A strong manager would have punted Gerrard. He's slow in thought and deed. How pathetic does he look keeping tight hold of the ball for free kicks or penalties simply because he has nothing else to offer? Henderson is doing his leg work for him. Rodgers should be going with Henderson and Can if he's serious about building a team. But Gnashers just hasn't got the strength of character to settle who runs that team between himself and Gerrard.

Always had the feeling that managers were only at Anfield if they had Gerrard's approval. Ask Hodgson!!

Long may it be so
 
Their must win game and they blew it haha

Here is how it could well go from here

Real Madrid beat them twice - Real 12 points
Basle beat and draw Ludogrets at least - 7 -9 points
Liverpool - 3 points
ludogrets - 0/1 point

Then liverpool have to win their last 2 games and hope basle drew against ludogrets once.

If they draw vs basle they are out. they drop any points after real they are out.

ONLY ludogrets holding basle to a draw twice or beating them will give them hope. That or liverpool beating real.

Its simpler if you think Real will beat Liverpool and Basle home and away. Basle and Liverpool will beat Ludo home and away. So it comes down to a straight knock out between Basle and Liverpool. Im not sure whether its head to head or goal difference that would count if Liverpool beat Basle in that scenario.

You kbow anyway Ludogorets will troll us by drawing twice with basle whilst Liverpool spawn a win their. That stupid Gerrard penalty has kept them in this group.

It is head to head which is why Basle sit above the RS now even though Basle got stuffed by Madrid.

Hodgson had the proverbial poisoned chalice there with the crowd ripping him to bits "because he wasn't Kenny"...and because he had him hanging round Anfield all the time openly touting for poor ole Woy's job to be their manager again. That's apart from the team displays. I may be wrong though but I always thought Gerrard put being onside with the Kopites ahead of, as skipper, openly supporting his manager. He did of course, at the same time, have the predictable fist pumping/camera kissing to a fine art playing up to them and as a budding 'national treasure'. Different kettle of fish when he was Hodgson's skipper for England when he couldn't praise him enough in the media...whilst doing bugger all on the pitch with the armband on.

i havent met one liverpool fan this season who is happy to admit gerrard is nothing like he used to be and should be dropped. It is because he is slippy g and therefore bullet proof and an instant starter.
 
Surely Gerrard is officially the universal face of disappointment by now?

Like 'the Saint of almost getting there?'
Any man and his dog could see it was Suarez - they just had to spend the £70M properly on one or two class acts.

They tried.....oh Lord but they tried.

But no class acts wanted owt to do with them.

Not Sanchez, not De Maria, not E'too.

Instead they got half the Saints to march in and a fruitcake Italian misfit.

With zippo chance of any of them having any decent sell on profit.

In that case Liverpool probably only have to beat Ludogorets and Basle at home 1-0 to qualify. If Madrid beat everyone, and lets assume (although a stretch) that everyone beats Ludogorets home and away. Liverpool would probably have the better goal difference considering Basle got spanked 4-1 by Madrid, meaning they could lose to Madrid twice, scrape past Ludogorets away and only have to spawn a single goal win at home. Champions league can be a joke, enter tournament lose a load of games, still end up winning it. Massive assumptions I know but i wouldn't count Liverpool out of weaseling out the group yet.

Correct. (apart from 5-1 not 4-1)

The very same fans who said carragher should retire because he is slow. Yet slippy G is still a box to box dynamo with his plan B of Quaterback. Boy oh Boy do they need carraghers leadership in that leaky defence.
