I think most Liverpool fans now accept the reality that they are a mid-table club, albeit it one with much loftier ambitions, and some would suggest a better playing squad than 7th/8th suggests. I just think that when you bring in someone like Rodgers, who believes in a certain way of playing the ga...

It’s too early to judge really – and a shame in a sense for Rodgers from his perspective that the Liverpool opportunity came at this stage, would have been interesting to see if Rodgers might have taken Swansea forward again this season after their excellent first year at this level. A lot of people...

Kebe is our Messi Name me one match in the last 5 matches where he played well? I'm talking recent weeks, i said before he did well when he came into the side 10 games ago.

West Brom (h). That's 3 starts ago for him, 5 games including his sub appearances.

Either way, he hasn't been "useless".

andrew1957 And if not we will have a far better squad for 2013/14 than we had at the end of 2011/12 and be in pole position for a quick return and be much better equipped for the PL next time round.

Nope.

Kebe is our Messi
Everyone who wants guthrie back in the team can jog on, he has been useless the last few weeks.

Oh fcuk off, he absolutely hasn't.

Apparently if you include games for Wales, Ryan Giggs' next game will be his 1000th senior appearance. Incredible!

What was your bet paula?

windermere_royal is McD coaching this lot?..big isolated front man, where have I seen that before?

On quite a few League Two grounds, I expect!

Of course, a proper analysis means doing some, well, proper analysis. I think any manager is going to suffer in comparison to Ferguson, if that's the benchmark then all managers are shit. I just thought it interesting that a win-rate of around 40% in what is still a fledgling managerial career - thi...

PieEater I thought Akpan did OK, it was Jem who was useless. Runs around an lot but doesn't actually do much.

For those calling for Guthrie, he has the potential to be good for us in a 5 man midfield but the last few chances he's had he was useless and rightly dropped.

No he wasn't!

Same old sh1t from the same old whiners. Always moan when we lose & nothing good to say when we win.

Well that's patently not true.

Difficult to see past a comfortable Swansea win, but surely every neutral in the country is a Bradford fan for the day? Laudrup asked pre-match if he has watched Bradford at all; I'm sure they are well prepared, but his answer, "well obviously we saw them in the semi-finals, and against Arsenal...

He's won just 40% of all games in his managerial career. Not sure where the hype comes from. Very average Pretty meaningless stat without context so I looked up another one. Rodgers career win record is 41.75%. David Moyes' win record at Everton is 41.79%. What's Moyes overall win record ? His win ...

Ouch, yep, that was a red card. Frustrated but ultimately pretty vicious lunge. Very poor.

dizzynewheights Prolly mentioned elsewhere but today was man yoos first away game to be played at 3pm on a Saturday in over 2 years

That's mental.



Peach of a hit by Rafael for their first.

TheLawnMowerMan I really don't understand why people have a problem with other people exercising free will?
Only point I'm trying to make - try not to judge others.

However, those trying to judge others need to be judged.
That's my job

Not judging anyone, just taking the piss out of them.

Half the problem is our full backs don't get up and support. We can't double up on their full backs because ours are shit. I think that's a lot of the problem. Looks at how Chelsea play the system, and when they have the ball Cole may as well be a second left-winger, and Ivanovic spends a lot of th...

You seem very confused. I made it quite clear in my post that I've no issue with people leaving the game early, I am absolutely 'letting people do what they want'. But if you leave a game early and Reading enjoy a remarkable comeback win, you should expect, and take with good humour, a bit of a rib...
