Djourou is a centre back by trade so is vulnerable in the full back position plus Coquelin went missing for the second goal and when l am talking about midfield players who don't work hard enough l am talking about two in general and they are Rosicky and Arshavin and Arteta as good as he is is no Fabregas and Song is no Vieira.

Djourou sucks, agreed. I was surprised to see Coquelin in, I honestly thought Miquel would fill the position but he wasn't half bad. we can manage, we've been able to manage.

Rosicky and Arshavin.. forget it, their completely useless who need to be sold during this window.

Arteta is no Fab agreed and Song is no Paddy but it works. Ramsey is slow, not showing some of the class he has in his locker.

Rosicky has been much better this season.

Damien please man, don't tell me your serious. ye he's done ok but he's way too slow for Arsenal. He's aged while inurjied, its unfortunate but such is life at the highest level he needs to go.

Today has made my day, Sir Alex has proved to me that no player is bigger than the club.

I refer to Baby Wayne Rooney getting into a huff over being dropped for a lack of discipline, and quite rightly he was dropped and fined.

I have said this before that it takes a big manager to drop a player who thinks people owe him something. Well done Sir Alex.

Rooney needs to toe the line the money he is on.
He has accepted a fine of Â£250,000, no doubt accepted via his agent's advice.
I think Rooney assumes that the club need him, although he is a decent player, he is definitely not bigger than the club.

The celebration for the first Chelsea goal today was one of the most embarrassing things i've ever seen in football...

But it is quite a stain on it's history and the way it dealt with it...bearing in mind that Utd stayed quiet, whilst Liverpool were not...

Liverpool will not appeal against Luis Suarez's eight-match ban for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra, the club announced on Tuesday night.

The Uruguayan forward was handed the suspension by the Football Association on December 20, following a lengthy investigation, as well as being given a Â£40,000 fine, while the independent regulatory commission's 115-page report was released on New Year's Eve.

Having assessed the findings, Liverpool have notified the Football Association they will not contest the ban - which takes effect immediately, ruling him out of tonight's match against Manchester City

**Damien** · 03-01-2012, 18:45

Yeah. The FA report was pretty detailed and convincing. They made enough bad press with that stupid t-shirt stunt and the statement. I hope they issue an official apology to Evra over that.

Shadow Demon UK · 03-01-2012, 18:46

Brilliant. That makes the club, players and Dalglish in particular look even more stupid. I wonder if they regret the ridiculous statement they put out after the ban was announced? And the t-shirts...

You'd think that a global brand such as Liverpool FC would have issued a statement apologising for Suarez's behaviour, and taking culpability for not ensuring that their foreign players were aware of what is acceptable and unacceptable in the league they play in. They would have come out smelling better than they do!

From the wording of their statement, they are not going to be doing that...

I just watched Gareth Barry give the ball away in two consecutive passes...England international?
