Liverpool 0-2 Arsenal: In-game & post-match depression

Rodgers so far has made some very hard choices, dropping players, releasing those that he doesn't feel fit his philosophy.

Dropping Gerrard would be right up there with the toughest to make.

Based on Gerrard's performances over the last two or more seasons, and the progress of Shelvey, I would have no objections with Shelvey taking over the reigns of his role on the pitch (not captaincy).

Shelvey is another chicken without a head charging around everywhere if he is the answer god help us.

One question I do have is at what point does Pepe Reina become droppable?

I'll add to that Gerrard also.

Jaysus we miss a fit Lucas

Again.

Brad Jones will hardly do any better...

we are in the sh*te big time. Our transfer policy is a joke and we have no options at all, apart from Morgan....also we have 2 weeks to wait until our next defeat....

Morgan aint an option he aint good enough now, if ever

I agree unfortunately, but that is also a mistake of ours we need 2 keepers because if someone is so far above the other he is never in danger of losing his place and making mistakes has no real consequence on him personally. We should look at getting Butland in as competition, I love Pepe but F**k me we cannot keep accepting mistakes without him knowing it's not good enough.

Gerrard and Suarez had perhaps their worst ever games in a Liverpool shirt today. Enrique looked very poor an lost the ball quite alot, I would actually prefer playing Kelly on the right and Johnson on the left. Allen an Sterling looked good but shame that others didnt. Sahin looked ok, little dissapointed he took him off I would have took Gerrard off. DEFINITELY lacking 1 maybe 2 attacking players, if we play like that in the final third again its gonna make January seem like a long long lonnggg time away.

I dont get it? The thing we lacked last year was GOALS. So we got rid of 37% of our goals from last season (Carroll, Bellamy, Maxi, Kuyt) and have brought in an inexperienced youngster whose playing rather average/poor on the right and an unknown youngster from Morocco who hasnt even made the bench yet. It hurts me to say this but it looks like if we none of the Anelka/Drogba rumours surface then we may have to look into getting Michael Owen, and thats not even an option that is likely to change games. Something fundamentally has went wrong when we decide to get rid of £35m worth of a striker on loan and have nobody to bring in. This is gonna be a long hard season and a long way back up but weve just gotta keep believing.

Painfull. Really painfull. Thought Shelvey looked good when on. Borini was useless. On a positive note, Allen and Sterling done well. No centre foward and no cutting edge.
Gerrard isn't the player he was but still good enough to walk on to the team.

Suarez is getting on my nerves today... trying too much the impossible one-twos in the middle of a hundread defenders, and just dont stop complaining with the ref... concentrate in playing football Luis, you're capable of so much better

We've been deceived by his skills, yes he can dribble pass defenders sometimes but not all the time and we have to knock some sense into him from this very minute that football is a team game and he don't play for himself but for the team and the club. I'm surprised BR doesn't sees that and ask him to change his approach, not to mention playing with his head down, how is he gonna know where his fellow teamates are in a better scoring position. Pepe is shocking of late, he's helping in goals than stopping it. 

Think we will win the Wages Reduction Title 2012/13 though, well done FSG

I am more in line with changing Gerrard's role instead of droping him.
He doesnt seem to fit the quick passing style of play in the middle
But i see him more effective playing as the right striker thereby freeing up a space in the middle for more energetic, quick passing lads
His combination with Suarez upfront would be better than what we currently have.
it would also allow us to rotate Raheem, Borini and anybody else we seem to have upfront

we are in the sh*te big time. Our transfer policy is a joke and we have no options at all, apart from Morgan....also we have 2 weeks to wait until our next defeat....

At least we will be unbeaten in those 2 weeks.

Man of the match poll added.

As for the match.

Not much to say because I'm not a reveller of misery.

It appears that we have a lot of disillusioned people attached to the club from the players to the fans, the tea lady is probably making treacle or virgins water, everything but a perfect cuppa.

I don't think I've had a crossed word for the owners but I've got to say that the first and most important job they have is to facilitate the provision of a title winning squad by doing the simplest of things and that would be signing the F***ing cheques and they can't even manage that. We DID have a wage bill that was too big, we DID need to shed some 'dead wood' and we DID achieve both of them.

What we (they) haven't achieved is signing the cheques that give us a chance of doing what we do, winning.

If the players and fans are feeling lost then you can expect nothing but the same in return.

Sort it out or F**k off.

This is Gerrards worst performance in an LFC shirt since two weeks ago at West Brom

Gerrard must of being burying the kebabs and beers out of it on his holidays cause he looks out of shape to me. Hopefully FSG are sitting at home now realized they are cu*ts after not giving the manager money to spend on a new striker.

Think we will win the Wages Reduction Title 2012/13 though, well done FSG

Looking at the bench today sure was a major embarrassment to have no option up front. Hard to hit a lower point for us at the moment.

We're also odds on favourites to win the 'Shot themselves in the foot' title.

We need a striker what about sticking stevie up front?

I'm not sure what's the purpose of Borini on the field, he doesn't try hard enough and he's without a purpose on the field. How many games more does he need to get himself familiarise with the game? Most probably the pace and the physical side of things is too much for him to handle. We need to break up this Stevie-Suarez combo, it has proved to be nothing but a disaster of late. Looks like teams are scoring goals on the counter like what Man City did and yet BR did nothing about it.

Brendans answer to the question of bringing in a striker was basically to shrug his shoulders.
Well I think the 40,000 people who spent good money today deserve a bit more than that they deserve to know why their club is in such a sorry state.

Stevie hates playing anywhere but CM. Which ironically has been his worst position in the last 4-5 yrs

We could be in the bottom two by the end of today...
