Saints don't envy Chelsea getting eliminated. No tribute there.

We need to tear their defence apart

If Rodgers goes to City. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/mar/06/brendan-rodgers-liverpool-manchester-city

If he leaves I hope we get a good price above the true value, like Lallana, Lovren, Chambers and Shaw. Hopefully the black box has got several cheaper, better value replacements lined up. He needs to play well the next 12 games to get his value up.

Head still in Liverpool. Problem was the game was in Turkey.

Hopefully Sunday was the high point of Liverpool's season.

Having seen the 4 penalty shouts and Rodgers' comments about his Friend I'm hopeful that the team will be hugely motivated to win now. You can't buy that sort of motivation. Need to channel it and not waste it.

On BBC radio 5 Alan Green said it's difficult for referees and linesmen to see the game properly in the wind and rain.

Djuricic will give Tadic a boost I reckon.

None of these defences seems to be capable of keeping a clean sheet.

Bit of a Peter Crouch style knock-down target man. Sucks defenders in. Works hard in defence and attack. Hopefully he can coolly take the stick from his 'fans' in the same way that he manages to cope with Prem defenders grabbing and kicking him.

Fantastic strike.

At least we did better than Man City. According to some on here, the Prem is very poor standard at the moment with 2nd and 3rd place teams both being crap.

he's coming home. football's coming home

I felt for Rickie but... not too much.

I wonder what the hockey guy makes of it all.

This guy is fast becoming a legend.

Nice one.

A bit hasty. Not like the Saints I'm used to. Usually we don't confirm signings until the transfer window is just about to close. This is a pleasant change. At least he should be available to play in January. And Koeman speaks his language. Hopefully in more ways than one.

£8 million for a future Paul Scholes? Sounds like a bargain.

If we can get say £35 million for Reed it will be interesting to see who we get to replace him. Hopefully the scouts are on to it.

I didn't expect that from what appeared on paper to be a second string team. Well done to Ronald and the management. Got the tactics just right. An all-round team performance with every player doing well.

I reckon Lallana's and Lovren's heads are probably in Manchester right now.

You've got to bury chances like that at this level.

Agreed. If you're not careful it can make you very cynical about fairness in football and how much it really matters. I just hope Hesketh comes back stronger and can channel some deep anger into playing fairly and aggressively.
