Liverpool 1-0 Besiktas: In game and Post Match 'Half time in this tie' debate

I have to question why Jordan is picked for penalties above Mario, that's ridiculous.

EXACTLY!!!! Balo is proven, dead ball specialist. Why wouldn't you want your striker who is just starting to get into gear take an important penalty

What's Gerrard saying lads?  Missed it

F**k off Steven Gerrard out of order him throwing Balo under a bus after his contributions over the past week guy can't do right for doing wrong.

Sort of a Titanic thing Emre and Mario got going on there.

Should have been quite clear. Given Balotelli's penalty record it should have been made clear that if he was on the pitch he'd be top of the name list to take the penalty. That said, overruling your captain? That's the debate right there. But F**k it, he scored, we won and we take a good position to Turkey next week. That's all that matters really.


But great debate with Stevie in the studio with Gordon Strachan and Peter Reid. Steven being very upfront and speaking his mind. Could be a great pundit.

I agree, would be a great addition to any channel. Hopefully he moves into coaching at the reds though after his journey to North America.

Just saying that hendo was the man to take it. His name was on the drawing board. And Balo showed disrespect.

Beautiful

Peter Reid showing why he's a crap manager.

Yep, and why he's won F**k all wherever he's been or will ever go, gobs***e toffee stuck in a mediocre mentality, I'm just surprised wee Gordon didn't f***in nut him

Balo has disrespected Hendo as the cappy.
The dressing room would've been interesting if he missed,
He wouldve taken it if he was on the pitch.

Haha, not how to format your posts it seems. I think the whole sulky thing, if you watch any interviews with him or look at photos from training is absolute bullshit. Lets not have ego here. Your comment is out of line.

Why is it out of line . My opinion is based on past and present facts which I can say have contributed to instances of petulance . My opinion end of you dont have to agree with it just ignore it .

Balo has the penalty taking pedigree. It was the right decision. Anyone of the lads are upset, should suck it up and move on.

Handbags - media will spin the crap out of it... Mario is disruptive, Hendo is weak - Studge stirs it up and so on.

Another win and a great performance from Ibe - with Ballo scoring and looking good. Can again looked solid and Sterling back - make of it what you will but honestly I don't care, and neither will they tomorrow...

Takes the shine off it. Balo is a serious pen taker... simples he takes them. Hendos name was on sheet cause Balo didn't start

So if Gerrard had been fit, and came on as a late sub, would he have been taking the ball from Henderson?


Gerrard shouldn't be airing dirty laundry on tv...media will have a field day with it now.

Henderson needs to grow a pair as captain.

Rodgers was just asked who was supposed to take the penalty?

BR: "Steven Gerrard!"

Good answer in fairness, diffuse the situation in the media.

Don't think Hendo did anything wrong there, he just walked away. Sturridge's reactions were unnecessary, and could have put additional pressure on whoever taking that penalty.

What has Stevie G said so far?

Its out of line because you are slagging off the character of one of our players without evidence. Major WUM behaviour.
I'm doing the same. Watch his interviews. Look at the photos. I can't see any evidence for petulance or sulkiness at all.
It is a question of fact. One of us is wrong, and you aren't offering any justification.

Good win. It'll be tough out there but with a front three of Sturridge, Sterling and Balotelli we should score out there.

Also Balotelli should take penalties when Gerrard isn't there because he has a proven record of doing it. It's about results, not a dick swinging contest. Henderson and Sturridge were a little too precious about it.

F**k off Steven Gerrard out of order him throwing Balo under a bus after his contributions over the past week guy can't do right for doing wrong.

F**k OFF Alfie2510, stop talking out of your f***in sphincter, disrespectful tw*t. F**k off and support blueshite, they turn on their player too, you'll fit right in




KUNT!!!!

Jordan obviously wasn't as confident of taking the penalty as Balo was, don't see the problem, as long as we score. Think Balo should take penalties when Stevie is not playing. I hope Brendan sorts it out so we don't again see a Liverpool player not celebrating a Liverpool goal.
Put that behind us now, and hopefully we go on to win in Turkey.

He could've used the Wenger defense ... 'Oh, I didn't see it'
