      What I find frustrating is this - at what point this year has A) our defense been stout enough to just sit back and absorb pressure or B) a direct style been effective?

      If Sturridge was in there at least he might hold up the ball well enough, but I don't want Suarez doing that job. We're supposed to be this death-by-football, possession-is-the-key football club, yet we were content to do the opposite here.

      We have kept just 2 clean sheets this calendar year, conceding 14 goals in 9 games. Was it really the plan to simply not concede?

      EDIT: Can't pin this all on BR. Suarez had the chances and flat out missed. I just don't agree with the mentality regardless of those misses. It was playing with fire.

      Great effort and then Henderson and Downing bundle the rebound.

      I know Luis has missed some cast iron chances, but come on, he's given everything for this team, if only the rest of the team had his commitment we 'd be OK.
      He always gives 100%.

      I Definitely don't expect anything from the rest of the season and the next one unless we sign f****g Falcao, messi and Ronaldo!

      Little bit of a jump from losing a Europa match no?

      Eh?  We had three sitters that went begging.  What are you on about not conceding?  We should have been ot of sight.

      No, I'm not on about chances? I've just had enough of Rodgers. I never wanted him to manage the club, and I still don't.

      Well youll probably be happy with this result then another stick you can beat him with

      need to lay off luis... he's in a rut atm.

      however if our fwds dont score... at least we tie.

      we're down 2-0 atm... that means our defense is the one that let us down.

      also.. i'm tired of resting on past success ... cmon liverpool, create some new ones!

      The reason we are losing is Luis Suarez missed three sitters.
      That's fair enough no argument from me, but he never and to be fair they were no threat until that wonder strike from 'bulk'

      I've seen us hoof the ball up the pitch more than I remember in recent games. Giving away possession way too easily.

      And toothless in attack which is amazing considering our striker.

      Maybe we should shop at Neto for our centre backs too...
