ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[LinekersLegs]

@BBCMOTD: Downing has created 60 chances this PL season (including assists). Only Cesc Fabregas (67) has created more

Brendan Rodgers has questioned whether Stewart Downing has the necessary "fight" for a Liverpool team that he believes can qualify for the Champions League.

fecking £40 for a league cup match!

Have Liverpool ever been 13th or under in January in the Premier league/Premiership era?

Yes, in January 1993.

Everton were 12th with 32 points and Liverpool were 14th with 29 points.

Good old Souness.

Semi-final against the league leaders and probable league champions, who they've also had a pretty big 'rivalry' with over the last decade.

Semi final of a competition! Devaluing all cups but the CL and fa cup isn't really something we should be doing...

What do you mean by that mate?

What do you mean by that mate?

sorry meant to quote the original post - people devaluing the league cup as if we wouldn't love to be in the position of one two legged tie away from Wembley. I think you are saying similar!

Plus we'd easily be charging £40 for such a game, and selling it out.

The [Poor language removed]'s actually looks better in blue.

And looks oddly familiar too, like they may have used something similar on one of their hideous recent away kits.

“He’s making the contribution we want him to make, starting some of the games or coming off the bench to have an effect.
“There’s been a big spotlight on Rickie which has been unfortunate for him because of the unavailability of other players and what we haven’t had.
“But he was always brought in to perform a role which is to play in games, and come on in games, and make an effect - today was the perfect example of that....

Forensics are currently examining the quote for the compliment in there somewhere

I have re-read this a few times and still thinking that is the most inane and obvious statement ever made about a footballer.

His role is to play football?

That's right...and hes guaranteed to come out with more. He makes Stanley Unwin sound as clear as Richard Burton with his gormless quotes. Apart from everything else with the above, if his role is to play football, how come hes only started a handful of games especially with Balotelli's comic turn for them.

Brendon Rogers talks trot shocker.

 

[PITA]

Has the 'We've regained our identity' comment been discussed yet.

Mourinho in a piece asking that Chelsea fans stop singing the Gerrard slip song still manages to get the dig in ahead of tomorrow night's game....

“I like to play at Anfield. It’s difficult, but I like it – although I have difficult memories from there. To lose a Champions League semi-final to a goal that was not a goal... it stays with you for ever. You don’t forget it.
“It still hurts, of course - and in the Capital One Cup there is no goal-line technology, so we are not free yet.”
