Ha this is nothing new right.

Even when u play FM, sometimes u can win 6-7 games on a trot with 3-0, 4-0. Then suddenly u just keep losing with the exact same tactics over and over again. Then u are forced to tinker...

 

 

I want stevie G to be benched. Then be played further upfront as a sub.

The last game really passed him by...

 

 

Alonso was never quick.

Ok lah, a more thoughtful player vs someone who plays well on instinct.

 

Stevie G is still my favourite liverpool player of all time. Just that i think he needs a break from playing game after game. His performance levels are dropping alarmingly...

I maintain that his better performances (against chelsea and another team) was after he was benched.

 

 

Anyway the Neville on LFC. Being generous? Or he has secret agenda in keeping #RodgersIn?

Hehe

"'I have likened him worse than Dracula, because at least Dracula comes out of his coffin now and then. He seems to stay on his line and that's it.

'That whole area - not the six-yard area, the 18-yard area - is the goalkeeper's, and in this day and age, in modern goalkeeping, if you come out and catch the ball and you get smacked you are going to get the foul.

'It's not rocket science, and he is a big lad. As soon as that ball is in the air - get out, come for it.

'You're going to get a lot more fouls for you and less are going to go in the back of the net.'"

Wise words from Bruce Grobbelaar

But he no ball to say Gerard is the reason.

 

He already say no leadership on the pitch.......I think that's already pinpointing to Gerrard.

Bruce got it just about right. Mignolet does not command the area in front of him.

 

The GK is the last person and definitely has more time to direct the defenders in front of him. If you look at some of the great keepers - Schmeichel, Reina, Van De Sar, it is common to see the GK shouting instructions to the defenders.

 

Mignolet? Hardly see him doing that.

If FSG is not going to sack the manager, then something need to be done to help the team gain back confidence, concede less goals and start winning again. Supporters need to see leadership from the top and directions to help address current problems. And fast.

just 5 mths ago, fans were calling BR the new shankly, a legend in the making

 

and now this

 

Is he really that bad? there were games without suarez last season and pool managed to play good football without LS

 

i say it is the injury to DS and not being able to find the replacement(s) for strikers

 

the spurs game showed a glimpse of what pool can do.

 

New Shankly? Not me. The manager is just a well oiled media whore. Shankly is a socialist at heart.

 

If Sturridge's injury means Liverpool cannot function the way the manager wants it to be, then the manager is a one trick pony and Liverpool football club is in big problem under him.

 

The Liverpool I know dont just rely on one or two players.

3 - 0, Pool to lose...

 

Sad and hurts, but it is a realistic scoreline ....

Hopefully FSG can feel the heart pain, and quickly come out to tell BR off

Every week, one Liverpool player will say, let's turn it around... I think it's turning into a taboo to say this, especially coming from lallana's mouth. Noticed almost every week he gets interviewed in the liverpool website, strangely other more senior players not so much interviews.

Why November 26 should be known as Jan Molby day to Liverpool FC supporters

 

 

Jan Molby had many fine days in his 292-game, 11-year Liverpool FC career but few brought the best out of him more than November 26.

 

That date will certainly remain etched into the memories of the 41,291 enough to be inside Anfield in 1985 as that was when 'Rambo' single-handedly knocked league leaders and supposed-champions elect Manchester United out of the Milk Cup to kick-started what would go on to become the Reds' Double year.

A goal down to Paul McGrath's early opener, Molby's equaliser entered LFC mythology as for many years TV viewers were unable to enjoy his scintillating run and venomous shot because of a broadcasting dispute until a tape bequeathed to Molby by United manager Ron Atkinson was released. Worth waiting for wasn't it!

And then for good measure, 365 days later, Molby again wrote his name into Anfield folklore with a hat-trick of penalties against Coventry City in a League Cup (by then known as the Littlewoods Cup) tie at Anfield.

A quirk of the fixture list meant Coventry pitched up four days later for a league match - and Big Jan duly obliged from 12 yards again. Molby ended his career as Liverpool's most successful penalty-taker, succeeding with 42 out of his 45 attempts from the spot.

Liverpool first wore an all red strip 50 years ago against Anderlecht... Brendan Rodgers needs his players to be inspired by their famous kit just like Bill Shankly's were

  • Liverpool used to wear red shirts, white shorts with and white socks

  • But Bill Shankly switched to all red against Anderlecht in November 1964

Shankly believed the all red strip had a positive psychological effect

The style has since become synonymous with the Anfield club

Ian St John has many stories about Bill Shankly but none are as significant as the one which took place in November 1964.

He remembers sitting in a dressing room when the effervescent Shankly burst through the door. Shankly – a man who constantly had a plan – wanted Ron Yeats, Liverpool's captain, to do some modelling for him.

St John explained: 'Bill threw a pair of red shorts to Ronnie – "Get into those shorts and let's see how you look," he said. '"Christ, Ronnie, you look awesome, terrifying. You look 7ft tall!" He thought the colour scheme would carry a psychological impact – red for danger, red for power.'

In his autobiography, St John – whose place in Liverpool history was secured when his header won the 1965 FA Cup Final against Leeds – went on to say that it would be a good idea for Liverpool to go the whole hog and wear red socks, too.

So on November 25, 1964, that is how Shankly sent Liverpool into battle: red shirts and red shorts, ditching the white that had hitherto been their traditional colour. The reward was a 3-0 win over Anderlecht at Anfield in the European Cup, St John scoring the first goal of the night.

Since then, the strip has become one of the famous in world sport, a symbol of excellence and a uniform associated with success; think of those pictures of Liverpool captains lifting trophies since 1964 and, with the exceptions of the 1981 League Cup and 2001 FA Cup, they are all clad in red.

Shankly wanted Liverpool's kit to intimidate opponents, to make them think they were fighting a losing battle before a ball had even been kicked. After Anderlecht had been swept aside, he raced home to explain how successful the brainwave had been.



'Christ, the players looked like giants – and we played like giants,' Shankly would later recall. 'We used to play in white shorts with red stripes, white stockings with red tops and white piping on the jersey. But we switched to all red and it was fantastic.



'The introduction of the all scarlet strip had a huge psychological effect. I went home that night and I said to Ness: "You know something… tonight I went out onto Anfield and, for the first time, there was a glow like a fire was burning."'



That fire engulfed opponents for the best part of 25 years, when dominated through the 1970s and 1980s and it blazed through to their last title in 1990. It has sparked back into life sporadically since, most notably in 2001, 2005 and last season, but this year it is they who have been in danger.



A wretched start to a campaign that should have offered much needs a kick-start and how Brendan Rodgers could do with a result against FC Ludogorets similar to the one Shankly celebrated 50 years and one night ago when Anderlecht were dispatched.



Rodgers knows the history of the Red shirt and has spoken of how, in recent times, it has been a burden and weighed heavily on the shoulders of those who wore it. In Sofia on Wednesday evening, he needs it to be as inspirational – just how Shankly intended it to be.



:D
