Sakho and Origi had differing displays for their first matches of the season

What to make of that result then?

It truth, it leaves as many questions as answers. Liverpool showed flashes of quality, inter-mingled with moments of near calamity. So, overall, it was pretty much the last 18 months in a microcosm.

On the plus side, Bordeaux will be one of the toughest places to go in the group, meaning we’ve got one of our hardest games out of the way and emerged with a respectable draw. Let’s be honest, would you have taken that result prior to the game? Most would.

There were a few promising performances too, most notably from one or two defensive players. On to the ratings..

    worrying to see in the last 20 mins coutunho , can , Ibe refused to chase the Bordeaux midfield runners, the youngsters tried but are either not good enough or not ready at this level ,. Looks like Rodgers can’t motivate the team. I would prefer we lost the game so that Rodgers departure comes sooner rather than later .

  • Bobby Donnelly says:

    Jordan Rossitter should do more of the former – not the latter?

    And as for David above – “I would prefer we lost the game”. What a supporter.

      If we had lost the game. Brendan would know we are not good enough.. the first two wins of the season.. Rodgers thought the team was good enough.. So we really need to be thrashed so Brendan knows he is dull

  • tola says:

    I really want Norwich to thrash liverpool on Sunday.. we should receive a 4-0 thrashing so Rodgers can get sacked as soon as possible.. very stupid man..

  • smith says:

    i will say the game was okay, cuz the boys tried. i never expected them to play the way they did, after i watched bordeaux’s last league match which they drew with PSG. definitely if the team does not improve rodgers will go out. but who will replace him that should be the main thing worry about.

      Gerrard should take over ! Its ridiculous the amount of credit a manger gets due to tactics, a lucky goal or two and suddenly his tactics are spot on. A managers tactics are 90% to do with the type of players he signs. If its a Sam Allerdyce then he wants big strong players to win ariel challenges, if its Wenger he wants technically gifted players who can pass with either foot under pressure. When Dalglish took over ( with no managerial experience) he did the double, why? because he had a great team motivated to win, we could have won the league without a manager in those days. Players can do 1000s of drills in training during the week but once they are on the pitch on matchday its a combination of ability, belief and motivation. If Rodgers was a half decent manager , we would have been champions 2 years ago. Our team was suddenly injected with frightening pace and lethal finishing. Suarez, Sturridge. Sterling, Coutinho Gerrard as quaterback, a half decent manager would have focused on replacing Allen, Johnson, Lucas and would have run away with the league. We need motivation big time, Gerrard will bring that, a player of his standard knows better than the manager of who can play and who cant

  • David says:

    Bobby , if you are happy with Rodgers then Good for you , you obviously don’t mind watching a painfully poor Liverpool team . How many games do you think Liverpool will lose this season ? None ? I think between 7-10 , and I would rather they come now and together in order for this idiot of a manager to get sacked rather than spread over a season and have the owners hesitating.

    • brandon says:

      7-10 loses is top 4 material judging the poor form of the other top 4 contenders we are doing all right Chelsea are 16th just remember that she you think Liverpool are doing bad. We had a couple of bad performances with vital players we lost coutinho in the west ham game and we didnt have hendo. Same in man Utd game only there we completely parked the bus which we shouldn’t have. If do what we did last night qe will beat Norwich Sunday. Rogers is not getting sacked untill at least Christmas.

      • David says:

        Add 7-10 draws to that and then do the maths . 6 games in and we have had a decent half against Man U , excuses need to stop

  • Liverpool forever says:

    Rodgers should be OUT
    1- 3 years >> average team
    2-300 million spent >> average team
    3-all back staff room changes >> still average team
    4-Stupid rooky manager with empty cabinet
