I start to worry after reading this statement...
http://www.espnfcasia.com/club/liverpool/3...-rodgers-gamble QUOTE Benteke is certainly a massive threat in the air, having scored more headed goals than any other Premier League player in the last three seasons, BR style of play is pass, pass, pass, and pass and pass again, or kili kala style of football one, not hoof and knock down for other to run on it or score, or cross to target man to score one. |

QUOTE(LucasPSS @ Jul 20 2015, 11:04 PM) well apparently, this happen after adelaide game on a short interview. Huh? Deny interest in Benteke?Rodgers denies Benteke Signing Kinda hope its true, but if its true, are we still bringing in any striker? and potentially who? The rumour/news is all over the place for Benteke to sign Liv already, so which is true then? Not the like Balo signing again? Last year at this time, BR also publicly said didn't interest in Balo. |

QUOTE(Yugendx @ Jul 22 2015, 08:52 AM) with current squad I think we can challenge for title...divock origi,ibe,milner and danny ings played well in friendly matches. Those friendly matches are never a good gauge, as those matches generally are played at walking pace only, somemore against lesser opponent that being assembled at last min or temporarily one. |

QUOTE(prophetjul @ Jul 22 2015, 08:43 AM) The first 7 away matches, Stoke Arsenal MU Everton Spurs Chelsea Man city. I won't surprise by end of Nov that Liv position in league hovering bottom half or even near the relegation zone. The odd of sacking may be high at that time. |

QUOTE(raizo7 @ Jul 22 2015, 02:09 PM) To finish 4th, you can't lose more than 6-7 matches for the entire season. If already lose the first 7 matches, finish 4th chance is very slim only. There was no easy match under BR from the last year performance. The fixture is too perfect for odd of sacking. |

Character?
Football is a shooting movie scene? Shoot on the goal and score, not shooting movie... What character the manager want? Minion, Antman, or terminator? |

QUOTE(AnythingK @ Jul 24 2015, 08:21 AM) I read several article on the net stating Carragher saying that Benteke will not settle down in Liverpool. He said that Benteke is just another target man, where BR couldn't utilise at all. I am not sure how true all the article is, but why do I think only Carragher talk with sense. Not only Carra, but most forumers here also have doubt Benteke a target man who scored one of the most header goal in league can suit to BR style of play or formation. Just like people questioned Balo as lone striker role last season, but the manager failed to see it, despite outsider fans already saw it clearly. Benteke strength is aerial ball, but Liv under BR is not known for crosses, you need a 4-4-2 system with winger that can make dangerous cross for the striker to head in goal. BR likes to play 4-3-3 which is narrower and more compact in midfield, and seldom we see winger running down the touch line and making cross one. Also, there is almost no winger who can make good crosses in the team right now. |

The goal conceded exposed Lovren entirely. If it was Carra, sliding tackle/last ditch tackle would be put in when Patrick went into the box time.
A defender who fails to anticipate what opponent striker intend to do is a poor defender. This is why one of reason Liv keep on conceding goals in PL, you can't get a clean sheet with this kind of defending. Slow in anticipating movement of opponent attacker. Carra and Hyypia should give some courses how defending should be done. Origi was also poor in term of anticipation of teamates passes, as a striker you need to run to the space and let the teamates to do the splitting passes, not wait to see where the ball being passed only run, half a second late, surrounded by defender already. I guess there will be not much change in term of defending in the coming season, still leaking goals. |

QUOTE(Rotuham @ Jul 31 2015, 03:05 PM) Actually many critics actually hope they are wrong, as nobody hope their supporting club to fail in the league. But those critics do fear the club is heading to nowhere or midtable level with a midtable manager, who after 3 years of spending no less than 200 mil, still seem like can't get right on the formation, tactic and recruitment of players. Plenty of money has been splashed, yet little improvement has been made. No trophy, no fear factor in Anfield, leaking goal like lower midtable teams. The only good point is interview session character. This post has been edited by cherroy: Jul 31 2015, 11:19 PM |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Aug 1 2015, 10:06 AM) looks very likely Ings and Origi will be our starting pair up front when season starts for 1st match at least... GG If so, highly midtable is the destiny. Origi needed many chances before scored a goal, judging from the pre-season display. While in EPL, chance is hard to come by. |

