I'd still back them over an out of form, low on confidence, out of the starting team for the league, Lovren.

When you look at it that way, maybe this is Rodgers' fault for not thinking similar..Originally Posted by Bremsstrahlung
OK
On the opposing side, if he scored the winner, he'd be brimming with confidence. Gamble didn't pay off.
Yehh, I think Rodgers has ruined Lovren, for now.
Was good at Southampton with a specialist DM or sometimes 2 screening him/protecting him, and enabled him to go about his business.
Take that away, replace it with Gerrard (Who is not a typical DM, more a Quarterback style Deep Midfielder, nor is he able to adequately cover) and you expose Lovren a lot.
He's had moments of brilliance, and I don't doubt for a second he's a quality player but lately, playing in this team, thats playing this style, he's not performing.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Sakho. Has been the most solid defence we've had all season. Sure bring him in if needed, but, please can we not meddle with something that is working for our League games.
p-ressure. boom, gone.
See, I think that Can should be our DM going forward, which should provide protection for a back 3 of Lovren, Skrtel & Sakho.

Rather bizarre to see a side play with 2 out and out strikers with City starting Aguero and Djecko.
Good for the game. **** off this one striker shit
Kompany
Cracking strike though
One striker sucks in defenders and lays off to strike partner to finish.
Not rocket science
Open game.
Both sides defensively poor. Good to see some exciting end-to-end stuff. Liverpool probably could be 3-1 up if they took chances.
dead set Robbie Slater just rabbiting on about Hendersons goal being 'defendable'.
He carries on with more shit than you Member.
Up your game son.
It was BK would have stopped it
great win for the reds, 2 classy goals as well..
For sure..
Both goals were bloody amazing..
Coutinho is just pure class - what a finish!
Henderson is by far our most underrated player imo. Bloke is all class. You can tell Gerrard has been mentoring the guy, some of his balls are on par with what Gerrard can provide. Nicely taken goal, pin point cross to Sturridge. Works his ass off all game.
Coutinho is on fire at the moment.
Honestly don't know what to make of Allen. He doesn't really do anything wrong. But he doesn't exactly do anything brilliant.
sometimes it works with someone like that in the team.
you have henderson who is on fire and running with confidence at the moment. you dont want another mid trying to out do him, or it could become very messy . so thats why its working brilliant at the moment. Allen just doing what he needs to do to contribute..
Yeh I agree, he's doing well at taking a back seat and just doing what is needed.
Last year when he played he slowed things down a lot, when we needed a killer one touch pass through to Suarez or Sturridge he'd take a few touches, then try and play it when it was too late.
Last year I heard something that's lead to confirmation bias.
What Gerard can do with one touch, Henderson can do with 2. Joe Allen accomplishes the same thing with 20 passes.
Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the guy. Was more saying how he doesn't have to do anything brillint. I find he plays well when we play reasonably good teams, where we need to slow things down occasionally. Really good short passing game though.
The constant indecision of Mignolet must concern you guys, you can see the frustration in Skrtel sometimes.
A quality keeper and a foil for Sturridge and Sterling is what you guys need to get back to last seasons standard.
Haha this is nothing compared to what we have had to endure from him at times. His recent good form is reciprocal of can, sakho and skrtel. If incidents like this morning continue to happen, it puts doubt in skrtel which reciprocally puts doubt in mignolet and we start the spiral again :/
Agreed. I would love to see Ryan get a gig there. Aussie and he has brilliant distribution.
Ryan is too young to push for the number 1 spot at LFC imo
Buy him then loan him to a top level club in Germany for two seasons to get experience at a higher level. Then we know whether we have a champions league level GK or someone who can't make that step up.
