Why criticize the manager when the board bought Torres & wanted him to be played ?

You don't understand, I'm telling there was pressure to get the best out of Torres hence he was played - you can't seriously tell me managers rated him higher as a striker.

Torres was playing because we cannot bench or sell him which is the board's fault.

So you lot were against it when we signed Torres? When Carlo asked for Torres and the board obliged. You knew it would drive Sturridge out the team right?

Very good 1-0 game.

I know I was. My rant on Twitter was epic.

For those price and wages, of course!

Not worried about Liverpool at all, Suarez will improve them obviously

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Liverpool play well, but they will still drop a shit load of points, the other team seems to be able to always inflict damage on them. They are still a young inexperienced team, I can't see them getting top 4 this season, I would say 6th place.

agreed.

Should have put this game to bed long time ago, for me they need to sure up the CB position, Toure and Agger is just not good enough.

[Special Juan 27,439]

First game but Liverpool looked shaky as hell when stoke went at them.

Still think they will end up about 6th.

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

Fuk u Walters. Your shit

[Special Juan 27,439]

He miss hit the penalty, he kicked the fucking thing into the ground.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Great game none the less. Stupid pen but anyway. Liverpool where ok but not great.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Arsenal will lose and Everton will win, write it down!!!

Am I the only one who doesn't see what all the fuss about Coutinho is? Sure, he's very good on the ball and has an eye for a pass, but he often over-dribbles, can't defend and his work-rate is terrible. He leaves his fullback complete exposed and it gets exploited by opposition. In the first half, 53% of Stoke's attacks came from the right, Coutinho's side, while only 18% came from the left.

I went on that forum Cap is on last week, and all the Liverpool fans have a huge appreciation thread for him. They claim he is going to be one of the best premier league players ever, not to mention they are constantly comparing him with Oscar saying he's done a lot more than Oscar has.

Most of Liverpools players are just luxurious players, they constantly overdo things, they make look flashy, but when it comes to results they certainly aren't getting enough points.

Scousers won but meh, the League is back finally. Pool is usually better without Suarez which proved again.

Now I am looking forward to see Nico Anelka back in England.

Coutinho may have ripped Swanseas/Norwichs of the league apart but when has he delivered in a big game? hype over nothing

Now, I see you twisted the story a bit. No one was against signing Torres.

Did anyone know Torres would become the most expensive dud in PL ? Of course not.

lol jon walters, kill yourself

Yes, Kill yourself because you missed a penalty in a football match. Still earns around 30k a week but yeah, take your own life.

Let yourself down there, lad.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

I think Coutinho is fking awesome. He'll be a great player, should be part of Brazil's squad dunno why he isn't. Not gonna hate on him just cause he's direct competition to Oscar.
