I'd say it seems that if defenders want to kick the shitt out of Suarez they can because he's Suarez and must be diving and being racist....play on.


That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Suarez and Carrol may as well be kick boxing bags. They can be roughed up all game long and get nothing. You arent even allowed to sneeze on a United player.

Hasn't had a break??!??! how many hours a week does he work? He, along with all professional footballers have the cushiest job in the world - please don't roll out the 'tiredness' excuse to add to all the others floating around at the moment.

Despite how cushy their job is their bodies are pushed to the limit through training and they do need breaks to recover. This goes for all players and not just ours.

we used to finish every league strongly when Rafa was the manager because he had a strict rotation policy which ensured that our players were fresher come the home stretch

I don't think he is already tired so early in the season, he did have a break, may be not as long as those who were neither in the Euro nor in the Olympics, nevertheless, he did have some rest.

I just think that it is harder to get past players in our new system with high possession up the field, the opponent's half is just more congested. It's much easier to get pass when you have space. Against Hearts, he did it when he went to score.

its not hard to figure out - br bleats on about all his tactics apparently to the media, the way to beat tika taka (english style) is to drop deep and hit on the break, hence the fans crying when so called lesser teams go away from anfield with 3 points after having only one or 2 shots on goal.

one positive i have seen is that against manure it wasn't tiki takka passing it was more of a blend with a premiership style, and liverpool let manure have a lot of the ball from the start. manure didn't know what to do with the ball and gave it straught back, which is what 90percent of the other teams will do.

br said after the arsenal defeat that he was going to replicate exactly the swansea tika taka system at liverpool, but since he has been less opiniated on that front which is just as well, hodgson refusedto adapt his system and he rightly got shown the door
