With Tottenham losing yesterday and Newcastle we slowly catching teams up and a draw away at Chelsea is fantastic especially as we have now played the likes of Man utd Man city Chelsea
Everton Newcastle Arsenal.
and still have the likes of Southampton and QPR to play.
I have said it for a long time we arent out of the race for top 4 especially as Tottenham play Arsenal next week. Just have to get the 3 points Vs Wigan
A quick question are we the most offside team in the league ??
I think the half time stats showed Liverpool to have 63% of the possession so I don't understand why you think Chelsea dominated the first half. I admit they were more dangerous in possession but I fail to agree that they were the dominant team.
Great to see the attacking attitude of the team after we scored. A couple of players in January could make a massive difference. There are some very positive signs coming through.
we should have been 3 down at half time so even though the stats say that they dont actually reflect what went down.
we were abismal in the 1st 45.
who cares what you do with the ball in your own half because the opposition dont care how many times you pass it between your keeper and centre halfs. if anything this should be a lesson learned from last year, our approach is too slow and the build up even slower.
yes its great to see the guys looking comfortable moving it about but it has got us very little to show for it. 12pts from 11 is as someone else above posted "death by football".
i would be more impressed with rodgers if he actually started a game in a different set up. his decisions to change it up against neverton came because we went 2 up and looked like losing it, same yesterday as we were never in the game till close to the 70th minute and he changed it. last year he would have kept pushing with his starting tactics up till the end of games and he would be doing the same here only for the pressure to win here is greater.
pressure is what is making these decisions for him and looking at him on the sideline yesterday he looked tired so maybe he's burning the candle both ends.
