A superb performance against one of our rivals.
No Gerrard or Sturridge, the team stepped up today against a good midfield on paper.
Special mention for the very talented Brendon Rodgers, no doubt in mind with this manger in charge we will win the title sooner or latter.
The whole team passed and attacked well, good to see Henderson put in a good performance as he has most of the season.


Hopefully we can get some more signings in Jan time, the owners need to back him more.
As we are still short of a few players, good gap between us and the mancs 8 points.
Still a long way to go our goal is to qualify for champions league anything more would just be a bonus.

best performance under BR without Sturridge, Gerrard, Enrique absolutely class. Hendo, Allen and Sterling who have taken a lot of criticism deserve a lot of praise as well as Sakho and Flanno.

I was worried about Flanno before the game thought Lennon/Townsend would have him in their pocket and same with Allen, Lucas and Hendo thought Dembele and Sandro would boss them, I would have taken a point before the game. How wrong was I, we did everything right, that should hopefully give them the confidence and belief that they can do well without Stevie and to push on.

I did feel Coutinho had a poor game not to his usual standards.

Henderson at his best!

I was worried about Flanno before the game thought Lennon/Townsend would have him in their pocket.

I have to say that since Flanno has made a return to the first team he has been solid in every game and seems to be getting better with each game. Let's hope it's a sign of genuine progress and not a purple patch. Time will tell.

A changed man? Press react to Luis Suarez?s ?humble? Player of the Year acceptance

http://www.thisisanfield.com/2013/12/changed-man-press-react-luis-suarezs-humble-player-year-acceptance/

Luis Suarez was awarded the Football Supporters? Federation Player of the Year last night at a glitzy award ceremony in North London.

Suarez was one of few players who turned out for the event at Arsenal?s Emirates Stadium to accept his award and speak to fans and media.

Henry Winter of the Telegraph, who was awarded the Football Writer of the Year award, wrote how he felt humbled by the Uruguayan international?s appearance:

Su?rez must have felt after all the criticism he has received that this was a night of acceptance, of redemption.

Mind you, Mr. Winter, maybe it was a night for redemption for more than one person. This is the same writer who labelled Suarez a ?toxic cheat? in the summer, but cosied up for photographs to share the night with the 26-year-old anyway.

Winter adds:

Even if some allowance is made for Liverpool fans? noted assiduousness in campaigning, Su?rez?s success also highlights further the forgiveness of the football fan. He caused brief outrage when attempting to leave Anfield in the summer.

After a controversial year for Suarez, he accepted the award and gave thanks to Liverpool fans for welcoming him back at Anfield with open arms following a long-term suspension.

He is quoted by Sporting Life as saying, ?After so many difficult moments for me I was able to win the supporters back, and that was unbelievable when I came back to play.

?They helped me, and that was important for me, for my confidence, and for my family, because they are together with me in this.

?It?s very special for me (the award) because my hard work on the pitch is recognised.

?Everybody knows about my problems and my difficult year, but after that I forgot everything and have been able to get back on the pitch.?

Suarez is now the league?s top scorer this season with 17 goals in just 11 appearances, and Liverpool can go top of the table with a win at home to Cardiff City next Saturday.

Asked about Liverpool?s title chances, Suarez added, ?Liverpool are starting to reach their potential and we can play our best on the pitch.

?It?s very important that we stay together, we keep going, this is very important.

?If Liverpool don?t have these players I cannot continue my level, because it?s too much.

?They know I am important, so they try everything to stay together, that?s important for me, but it?s more important for the club.?

Well it's Liverpool vs Oldham in the 3rd round FA Cup that's 3 years running now we'll be playing them, nice little family reunion as well when they meet as Brendan Rodgers' son Anton plays for Oldham.

Rumour's tonight Ian Ayre has travelled to Barcelona to begin contract talks with Luis agent.

The Spurs game was too easy. Have to say i don't understand why Rodgers left Suarez on for the whole 90 minutes. Seems pointless after the third goal leaving him on when Liverpool have to play 4 games with in 12 days. I know he had a week to rest. But after third goal you don't risk players like Suarez. Henderson had his best game of his life and I'm sure everyone couldn't believe it. I also want to say about the pictures of the team at the Children's Hospital. Was their a hidden meaning in the pic with them around the most sick kid of them all with the Everton blanket on him?

You dont understand football mate full stop. As to visiting the hospital your sick in the head for even thinking such a thing .

[grizzuk]

Nice to see Luis has signed a nice long contract extension, now wenger knows what he can do with his 40 mill and a pound

Of all the stupid things you've come out with that tops the lot

[zee24]

@wolfpack NO! there wasn't a hidden message you plank, they make that hospital visit every year and meet all the children doesn't mater what team they support.

and there's no pleasing you, we could win every cup and league up for grabs and you'd still be criticising something or other.

They did the same last year as well as this will prove

Another great performance. Puts the pressure firmly on the gooners. The way things are going can't see Gerard or Sturidge getting a game

[maca]

Great first half. second half we seemed to loose our way a bit after flanighan went off but great to be top of the table well done lads

[gmb45]

quality pool at the top manure 8th pools year am hoping

[khan07958]

Good win today, thought sterling had a good game.
What a remarkable job Brendon is doing in rebuilding the empire once again.
First half, you would have thought with the movement etc we were Barcelona.
Top of the league with a squad still short of players, just shows the superb work done so far by Brendon.
