Dokko Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Think Rodgers has done himself no favours with his little rant at the officials. The offside decision was disgraceful, but the rest were correct, all he's done is detract Liverpool and their good form and put the focus elsewhere. Be interesting to see how the team responds.

Guest Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Back-to-back defeats, out of the top 4, only 2 clear of Man U & Spurs and not being even in a Europa Cup spot now...2-2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 0 points from their 2 big tests. Outside the top 4 at the halfway stage of the season - unsure how it can be anything other than 2-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad they lost the big headed cunts. Rodgers little rant which will hopefully see him banned hasn't helped their cause at all. Fingers crossed the next game they drop points and manure go ahead of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 They're about where people would think they would be, so 2-2 it is. They have to be considered title challengers due to a) how open it is at the top and b) having the best player in the world of the past couple of months in their team. Then again, Suarez has been rather a lot less effective in the past 2 games when he hasn't been against awful defenders. I don't think they'll win the title and I don't think they'll finish 2nd or even 3rd. Doesn't mean they won't challenge though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 4, Rodgers leads, if they slip out of the top 6, Parky leads, otherwise, draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Then again, Suarez has been rather a lot less effective in the past 2 games when he hasn't been against awful defenders. He's a flat-track bully. Read a stat the other day that showed virtually all of his goals come against clubs outside the "Top 6". Something like more than a goal a game against crap clubs and one in three against the "big teams". If anyone who cared enough to dig that up I'd be appreciative Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 The stat I read was of his 19 goals, 16 were against sides in the bottom 7. 19 goals at the halfway stage is still impressive though, and he missed a heap of games as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Liverpool have improved massively over the last 2 or so seasons and deserve to be in front for their football alone. They managed to keep Suarez and are also getting the best out of him. Average players like Henderson have also improved and they realised their errors with Carroll and Downing and quickly peddled them. A few Liverpool fans I know say this is as good as they've seen them play in a long long time. I still think it wil, all come crashing down on them though, but up to now, they should leading.

Raconteur Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Err … what would you expect? More goals against better opposition? Not at all - but if the numbers that Froggy produced are correct (and they sound familiar) then he's battering the rubbish teams but hardly scoring against good defenders. He's "one of the best in the world", but only against poor defenders...? Doesn't it concern you as a Liverpool fan that he doesn't get on the score sheet in the big games you really want to win?

Ashley17 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Sick of hearing how much Henderson has improved. He's obviously a decent player, but since all their injuries he's played in a free role with no responsibility and he's done well. Fancy that.

It's hardly just about him, is it? Better opposition means less possession, fewer scoring chances. The fact that we aren't beating better sides is a concern, Suarez's individual goal tally not so much. 1 goal in 3 games against the teams around us is hardly something to be sniffed at. Saying, "ah, but he does so much better against weaker opposition" doesn't change that. Obviously, I'd prefer it if he were banging in three every week, regardless of who we're playing, but I don't see it as great cause for concern nor evidence that he's a "flat-track bully".

Froggy Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 This stage last year Van Persie had scored 14 , including the winners against Liverpool and City away and goals in an away win at Chelsea and a home win at Arsenal. Were people raving as much about Van Persie last year as they are about Suarez this year? A fit RVP is still the better player IMO and will make the difference in a title race. If Suarez starts doing it against the big sides then Liverpool will be right up there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suarez is far and away the best player in the Premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 RVP is massively overrated. Like 80 goals in his last 110 in all competitions. Scores against the big sides. Can take free kicks, penalties and corners and still overrated... What exactly would he have to do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I really don't think he's overrated at all, one of the best strikers in the world when he's fit and playing every game. Was unreal the last 2 seasons before this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I don't think he's over rated either, just not in Suarez' class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
