Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, following his side's 3-0 defeat at West Brom:
"The sending off and penalties were very, very harsh I felt.Some of the decisions went against us. We will have more days like this along the way, that is the reality, but I could not ask many more from the players.
They have given me everything. We had some chances but West Brom took
full advantage of the extra man. "There were some good moments today but it was a day when everything went against us really. We just have to move on. We won't win every day.
Today was a period of learning for us
and we were not happy with some of the decisions, but we have to move
on."
------------
Lets try not to panic too much, we had an off day, decisions didn't go our way, stuff like this happens.

Before the 2nd half collapse our passing was quite good. According to BBC we had an 88 passing success rate, that's better than all of our games last season.

I'd much rather the off day had happened in the middle of the season, though, not right at the very start
It's natural that people will be feeling uneasy, that was a poor result against a team we should really have walloped, especially when the likes Swansea and Fulham shook their opponents by the scruffs of the neck!

Do you think he's started counting the points to see where we are by tomorrow..?

We still has more possession than WBA but they carried more of a threat. That is something that needs to be addressed. I think Dempsey is a must.

Dalglish said very similar things in press conferences last year and the press masacred him for it. Interesting to see how long before they go for BR. Because sooner or later they will.

Kenny has gone. No need to keep comparing him to the new manager.
Can't you just sod off too?

Fred.
Shouldn't you be doing some colouring in or something?
You're clearly far too thick to read my comments objectively so why don't you filter me and then happily chat away to all the others who share your utter delusion.

I could care less about Swansea and Fulham. Last season Bolton won first match but got relegated anyways. There are 37 matches remaining so that is a lot of games to put points on the board. Btw we had a better start last season compared to Arsenal but still managed to finish behind them. Patience is all we need.

Barça lost their first match under Guardiola to newly promoted (and later relegated) Numancia.
Under Rijkaard, they struggled for the entire 1st half of his first season.
One match does not a season make.

Why is disagreeing with you and Aggers delusional. Just because the majority don't join in whining about the owners at every opportunity, doesn't mean we're walking around with our heads up our rses.
