What about Messi?
He scored less than 10 last season, Liverpool's back four, Lucas and now probably Allen are all far more consistently effective than Suarez
What? How about Sterling's ball into Borini against Arsenal?

I think that's harsh. I think he would play better if he had more quality surrounding him.
I accept that but I also think that he is your best player and the only one capable of scoring or making something happen in the game. And no one in the Liverpool squad is regular (at playing well I mean).
Messi is getting a rest, he has played all minutes this season.
I'm confident that team can beat Getafe.
It's gross
Crowds are against him, referees are on to him, rightly or wrongly. He'd probably score 40 a season in La Liga, and the "star" strikers are a bit more protected over there.

Dismal.
Shelvey and Gerrard don't deserve to play the second half

Allen? What's he done?
Liverpool's back four are decidedly average: They're slow, leak goals and rarely do anything offensive.
Gerrard really needs to step it up - I hope Rodgers has the cajones to bench him.
You're gross.
Didn't see any of the game, was out, but sounds fun. We have a new hero. Looking forward to MOTD later.

Not even when he came off the bench to essentially beat you single-handedly last season?
Messi is not injured, he is on the bench.I guess it´s to get some rest.
It's true that Suarez will have a very difficult time winning a penalty ever again with all his diving antics, but I think you're understating his inabiity to be a consistent finisher. At the end of the day, as a striker he needs to be able to scorethat's his job. If he can't score, then don't play him as a striker.
I don't think Shelvey has done that badly? And to be honest, Gerrard hasn't had a bad game either. The problem in midfield is that both are far more comfortable further up the pitch, when only one can play there, plus it forces Allen to play as a DM when which is preventing him from imposing his passing on the game. When i saw the line-up I did think to myself that I would've preferred to see Henderson over Shelvey, I'd imagine him or Sahin will soon be on.
If they were in the NFL they would be fined $20,000 and forced to sit out one game.
Omg. Best pic ever. What an amazing buddy cop movie this would be.The FOLLOWING PIC IS LEGENDARY
That was more us playing like dog turd.

More for laziness than quality. Can't be doing with players who get tackled and stand there for 5 seconds before taking up their correct position
Best part of the game!

Canadian anchors keep saying 'Schwarez', it's brutal.
Oh, they should be able to win without him anyway. Whats going on with Dani Alves?
Yes and alexis and Messi, prepare for bloodshed Tello is starting. It's like playing against 12 men
Just because he isn't banging in goals doesn't mean Allen hasn't been extremely effective in midfield, his composure on the ball is outstanding, his ability to retain possession will cut out as many goals as any top tackling midfielder.
Last season Liverpool's back four was one of the best in the league, and I wouldn't say any of them are slow, I can't remember one of the first choice players being beaten for pace. Furthermore, the inability to contribute offensively has far more to do with the attacking players than the defenders.

Thank God this isn't the NFL. Fuck United and all, but a picture like that is pretty funny and no one gets hurt, it would be something else if they were giving the fingers to the camera or fans or something during the game on tv.

3 games, 3 denied penalties?

But he can run fast
This ain't the NFL. And if anything deserves a fine, it's Torres actions walkin off.
Worry about your own team.
And really Kagawa and Buttner weren't flicking off anybody.

Can you appeal yellows? Suarez is already on 3
she's in Big.
I don't think so. Yellow was harsh, could have been a penalty. You'd be surprised at the small amount of contact than can bring you over when travelling at pace.

Poor Shinji, that Büttner guy looks like a really bad influence. Shinji will end up in jail in the next year lol
José Mourinho

You never cease to amaze me. He wasn't having a go at them, simply stating that a similar image in the NFL would have certain repercussions .
And yeah, a player walking down the tunnel is definitely fine worthy, sure...
