I KNOW WHO SHE IS!
Who cares about post match....
Not the greatest performance from a lot of the lads today. Some were shit, some anonymous.
Definitely much better the second half, but that's not good enough against a team as poor as Newcastle.
Again we seemed to struggle against a team packing the defence, I suspect we'll see this every game now next season. Hopefully we'll have some new players to help with that.
A mention for gerrard. When he got given the captaincy I said he wasn't the right man for the job, and today proved it again. For me, a captain needs to be motivator and vocal, not just leading by example. When he's playing shit or making mistakes, what good is he as a captain then? At 1-0 down today, he needed to shout at the players, tell them we're better than that, and get them going. Instead, he moped around. No doubt is was left to Rodgers to do at half time. Gerrard has been such a hero to us for so long, I feel he's going to end his career with us being a liability. I would like to see him play a bit further forward, and have a dedicated DM behind him, but it looks like he'll finish his days in that role he's got now, a Hollywood ball spraying and set piece expert that offers little else-no direct goal threat, no pace, no tackling cover for the defence.

out of curiosity, were west ham ever in the game against city?
Fucking hell! An me just after changing my avatar.
I love it how the armchair fans analyze the game.
If I was Stevie G, I'd probably retaliate with something like this - "Well if you think you're so good, here why don't you try being a captain instead ?"
Sounds childish but then again sometimes you just gotta go down to the level of your critics and speak their fantasy football language.

I don't know what Rodgers' thinking was when he selected Joe Allen rather than Coutinho. Our shape was all wrong in the first half. WIth Sterling playing a central role, we were relying on Johnson and Flanagan to provide the width and they aren't good enough for that purpose. When Coutinho eventually came on about 30 minutes too late, everything clicked into place.
i've just concluded that you're deffo thick.
Agree about his captaincy, Mors, its that hang dog mopey face and the sulky demenour that we often see that has always been annoying, we haven't seen that since Xmas when he realised we were in with a chance, a blatent example that sticks out is when he scored that penalty against Palace and the players came to celebrate with him he brushed them off and didn't celebrate at all, if you didn't know better you would have thought he scored an own goal or a consolation at 4-0 down with 5 minutes to play, that sort of shit will rub off on the players, thats just not acceptable behaviour from a captain, especially someone of Gerrards stature.
Don't agree on the second bit, 4/5 months ago i would have when the idea was put forward and after his first couple of games (Villa home) but hes settled into the role well and been top notch in there, we have just gone 13-1-1 with him in that position, Gerrard will get caught out a bit more than other DMs purely from our attacking approach to games, those hollywood balls have set up a lot of goals this season directly and indirectly, when he has the time to pick those passes out as he does in the deep position he doesn't often get it wrong, that range of passing has proved to be massive asset to have in that position, many times it has turned defence into attack in a split second and caught teams out, thats all part of it with us, get the ball to our lethal forward players asap and let them do the rest, he does need those hard working legs in front of him though to help him out and not leave him exposed when we haven't got the ball.
So how does it feel knowing you're more intelligent than another person on this globe ?
soothing.
It's funny how you come up with that retort if someone doesn't buy into your own pathetic little bubble of a brain fart. It might be best if you mind your own business, you tragic little cunt, rather than try to be what you aren't. Which is interesting. You think you're superior by being smug after a shocker of an end to a season? Congratulations. Enjoy glorying in failure. One day, the enormity of what's been lost, and,even more so, the manner in which it's been lost, will dawn on you, and then you might have reason to wonder why you were so proud of your own glibness.
Loved SG's interview with Crra after the game: 'If we were scrapping for fourth spot and got the point against Palace and three today we'd be celebrating for weeks'
So true, but we weren't of course.

Everyone was shit first half. Game changed when Coutinho came on. That has to be our starting front four at home from now on.
Really proud of what we've achieved this season. Johnson and Lucas need to be fucked off though or resigned to squad status.
