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

Starting to think Rodgers brought in Balotelli to serve as a scapegoat because he knew they wouldn't be playing even close to the level that they were with Suarez. Just another way that fraud can blame his players for all his own shortcomings.
The only problem with that analysis is that B-Rod bought Balotelli and B-Rod didn't buy Suarez. The 'best manager in the world' can't have it both ways.
 
You don't look at the league until around 15 games played. Means nothing right now. They might be 5th but 2 defeats in a row could see them back down into 15th.

Only once the teams have played around 15 games, do you get some kind of inkling as to where teams might finish and/or challenge.
West Ham are 4th. Enough said.
 
Something could be learned from the way Madrid went about their business and got into that Liverpool team. Their mentality and the way they soaked up the early bit of expected gung ho; before rolling their sleeves up and showing them how they play football for 40 minutes of the first half was nice to see.

So many teams go to the pit and start shaking with fear before they've even took to the field; teams cannot play their own game and revert to different tactics. We as Evertonians know this too damn well and teams could learn a thing or three from the way Madrid went at it with ..... we'll play our own game and you're entitled to play yours; lets see who the better team is. Yes Madrid have a better quality of player than the rest but i honestly think a good proportion of the downfall teams have going there and to other places like Stamford Bridge and The Emirates, is psychological.
But it does help (a little bit) to have the world's best players.
 
'Familiarity can sometimes be a trick of the mind. Know something for long enough and it's capacity to surprise seems to disappear while never vanishing completely. The capacity to change for the better is always there and while the challenge to simply maintain becomes ever greater, let the rest of them be duped into underestimating again.'

I'm going for a lie down,
 
Some bloke on ESPN FC has laid down on Gnashers spectacularly. Completely called him out for mooching off the "Suarez and Sturridge gravy train" before turning Balotelli into a scapegoat after spending hundreds of millions on spuds.

It was like he took a transcript from davek's brain and read it out verbatim.

For some reason that reminds me of this:

“When the world is ruled by violence, and the soul of mankind fades, the children's path will be darkened by the shadow of the neon maniacs."

One for all fans of 80s 'shlock horror' flix. :)

I feel a 'crying and shaking' coming on...
 
Origi looked decidedly average despite the commentators best attempts to big him up. Lukaku did more in the cameo he had than Origi managed all match. Similar to the world cup though, Lukaku produced when it matters whereas Origi is just all work outside the box. Like a lot of their strikers, its a case of all hype no substance. Loads of the kopites are getting off over his run down a channel which resulted in absolutely nothing. Was the only time in the whole night he got behind a defense containing 37 year old Distin and Tony Hibbert.

Another teenager for Brendan to lump the hopes of LFC on and run into the ground like Sterling. He can then join Owen and Torres in the list of strikers' careers Liverpool effectively destroyed by their complete over reliance on them.

He's the final piece mate, cos you know he ran the channels and Suarez did that, so obviously there's total equivalence between them.
 
Their fans are getting really desperate if they are looking forward to having Origi next season. LAd is a headless chicken, all pace no product. Like a poor mans Julian Joachim and they have spunked £10m on him.
