I've watched virtually all our games on my own because surprise surprise I like to examine how we play and hear the commentary, both hard to do in the pub.

Although I wouldn't mind seeing what the atmosphere is like in there for one game at least.

Granted my neighbours are probably wondering what the f8ck I've been up to for the last 6 months shouting and screaming and making noise at 3am every Monday morning.

You're barred until it's won.

I'm not having you upsetting the cosmic balance & jinxing us by showing up at The Imperial.

So yeah... if sitting through years of Hodgson, and steadying the ship, and N'Gog, and utopia if we were to get a result at Goodison, and a midfield of Cole-Poulsen-Spearing-Jovanovic, and Paul Konchesky for three and a half million, and Dalglish, and 50M for Andy Carroll, and Downing whopping in crosses, and Torres wanting to leave, and Mascherano wanting to leave, and Reina wanting to leave, and Suarez wanting to leave, and coming 7th, and 8th, and scoring no goals, and playing utterly fucking shite football, and not filling the stadium, and having to endure those cunts winning their 18th, 19th, 20th title... Was the price, the indignity, and the endurance we had to somehow pay in order to get that fucking walking legend Brendan Rodgers into the club, then fuck me it was worth every horrible minute.

This is all Brendan Rodgers. From 7th, to the top of the league with the fucking thing in our hands. It's so amazing, yet I almost feel it's happening too fast. Why are we continually dicking sides - great sides too - 3, 4, & 5-0? Aren't we supposed to struggle to finish 4th? Aren't managers not supposed to make a difference? Don't we need some fucking hideous Ruskian petro-billionaire? Look at those scenes in the stands before the match. Look at how his players gravitate to him. Brendan Rodgers is a fucking legend.

Moment of the Match: John Flanagan running right through Lennon after about 2 minutes. Bang. Take that you wee eyebrow-shaving, looking-at-your-reflection-in-your-boots prancing cunt. Cos John Flanagan, our fucking 9th choice full-back at the start of the year has just emptied you. And you're the one getting dragged by your fucking makeweight manager in the second half 5 minutes after our 9th choice full-back fucking Cafu's his way 60 yards up the ground to set-up our 3rd.

I fucking love our football club.

[article]2. Rodgers gets it right; Sherwood struggles

During his first 18 months at Anfield, Rodgers was prone to matches when he got everything -- team selection, tactics and result -- wrong. Not any longer.[/article]

Richard Jolly writes some shit, as usual. Prone my hairy wrinkled balls. He's made mistakes like all managers with his tactics and selections, but I'd like him to list me the games in which Rodgers got everything wrong. Probably 2 games this season (and only one half of each game for that matter), and maybe a couple of games last season, which, given the team he had then, would've been really harsh anyway.

Rubbish opening statement.
 
I don't understand people who're concerned about Flanagan defensively, especially those who are member of the Glen Johnson fan club.

If we're playing Real Madrid in the Champions League next season, I'd rather have Jon Flanagan defending out wide against Bale/Di Maria/Ronaldo than Glen Johnson.

And I'd rather have Jon Flanagan defending them than Daniel Agger too. Agger is a horrible 1v1 defender as we've seen.

Skrtel was an absolute boss today, but Agger's still on my shit list. I don't see what Agger brings to the pitch that Sakho doesn't, and Sakho is a much better defender as well. But I imagine BR wants a settled back line.

There was also that mad moment(mentioned it in the other thread) where Agger was getting completely outpaced by Soldado, and wasn't strong enough to block him off. If your CB is both slower and weaker than Roberto Soldado, then something is horribly wrong.

Absolutely 100%. I would not be surprised in the slightest to see Agger gone in the Summer and Sakho installed as our #1 CB partnership with Skrtel (who I have to admit has improved immensely over the past 10 games or so). I'd still want another top quality CB brought in though.

Hodgson esque quotes from Sherwood at the end. He makes it sound as though he brought his team to lose and elected to sit in the directors box simply to observe how they would go about losing. How is that acceptable?

agreed - i think he said I was not in the dugout cos I could not influence things - what does that say about his ability as a manager?
 
Highlight for me was when the game was getting a bit frantic coming up to half time and the nerves just starting to fray, Sterling got the ball in our half and, instead of launching another attack, just put his foot on the ball and instantly slowed the game down and put us back in control. Great tactical awareness from him and something learnt from the sunderland game.
 
BTW. That Skrtel block. If it had ended with a Tottenham goal instead, the game might have turned out very very different. Massive bit of defence.

EDIT: I see it's been mentioned already. Still worth another shout.
