Why u forget again!  Dannyboy's first goal came from quick cutting cross and he tapped it in.

No need to look far. Some of our own players played their part in ousting Rafa. Maybe that's why BR is afraid to even sub Gerrard, let alone dropping him for much needed rest.

This then raises the question – Can you avoid injuries? The answer is a clear ‘no’. However, you can work in a way to prevent and reduce the amount of them.

Our way of working to prevent injury can only be done with the co-operation of the medical staff from the outset, to have a clear programme of work, to maximise prevention… The diagnosis when the injury occurs and the treatment afterwards are the key avoiding new injuries.

To this end the medical staff must be co-ordinated with the technical staff. They are the ones who design the training sessions, the workload and the extra preventative or compensatory work done by the medical staff and should be taken in to consideration by the fitness coach who also has a workload to organise. I am being serious when I say we were shocked to find a fitness coach from the medical department doing weights with a couple of players on the morning of a big game. This can only result in overload and therefore a risk of injury.

Strangely, it is becoming more common for players to return to their native country for treatment. To stop this it is vital to have absolute confidence in the club medical staff who also have a duty to solve the problem.

To investigate muscular injuries, especially the ischio-tibial ones, it is essential to know the factors involved:

The injury history The fact of having had a previous muscle injury increases the risk of re-injury, and at Inter, 80% of injuries had occurred in the same muscle group during the previous two seasons.

Muscular imbalance between quadriceps and ischio-tibial (anterior and posterior thigh muscles). You have to do specific work without the ball to address this imbalance.

Age The older the player, the more risk of injury there is, especially muscular ones; also there is the biological factor of age, so you must take in to account that older players have had more hours of practice and therefore hundreds of matches and thousands of training sessions in their legs.

Other factors can increase the risk of injury; for example, race (black players are more prone to muscle injury because they generally have more explosive muscles); fatigue (a tired muscle has more chance of being injured because its functionality has changed); inappropriate warm up, or habits like smoking, drinking, not resting or inadequate diet all increase the risk of muscular injury.

An injury, then, will have multiple causes and players exposed to more of these risk factors, like the ones we have mentioned, will be prone to suffering more injuries.

Nevermind Sturridge. Suarez is back!

Comparing that team with MU? 

I am sOooOoOoo excited that Suarez is back, don't really bother bout the result, I just want to see Suarez play. 

hope our midfield n wings will give them the proper service

The guys has been caged like the animal that he is He has had this itch he could not scratch, the urge he could not satisfy. I'm hoping it will translate into some footie madness. Just no biting!

5th looks more like a fair representation of our performances and quality.

We want mata and costa!

5th of the table now.. tottenham grab last minute goal.. wonder how many last minute goal do they got since last season..

One bad game and people are calling for Gerrard's head. That is the reason why loyalty in football is overrated. People forget what he has done for the club and want to replace him at the first obstacle.

IMO today Gerrard performance wasn't up to his standards. He made mistakes and lost possession but was far from our worse player on the field. I think he is playing out of position and this type of play doesn't suit him. I don't understand why Rodgers is playing him so deep. He is more effective in attack.

I agree. If anyone is to blame its clearly BR. Obviously, it was a tactic and formation issue. Soton owned us all over the pitch fair and square.

Bro lets be honest. If that was Aspas or Charlie Adam, we would say a lot more than just criticizing him. I don't forget his contribution to this club and he will always be a legend in my book but poor performance is just poor performance. We have to consistent with our criticism regardless what no jersey he wears.

TBF..everyone on the pitch sucked. Gerrard was one of the biggest suckers and deserved to be criticized for his horrid performance. But then again, no one emerged from the game unscathed except for Mignolet IMO. Therefore, I think we cant blame any players in particular this time, it was clearly BR's failure to forsee Soton's tactics. BR's was responsible for choosing the personnel and formation..therefore BR should shoulder the blame.

But I agree with you..we have must be unbiased and consistent with our criticism.
