Rodgers

Yeah it seemed great, bigger than any Yankees attendance in 2014 too apparently, though they seem to have a home game every other night! Fair play to the 150 City fans that were there aswell.

Nope, think he'll always be stuck at the Everton sort of level now as while he's effective he also has a lot of games where he looks like he's a fan who won a competition to play. In the world cup one of his attempts to control a ball went about 40 yards up the pitch!

Show a bit of respect you fool.

Think this fella will be starting sooner rather than later.

Brilliant fun by Englands two best teams.

Haha! Shut up, it was him begging Barcelona to sign him every week that got him in to this mess. Now he's been so poor for years that Barca dont want him, Atletico dont want him and now he's stuck.

He's s*** though quite effective when the ball isn't bouncing off his feet for a throw in.

Pricey for a yard dog.

What accidents did he have at home to Arsenal? Everton at home? (Got excellent assists in both of those too), Bournemouth? Oldham? Hull at home? West Brom at home? Palace at home? Sunderland away? Utd in the Cup? Villa away? Stoke home?

He had some excellent games and some bad games. Exactly what you'd expect from a 4th choice I'd say.

It's a shame how it's gone for him really, there were times when he was sitting on the bench while Carra looked shot to pieces and played every game, then the injury etc. He bossed it in games v City and Chelsea. Looked dodgy in some v lower league teams but after sitting on your a*** for 5 months then getting the call amongst unmotivated players v a league one team its not really surprising is it? Has looked good again in pre season. I'd rather have him in our defence and hopefully learning from mistakes rather than a veteran who's been making the same mistakes year after year after year.

We should have swapped Defoe for Suarez when Spurs kept finishing above us.

Made me laugh that, as if being fit means it's impossible to have an underlying problem!

Gabriel Milito was in the same position and ending up getting more and more injuries and was retired by 32, can quote examples all night either way. Would be daft to risk 10s of millions on a fee and wages if we think he has a potential big problem and thankfully we arent.

Lovren announcement at 10pm by the look of it.

There wasnt regarding Robben either but it come out that we went for him last summer.

Yes. And watch Lazar Markovic play football.

Maybe, then again Ajax were serial bottlers when he was there, won nothing but have won every single league title since he left. A lot of our players and manager getting massively underrated here. Funny as I bet any pundit that called us a one man team last season got abused.

Dortmund dont want to sell, Reus doesn't want to leave and he can pick who he wants to go to on the cheap next summer if he wishes to leave. Benzema currently starts for the biggest team in the world and the European Champions. He's also their only senior striker.

When Marseille signed him there was a problem with his medical though they went ahead anyway.

This must mean we've got a £50m signing lined up but as Borini wont go we stopped the Remy deal so we've got the money. Right?

f*** sake

Its a fake t***.

It's almost as if people have faith in the manager, the current lot of brilliant players we've got, the new wave of brilliant players we are getting like Markovic and just general football fan optimism. Mad eh?
