i guess we are at a point where even swansea beats us at home...gone are those days. i cant even talk abt the EPL with my friends who are United,City and Chelsea fans...its crazy but i still have Liverblood in my veins.
My dream is to watch a game at Anfield and also go down the stairs and tough the Liverpool poster. that would be the greatest day. i dont even want to include meeting Stevie cos i would pass out with too much joy If it was the league and we had put out our best team, then we would be concerned about the result and level of performance more importantly but this was a team containing several backup players So you are telling me BR put up a team to lose yesterday? BTW we won this trophy with both Downing and Henderson + both Suarez and Gerrard played may be not the full game (last year we played without SG for the better part of the season and LS missed more than 10 games)+ we were at home. So who were the back up players? Coates and Carrager, so why not play one of Agger or Skrtl. Don't tell me Yesil as he was preferred over AC. Our main problem now is our defensive display thanks to the system and we still need a good striker (a problem that had to be solved as the first priority).

We were at that point 2 seasons ago... Remember Blackpool beating us home and away? We've always been there and always win. Cup upsets are just a fact of life. Remember Crystal Palace winning at Old Trafford last season to knock them out?

I don't think it was the defeat but the manner of the defeat which was concerning

I've been losing patience with BR for a good few weeks now, the tactics aren't working with the squad we have at the moment. We don't have any 'grind out the result' plan B so we are left with the headless chicken dance we've seen far too often. Even when we are well on top in a game we don't look like winning.
It all feels a bit like he's having fun at our expense and I really hope FSG either back him with the investment he needs to bring in the right players for his system, or cut him loose and bring in someone who can get the best out of the players he has available.
So far I'd give him 3.5 out of 10, which is only slightly better than I rated RH.

Remember Crystal Palace winning at Old Trafford last season to knock them out? Exactly! We'll do what United did - dust ourselves down and be in contention to win the premier league right up until the last second of the season. Happy days!!!

So the cup game was an absolute nightmare and maybe BR had other things on his mind but honestly we need to be winning these little games so that it can instill that winning spirit in the players...look at Chelsea's squad against ManU..All i'll say is we better win the match on sunday cos it will be really bad for us. Wasnt Borini bought for like 10 million??? so why isnt he playing? why get rid of Kuyt and Maxi (players who have been consistent and given us goals when we needed) for Borini??? im lost for words but damnnn this is crazy....I like BR and im all in for giving him time but to tell you guys the truth im begining to like the "bring Rafa back" threads cos i believe he has had time to learn from his mistakes and he would do better plus his mind is all on Liverpool... Liverpool&FSG = MEDIOCRE Get uesd to it mate.The "business" is profitable enough for these clowns,regardless of league position,playing staff etc.Its a shame we had to deal with the devil to get rid of hicks and gilllete.

We were at that point 2 seasons ago... Remember Blackpool beating us home and away? We've always been there and always win. Cup upsets are just a fact of life. Remember Crystal Palace winning at Old Trafford last season to knock them out? But it's not only this, it's also the league (we are 14th). Yes we were robbed a goal on Sunday, but we gave away a 2 goals lead before that. We also lost against Udinese AT HOME conceding 3 goals. Are we supposed to expect to win only against Norwich now? How many people here deep down are expecting a win next against Newcastle?

Our main problem now is our defensive display thanks to the system and we still need a good striker (a problem that had to be solved as the first priority). Coates and Carra are back up players, Robinson is a back up. Hendo and cole have been bit part players. Yesil is only a young back up player. Assaidi is only breaking into the team now. Jones is a back up player. He was clearly resting both Agger and Skrtel as players are not machines and there is no point risking them getting injured when this competition is not his priority. Yesil was not bought as a a replacement for AC so thats a baseless statement Our defensive system has improved as we had 3 clean sheets in the last 5 games which you decided to gloss over.

So looks like you are very happy with how things are going and you can see an improvement over last year(Just check where we were at the same time last year). Great, let's carry on then. On the clean sheets it was at home and against the great Stoke, Reading and Anzhi. Since then we got back to conceding an average of above 2 per match.
