haha...you think BR dun know about that...but can his players performed and not make silly mistakes...:)

LVG spent 250mil compared to Liverpool 120mil...I just read the thread...no much bad comments...think they gave up...:)

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Yes, we're missing Suarez and Sturridge. And we are missing Suarez more than we've expected and realised.

It's more than just the goals and assist contributed by him. His movement had create space for his teammates to run into and for player like Coutinho to thread his through passes. Opponents were simply running scared of him.

On the other hand, the core of the team is still the same as last season: Mignolet, Skrtel, Johnson, Henderson, Gerrard, Coutinho, Sterling.. and we weren't that bad during absence of Suarez last season. And though Gerrard is 1 year older, but the rest should be 1 year more mature. They can't turn into rubbish players overnight. We can't also blame the new players for not getting used to BPL as players like Lovren, Lallana, Lambert, Balotelli are not newbies to BPL.

I think the problem is in the players' head, they seem to lost that self-belief and self confidence.
We were so confident last season that we started every match so well, blowing teams like Arse and Spurs away before they realised what hit them.
Not sure whether it has to do with the loss of top sports psychiatrist Dr Steve Peters BR recruited in 2012 to help his players with the mental side of the game. He was poached by England National team in March 2014.

Nevertheless, it is down to the manager to sort it out, whether it's on the pitch or in the heads. Let's give BR some more time to turn things around. A new manager is no quick fix, and new manager means starting the rebuilding all over again.

Dortmund is undergoing a similar crisis (worse in term of league results but I think their overall performance isn't as bad as ours), and it will be interesting to see how Klopp, who is one of the most in-demand manager going to drag his team out of the slump.

Why is BR signing rejects from other teams? Pedro is available because he is not good enough to get into the Barca first XI.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Sometimes rejected player in a particular team does not equate to lousy player....

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Because the first 3 choices did not want to come to Liverpool. They rather go to other clubs. Example Sanchez at Arsenal.

Having said that , since Liverpool can't score goals, shouldn't Liverpool be good at keeping goals out ? Going for a draw is definitely much better than losing a game. A point earned is much better than all 3 points lost.

Don't know why BR keep on using 1 striker upfront when you have 3 available strikers. Already played 9 games and the result is plain for everybody to see. A 1striker is easy for the opponents to mark and of course to mark RS.

It will be an uphill task for Liverpool in the match against RM. They have to overcome a 3 goal deficit. They need to score at least 4 goals or more to overturn the result.

Liverpool surely is missing the SAS strike force. Liverpool lack the bite upfront. Liverpool is going through what Spurs have gone through.

The season IS gonna be tough for Liverpool fans all over the world this season.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Not that it really matters, but LVG actually spent something in the region of £150m compared to BR's £120m odd figure. The 250m figure you got may be in US $ bro?

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Ironically Liverpool's best game this season was against Spurs!!

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Football is such a funny game leh. On paper, we look very good with a Mr Nice Guy and intelligent coach BR, with a squad of talented young players (at least on CV la!). But somehow things juz do not gel, like oil and water.

Will it work if we sack BR and replace him with tough taskmasters like Jose Mourinho or SAF (juz an example la!)?

Will it work if we retain BR and sell some of the non performers during the Jan transfer window?

Saw some of our ex players on TV recently and doin well. Moses scored a goal for Stoke against West Ham last week, when he was struggling to score one with us all season long. Then Andre Wisdom the week before, provided an assist to the goal against Manure. And Aspas was quite brilliant for Sevilla against Bilbao ... not seen him play with the kind of zest n gusto when he was with us. Even Shelvey, save for the red cards, is becoming quite a key figure for Swansea.

So what's wrong huh? Is it our management? Is it the environment at Anfield? Or is it juz some strange footballing virus goin on? Guess only the Footballing Gods upstairs knows.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Pedro is a respectable talent. Liverpool should analyse if the team needs him.

Brendan Rodgers has Sterling, Coutinho, Lallana, and Markovic in the similar role. Henderson could also be roped in to contest for this position as he rose to fame playing for Sunderland in a advanced role.

Stewart Downing has been rejuvenated as well. Over the weekend he inspired West Ham to snatch a draw against Stoke City. He is in second place, behind Cesc Fabregas, in this season’s list of top creators in the Premier League.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Why does Liverpool needs to score 4 goals? :confused: A winning goal is enough to earn 3 points in the group.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Lol. Think wanker must be thinking its a 2 legged tie!

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

If only Liverpool can play like that for every game , I have no issues with the team. Sadly that does not happen and Liverpool seemed to be even struggling with lower teams.

Correct bro Owen10. Since the Champions League is on a home away game fixtures does the away goal counts more ? Do please correct me if I am wrong.
