA cup final - was it not KK and which players did we have? All 3 strikers against Oldham, one cld have got injured. We need our strongest team for Arsenal & Man City"
"I love it when our resident idiots complain about a player doing an interview when asked.. As if they should turn it down because we lost.. "No, sorry I can't answer questions, as required in my contract, because we lost and some online muppets don't think I should..." Grow up plonkers.. "
"In my humble opinion Joe Allen hasn't been worth his 15 million pound tag since he came here, nor has Henderson, how long before Boroni starts to play and Downing looks like he's going to cry when a defender gets within a couple of yards of him. Liverpool also need cover at left back because Robinson is not good enough,if Johnson or Enrique had been fit we wouldn't have lost the game"
"Robinson is a DONKEY - he needs to apologise to Suarez. He should NOT have gone for that shot, wen we chasing game - put in 6 yard box - the kids are not gonna learn if not prepared to take advice from the seniors"
"Always a Red: it's no good quoting facts to fools mate. Facts are simply annoying things that get in the way. Facts are to be ignored, because they only prove that some people don't know what they are talking about.. Memories are very short on this site, as are the numbers of real fans.."
"Allen was not bad ind this game, he did okay won Duals and kept the Ball in our ranks plus HE scored hid first Liverpool goal so theese comments against him i Think is not fair to him so support him instead of insulting him in a match where he did okay ! Ynwa (Allen) redmen "
"Doesn't feel like we have had a settled back 4 all season.Not to mention the goalkeepers suffering injurys and being rotated.
this can't be helping at all.
Can't see how Borini or Allens stock are rising.Unless we sell them in 2025!"
"I am devastated me too Joe and I think I will need a bit of time to bounce back from that embarassment. Shame on some of your teammates who did not put effort enough and played distractely! The club pay big amount of money not to betray his supporters after all! Our defence was crap and we are all responsible, not just BR! Please lads, do a self-examination today YNWA"
"what amazes me here is the amount of small minded fans here, I know this is not a a true reflection of the average LFC fan, in a cup game anything can happen!! and it often does! A cup game is no reflection on a team. hence why they changed the european cup to the champions league!!! so a true reflection of a team competes..."
"any team on any day can beat each other, Greece became the european champions... no team has a right to beat any other! otherwise at the start of a season, we should just rate players on a one to ten basis and the team with the highest score is given all the trophies....this is the beauty of football, nothing is gauranteed... the only way it can be!"
"the worst feeling is we paid 15 million for you and your the wrong type of player we need! We need an engine like Yaya Toure or a mascherano who is very aggressive and bullies other teams into submission, you are a lightweight crab!"
"read from some posters that the absence of a true alternative to Lucas could cost us dear, and so it was. Joe Allen is grey area, he can't afford to hold the midfield and made the opportune exceptions he's innocuous upfront, Hendo is a box to box midifielder. We need a backup for Lucas, but I believe we will be obliged to wait for the summer..."
"it is arrogant and childish to think we should win just because we are above them in league status.. Give Oldham credit the fought for the win, but i bet all of the fans would prefer to be higher up the table than go on a cup run, this was our failing last season, the manage went for cups instead of the league this small minded mentality crippled the clubs progess!"
"To be honest chaps, I thought Allen played ok. There was unbalance in the side that was plain to see by anyone. Keep off Allen's back please. There was a load of ifs and buts, such as had the players not been oide from Hendo's free kick we may have won etc etc. Stop dwelling on it. Lets look to Wednesday and hope we can put things right."
"I think allen is more suited to european football, and we do need someone like Diame as an alternative to Lucas, allen is a very good player but players are starting to bully him a little, so he needs to toughen up and quickly!"
"No disrespect to Oldham, when you've been knocked out by a team in League One then something has definitely gone wrong somewhere (Allen)....we know,we know...we have seen it...."
"Please,please,please get rid of coates B.R. he cost us the game on sunday and a chance in the F.A. cup.and joe allen is not much better. we will be lucky if we finish in the top 6 this year.Y.N.W.A. "
"this is what the cup is all about you cannot take any game for granted, some of the most expirienced managers/teams got caught out at the week end, Rafa and Rednapp have red faces today also."
"mikey96ryan - Allen worst LFC signing ever?Really? Salif Diao, El Hadj Diouf, Bruno 'the next Zidane' Cheyrou, Ronny Rosenthal I could go on!Mate,you clearly havent been a fan for long!
On the game, should have started Cara. Experience."
"Disappointed to be out of the cup and not have a chance to go back to Wembley but the league is our #1 priority! Arsenal on Wednesday is a must win imo. Win that and 4th place is on lose and it's gone..."
"Having had a day to think about what to say after that performance all I can say we were light weight and got bullied off the ball.When we lost the goal in two minutes the game plan went out of the Window. We lost the ball too many times withiut an Oldham player near us.CONTD "
"Not fair to play Coates against when he has not had any first team game time for ages. Need to blood in players as subs instead of starting. Experience was required in the awful conditions and this is where the likes of Carra come in.No creativity in midfield until Stevie came on. Downing had a decent game.CONTD"
"the fa cup is gone lets concentrate on the league position, if we play the way we did in the second half against manure in the next two mathces I can see us beating the gooners and citeh."
