Congratulations on your win at Blackburn. Within the first 5 minutes I knew there would be only one winner in the match as the rovers could hardly string 2 passes together. I will admit I wanted you guys to lose as I want the simplest path to the cup but like United at Old Trafford we will play what is ahead of us. Wenger has managed is well in 2015 and I trust he will know what to do if we meet in the final.
Coming to the title of this article I feel a number of your fans(maybe the younger ones) are a bit too hard on Rodgers and the team. You have only lost 2 games in the league this year and the only real poor result was your loss to United which was largely as a result of a poor first half and poor discipline.
I have my doubts if you were ever going to win at the emirates even if you had come on the back of a win with all your players available. But for some fans to expect a team shorn of its best players against one with all its best players available at home was a touch unrealistic.
Even if Sterling had scored that early chance I still think arsenal would have come back and drew or won that game mainly because of the way you play is not suited to winning games when you are not controlling posession.
United and Chelsea can win in that kind of way but not your lot or maybe City. Once your midfielders failed to control the game there was only going to be one result. I felt Kolo was unfairly blamed as your midfielders were the weakest link on the day. Last night showed that kolo is still a more dominant defender when compared to Lovren and Rodgers made the right call. Our goals were mostly from outside your box, a fault of the midfielders not your defenders in my opinion. That day you badly missed Gerrard and Someone to help get hold of the midfield.
I am not convinced there is a big difference between yourselves, U.S. and United and you can add City to that list aswell. You simply need to hold on to your best players and hang on to Rodgers. As Southampton have shown this season that you can still achieve good results even if you don't spend huge amounts.
I hope we get revenge for that final your lot nicked of us.
Liverpool fans hard on themselves

I was talking about next summer. I also think Theo won't sign a new deal and will probably go to liverpool on a free.
I will be chuffed to have Sterling and Ox at the club. They are also good mates and if he wants to come to London I think he wants to come to us.
He might not even be a guaranteed starter but he will be a huge player for us in the future if we sign him.

Good article. Yes the club needs to keep hold of the best players and talk of Rodgers out is lunacy. Not heard much on ja606 thankfully.
A lot of people can't take the banter, and I feel pity for them!
What final we knicked off you? Solid win that was.

By the way I hope you allow us to sign Sterling. He is a very good player. Was impressed last night. He protects the ball very well and is a very hardworking player esp defensively. Great engine aswell and supremely gifted dribbler.
Will gladly give you Theo

Sterling was good last night.
He had two players on him every time he got the ball.
This left more space than we exploited.

Ah cool, yes next summer anything could happen, I'd like Theo at LFC but not at the expense of Sterling who for me will be a better player then Theo at the same age,.

mainly because of the way you play is not suited to winning games when you are not controlling posession.

Sterling's end product wasn't great last night but his energy, workrate and tactical awareness were very good.
Henley actually did very well defensively, I thought he was impressive, but Sterling kept plugging away.
His attitude is great, he never stops trying to make things happen and wears his opponents down more often than not.

Presumably because you don't like hearing the truth.
