All the senior players are awful today. Gerrard, Agger, Johnson, Skrtel, even Suarez.. But surely Downing was the worst of them all.

We did ok on 1st half but lack of chances and finishing kill us. Same ol story.. We need a poacher striker that could convert chances. Suarez are good at creating but awful on finishing.

WTF Downing on the right and Johnson on the left????

Come on... 1st game of season already talk about sacking? FFS... Be real abit..

Delusional some of you lot..

Im off... Esok got raya to celebrate.. Happy Eid!

The lad are in the middle of kicking the ball when brums striker steal the ball from behind. So he accidentally kick him instead. He really did not saw the player coming.

I can see freekick given if outside the box but inside its a bit soft to give away a penalty. In most cases it wont be given. Any neutral would say the same thing. But the ref award the penalty anyway.. nothing can be done.

The team deserved the beating.. no excuses. WBA continue to be a boogey team. Oh wel... Roll on next game.

to be honest the played like crap yesterday. no disrespect to Hearts, but our team make team looks like world beaters. Their goalie rarely tested by our players.

can't really blame Borini and forwards because he midfield just doesn't work at all. 20 passes amongst the CM and fullbacks in own half then pass back to Reina. then hoofs the ball forward making it easy to intercept by Heart players. when we do trying to pass forward, the passes are wasteful. Shelvey having a bad game amongst them all. like a headless chicken out there.

we have good prospect in Sterling. the lad still young and lightweight but he will be boss in couple of years. Borini while not effective in this game... it looks like he is trying hard. he needs Suarez and creative players to play amongst him.

btw, we can start making a counter on how many times we hit the goal post this season.

how many chances are they?

thats 3 chances which he should burried the ball in the net.. no excuse from him.. but only 3 chances in 90 mins.. against Hearts.. shocking, no?

as you said, he got good movement and linesman being an arse flagging him offside when he timed his run just nice. give him a couple of games to get better understanding with other team mates and he'll be ok.

yes, in the end the player have rights to reject any offer because they have contract. they can stay put during entire duration of the contract and the club can't do anything about it. but club can terminate the contract and reimburse the player.. same like what they do when sacking a manager.

Gutted because we should have won it. Still its not all bad..

Sterling, Allen and Shelvey was impressive. Downing and Adam time is up and they probably know it.

More of the same next week please..

It should be the other way around..

this Allen guy is good. he was compose.. calmly taking Lucas responsibility after he out injured. Hopefully its a minor injury.

Sterling though good at forward he still need to learn on tracking back and help the defense. Also need to bulk his body up. Kid got a bright future ahead of him.

And I haven't seen Gerrard play like he did for a long time. Yesterday he was running around winning tackles like he used too.

If we keep playing like yesterday we have a chance with Arsenal.

Borini is yet to find his footing in the team. In City game, his link up with Suarez and Gerrard kinda good. Need a little bit time to adjust and create a full understanding with Suarez. I like him to succeed.


Sturridge for 25million? No thanks..

Goal.com is not a relevant source but

Good riddance is a bit harsh. He maybe not as talented as Gerrard but he is a local lad that play with his heart on his sleeve. Impress in couple of games he appeared on but he merely a squad player. He probably want a regular 1st team football and knows he will not get any with LFC. Good luck to the lad.

I'm not sure I'm reading this right.. BR did well making Swansea stay up the premiership last season but thats about it. Kenny has proved he is a great manager. BR yet to do that..

Its too early to praise BR that highly.. dont get carried away.

was wondering this too. we have fell way down if we have resorted to nurture other team for a season then give them back. loan and buy option should be in the contract clause.

you guys seems to forget about the players salary.... aguero, balotelli, mata and hazard all raking more than 100k a week while carrol is no more than 60k (if the report is correct).. so 5 years contract + than 20++ millions is way more costly.

the club can pay that big because the money from selling torres. but can't sustain paying big wages.. i dont really know its true or not but gerrard is the only one in our club that earn more than 100k/week.

I most probably left some but liverpool best transfers after 2000 should be Hyppia, Alonso, Agger and maybe Gary Mac.

its always a bigger gamble when you bought a foreign players than a local one. you never know what is the outcome.. case in point: veron, sheva, mutu..

dont get me wrong, i myself think the carrol transfer is the biggest mistake ever but we cant just compare (at least not directly) the outrageous fees with others like aguero, hazard and all.. lfc is not that rich and couldn't afford to pay their salaries for 5 uncertain years. the only reason we could pay because of torres money and in hurry to get his replacement. just saying

Serious question, this Sahin guy any good? Never saw him play but most people here rated him highly. He doesn't even featured for Real last season. He is the 5th choice there right?

frustrating match last night.. we need a finisher asap. suarez cant be the main striker. reminds me of garcia, squandered off easy chances than suddenly scores a difficult one. hope the new players at least make the bench against the gooners

suddenly passing game is tiki taka now.. sigh..

anyway, was annoyed watching that game. gerrard, suarez, borini was really poor. gerrard and suarez shouldn't have played against Hearts. they looked really tired. but thats not an exacuse on how shite they played. reina shouldn't have let the 2nd goal in. its been how many games he was flapping and making mistakes now. should he and stevie be rested?

though allen, sterling and shelvey when he comes in continue impressed.

the missus called me grumpy old man when she saw me mumbling alone infront of the telly..

BR said small group but insist loaning out carrol. i strongly feel it was a mistake sending carrol to west ham without getting a proper replacement for him. we could have use him to trouble matersacker and vermalen.. we are stuck playing with a certain way which can be predict after quite some time.

this assaidi guy didn't perform in training or what? not even on the bench...

nahh.. dont care jack shit about the red mancs... they'll end up winning that game..
