I believe Newcastle may have turned the proverbial corner. That was a dull, dull game, but once again Pardew's substitutions come up good.

It must infuriate Gerrard that he's playing in a team which looks utterly disinterested.
Gerrard is finished. My LFC supporting mate even goes so far as to say he is holding Liverpool back. Rodgers is potentially on a hiding to nothing with him; if he continues to play him and the years show their toll, he should drop him, but if he drops him and the team falls far short of last season's achievements, which it almost certainly will having lost their number one goal machine, it will be his fault for dropping their inspirational leader. Gerrard should bow out gracefully of his own volition, and let them move on.

You have used words that portray negativity, whilst also mentioning LFC, you will no doubt pay the price shortly......................

Burn the witch!

Having watched the last couple of LFC games can't but agree. Happy with the draw we got there last weekend, but as for him being 'inspirational' - just don't see that now. May be just the new generation of players now sharing the pitch with him aren't as awe inspired. Time he moved on and retain the legendary status.
Much the same as I still believe Dean Windass should have retired after scoring the greatest goal in Hulls history (the one that took us to the top division for the first time) rather than trying to hang on for a season where he was sidelined and just not up to it.

I'm not totally convinced that Gerrard is finished. He's struggling but then so is the rest of the team. There's a lot of people currently on the pitch for Liverpool who are just not pulling their weight, Joe Allen being my prime target. Yes he does some good stuff but he drifts in and out of a game and we haven't got time for that. I'm yet to be convinced by Lallana, is a good player for Southampton (yes I know they are 2nd or something) going to win you the PL? Unlikely.

Back to Gerrard, when he retired from international football I said to OH that he should have one more season for Liverpool and then bow out gracefully. I'd be loathe to drop him because I just have a feeling that we're going to need his mental ability to change a game. He can lift the team in a way that I don't think any other Liverpool player can although we should be trying to get Henderson or Lovren to step up.

Balotelli just needs time. He also needs to sort his head out (swapping shirts???). We're not going to win the league this year but then we weren't going to win it last year. Last season was just a very pleasant aberration.

I'm actually surprised about this. He's had them in the top three for an annoyingly long time on a shoestring.

@MarkF - He's been part of Scotland's national set up for nearly a year, I don't think he needs to rush into a new club position. I hope he takes the time to come up with a new haircut though. I'm not normally one to criticise a chap's 'look', but what he's got is absolutely chronic.

Paging @PaulB... I don't think we need to wait until May to agree that Liverpool are a shambles.
No, you and your 'pilot fish' can agree amongst yourselves. Having been in this situ many times before, I don't think we need to wait until May to agree that Liverpool's heritage will ensure your wet dream will end dry.

And you seem to have rather a lot to write about football. A bit like the schoolboys who were just a bit TOO into the football, if you know what I mean.

I did wonder how long it would take you to pull the meaningless 'heritage' card. Do your memories from the 80s keep you happy when watching the clueless numpties on the park these days?

I'm afraid I don't understand your insinuation about schoolboys, but yes, I have many thoughts about football. Having played the game to a fairly high standard, I think that's allowed.
