Tremendous ? Must have been watching the 2013 game.

I thought we looked better the first half with Benteke and Sturridge despite not creating enough. Manager got it completely wrong with everything from subs to formation in the second half.

Radio Merseyside must be on the payroll because it certainly wasn't a tremendous performance. Either that or BR is slipping them some brown envelopes. Dissapointing

We just have to face the truth in that we have a really poor side.   

Well they were saying we actually looked like a team for once and we deserved to win.

Sometimes you have to hold your hand up and take responsibility. There is no way that result was down to the manager. The team selection was good, the formation was good, the tactics were good. What was bad was the sloppy play from the players who gave the ball away too cheaply, and the wastefulness in front of goal. Corners are a waste of time if theres no decent delivery and no-one to put it in the net. And to have the chances we did and not score is bordering on criminal.
The manager cant be blamed for that

Dont think anyones surprised by result.

Rodgers is stinking the place out now and Liverpool are going nowhere fast under his stewardship.

Sooner FSG admit they got it wrong this summer the better and we can all take a deep breath and start over.

Seen this too many times over years and Rodgers is done now.

We had a few chances alright and had a bit of tempo at times but no way did we deserve to win it. We got what we deserved at the end and that was a point.
Its norwich mate and at home but again we blew it. same old same old shyte and always looking vulnerable.

I know Coutinho is still young,  but we really need to see him finding some consistency. On his day, a magical player, but for me he has too many games where everything seems to pass him by.

Actually that's the exact reason why it's all down to the manager. His inability to take this bunch of talented players and bake them into something which deadly ,that's the criminal act.

But the fans have given him enormous amounts of chances, and FSG have gave him plenty of cash over the seasons to make and mould the team into his vision, whatever that is (Barcelona maybe! yeah right.) Enough is enough.....

Give him a chance ? What do you call the last 3 years ?

He's made mistake today. He finally puts out his strongest side but I didnt like the setup, didnt like the subs, didnt like his management of the game overall and to draw against Norwich at home is inexcusable. Down to 13th now, and the crowd is now firmly against him.

We would have won the game if the chances were taken...That cant be the managers fault. Some of our play was outstanding

I didn't see the game so i can't really comment but by the sounds of it today's display was much better than our performances away at Stoke and at home to Bournemouth (where we won maximum points).
Sometimes footy is like that, sometimes teams don't get what they deserve, sometimes you win 3 points when your performance doesn't warrant it and sometimes you win one point when you deserve all 3.
I'm all for criticising the manager when we churn out the type of turgid shyte that we were earlier on in the season but imo it's unfair to criticise him too much when we have put together a display of flowing football and have been undone by individual errors.
