I've heard the same excuse for the past decade as well. Look, this is a competitive game and not some pre-season warm-up. If this is the best that we can come up with just 2 weeks before the season opener, then I think we're screwed. We were outplayed by a minnow using our new style of play. I'll be pretty worried if I were BR!

It's funny really. How long has Liverpool been playing in Europe? Half a century or so, yeah? So why is it that it took until Roy Hodgson before we won a match in Turkey (at full time, so Istanbul '05 doesn't count because the game is considered drawn)? Now certainly, we've not faced a great deal of Turkish opposition, but you'd think that successful European Cup managers like Shanks, Benitez, and especially Paisley would wipe the floor with them. And yet we didn't. Fancy that.

People readily understand the threat posed by lower league sides at home in the FA or Carling Cups, but seem to think the same conditions don't apply in cold stadiums in Old Europe somehow...

It's true that we were poor on the night against Gomel, but it is beyond me how anyone can expect a significant improvement away from home over the way we played under Dalglish without our first choice keeper and playmaker while saddled with Spearing after a month of training in a completely new system with a new manager and without the benefit of having played any games that matter.

And yet we still won in much the same way that Liverpool lost all of last season, as though such misfortune never happens to sides other than ourselves. We were lucky, and in truth our problems were entirely our own fault, mainly from giving the ball away cheaply in dangerous areas. If we keep our heads down and keep working we won't need to rely quite so much on luck in the future.

amazing liverpool go away to the back of beyond a 7 hour flight after a 8 or 9 hour flight only on saturday from baltimore to play a team half way through there season already played 4 games in the europa league , not the full team fit or avaliable , ok it wasnt great and it was scary , but in the end liverpool got into the game and done a totally professional job scored an away goal and won 1-0 , and some are not happy some wanting rogers out already just unbelievably amazing .

Agree Faz, until the made up bit at the end.

I'm not on any social networking, so I wouldn't know. Don't particularly wanna know either if I'm honest, after all, I bet most of its from people in country's like Saudi Arabia and Thailand, anywhere other than Liverpool and the surrounding areas, calling for Rodgers head.

They don't support the football club faz, so why do you even give them your energy?

They are irrelevant to me, I don't know them, I don't want to know them, they can call themselves Liverpool fans all they want, but its not about branding yourself that, its about showing it.

I'm from SA and support the Rodgers project, in the other hand i see many Brits all doom and gloom already , the bad performance won't stop cold turkey, we will see a few more games like this before things start to improve.

this is an injured club but unfortunately the world won't stop and wait for use to heal, we have to carry on playing with what we have and wait for new players and for the whole team to take in the new system
