omg hahahah

On a serious note though, I'm a bit disappointed that they're doing so badly. Not that I care how they end up in the end but it's always good fun when everyone's playing at their best

What's your take on this Shed? Was Suarez the difference all along?

by Shed Sat Sep 20, 2014 11:34 pm

I'm not sure it's just Suarez by any means. Remember that they were without him for the last 4 games of the 12-13 season and the first 5 of last and won 6 out of the 9 of them in the League. The absence of Sturridge has hurt them as well but even then, these are arguably teams they should be beating with or without him.

I think it's something psychological.

Ah yeah possibly. They probably will hit their stride later in the season I reckon

Still unhappy that we let Sturridge go instead of Lukaku Mad

I'm over him tbh :coffee:

Used to annoy me seeing him score week after week after week when we were having to contend with

Torrwretch and the like, but now that we've a couple of proper strikers, I could give a toss about the self-important bellend :coffee:

So Rodgers says after being thumped by West Ham that Pool "can't entertain talk" of challenging for the title this season.

Over £100m spent to end up with a worse team than they had last year and their manager 5 games in setting the fans up to go backwards from the previous season. Well in Brenda!

So much for Liverpool winning the title, eh?

‘People don't understand the pressure’: Brendan Rodgers says 'weight of the jersey' responsible for Liverpool's poor start:
Brendan Rodgers says the weight of playing for as massive a club as Liverpool is to blame for his players' poor start to the season
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/sep/22/brendan-rodgers-liverpool-form-weight-jersey
-

“We’ve conceded eight goals and the majority of those could have been avoided but what people probably don’t get is the pressure of playing for such a big club. The weight of the jersey here is heavy for most players. Once you adapt to playing for Liverpool you become clearer in your thinking.”

Oh my... rofl

Do they really deserve to play if they can't handle the weight? Wink

by Shed Wed Sep 24, 2014 2:01 am

Is that a cultural allusion? scratch

by Kick Wed Sep 24, 2014 2:04 am

It was a dig at their players Wink

by Shed Wed Sep 24, 2014 2:08 am

Just wanted to make sure Laughing

After that "Let's talk about Cesc baby" flew right over my head, I just needed to confirm...

They're not the only ones, but it'd be hilarious if they get slapped with a fine or ban Laughing

Everyone thought it'd be us first Laughing
