ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

Sturridges injuries are nothing to do with his body, its all in his head. Every club he has been at, he's got injured when the pressure is on. At Chelsea, he'd only ever play if there was no others strikers available for what ever reason, then get injured. He'd then continue to say he's 100% fit when they are all available. Look at last season, the pressure wasn't on him, it was on Suarez, he got injured less. Now he has to prove himself without Suarez, injured again. The lads a bottler, at a bottler team, managed by a bottler manager.

...and if one red bottle, should accidentally fall...
 

I don't see Rodgers being fired by FSG, Henry is a numbers man and all Rodgers has to point to is the fact that he took the team with the fifth highest wage bill to fifth in the league after loosing Suarez. That will probably be enough for him to keep his job.... hopefully!
 
Yes he did look like Aldridge a good description. He must be lurking somewhere on the internet, and with his ego and mouth the size of the Mersey tunnel be busy giving it large on the internet somewhere, surely someone can find him! I'd love to hear his misery at the current season.

And yes that derby video he put up was superb, he was nearly crying in it. I think he said something like "and don't even think about trying to share a new stadium with us, you can stick to your shitty ground" or something equally ridiculous. It was that video he made mention of the fans who were laughing at him on this site. I think that irked him more than the defeat, the fact he had become a joke figure.

I also remember he listened to a cup game V Northampton live. They had drawn in extra time. He was giving it large about how "winning on penalties isn't a win anyway" taking it for granted they'd win on penalties. Cue 3 Liverpool players blasting it over and his miserable little face sagging that bit more.

Come on, someone help me out here, I need to view the little cretin again!

OMG yes, I forgot about that gem! I was crying laughing at him the bad mutant. I genuinely think he's deleted his channel, and probably killed himself after Crystanbul last year
 

...strangely they talked more about Arsenal being a better fit except for the timing. He could perhaps follow the latest trend and take a sebatical from the game and take the hot seat at Arsenal in 12 months. I agree with you that City would have to be an attractive option.
i don't think that is strange regards Klopp, I would say Arsenal is the ideal club for his style, and given his experience
 
'Outstanding value'? £19.2m per goal, £962,000 for each shot on target and even £80,000 for every pass: The astonishing stats that shame Balotelli... who was hailed by Rogers and Liverpool fans
edited
It was back on August 25 that Liverpool announced with great fanfare the £16m signing of Mario Balotelli from Milan.......
'I think we have done a really smart piece of business here,' gushed Rodgers. 'This transfer represents outstanding value for the club.'

EXPENSIVE BALOTELLI
Transfer fee: £16m
Weekly wages: £90,000
x 36 weeks at club = £3.24m
TOTAL SO FAR: £19.24m
In 16 Premier League appearances:
Goals - 1 or £19.24m per goal
Shots on target - 20 or £962,000 per shot
Shots off target - 16 or £1.2m per shot
Chances created - 10 or £1.924m per chance
Passes - 241 or £79,834 per pass

It is also worth noting that these figures do not include the bonuses included in Balotelli's incentivised contract, though a return of one league goal and just four overall suggests suggests there aren't many bonuses to speak of.
These expensive returns must be particularly galling for owner John W Henry, the man whose 'Moneyball' methods based on stats and value-for-money governed acquisitions at the Boston Red Sox baseball team he also owns
.

One Balotelli pass cost more than Seamus Coleman's transfer to us.


 

Improved (hopefully) after a bit more thought

One year on from Saint Slippy's Day, The seanchaí Rodgers and his boss are discussing the upcoming game.

Brendan:

What’s he that wishes so?
My cousin, John Henry? No!! My fair cousin;
If I am mark’d to fail, we are enow
To see our team in loss; and if to win,
With fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, I wish not one man more (till next season).
By Jove, I am so covetous for silverware,
Nor care I who doth mention my net cost;
It yearns me not if men our replica shirts wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honours,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from Oslo.
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, John, through our possession figures,
That he which hath no stomach for this fight,
Let him fly home; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his transfer fee;
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is called the feast of Stevie.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Gerrard.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil taunt Blue neighbours,
(Those who say “To-morrow is Saint Slippy's Day.”)
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his tatts,
And say “These wounds I had upon this day.”
Old men forget; as Aldo shall forget,
But he’ll remember offsides and advantages,
What feats we did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words -
Stevie the King, Sturridge and Mignolet,
Lallana and Lambert, Ballotelli and Philippe -
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good Red teach his son;
And Stevie's Day shall ne’er slip by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered -
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he Uruguayan or vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in Liverpool now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they weren't in Hull,
And hold small manhoods cheap while any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Stevie's day.

John Henry: Err, Yes Brendan. Is that Stevie Bruce then?