QUOTE(leftist @ Aug 7 2015, 08:26 AM) Last year Sunderland came out with offer price that reported in the region of £14 mil, but the player reject the move.The club can do nothing for this case. Unused or unwanted player - you still need to pay the player wages. So even you sell at peanut, you still get a peanut + save the wages. The club has too many backup players already. |

QUOTE(reehdus @ Aug 7 2015, 11:48 AM) Never denied that, but let's not gloss over the fact that Balo does really seem disinterested and lazy sometimes. May be that's just the way he plays, but if you want to play a high pressing team, you need someone that does that (no doubt the question is, knowing Balo doesn't press, why still buy him?) When Balo was in Mancity team, that won the PL, everyone knew his playing style already. It was Balo last min through ball to Aguero who scored the last min decisive winning goal, that won the PL. He is not the Kuyt type, ie. non-stop running, pressing striker. Signing Balo and expect to play like Kuyt? Even non-football pundit/expert know it is not going to work, may be except playing under tactical genius manager... |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Aug 10 2015, 08:17 AM) well, not solely Can...as he and Firmino both created more spaces than Benteke ever did...which gave Couts more room for that goal. Benteke won a lot of header and knockdown, but with lone striker, there was no one to feed upon, hence little chance created.while the fabled substitution of Couts for Ings that never happened makes u wonder...was BR gonna still continue with his 4-5-1 and play Ings out wide with Benteke all alone again? and what in the world was Benteke doing i have no idea, or perhaps it was BR's instructions to have him play deeper to gather potential passes to him...as LFC seem to be continuing on their form of 'lowest crosses' from last season as i dont recall benteke ever connecting with a single cross. You have good header of ball player upfront to do the knockdown, you need striking partner to chase the second ball. Just like Heskey - Owen combination. Heskey knockdown the ball to Owen path upfront - get behind defender - score. There team played narrow with no winger, so there won't be many cross coming in. Yesterday,it was a poor display especially 1st half. The team looks totally disjointed with 4-1-4-1 system. |

QUOTE(koolspyda @ Aug 10 2015, 10:06 AM) Yup correct, we all know Rodgers is technically inept. Fortunately we weren't caught and stole 3points. Rodgers post match interview appears he wasn't too convinced he made the right decision to keep courtino on. (Fortunately he didn't) He needs a whack in the head sometimes. Gk launches high ball into opposition half, striker heads the ball, another striker chases down the second ball, and score. Simple and effective.I won't take anything away from the players. Preserverence is key. Rodgers does foul up tactics all the time but so long as he doesn't stay mutually arrogant to change, Liverpool will be alright. If you noticed, he conceded that he has stopped imposing mignolet to pass only to defender when going up. We get harassed by teams knowing Brendan in the past didn't allow goalkeeper to launch a quick counter attack upfront or goal kick upwards as we were all too technically naive. Launch attack from the rear, mustn't lose possession as in #Rodgers101 tactics. <<< The stoke post match interviewer reminded Rodgers. Some mixes needed to for Liverpoolfc play and Rodgers need to be less arrogantly stubborn. I won't ungloss the teams effort with the win. Courtino & Liverpoolfc 1, Rodgers 0 Not everytime, must tiki taka, pass, pass, pass, only can score. It is a big loss if Benteke aerial power is not being effective used. What is football about? To score goal! Whether it is aerial, long range thunderbolt, tap in, it doesn't matter as long as the team can consistently put the ball into the net. The positive about yesterday is, fullback look pretty solid in defending with Clyne and Gomez at both flank. Midfielder simply too crowded and narrow. Hendo, Milner, Coutino, Lallana all were playing more central, except Ibe. |
