A Liverpool player scored a bicycle kick at old Trafford today and no ones arsed, cheers Brendan

That pretty much brutally and painfully sums it up...

[elpistolero7]

I doubt we'd get him, that's the worst part. We'd end up with the bargain basement version of Gary Monk.

Sack him tomorrow and throw 6 mill a year aKlopp. I'm 100% Klopp would consider us, Ancelotti would be a super stretch.

Klopp got a side to a European Cup final and won 5 trophies with a tenth of Brendan's budget.

And we moan about money. 300 million he's spent, and the tactical genius had Danny Ings and Joe Gomez on our left flank. Unreal.

[Garlicbread]

Such a spin doctor he is...

[kasperoff]

If we dont sack him we have no hope this season.  Replace him and this season can still be rescued.   A certain well known German wanted both Benteke and Firmino at Dortmund.....

Hmmm. . . . .almost too convenient that.

[The Infamous_LFC]

benteke would flourish like Lewandowski under Klopp

[Claire.]

Also if anyone can tell me what on earth Emre Can does, then I'd be most grateful. No pace, no power, no composure, piss poor.

[wordroam]

Hilarious how he tried to shut up shop and it predictably went to hell in a handbasket.

Who tries to park the bus with the unholy trinity at the back??

We obviously didn't watch the same game.

I thought we fucked up a set piece and then started chasing the game.

[TealC]

Too much negativity involving the manager. Tactics and set up was shocking & confusing as has been the case recently but calling for his head so early is pointless as it isn't going to happen anytime soon. You can't perform like we did in a game of this magnitude but we didn't have the pace & agility to trouble them enough which isn't totally down to the manager. Back him until the end!

Who does the tactics and set up??

[El_Macca_17]

 If we play from the first minute like we do when we go a goal down we wouldn't be too bad.

[LFC-Dan]

Have you watched the last few games?.

Yeah mate. It's negative & confusing but calling for his head so early is pointless? We witnessed some of the best football ever 2 years ago under him but for that you need the pace and the character in the side.

[DyingAtheist]

I've always backed Rodgers, I really have, and I thought we were right to stick with him even after how badly we capitulated last season... but I'm not sure it's warranted any more. We've had one good half of football so far this season (still didn't score), some immense luck in other games, and it just feels like we're going nowhere.

Still, no changes will be made until Christmas at least. Hope the guy turns it around, really want him to build something here but this is just dire and has been since the last time the Mancs beat us.

[RideTheWalrus]

My interest in football is at its lowest since that time we got twatted by blackburn under hodgson.

same, thought last year was bad, but we played better last year at OT than we did today. At least we tried last year.

[LiverBirdKop]

If we are going to change, he'd be my choice.

If we're going to change, the whole structure has to change. Ian Ayre has got to be relieved of ANYTHING that has to do with the squad. The committee has to be dismantled and banned from Anfield.  FSG don't know enough to properly set up a football club.

[Mark Walters]

'Too easy to hit Benteke'

Man Utd 3-1 Liverpool


 Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, speaking to Sky Sports:  "I thought in the first half we defended well but had nowhere near enough quality and composure on the ball.

"We were disappointed with a couple of the goals. I never thought the free kick was a free-kick. Penalty, I think Herrera has done well, young Joe Gomez will learn he has to stay on his feet.

"We got back into the game with a brilliant goal but then we concede a disappointed third and that kills is.

"We need to be a lot technically better than we showed today. Over the first five games now creating goals is something we need to look at. It is too easy sometimes for us to go direct to Christian Benteke, who was excellent today.

"I have a group who will respond but we have to be technically better."

He's not a target man, oh no, not Christian!

[The G in Gerrard]

Why do people keep giving FSG so much credit is beyond me. Keep the books tidy, build the stand, and cash out (haha good luck with that FSG). That's their 'ambition'. Wake up LFC fans.

They aren't picking the formation today. Hardly blame them to be honest.

[Zoomers]

No one can defend him. Absolutely no one and no more excuses.

[Gnurglan]

I want Rodgers to find his magic again, the one that gave us so much fun a couple of seasons ago. But we are digging a deeper and deeper hole and it's difficult to see that. We've gone from being an exciting side to being plain average with no direction.

[juan1001]

The 2nd place title run was a steamy affair, but if you take that out and give it to Suarez, what does that leave Rodgers with?

What you see now.

If Rodgers had any managerial ability whatsoever we would be seeing the fruits of the Suarez and Sterling money.

