He's been woeful. It's getting embarrassing for him, he meeds to be dropped.
Yeah, he thought he's all that when he came to Liverpool but unfortunately he's been found out again.

Must be some sort of scouse humour I guess.
So Lallana can be judged as not being good despite playing well every time he's played? It's too early to judge Mignolet, but Manquillo and Moreno (who have both played well) are bad signings? There are other examples from the article. Saying it is spot on is laughable.
He hasn't been 'good' he's been largely 'anonymous'.
Lucky you.
Not a Liverpool fan, but yes Lovren has been pretty bad overall, which most people not fooled by a good half season at Southampton had expected.
Dear me son, at least quote me right. I said 'about right' not 'spot on'. I'd probably change two or three but given that its a list of 24 I'd say its 'about right'.
I suppose the 'Lambert with the shackles off will now show his true form' narratives were heldback by the pessimism following the defeat?
Last year I was really enjoying watching the games. Can't believe how much we've regressed this year.
The general thrust of the article is correct - only 2 Rodger's signings can be considered successes. No one outside of the Liverpool PR campaign posters on here would disagree.
You can nit-pick here and there and move some players from Failure to Undecided, but it doesn't really change the point.
Mignolet is a good shot stopper but good lord does he make some bad decisions. His distribution is shambolic.
The last time Liverpool lost 5 games in a row was September 1953.
But he hasn't. He looks like a player struggling to find his groove. He is still living on last seasons good showing.
I think they tried to go back to basics, be tight at the back and grind out a result away at Newcastle a few weeks ago.
It was a dreadful game and Liverpool played a part in that by being very cautious and defensive. They still didn't manage to keep a clean sheet though.

It is probably all a plot to make us feel good. Come the game against us they will do their normal and raise their game.
A draw is enough for Liverpool tonight (I can't see a Basel win against Real Madrid)
I've 5 pounds on a 1-1 (Odds 6.00)

Are Liverpool fans still trying to assert Moreno as a success already? I'll give them Manquillo. Moreno has already made two horrendous errors that cost them goals in games vs Newcastle and Man City, yet I've seen them championing him as better than Shaw.
I feel very optimistic about our game with Pool. By the time we meet them in three weeks we'd played 4 games and they 6, including a vital game against Basel just a few days before. They don't have the squad to handle it without a drop of quality, which is not very high at the moment anyways. We should be able to dispatch them without a problem. Anything other than a win would be very disappointing for us.
He's young and new to the league, of course he was going to make some mistakes at first. It's a bit of bad luck that they proved to be such costly mistakes, but it is how it is. I like him, I'm not saying he has been a success since arriving but he's certainly not a disappointment. I'm still confident he'll become a very good left back for us for years to come, and that's an area we've always had problems with. I'd pick Shaw over him but not at the price United bought him for.

He also said he got slaughtered last season by Liverpool fans for telling them Mignolet will mess up.
I think to much is being made about Gerrard being tired because he is playing every match, he had a 2 week rest before the Palace game and he was as shit as he has been all season. I think it simply comes down to that he is doesn't have the defensive intelligence to play the role that is asked of him. Look at Gareth Barry, 1 year younger than Gerrard and before his injury played just as many minutes as Gerrard did and is just as much of a slug as Gerrard is but you don't seem him being exposed no where near as much as Gerrard does because of how he goes about things. It's either that or Gerrard needs James McCarthy next to him.
I do too, but as the old adage goes, 'anything can happen in a derby'. Despite their woeful form, I expect them to raise their game against us like they have done so often in the past and their Premier League fixture list prior to the derby is relatively simple. In theory, they will pick up a respectable amount of points, but we still have to beat them. Pure and simple.
He was very good last season, but I wonder if this is the season where it's just finally catching up with him, in the same manner RVP really looks off the pace for us. The fact that Liverpool were controlling most games last season, meaning Gerrard wouldn't have had as much defensive duties and wouldn't have been overrun as much, probably isn't helping him now either.
I explained everything that's going on about Liverpool to my girlfriend, including Rodgers and his tactics. Her response:
"poor deluded bastard"

Sure she wasn't talking about you mate?
Good for you. When i say football to my wife he instantly give me a 'i am not interested' look.

She's kind of interested in football, but I think she just enjoys seeing Liverpool lose. She's a closet United fan which I'll bring out of her eventually.
Lost his man for the equaliser last night, defensively he's been quite poor.
This can't be true as they beat QPR. They did lose a lead there too but they won it back.
I know it was a very disappointing result for us, but if you'd said before the competiton we only needed to win vs Basel at home to go through, I would've taken it. Only our worrying form (an understatement sadly enough) is bothering me. Dutch and Belgium analists both agreed Basel were favourites to advance and I can't really disagree with them at the moment. Let's hope we catch some momentum before that game.
Good piece written by a Utd fan, surely?
Covered everything we've been saying on here since the beginning of the season. One bit it did miss out was the extra games in Europe and how Rodgers has less time between games, and less time on the training ground.
I guess the other way to look at it is we're the absolute worst team in the premiership at present. Worse than QPR, Palace, Newcastle, put together. If we were told we would get seven years bad luck all rolled into 2 months then all we could hope for is not to be relegated already. As it happens we're still in all cup competitions (only Chelsea and ourselves are) and one of numerous teams that can still take that 4th spot.
All these sage geniuses on Twitter would have predicted a harder season for Rodgers without Suarez but I bet not a single one of them would have predicted we'd lose 6 games to fodder teams. Not a single one of them.
