Don't think I'm going to read them. The next book isn't coming out for at least another 3 years. I don't want to read something that'll get me hyped up for it. I'd be fiending for more if I read them now.

What happened with Sakho today? Left the ground or some shit?
Didn't think Rojo was great today, he got caught under quite a few balls. But he didn't make any glaring errors and it did seem like he was trying to direct the back line which is better than what the other jokers get up to.

He was left out of the squad so he went home to play FUT.
Makes sense.
Think I'll do the same.
Went home when he wasn't on the bench.
To be fair to him if I was him and someone suggested they'd rather rely on Kolo Toure as a defensive option I'd probably get the hump, too. Pretty ludicrous, actually. Feel for Sakho. We play a system that's suicidal for central defenders and stick a 34 year old ahead of him as protection and then blame him entirely when things look a little ropey. Anyone who's seen him for France will know he's an excellent defender.
Rodgers not taking more of the blame for our defensive failings is one of my main gripes with him. But when he's brilliant everywhere else it's hard to get that annoyed.
Right, on a separate note, I've just setup my accounts in Excel so I know exactly what's happening with my money every month. From taxes to hair cuts to pints. It's fucking barmy. And also majorly depressing. London livings costs are astronomical and the clear reason why my mates can by clothes and iPhones and I'm sat here wondering how I can reduce my grocery deficit.
Sakho & Squirtle. Oh, and you can start by cutting your hair innit. Shave it bald, Arn. Save your 15 quid.
Her vag is indeed disgusting. If I saw that after a date I would walk out.

Mate, real madrid made record 600m+ revenue last season, and it was all legit. Real madrid club officials said so.
Decided to play Fifa UT earlier and came up against some guy/girl who had an attack full of midgets. Every attack, they would just lob the ball forwards in hope of getting behind the defence, which at the moment, consists of Sakho and a bunch of randoms with no pace.
It pissed me off so I just held the ball and they quit. Proceeded to get my first hate msg lol
Also wanted to buy Coman but costs too much

It does get weird sometimes but I'm not surprised if Real makes some serious moolah out beyond the football field.
We'd love them to be a pure football club but it's not surprising if they really buy players for their selling power innit? Of course, those players still need to be CL material because winning titles is still the best way to get your brand out there.

That's cause BPL is the most physical league in the world innit

They have so much money through shirt sales that they could use it to buy Tottenham Hotspurs. Dat partnership.

Rumour has it Adidas have asked James to play badly so less people buy his shirts, they are running extremely low on stock.

I can see that being true.
There's no other reason he can underperform as he does now after all those fantastic WC displays.
They bought Spurs for 100 million euros last year
Is player management an area of concern for Rodgers? Just recently heard about Agger saying he was the reason he left Liverpool and Reina also had issues to I think.
aahahaahhahaahahahahaahahhahaahahh shit
Cheers for that.

I hardly get to comment on matches anymore, just end up going to bed straight after, which I guess helps me to keep a less emotional perspective when I do comment - unlike a few other Liverpool fans who appear to be losing their sanity after the recent performances (looking at you Hitch).
The Everton game was one you would normally just write off as "one of those games" if it didn't come on the back of disappointment. Liverpool largely controlled the game, stuttering in attack but not putting a foot wrong in defence. Jagielka scores what is probably the only long range strike he'll ever score and that's that. Frustrating, but it's gonna happen sometimes.
Player by player: Mignolet was fine, untested basically. Manquillo solid as ever, Sktrel and Lovren did well against an extremely tepid attack. Moreno probably MotM, handled Lukaku with ease whilst still getting forward a lot. Gerrard's goal somewhat covered up his deficiencies. Defensively he had little to do, and Everton rarely targeted him, so one would expect a lot more but in attack he was either giving the ball away or leaving it to Henderson. Henderson himself would be the other contender for Motm, ran the midfield. Stirling looked bright but not his best in terms of final balls. Lallana was very effective but like Stirling lacked the killer ball.
On Markovic, my one comment at half time I noted that he was playing poorly because he had a very difficult job to do tactically, and that Rodgers needed to change it up with him. Lo and behold, he switched positions in the second half and was suddenly a lot more productive. Unlucky to be taken off, I feel. However, a big positive from the match was how Coutinho appeared revitalised in his cameo.
As for Balotelli, I noted someone posted some "stats" to show how Balotelli did poorly. In actual fact, those stats were very impressive for a striker, but the key stat remains bad - goals scored. I think in a lot of areas Balotelli did very well yesterday - tracking back, picking out some intelligent passes and making some good tackles. But I wonder if the new responsibilities he is having to do are making it harder for him to concentrate on his attacking game. Regardless, he needs to learn how to contribute as a team member first, it's just unfortunate that Liverpool are relying on him as the main striker at the the same time.
Finally, the disappointment of the result was compounded by seeing the major top 4 rivals win once again - no, not United, Southampton. Some joked about them being top 4 contenders but they should have been genuine. Anyone who cares at all for stats, all of the models I follow have Southampton as the far greater threat than United (or Tottenham or Everton or someone).

Got backache can't sleep!
If you have backaches often try buying a foam roller and use it to do back stretches and to massage tight muscles. If mine is hurting at night I use it for about 5 mins and my back feels about 15 pounds lighter afterward.

Just lay on the floor for 10 minutes and put some voltoral gel on and it seems to be easing.
Fucking raking leaves in the garden that's done it.
Yeah. Another thing you can do right now without equipment is lay with your arms spread out and put your legs up on a chair at a 90 degree angle, like you're sitting down on with your back to the floor. Gravity will realign your hips and it'll ease your back a bit.
Can you tell I've been dealing with this shit for years? Fucking heavy squats were a terrible idea for a guy like me. :lol

Yeah, the stories about Bonucci and his 'mental coach' are amazing. But hey, seems to be working, somewhat. You know who doesn't need a pussy ass mental coach?
