You can want the manager to be replaced without being a total cock about it. He's a human being and is just as devastated as we are, show some compassion and empathy, he's trying his best even if it's not working.

£5m a year, sorry

What happens when Sturridge is match fit? We still persist with 4-3-3, with Daniel on one of the wings?

If not, and you have to think that Sturridge is an automatic name on the team sheet, why are we not playing the formation we'll play when he returns? Why are we wasting the likes of Countino, Firmino, Ings etc on the wings? It's just a ridiculous and self-defeating approach.

Semantics but it's a 4-2-3-1 with Ings as a left winger, Firmino as a right one and Can behind Benteke. It's criminal on many levels.

I'm sorry but the best football I saw at Anfield was the 13/14 season and that was by a distance.

I agree, some of it was absolutely unbelievable. I reckon Rafa's spring '09 team would have beat Brendan's spring '14 team though.

Forget the manager, the players the god's honest truth is that we have owners who don't want to compete.

We Brought on Ibe who cost us basically fuckall and they brought on a kid who might cost them £60m.

Excuses. Our 11 were clueless Rodgers had two bloody weeks to set us up and we got the performance and attitude of a non league club.

Losing away to united with no sturridge, Coutinho and Henderson is hardly the worst thing in the world. But losing playing like that against a crap united is just fucking disgraceful. Like last week's loss to west ham.

Why bother with ings if you're going to play him on the flank? why bother with three midfielders if you don't plan on keeping the ball? And what the fuck does Lovren have to do to get dropped? I'd really rather sack Rodgers now than wait til we're out of the running for 4th.

Last season we lost there 3-0 and sure, there were complaints but there were a lot of positives. This year it was utterly gutless. Look, Rodgers, if we wanted to see a team that put 10 men behind the ball we would have hired a manager a lot better at it than you. You are supposed to be a ATTACKING manager.

In this league you need to show strength and hard work - i dont see any of that from him so far, needs to up his game massively

I won't be moaning though for him to go.It's inevitable anyway.

Losing at OT is pretty common. It's the West Ham defeat that makes it far more significant.

There does seem to be quite a lot of negativity on here. Last two games have been a bit disappointing, but I think we'll turn it around.

14 points in 13 games since Utd at Anfield says we won't

I'd agree - so why not play it today? And not when we're 1 or 2 down, from the start?

We wasted an entire 45+ minutes with players in unfamiliar roles, trying to keep it tight and sneak something on a counter (however only Can seemed to want to counter) or from a set piece.

Agreed. And its how Swansea beat them last time out.

So even Everton are ahead of us.

& Chelsea 3 points behind

As bad as we have been, to go from title winners to that start is crazy.

I just wish things weren't so depressing with our own team... I really want to enjoy seeing them where they are more than I am. Our own poor displays are overshadowing it.

I believe we have lost 7 of our last 14 in the league.

The truth is we can't score goals, we leak goals easily, we lack leaders, we have square pegs in round holes.

Rodgers persists with picking players out of position and out of form, tactically we are naive, we have no pattern to our play - it is slow ponderous and lacking threat plus we have spent a fortune to assemble this squad.

It's not good enough and the manager isn't good enough he needs to go for me. Approach Klopp before someone else does.

Indeed but this club has a real bad habit of making really bad decisions, Fans saying "now's not the right time", just when IS the right time.

It's the most sorrowful, pitiful bunch of strangers I've ever seen in Liverpool shirts. Not a leader amongst them, absolutely nothing. Cowardly CBs, non-existant CMs, fuck knows that Firmino is meant to be. It's worse than Hodgson.

I hope he does the decent thing and falls on his sword because this is just embarrassing now. It's mistake after mistake after mistake. Every single manager we've sacked over the last decade or so have gone for less.

He's just got to go. We all know it.

Not a chance mate, Rafas midfield alone was better than most the 13/14 team. Suarez and Sturridge wouldn't of put up with Rafa's best team, take those Rodgers tinted glasses off mate.

Was thinking that myself
I am on less a year than br earns in a week
I have negative equity he has 100 houses
So let's be honest if he is sacked he will hardly be on the breadline

Turning to the match we had benteke isolated
When we went 2-0 down Lucas should have been sacrificed
Can't see the positives of playing ings on the wing but he tried hard as did clyne and Milner