[Clint Eastwood]

Pretty much saying that Young and Herrera 'bought' the free kick and penalty. We were shite, regardless of whether those blatant fouls were 'bought' or not.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Three straight kicks to the nutsack from three of the worst United teams of the past two decades.

We now have a new Olympic sport on Merseyside:  Full Contact Scrotum Punt

[Simplexity]

Also if anyone can tell me what on earth Emre Can does, then I'd be most grateful. No pace, no power, no composure, piss poor.

Complete mirage, may turn out to be a decent player in the future but he is nowhere near good enough for us as is.

[elpistolero7]

Has a team ever spent this much money on defenders and yet not one of them can defend? I can't believe how awful they are!!!

Skrtel has been boss under good defensive coaches (Kenny+Clarke and Rafa)

Clyne was terrific for Southampton last season.

Lovren looked amazing at Southampton.

Cause the managers actually knew how to fucking protect a defense.

[Claire.]

If we're going to change, the whole structure has to change. Ian Ayre has got to be relieved of ANYTHING that has to do with the squad. The committee has to be dismantled and banned from Anfield.  FSG don't know enough to properly set up a football club.

Ian Ayre doesn't pick the team.

[Bjinxi]

Rodgers comments are a joke- he shouldnt be allowed back on the bus

[elsewhere]

Also if anyone can tell me what on earth Emre Can does, then I'd be most grateful. No pace, no power, no composure, piss poor.

People laughed at me when I said in the transfer thread that Brendan halted his development.

[muyuu]

benteke would flourish like Lewandowski under Klopp

Are you taking the piss here?

[SwissV]

Has a team ever spent this much money on defenders and yet not one of them can defend? I can't believe how awful they are!!!

Id argue we do have one player that can defend well. Hes just rotting on the fucking bench though...

[RideTheWalrus]

Also if anyone can tell me what on earth Emre Can does, then I'd be most grateful. No pace, no power, no composure, piss poor.

You messing? Can is quick and strong. Think he played wank because every time he broke forwards he had fuck all anybody to pass it to

[Macphisto80]

I understand people saying they're not even arsed, but we really should be livid. That was embarrassing.

I'm fucking furious, but not for the usual reasons. Right now, most of my anger is directed towards our manager, and that fucking prat Ayre. None of which are fit to have a job at this club.

[Mark Walters]

If we're going to change, the whole structure has to change. Ian Ayre has got to be relieved of ANYTHING that has to do with the squad. The committee has to be dismantled and banned from Anfield.  FSG don't know enough to properly set up a football club.

Absolute rubbish!

[vicar]

Sadly Bentekes brilliant goal will be overshadowed by Martin Tyler's scream for Marshalls goal.

How can someone so biased commentate?

[astowell1]

Van Gaal taking the piss out of us as well now.

"For me, Liverpool is a fantastic club. Because I have won every game against Liverpool."

[Snail]

Feels grimmer than the last days of Hodgson, this. At least we had Kenny then.

[spider-neil]

Also if anyone can tell me what on earth Emre Can does, then I'd be most grateful. No pace, no power, no composure, piss poor.

A very overrated player.

[Gerry Attrick]

Also if anyone can tell me what on earth Emre Can does, then I'd be most grateful. No pace, no power, no composure, piss poor.

Yet to work out where he actually convinces people. Got destroyed at full back, not pulling up trees in midfield, I'm seeing nothing that confirms him as a good signing.

[stevensr123]

His twat of a son is loving it on twitter.

state of the twat as well.

He was getting free tickets above proper fans as well the little Bellend . Glad he dad got fucked off and hope is mate does as well to stop the gravy train.

[TheShanklyGates]

There were idiots on this board who wanted rid of Kenny. They got their way, in fact some might say facilitated it, we ended up with an inexperienced manager with very little achievement behind him. Now there is a clamour of people shouting for Brendan's head. Some of the same posters no doubt.

Be careful what you wish for.

Utter nonsense that mate. I've only ever wanted one Liverpool manager out in my life and that was Hodgson. I was even happy to give Rodgers another chance this season in the forlorn hope that maybe, just maybe he had learned something from last season's horror show. But alas, it's the same old shite week after week after week and I'm sick to fucking death of it.

[killer-heels]

Can was awful.

[Dubit10]

Anyone who was at the West Ham game knows he's lost the fans. He's a bluffer and deep down we all know it. Pity but there you are. We move on.

[juan1001]

I want Rodgers to find his magic again, the one that gave us so much fun a couple of seasons ago. But we are digging a deeper and deeper hole and it's difficult to see that. We've gone from being an exciting side to being plain average with no direction.

The magic went to Barcelona.