"That was a disappointing display. Just didn't appear to be much passion coming from our side of the pitch, while Oldham brought it to spare. Need to move on and compete well with Arsenal and City. YNWA"
"I think signing a contract has gone to Sterlings head. What has happened to his mazy runs.I am not slating an individual player but collectively we played badly and need to learn how to bounce back after losing a goal or two.The fight yesterday was not there. Move on now to the next two crucial games."
"to rotchie. thank you for your kind words mate, We get toomany knee jerk reactions on here, if we win all happy if we lose the anti BR brigade come out in force!"
"you talk a lot of sense too, but we dont have any excuses now for pushing up the league table and doing well in Europe, its probably for the best, harsh I know as we all love a good cup run... but if it means we have eurpean football next season the I am all for it!"
"Joe Allen. Been a nightmare everytime seeing you in the starting XI. The fact is, you are good at all to play for LFC. Expensive awful FLOP. Get the hell out of LFC. You are not wanted here. We always loose when you play. "
"That result was be expected with so many younsters in the team and not enough established experienced players supporting
them.FSG cost cutting policy has left the team unbalanced.Quality experienced players needed now or will continue to go backwards."
"No it is not!
It is coming from Liverpool and being a fan since 1961 then watching mediocre players representing our great club. I am fed up and thoroughly disgusted with the way the club has been run and managed for the last twenty years. It is diabolical. Gerard, Suarez deserve better players in the team "
"I missed something yesterday !!! Jack Robinson swearing at Luis Suarez ??? can't believe this and if true I hope he has apologised to Luis and the club sorted this ??? unbelievable what's happening to LFC ..."
"The fans and supporters showed up for the game but unfortunately our players decided to take the day off. What a pathetic display from the players and hope the ones who were given the chance to play get an earful from BR. Not good enough from the players. Shame on you. "
"agree, Robinson should apologise. Suarez was capt until SG came on, no respect, I hope BR slates him behind closed doors. And BR is right to have a go, he's always defending the squad, man up youngsters."
"just can't believe it, this is the called of the greatest supporters in the world..
all players must be more dissapointing than us,, just support and behind them! the big game are ahead! we can win it! You'll Never Walk Alone... (4everyone in a red shirt)"
"Wtchd the FA game & the playrs need to pull up there socks. A lb shud b a priority & i hpe FSG wtchd the game we were nt evn dvssn 3 lvl.Clearout & a hairdryer treatmnt is ovr due"
"A lightweight midfield, we were out muscled. We don't seem to be able to handle any team that"hustles us" & this being an FA cup tie against lower division, that's exactly what Oldham had to do and DID."
"Looking at Sunday's midfield line-up of Sterling, Allen and Henderson, you could see were going to struggle. The question is, who was ever going to win the ball for us? Maybe Henderson, but he was anonymous for large portions of the game. "
"Add to that the fact that Coates and Jones both had dreadful games. Borini tried hard, but looked ineffectual and Robinson's frustration just seemed to be building throughout. The line-up was just wrong really. I just hope all those players learn from the experience and don't get too downhearted. "
"Maybe playing younger players with a better mix of experienced players, rather than them all playing at once, will mean that they don't get too discouraged in the future."
"We started with 4 attackers and only 2 midfielders, that is also why they beat us.
As we introduced Gerrard and downing we improved but it too late, BR team selection was poor!"
"We are enled to outrager after a bad game. Then we should move on to suppor the team espcially if we are facing Arsenal, which took points from us at Anfield. All this post match analysis given with amazing precision by players must be directed at the next game. We need to see fighters, not people who get bullied from the ball!! Fight Reds, Fight!!!"
"I am still baffled that our "so-called" manager left shelvey on the bench for who? Borini or Sterling? He got it all wrong...he needs to stop experimenting and win games...this is a disgrace..."
"SG and JC need to have the youngins over for a class in mental tenacity and drive. Maybe while they're at it, explain that magic doesn't happen everytime you touch the ball just because you play for Liverpool! A lot of pass attempt during this match screamed arrogance, as in "I'm so good, watch me dink it around this sub-par defender... OOOPS AGAIN!""
"Funniest and outragous comment today. UEFA changed the shape of the European Cup too make it fairer as cup competi-tions are not a true reflection. Come on, we all know why UEFA changed things-Money! Cup competitions/knock outs are deemed important and that was a discrace yesterday. I don't want BR sacked but not going to make silly excuses for the guy. Now roll on Weds"
"Joe Allen I dont even see the reason y u commenting when u still got a lot 2 learn. U have been making blunders in quite a few games gone past and with Oldham nothing from u was different u should have drop long ago but u are the coach blue eye boy.
"
"We must beat the gooners tomorrow Rotchie, would'nt want to see the local pet shop running out of pets to sell to you. Don't want the kids naming a new pet every week either. Fingers crossed that the lads will do the job."
"We were extremely poor in the first half and conceeded two stupid goals thanks to Jones and Robinson. What surprised me the most is the way Robinson behaved through out the match. He committed a lot of mistakes and had the guts to insult suarez who kept on trying to revive the team. i think the club must investigate on this gentleman. i am suspecting something fishy about Robinson. "
"Hey no one has noticed that on sunday all the big teams were held by underdog teams.Fishy,Fishy,Fishy. Must check bookies transactions on this particular day. Could there be match fixing!!!"
