So it begins.
Ok, who had 90 minutes?

suicide watch

At least now they have that 'undefeated season' monkey off their backs!
Keep Rodgers At Pool
From viewing other fans sites I'd say RAWK is easily the most welcoming site I've seen towards fans of other clubs.
Yeah...not really.
Just saw this on the BBC
If I was Andy Carroll, I'd be putting in a transfer request.
Liverpool fans blaming ref. Can't wait to see what the fuss is about.
whats new?
I watched the game arlier they were pretty fecking dire when it came to defending. West brom were going through the midfield and defence way too easily.
It was literally every time they came forward they created something. Lukaku didn't look half bad scored one and almost assisted for another only for someone to miss a sitter.

Two harsh penalties though...will only feed into their conspiracy theories. Brilliant

Why were they harsh, the first one might have been outside the box but the second, Skrtel's stupidity and unawareness caused him to trip the guy over. Clear pen
It's like last season never ended.Continuous steam of shit
I thought Long went down a little two easy on both of them. The agger one should never have been a pen because there really was minimal contact and I don't think Long was even expecting that one.
I thought they looked quite good before WBA's goal, their finishing was awful in the first half. They already look a lot better than last year.
The Agger one if it wasnt given would have had the WBA fans up in arms saying the big teams get all the decisions. Also imagine if the ref had the use of video footage their would still be controversy.
Very difficult to judge them on the basis of today's game given the sending off. But I didn't think there that much different to how they played last season. They passed it decently last season as well but lacked the quality to penetrate and finish off the chances they did create. It was a lot of the same until the sending off. I think it will take Rodgers a bit of time to completely impose the brand of football he likes on the Liverpool players. They seemed to go for the long ball fairly often.
One thing I did notice before the sending off was that Gerrard looked the player most uncomfortable with the patient short passing game.
And of course, the biggest thing that I take away from this game is how badly Liverpool reacted to going a goal down. West Brom were opening up them far too easily and it looked as if they had completely given up. That's what would worry me based on that game if I was a Liverpool fan rather than the result.

I think Rodgers style is completely overrated. Its not like his teams are compact. They play passing football but the back line is deep.
I suppose it would have been difficult to judge in real time because the ref was behind the play. Maybe the crowd influenced the decision too. It was difficult enough to judge even after several replays. Although I am of the opinion that it was a bit harsh and Long went down a little too easily for my liking.
suarez missed some absolute sitters too. Long may that last.
They werent harsh, you can't bring a man down when you're the last man back, inside or outside the box, it was a sending off offence, the penalty was missed so move on.
The second one was unfortunate, but a clear penalty, Skrtel clipped him, not much cotact, but it sent him down.
Looking at Liverpool's fixtures they could well have close to zero points after the first five games. Then a full meltdown would commence!
Yep, Swansea's back 4 seemed to sit quite deep whenever I saw them. But then again, I would argue that it would be suicide to play a high line when you're working with players of that quality.
Regarding his style, well it worked brilliantly at Swansea. The question is whether he can make it, or whatever variation of it he brings to the table at Liverpool, work or not.
They might have to settle for second place!
Yep. I'm going to dread the day he becomes a good finisher. He gets into a lot of good positions to score.
Well I don't think agger made any contact other than shoulder to shoulder? I think he maybe tapped long on the shoulder for a brief moment but other than that I really don't see how it was illegal contact.
Fair enough for skrtel. Going by the letter of the law it was a pen.
Both were clear pens IMO.
If you see the replay of the Agger one, there's a slimy little shove there which is a clear penalty and a red.
Skirtel's pen was unlucky for the defender because he didn't intend to kick Long, but he did do it and hence I can't see how it wasn't one.
I stand corrected. There was never shoulder to shoulder contact and agger did put his hand on the back of long for a brief moment. But long had been going down quite easily prior to the incident too, winning a freekick beforehand.
I don't think he goes down to easy at all, he's very light, he seems to try his hardest to stay up.
Seeing Liverpool lose is always fun, but it's not as much fun now that KKK has gone.
Paul Dalglish was saying earlier they aren't that good because they can't afford to pay big wages due to having a smaller stadium than other teams
An sure they've only gone and replaced King Kenny with another by the name of King Brenny. Seeing them get spanked is always a pleasure.

He's talking out of his arse, Anfield is still a damn good stadium even if it does seem a bit outdated or something to that effect, I'm trying to hold back and be kind to them here ffs
