Was really pleased the the physicality Allen played with late


I like bringing him on late to kill off games, with those fresh legs, sliding Cou out wide... granted he came on still tied up today..

I thought Glen was decent. For the first time in a long time.

Allen was incredible. He was everywhere, harrying, winning the ball, charging forward and sending a good pass. Without him we lose this one in my opinion.

Flanno was a huge part in closing this one out. How many times did he beat his man, maintain possession on the line and send a good ball in to some else? Spectacular final 15 from him.

Hendo MoM. Saved our asses twice.

I was surprised when Allen wasn't starting. Thought Rodgers would overload the midfield and let Suarez and Sturridge work their magic.

Fun match regardless. Our defense is fricking pathetic.

What does this game mean for Agger? I got so tired of him forcing passes to Suarez/Sturridge as they checked back only for them to lose possession.

I think its safe to say that there's no way in hell they catch us on GD. So really its more like 7 points.

You guys don't need to worry about Spurs. You guys are head and shoulders better than they are and unless something crazy happens, they won't catch you.

According to people that know you, little would be more fitting. I understand, trust me. Oh and I'm just glad to see you are awake.

Both Fulham and Cardiff can no longer finish above us.

One more win and we're mathematically safe from relegation!!!

Any of you planning on going to Chicago for the Olympiakos match?

The Cardinals (my team) are playing the Cubs at Wrigley that weekend, so I think me and a buddy (Cubs/Gooner) are going to make a weekend of it... had too much fun last time not to go ahead and go again

I was thinking about making the trip to Charlotte. Although Chicago would probably a better trip.

Yeah, the match ups are more appealing in the other two cities, but in a WC year, I figure none of the big players are gonna be there anyway... Chicago in the summer is so much fun!

Agger has lost something it seems


TFTC - do you think its just form from having a few injury spells this year? Or mental?

To me he just doesn't seem as competitive and focused as he usually was in the past few years. But really, we got lucky he was healthy last year - this year is a lot more indicative of his missing time throughout his career.

I'm hoping Sakho will be back soon, just to provide depth and to provide a push to them all. You go all out and play well or you sit.

To some degree, he hasnt got a run of games to really show if its injuries or just lack of game sharpness... I just think the writing is on the wall, that he is probably gone in the summer.... We spent £17MM on Sakho and I think he is our future LCB. I like it, because he is still young and much more physical than anyone we have...

I love Agger as much as the next LFC fan, but time to sell him while he still holds some value... I think he would do well in Serie A..

I think one of the biggest needs in the off season is to find a partner that compliments Sakho at RCB... I think Ilori's skill set is perfect, he's just not ready... Another year on loan..

Funny thing is, I kinda wish Carra would have stuck it out one more year.. and I bet he does too, with us in the title hunt..

He's already admitted he regrets retiring when he did. Although I'm sure a big part of that is because we're finally competing for the title
