Costa really is a bounder

Yep I expect so.

Well.Duh. Mourinho is the manager.

I used to like Glen Johnson.

Anthony Taylor I'd say he was having a poor game, but thus far his 'decisions' seem to be a bit one-sided.

Mignolet did well again there. Will Chelsea ever stop acting like s***houses ever do you think? Costa is an uber meff of wobbly donkey proportions.

And other blatant handball not given by the referee. They never get any better. s***house.

Yeah it was. He was even looking at it when he did it.

Nice handball by Matic before the goal.

No Lucas

Cheap for twice the price!

Bloody fans not slagging of their own player.

Gerrard on the bench til the 70th minute then come on and WHAM! BLAM! WIn the game for the Mighty Reds.

Dzeko when asked about it said "It was wonderful. All we used to get at my last club was half time oranges."

I've thought for a while given his quality, but also taking into account his age - that he should be on the bench most games. Bring him on as an impact sub with 20-30 minutes to go - to either see the game out or to take it by the scruff of the neck and use his sheer ability to change things. I'd rather see an energised Steven Gerrard running around, putting dangerous balls in and closing down over a short period of time than a steady Steven Gerrard playing a full game and letting people run past him. You can't argue about his sheer ability, quality and result-changing qualities. But those qualities need to be preserved for the most important time of a match - and that's towards the end - unless it's a romp, in which case the pressure would be off anyway.

0-1 to Chelsea. Then we can go on a good long run and win a 'Champions' League place and hopefully the odd cup.

That's a problem that we've had for years. You'd like to think that players out on loan were there to improve them and bring them back into the squad (at least!) as more rounded professionals. But most seem to go on loan and either vanish or end up playing for lower league/foreign clubs. Which is a real shame in some cases as some appear to the layman (us!) as pretty tidy looking players.

Skrtel Mignolet Henderson

Not if, in three years, the presence of these players leads to continued and permanent placement in the 'Champions' League places. Liverpool FCs future in the game doesn't just rest on this season. It rests on the ability of the club to build a squad that is able to challenge on a number of fronts and to build stability that will last years and hopefully decades. A flash in the pan isn't what is required and won't help the club in the long run. A continued presence and a base to build on and to add to is what will push this club forward.

I predict a 3-0 stroll for Real Madrid. I'm hoping that somehow we can somehow win, but am not counting on it. A 1-0 loss to Chelsea on the way as well, I predict. But after that I can see us going on a bit of a run.

Be interesting reading when some of the signings begin to click and we go on a decent run. Rodgers is an inexperienced manager with lots of new signings and has a lot to learn. But for where he has been and what he's done so far, given that inexperience - the lad has done really well. Far better than I initially expected. So what if he's going through a bit of a stumbling run? Look at where we are now. Look at how close we are. I predict some red faces in the coming months.

I'd put a bet on it if I were you, some pretty decent cash to be made if either of those scenerios occur.
