Lol ffs. That entire city is so deluded. My facebook timeline is full of stupid Liverpool fans now thinking they're going to push City for the title (I'm a member of that Sportsmania group, so I get a lot of that waffle!). Such an entirely deluded fan-base detached from modern reality. But hang on, don't you remember they won the league a few times in the 80's???

People getting carried away again. Just as people got carried away in his few few weeks saying that he was ''non-league'' standard, people now saying he's one of the best players in the world is the opposite extreme to that. He's a very good player for us, very dangerous at this level. Let's stop it there.
-
He lost Suarez, but failed to replace him, they dipped off by a mile in the league, even though he had over £100m to spend in that single window. Koeman lost Lovren, Lallana, Lambert, Chambers, Shaw in a single window and improved on our position in the league. Go figure. The media love-in with Rodgers is cringe, he's shown himself to be nothing but a bog-average manager who likes to talk tactics and sound more revolutionary than he actually is.
-
Name the 'whoopsie's' he made in every game? Cheers.
-
Pelle has been outstanding for us all season so far. Really impressive.
-
We were better than Chelsea all over the pitch, won by a bigger margin, had more opportunities and were unlucky it wasn't more than 3. Today, easily.
-
He has seemingly lost his way, if you look throughout the season and the mess he has made of every single situation (The physio, john terry, matic, signings, games...). He has never looked as vulnerable as he does right now and he's not used to it, blurting out the referee line is pretty pathetic though. He's better than that.
-
His value is only going to go upwards. Not thinking about what may or may not happen to him in the future though, just enjoy him whilst he's here. (P.S - Where's toepunt these days?)

I thought we were terrific from the off, we looked well up for it. Their goal was unlucky if we're honest, not down to bad play from ourselves. We didn't let that get to us and we continued to slowly build ourselves into the game more and more, before we simply exploded in the 2nd half. That 2nd half display was as good as I've seen us away from home in a long, long time - especially away to a ''big one'' (as Koeman likes to call it!). For me, Pelle was MOTM. He was involved in all the goals and pulled their defenders around all came, he was just too strong for them and his touch and control of the football is sublime. What you saw tonight was a centre forward performance of the highest, highest level - that's the effect Falcao used to have on teams, but he's long gone now. Overall, I'm going to enjoy this weekend. It's not often you get a result away at Chelsea and you 100% deserve it, we were by far the better team in every area of the pitch and we were unlucky it wasn't more than 3. Terrific team performance, terrific tactics and a wonderful result.

Finishing 4th in the PL isn't going to mean a great deal in a few years.
-
Stick Mane on Ivanovic, put Pelle up against Cahill and we'll cause them problems. They have been pretty pants this year, but they still have so much quality who can turn it on in a second. But this is probably our best chance of going to the Bridge and getting a win for a long time. They have problems.
-
Yeah, how unlucky can Bournemouth get? Mings, Gradel and Wilson with long term injuries. 3 starters in that side, and 2 'transfer record' signings as well. To have a chance, they needed their big signings and big goal scorer to hit the ground running. The fact that they will now have all unavailable for a lengthy period is kind of the writing on the wall. I can't see how they have any chance.

He massively struggled yesterday, Davis in particular didn't leave him alone.
-
Well, that was a decent win. Performance wise...we've played better, oddly, but there's not really much to complain about. I thought we pressed well on occasions, but it wasn't the 'everyone press'' style that we've been accompanied with, which I think Koeman may have referred to as well - we left too much space in front of our back 4 on too many occasions, not sure how much warning we need of Shelvey's long-shots! Pelle was excellent I thought, a real target man performances. Bringing others into play, bullying the centre backs, just a general pain in the arse for Swansea to deal with. He was unlucky not to get a goal as well, but I must admit I'm quite enjoying Pelle this year, I think he's been excellent for us so far. There was a worry about the step up from Scottish football for VVD, but he looks pretty good to say the least. There are times when he can be a tad too casual, but that's easily coached out. His technique and attributes are terrific though, and he'll be a fantastic addition alongside Fonte. We may also have a consistent threat from set pieces...both in the box, and from outside! Overall, we put a good side away yesterday. I don't think Swansea played particularly bad, but we just had that little bit of extra nous in the final third to finish them off. On a final note, WTF was up with the ref? what an irritating moron. Absolutely no handle on the game what so ever.

Some of the buys Liverpool have made over the last 18 months have been horrific, totally horrific. Out of that list above, the only successes I would say are Sturridge and Coutinho. The rest - the jury is still out on a couple, but the majority have been shambolic additions, poorly scouted, poorly managed and in turn shipped out sharpish.

Post-Match Reaction: MK Dons 0-6 SAINTS - Capital One Cup - Round 3
S-Clarke replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
A seemingly very impressive display, haven't been around much tonight, but caught the goals. Great to see Jay in this sort of form, he showed terrific pace on so many occasions. Also top work by Shane, he looked excellent tonight, always involved, could have had more goals. Winning any game 6-0, away, is mighty impressive - no matter who it is. MK Don's aren't an awful side, but we put them to the sword and were totally ruthless. Now, if we can take that ruthlessness into the league... See, personally, I didn't think we played too badly against Utd. In an attacking sense we caused them all sorts of problems, so I was never as worried as some were. We're a good side, plenty of options, lots of pace and moment up front. When it clicks, it's hard to contain for any team. -
Lol, that would be such a great conclusion to this thread. Leave at your peril!

Unbelievable that they went through, just knew it would happen. They were trash. -
We started the game really well and should have had a couple. Not sure why people are calling Pelle's shot which hit the post a ''sitter'' because it quite certainly wasn't. Overall, for the first 30 mins, we dominated the game. Pelle in particular had Blind's card, and Mane was pulling Carrick all over the place through the middle. We should have grabbed the name by the scruff of the neck right there and then, but we paid for not doing that. Once Utd got a goal, they went up a gear, and we retreated back into our shells unfortunately. It wasn't really until 75-80mins that we woke up again and started to make Utd panic, as we did at the start of the game. It was frustrating that we couldn't get our heads back in the game before that period. The goals we let in were frustrating, especially the first 2 which came as a direct result of Yoshida's carelessness - the 2nd was inexcusable at any level, and you can't expect to get anything in games at this level if you do stupid things like that. Gift wrapped. Overall, it was a bit frustrating that we kind of lost the middle part of the game, as they really were there for the taking (as per last year). We looked a threat when we attacked though and I thought Pelle in particular had a terrific game. Long way to go, we're still a pretty handy side.

Lol, are you like 10 or something?

Sunderland are probably the most pointless side in premier league history, ever.

It's not just the fact he's boring as **** either, he talks utter trash and contradicts himself most of the time. A few of his classics: “It’s a good run but it’s a poor run, if you know what I mean?” “To stay in the game, you have to stay in the game”. “That would’ve been a goal had it gone inside the post.” “You need people who score goals. That’s how you win games
-
Definitely no option for that on the website, unless I'm totally blind, or it's hidden in a totally unusable place.

It is a good point, it's never been made very clear as to how we do it. The only pre-req I can remember them stating is that the game has to be sold out first, which it is......but I can't find anything about selling the ticket back. Maybe it has to be done over the phone? Seems pretty odd though, how it was quite clearly part of the season ticket policy....yet we've never really been made aware of how we're supposed to utilize it.
