KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum A few things I noticed vs. Arsenal

Brendan wants a new midfielder. There's no way Rossiter was brought on for football reasons. I don't want to knock the lad because he's a promising player but he's not ready for the big time and Brendan knew that before he brought him on. The substitution was more of a hint to the owners I think.

Lovren maintains steady start to the season and this new look system is suiting him a lot more.

Ibe was underwhelming. He couldn't get the basics right tonight (ball rentention, passing) and we've seen none of this early season star quality. Very talented player, a lot to work on though - definitely not on Sterling's level yet.

Gomez's stock keeps rising. Another solid game - probably the best of the lot.

Coutinho is head and shoulder above anyone else creatively. His body work, ball work and shooting is outstanding.

Brendan's evolving as a coach and embarrassing his doubters. 3 games 3 clean sheets, who'd have thought?

Benteke was terrific in every aspect of his game... apart from finishing. Great early relationship with Coutinho.

Milner is a workhouse and a great technician.


MOTM: Milner
'Off day': Ibe

What is it with people on this forum jumping the gun? Do you think if ye all sit around raving about things and over stating success that you will somehow magic it into reality?

How can he possibly prove anything after 3 games? have you not been watching the last 3 years? Are you not even slightly mindful that we are about to go in the exact same circle of implosion that we keep going in?

I find it truly astonishing that more people are not reserving judgement considering what has one before.

but sure hey, lets try magic.

Can you be a bit more positive for once?

not a chance of that him and spice want liverpool to lose they must do .

For what? so we all say the same thing whether it's true or not?

maybe there is something their why brodge brought rossiter on ..,

Telling fsg he needs more money

I thght brodge wud of had tex head of rossiter in the squad and made tex one of the subs ...

Only brodge knows why he made rossiter a sub head of tex

Bringing on Texeira for Lucas at that point of the game (if he was on the bench) would have been a terrible move. I'm presuming Rodgers (that's his name) wanted Rossiters mobility and energy to relieve some of the pressure arsenal would putting us under,maybe Lucas was tiring as it was his first game of the season.

It worked well tonight but I'd only want to see a midfield with 3 out of Lucas, Hendo, Can and Milner in games against the top sides. Other wise i think we'd replace one of those with Firmino or Coutihno. With that in mind will Lucas or another specialist defensive midfielder get enough game time to keep them happy?

Where was Lazar.
