So, after an interesting weekend, I reckon Arsenal will be our main rivals? F Man U, they need to start getting results that match their performances!

Oh, and regarding managers, F**k Martinez and F**k Klopp ha ha ha!

I still can't believe the stick Rogers was getting at the start of the season, losing both your top scorers which includes your best player by a country mile is hugely disruptive. Credit for sorting it out so well even with a very limited set of strikers. I really think Rogers will lead Liverpool to titles over time, if he is given the chance & can keep the team together.

If we can add to the team in the summer then we can have a real go at the league next season....

Lovren is just average. For me he's the squad filler centre back.

A very expensive squad filler!

Think Laser has time to come good.

Please, please let's not mess this up by dropping points to Burnley on Wednesday.

Burnley will be a much harder game. They will set up with 10 men behind the ball with only Ings up front. We have always, always, struggled against teams that park the bus.

[BlackST]

Well we now have the tricky players to be able to work around the bus
Coutinho, Sterling, Lallana, Sturridge. All tricky players.
Funnily enough i've just read a stat, we are the only team from the top 7 to average less than 2 points per game against the bottom halfs teams this season.

[BlackST]

Totally forgot to try and buy a Blackburn ticket.
Getting to Wembley was never happening anyway with 1 x Bolton away and 1 x Blackburn home

Raja you were right by me
I was in MV row 19 seat 22

Bugger. Unlucky for the lad as he was settling in well.

We had (most) of them before. Problem is quite a few of them need space to do well. PC is perhaps one of the more obvious ones, real class if he has space and time on the ball, but tends to have a relatively poor game when no one is moving people ahead of him. Will be a tricky game. Sterling is a bit off form to what he can be, perhaps Sturridge is too, but hard to say yet with so little game time.

[BlackST]

He was indeed
Speaking about his stand in, Markovic is 21 today. 21 so young.

It was the defence that faltered and that had a knock on effect on the goal scorers as they were all busy defending - now we are solid(ish) at the back the flair guys can get stuck in - we nailed the system but it took 4 months hence Bren got stick.

[RedTrident]

He rightly got stick. Worst start in living memory etc.

Our defence was all over the place. Now he's doing better,he's getting praise. Key question for me is will we get top 4 or did the changes come too late and the damage already done.

Win the next 2 home games. and we're in the FA Cup semi final and at worst 2 points off 4th with 10 games to go. Most importantly, we're the form team.

[BlackST]

Still tickets for sale for Burnley if anyone is after some.

[m3sye]

And If he gets top 4 with the grief stop or does he have to do both?

Holy grail is Europe and rightly so, Bren must promise to learn from every Euro game he has been in charge of and not repeat anything next season, we have to qualify for CL for £ and prestige but to be kicked all over the show in every CL game is hard to watch.

[m3sye]

It's totally new for him he will learn

I don't think so. The defense was the same as before, it was the attack that fell apart as there was no movement/ natural finishers. Since that wasn't really going to change it meant BR had to sort out the defense, rather than relying on more goals that the opposition like he did before. Plus players got used to each other.

[m3sye]

What about Spurs RT ? BCM wont be happy - he was full of laughs i December when we mentioned us getting in the top 4
