A question for Ed001 if possible. I know you were a fan of Gary medel, as I am, is there any hope of us going for him? He seems ideal for us in that DM role, a total bull of a player, I can't really understand why we haven't busted a gut to get him.

{Ed001's Note - no sorry, we had a chance to get him in the summer but didn't want to know. I believe that to be a major mistake.}

Long time reader, haven't posted in a while but here's my opinion (for what it's worth).
Having been a fan through thick and very thin, I always try to take a balanced view, somewhere between elation and downright despair. Last nights game has given all us long serving fans some glimmers of hope in my opinion, for a simple reason, we looked organised. It might sound simplistic, but all great teams have been built on this basic premise. Players playing in their positions, knowing their jobs and executing them well. What was most interesting to me from last night, was watching the back line at set pieces etc. all linking arms to keep the line, constant shouting, pointing, handing off runners etc when necessary. The new coaching set up has definitely made a big, positive difference and for that, we can be optimistic going forward.
Some negatives. Our handling of Gomez. He played very well for the most part, and this isn't a dig at him at all, but I feel he needed more protection as the game wore on, and Moreno should've come on instead of Ibe in my opinion, as when he did, we looked more secure on that side. Skrtel played well BUT was still guilty of dropping off, despite the communication and organisation being better. Hopefully with more coaching this will alleviate. The other negative was our insistence on dropping off in the second half, something which must be tactical as we seem to do it in every game away from home. I know arsenal were clearly going to be better, but I still think we should've pressurised higher up the pitch. But, lots and lots of positives, coupled with the knowledge that we usually improve as the season wears on, gives me cause for cautious optimism. As can the introduction of rossiter. He looked the part when he came on, organising well and getting involved, I just hope we protect him, in the sense of giving him experienced help on the pitch while he settles in.
Anyway, long post, but felt the need to be sunny for once, things are looking ok.

Rossiter reminds of a younger Steven Gerrard.

He absolutley doesn't Jax! What a weird comment! One is a slow defensive midfielder (Rossiter) and the other was an all action powerful attacking midfielder! They are in no way shape or form similar other than they are both scouse! I guess Conor Randall is the new Gerrard as well because he is nothing like him and scouse ;)

{Ed001's Note - Rossiter is not a slow defensive midfielder, no idea where you got that from.}

Wouldn't of said he Moreno needed to come on instead of Ibe as all the attacks were coming down our right side at Clyne because credit to Gomez was that they were having no luck down the right so they shifted to the left and Firmino looked shattered after 60 minutes - Maybe Moreno should've came on earlier for Coutinho but thought the right hand side was solid and didn't look exposed once

So he is a quick defensive midfielder?! I got the idea from watching him fo the last 3 seasons in the under21s! Where he has always played a defensive midfielder! With either O'Hanlon,Branngan,Chirivella ahead of him. Before that in the under 18s and under 19s he played as a defensive midfilder with Philipps and or Trickett-Smith ahead of him. And all the midfielders i mentioned have more pace than him. He is the best of all of then though! Gerrard has always lacked defensive qualites while those qualities are Jordan Roasiters strongest points.

{Ed001's Note - seriously? You have watched him but never noticed he is not a defensive midfielder? Which is why Milner dropped into the holding role last night, rather than him. Perhaps you should take a closer look, Chirivella is the player that usually favours a defensive midfield role.}

I noticed milner was the DM, because his legs had gone and rositter can run all day! Call him what you want mate rositter is a defensive minded player and has always played DMfor the u21s, Chirivella just started playing for the u21- by the end of last season when rossiter was injured. Rositter never played ahead of chirivella!

{Ed001's Note - you just listed Chirivella as a player that Rossiter plays behind, so make up your mind. You clearly have just decided to see what you want. I am not going to waste my time arguing with someone who can offer no opinion or any kind of argument to back up their rubbish. Rossiter played central midfield yesterday, but you started off wittering on with total bull about him being a slow defensive midfielder, when he has never been a defensive midfielder. He was always a box to box midfielder, hence why Fowler referred to him as the next Gerrard. Rossiter came on and played ahead of Milner, nothing to do with Milner's legs going, which is just a complete lie or delusion from you, but because Rossiter is not a defensive midfielder and the decision was to go with an experienced head back there shoring up things.}

Are you serious? Iam talking about him in the under 21s not yesterday! He is 100 %nothing like Gerrard and never will be!

{Ed001's Note - did I say he was anything like Gerrard? I think you need to give it a rest now, you aren't even reading what I put so this is pointless, he is NOT a defensive midfielder no matter what delusions you have had. End of.}

It's pure 'last chance saloon' stuff from Werner. A public backing, yes, but also a thinly veiled message that Rodgers must improve after their support and backing in the market or he's out. All of the noises coming out of both camps points to it being his last chance as boss.
