After three wins, expectations went sky high with most people praising whatever BR is doing and describing the various world-beaters in our squad. Now, after one defeat, BR is clueless, has no tactical awareness and the players are useless, old, etc..

Haihzzz..wait lah, its only 5 games. We are definitely not championship material yet and is just hoping to break into the top 4. So, getting down from the perch is not a bad thing. It's getting back the realistic perspective for everybody!

I lament just two things : having to keep Sakho on to justify his transfer fee and losing at home.

Oh, Sakho did make one wonderful tackle and I think he will do ok as the season progresses but I felt that he should have been taken off in the second half. Kelly should be brought on to play RB, Toure restored to CB with Enrique replacing Agger (had a problem according to BR - well..).

Overall, it was really a bad day at the office.

That's one of the things I am implying : we have ground out 3 wins and, as you rightly pointed out, our goalkeeper as much as Sturridge were key to them. Nevertheless, expectations shot through the roof and people largely ignored the weaknesses that were there for all to see.

Totally dominating and just ending with a one-goal win is one thing. Sweating and scrapping to win is quite another thing!

As quite a few have rightly mentioned, we are not a title winning side by a mile but we have definitely started much better than last season..so far! I believe we will bounce back in the next PL game. Wednesday's game against the mancs is an entirely different thing!

Everyone played his part..nobody played perfectly that's true, but everyone played a part in the win including :

Gerrard : swung that fantastic ball to Sturridge on the far right, that led to the second goal
Mignolet : quickly threw the ball to Suarez, that led to the third goal
Hendo : took one or two defenders away from Suarez after he raced up from defending, to play his part in the third goal.

Let's get behind all our players!

Great sense of humour and a wonderful quick wit!

I get nervous seeing Sterling in the starting line-up. He's a real lightweight..one nudge, one shove..and he's down, and..no foul!

I prefer Ibe.

Sterling...oh..BR

more goals from S n S...come on!

Great win for the U21 team but I think the Spurs team performed very poorly too.

Ally's through pass was rather impressive. If he keeps gaining fitness and improves, BR will have a massive headache. BR just described Enrique as one of the best leftbacks in the PL!

So how, brown cow?!

From the official site :
"Brendan Rodgers today backed Jose Enrique to prove why he has all the attributes to become one of the finest left-backs in the Barclays Premier League."

"There's no doubt that on his day he's one of the best in that position in this country."
