Benteke

We're only 2 games into the season Fabs.
And Sturridge has shown himself to be quite injury prone. Then it's the problem of finding the formation that utilises the 3 of them well

We may be 2 games, but there is a selection headache, and not a necessarily good one

Not quite what I meant, I should clarify. It doesn't have to be Sturridge or Firmino, it could be any of the midfielders or attackers, it's just a case of building familiarity with Benteke then those players will start making the runs .. so long as Rodgers allows them to.
 
Good target man = good player???

No? What fucking problem are you having with this?


Really? Yes your first post was leading us towards the interesting question of what the priority for a football team should be...a good target man or a good footballer...

No really...i can see it now..


Im getting the fuck out of this thread...
 
I was impressed with Benteke last night. He is obviously a good player but I wasn't sure he was the right fit for us. If he continues to bang them in then I won't care what I once thought. Delighted he got his goal last night, the winning goal in fact. It will be interesting to see how we line out with Sturridge in the team when/if he returns.

The last line is exactly why I'm concerned tbh
 
Would the succession of people claiming that Benteke is the equal of Suarez and Torres please desist?


He's the new Heskey, which is fine by me as he was actually rather good when he believed in himself.

All we need is for Benteke to hit 22 goals per season for 8 years rather than Emile's 1.

I don't really have a problem with your Suarez point, but Benteke might see us adjust in a good way longer term, because he certainly gives us the bit of presence upfront that we lack and we also might start to vary our approach, than just our standard cut and thrust attacking on the break.

I *get* that people don't generally like target men, but labeling him one is an injustice IMO, he's got alot more to his game than the orthodox centre forward, certainly in terms of being clinical. He's a good addition we arguably overpaid for, but if he bags us 15+ goals and we (in general, through his play) add more goals from other areas and other players (Ings, Sturridge, Milner, etc), then maybe the money will be seen as less of an issue.
 
Is it just me or has Peterhague really deteriorated as a poster over the last few months? He was always guilty of attaching a patronising tone to his posts but I presumed it was an internet persona he had adopted or one he used every now and again in jest. Now the majority of his posts are all one big dig at a manager that no one overly likes anyway. The bile and hatred directed towards Rodgers is a bit unnecessary. The majority of the forum regularly take the piss out of Rodgers and question his tenure here yet Peter and mr moo have teamed up as brothers in arms to paste this OTT hate across a plethora of threads.

We are 2 for 2 and haven't conceded a goal. Enjoy it. You are a fan after all.

Hate isn't a strong enough word for my disliking of teeth.

Now you know what most of us think of you then. You were like this under Dalglish too, are you even a Liverpool fan? I don't know any that would actually want us to do terrible to get their own way.

As Oliver said, I hope he does brilliantly just to fuck you off.

I can support the team without liking the manager. I don't see what's difficult to understand. Big LFC and football fan, played football to a reasonable level, been involved with the medical side of things also. So I'd like to think I have a good understanding about the game. True it doesn't mean I'm always right, but i lke to think I'm right a fair amount of the time. So based on that and what I've seen from him, I don't like him as a manager. Pretty sure, no actually I can guarantee I wouldn't like him as a person either. Probably a similar view other posters have of me on here, but tbf I don't care.
 
I'm sure a man who earns a fortune and is shagging a tight little blonde is worried about some verbally challenged moron off the internet who sounds like a drunk at a bar telling everyone he's ever met that he had trials at West Ham when he was younger.

I think we could all do with not getting quite so wound up by what we read on the Internet. If you're raging at an Internet forum, you are in fact raging at voices in your head.

The cunt obviously wants the club to fail.
He was taking the piss out of Dalglish constantly before to a fairly disrespect level too.
I'm not wound up just pointing out what a massive whopper this rocks for brains is.

Kevin Keegan was a great player but a shit manager, I'm struggling to see what any relevance any of that has. In fact, more and more successful managers are coming through with little experience as players. It's irrelevant anyway, for all your "knowledge" you sound like a dickhead constantly calling Rodgers a twat, etc, and you did say you wanted us to start the season shit so we could sack him. Only a *twat* would come out with shit like that. So i don't buy that you're "right a fair amount of the time" when you come across like such a trolling dullard. Maybe you're different in real life, but it's difficult to gauge what people are actually like. Go figure.
 
Trolling haha. That's rich from you constantly roaming the forum having a nervous breakdown when anyone has anything negative to say towards the club/manager/players.

With regards to Kenny, i fully respected his time as a player and manager. Just didn't think he was right man to go to post budgie and I was proved right, just as I think I'll be proven right about Rogers. As I've said before, the forums are for all views and opinions. I'll always support the the players and team, but I feel so strongly against Rogers that should we struggle early doors that maybe a lesser of two evils as opposed to seeing Rogers hinder our progress. I really do believe that if he's here the long term it'll be more detrimental to our future progress. Yes as people keep saying we've got 2 from 2, but the same problems are still evident from the previous seasons.
 
"I fully respected his time as manager". You used to disappear when we won games and show up in match threads when we were getting beat to gloat and call him useless. Not trolling, honest.

Haha, verbally challenged. Original that from you Leo. Actually very rarely do I talk about it, sorry to disappoint
