That condescending post-match interview when you beat Swansea 2-0 gave you a head start.

Let's talk honestly about Lewandowski to Bayern.
The facts:
It's not done yet. Lewy wants to go to Bayern for whatever reason and Bayern wants him. But BVB hasn't agreed a deal yet.
My opinion:
Bayern is giving the media "sources" that the deal is done, Lewy agreed, etc. Why? To annoy our whole club. The way they play in this transfer, the only way to end the shit is to agree a deal in the near future and that's what they want.
Conclusion:
Fuck Bayern

But it must have been wonderful for you to watch the team everyone talked about
I think he's good but right now making a few mistakes that wouldn't matter as much at a side with less pressure than Liverpool.
Read an interview with Gerrard and Carragher in this months FourFourTwo where as a positive they said that if their plan A isn't working, there is no plan B or C and they're expected to persevere with A until they make the breakthrough. That's all well and good in the long run but speaks a little of naivety for Rodgers.
Say what now? :/

That's partly Rodgers' fault though. Allen and Borini were both players he worked with before so I can only imagine he lobbied heavily for those buys.
And Sturridge's looked decent.

Only 1 this season.
23 games, 13 goals and 10 assists. He's having another really productive season despite being shifted all over the place.
You know, I don't even want him, but if it annoys the Dortmund fans enough, I might warm to the idea.
Well a 3-2 win home leg win wouldn't be that great of a result in this type of format
To be fair the two goals Chelski scored were amazing and practically unstoppable. Does Anzhi have players like Lampard and Mata?
Allen's shown more than enough at the start of his Liverpool career to convince me he is a good signing for the future. Borini's shown me naff all, to be honest, there's only so much I can say about good, positive running.
A larger problem is that we're buying young players, and it's difficult to judge a player of such an age, especially when they command a large fee. People will always judge them, even though it's wiser not to. Everyone does it, I do it, Zahahahaha, for example.
People said Henderson was shit, and he just isn't. Think Allen's got enough potential to come good, especially when he's already been really good at the start of the season.
Nah, deal is done, they just decided not to announce it yet for obvious reasons. Blame Lewandowski or deal with it.

That's the main problem IMO.
Who is the eldest player signed under Rodgers?
He's doing what I do on FM, signing only young players. Liverpool need a couple of players who are going to perform more consistently and immediately. Doesn't necessarily mean spending big money either.
Why I think signing somebody like Ince now, good as he may be, would be a luxury. Liverpool have enough young and promising forwards.

I kind of agree. There's a lot I admire about Rodgers, Ironically it's his reign at Liverpool that has won me around on him, despite them being in a less than stellar position. I wasn't convinced he was the real deal when he took over.
I'd love to see him at a top club, I imagine he could create a team that plays similar to Wenger's invincibles.
Eto'o
Have you been drinking? :lol :lol
mandzukic has been vital for us. he's creating so much space for müller and kroos.
gustavo has to play much more games. he still isn't the old gustavo. totally out of loop after his injury
But Bayern is still comfortable. I think Bastain si a machine that always work hard no matter what.
Willian.
A rare thing just happened http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/feb/15/robbie-rogers-comes-out-gay-soccer
Bit sad that he's retiring because of it though.

I think Aguero's divorce will be his undoing at City. He has played better since it became public knowledge at least.. maybe getting that burden out into the open will help. In time though, I have a feeling he'll want to leave since his wife isn't living in England any longer. Tevez is definitely off in the summer due to his desire to go back to Argentina.
Dzeko will probably be sold because he's not a Chicharito type player who is okay with getting his minutes when he gets them. He (Dzeko) is notably worse without frequent play... whether that is down to his attitude, I'm not sure. Unless we're playing Kolarov or Milner -- guys who are particularly effective at getting down the wing and sending in a ball, he isn't especially well-suited for the way City plays. Maybe whoever we replace Nasri with (fingers crossed) will fix this issue. Maybe it's permanently JM7, who knows.
I agree with you 100% though. We need to get rid of Nasri immediately and sign someone to replace him who provides a constant threat. Hazard would have been perfect in that role... defending against him, Silva and Toure in the midfield would be nearly impossible. Silva is having to do far too much this year because he's not getting the support Nasri should be providing. There is just no threat at all from him -- he is clearly switched off.
Fuuu
Oh well. Shit competition.
And I just looked at last year's table to compare Liverpool's performance at this stage in the league. They had 3 more points I think than they do now. Was Dalglish really a flop?
Yes, he is creating space, but often loses the ball when doing so. that's what irritates me. (I know it's rather petty, but I think there's always room for improvement).
Gustavo really does need more games, yes.
Agreed. At the moment Wolfsburg's pressure seems to be diminishing by the minute. The goal really deflated them.
Don't know if it has been posted.

Eto'o, Willian, Boussoufa. Traore is a load to handle as well.

Schmeichel was better.

Haven't seen much of him at Anzhi, just the odd European games, seems to start often enough for them. He was amazing during his years in the Belgian league though, always looked too good to stay that long at Gent and Anderlecht. Usually doesn't mean much but you could tell he was special enough to succeed in a big league. His move to Anzhi caught everyone off guard.
Of course he was.
