I thought the game looked a lot livelier when all the young lads were on towards the end.

Great goal by Tekkers tho.

ryan kent looked a lively little so and so didn't he?

He did mate, there must be about 4 or 5 of the U21's knocking on Brendans door now.

Maybe a couple of loan spell might do them some good.

3 things I really enjoyed about that match; We seem to have more control of the game and professionalism (if you can call it that) than we did last season. Going for broke was exciting but it was our

Read a short while ago about Ojo going to wolves.

Not heard about Kent tho.

Be great to see these lads get some game time.

I like the tactical game plan. Which seemed to be grind out early, keep it tight. Then with 25 minutes to play, bring on Can, switched to 4-3-3 and go for the win. We looked a lot more fluid in that formation. Lallana wasn't giving us any width in the 4-2-3-1. Wouldn't mind seeing us with a natural left sided winger in that formation.

Can is going to be the man in the middle sooner rather than later. I don't see how he can be a sub player, too good.

Gomez did well for his first start as young lad, thought Clyne looked good. Milner worked hard. Benteke couldn't really do anymore than he did, I like having him up there as a presence. Firmino's cameo gave us something to look forward to.

Even Lovren played well today.

3 tough points at Britania today, first round and all....great win!

yeah bob, was really pleased with the tactical setup - be solid, work hard, press, don't concede and then when we settle look to nick one. brendan had a good day at the office today. props to young gomez, jonathan walters normally murders whoever we have playing leftback and you're right, lovren had a very good game, credit where it's due. delighted with that three points.

Great start to the season, thats a tough one out the way. Impressed with the likes of Milner giving it all out there and showing what is expected when players put on the LFC Shirt.

We looked solid and obviously a couple of the young players will learn from that. I thought Stoke were decent and they will do well this season.

Master class moment from the Little Magician ! As others said credit to Lovren big game for him and the manager. Lets hope it continues.

pretty damning stuff on balotelli.

Mario Balotelli: Birthday boy gets no Liverpool happy return as his career unravels on Merseyside
It was during the week after Liverpool’s home defeat to Manchester United in March when a realisation struck among those with influence inside Anfield that Mario Balotelli would not change.
Two stories reflect Balotelli’s listless attitude. During training Colin Pascoe, then Liverpool’s assistant manager, gathered the squad in a huddle close to Melwood’s perimeter wall. Thirty or 40 yards away, Jon Flanagan was hobbling by, an injured player facing almost a year on the sidelines. Balotelli started shouting towards him for no apparent reason, “Hey, hey…” interrupting Pascoe’s flow. For that, the Italian was threatened with banishment to the changing rooms.
Later in the afternoon, Balotelli scored a jaw-dropping goal from near the halfway line. Witnesses stood open-mouthed: first-team players shook their heads in disbelief, youngsters smirked nervously at the brilliance in front of them. One problem: the goal was at the wrong end.
At 1-1 during a 10 on 10 match, with Balotelli on the weaker team made up of likely substitutes for the weekend’s game at Arsenal as well as teenagers from the academy, he deemed it appropriate to turn around and fire a shot towards Brad Jones. The goalkeeper was helpless. Balotelli thought it hilarious, laughing away by himself in the centre circle.
When Liverpool’s squad travelled to London on Good Friday, Balotelli was not present. His next appearance came almost a month later as a substitute when Aston Villa stubbed out the remaining light on both his and Liverpool’s miserable campaigns.
Balotelli’s Liverpool career unravelled quickly. Staying up with friends late the night before a Champions League defeat to Basel in Switzerland was a bad way to endear himself to manager Brendan Rodgers. Then he was banned from driving after being caught speeding at 109mph on the M62 in December.
By Christmas, indeed, Balotelli did not know the names of some of his team-mates – regulars who feature in the starting XI. It is reasoned he lost out on moments where relationships are developed because he missed home cooking so much that rather than eating at Melwood before and after training, he organised for lunch and dinner to be delivered to his Formby mansion from an Italian restaurant.
Balotelli now knows he has no future at Liverpool. It did not deter him from beginning his 25th birthday celebrations at 1am on Wednesday morning, with friend Desmond N’Ze releasing a video on social media of the striker being sprayed with Veuve Clicquot champagne. Earlier, upon receiving a parking ticket in Liverpool’s city centre, Balotelli took to Instagram, revealing a photograph of the issuing attendant.
Until 18 months ago, N’Ze was also a footballer, contracted to Fujeida MYFC in the Japanese third division. Having met Balotelli at Internazionale in 2008, N’Ze is said to have given up on his professional career and since has operated as Balotelli’s gopher.
The pair have been inseparable on Merseyside, with Balotelli frequently inviting N’Ze into Melwood before it was made clear by management that he would not be welcome.
As last season ambled towards a conclusion, N’Ze was often seen sleeping in the passenger seat of Balotelli’s red Ferrari in Melwood’s car park, waiting for his friend to finish work.
Those who witnessed Balotelli’s efforts in training admit that he might as well have joined him.

This is proof there is no God, no God would gift this clown the talent he has been "blessed" with. He'd have trouble getting a job in McDonald's if there was no money in football.

We might be stuck with this fool, but we might be thankful it happened as catalyst for Rodgers having control of transfers in this summer.

Read more rubbish from Jose Enrique today. All this great money in the EPL is screwing clubs over when it comes to getting rid of those that didn't work out. They'll never get the same money or as good money in any other league, unless it's with Barca or RM. So if another club in the EPL doesn't come in they'll hang about until the contract ends.

loyalty. <deleted> me. he's not even earned his bloody wages and we have to give him a bonus for simply breathing.

You're going to have to pay him to leave, nobody wants him he is going to cost Liverpool a lot of wasted money.

Clubs have to start putting there own clauses in these contracts. e.g. If a player does not make a minimum amount of appearances in a season (if fit to play) and is surplus to requirements in the summer then he is obliged to take an offer that meets a minimum agreed requirement, i.e. wages, fees. If he doesn't then he is in breach of contract and it can be terminated.

I'm going to call it the "You Need To &lt;deleted&gt; Off" Clause

i hear he's available for the same fee West Brom paid Hull for James Chester and yet still no one wants to buy him. Its just as much a reflection of his lousy attitude as his lack of form.

Nice to wake up to a win, and a goal from the new guy. Doesn't sound too convincing according to the writeup I read, but I don't really care.

exactly, its three points, and two games in who cares. Furthermore, a somewhat fortuitous win like this offers the opportunity for another hilarious Brendon Rodgers interview and in this he has no equal! biggrin.png

Another 3 points we have had to grind out, really rode our luck to be honest against a team we should be rolling over - maybe its just too early to pass judgement yet.

Arsenal away is not going to fun though, we don't have enough cohesion in our passing and movement going forward.

Positives - Coutinho again showing he's on another level at times and he's still finding his match sharpness. The new signings such as Clyne, Benteke and Milner have impressed again though.
