Before that equalizer I imagine if a Bolton player had a one-on-one with Mignolet he'd still have veered to the corner flag.

What a ball by Can!

[glb]

[Sng]

Never in doubt.

Can is fast becoming a top player.

[glb]

All goals look amaze when the ball smacks the underside of the crossbar.

[Guest]

If anyone Can Coutinho Can Coutinho.

Wish Coutinho could shoot on target.

Indeed.

[christaylor]

So hot for Coutinho.

[Azrael]

Totally my plan to call Couts out for not being able to shoot on target knew it would result in him getting the winner and make me look the fool. The universe conspires against me like that.

[Takizawa]

Emile seems like a thoroughly decent bloke.

[gospvg]

Left it late but two good goals & now bring on the derby on Saturday.

I've seen the future and it's fucking amazing.

We're so close. So, so close. Rodgers has turned this around in spectacular and rapid fashion. I really didn't think he'd do it but he has. There's still a few holes to patch up but he looks up to the job.

[SMD]

I would rather bathe in a sea of shit than see Skrtel as a long term first teamer.

[Chewylegs]

The quite amazing thing is that Skrtel has been probably our best defender all season!

[SMD]

Great bants

[Kelthink]

Considering he's been quite the long term first teamer (and I'm fine with him continuing that on current form), top bants for sure

I, for one, disagree that spectacular fashion is drawing and losing to Chelsea plus barely scraping through cup games against lower league sides - and last night they were down to ten men.

[Guest]

Didn't Ince believe the hype that surrounded him?

Wherever could he have picked that trait up from? It is a mystery.

I had a little more faith than you I must admit, but still had some reservations.

It's great to see players looking comfortable out there again. Skrtel will still get a hard time because of how shaky he occasionally looks but anyone who thinks he hasn't been playing superbly during our good run hasn't been watching that closely. Having more accomplished players around him helps, but that's true of any centre back.

It's all gonna come crashing down now isn't it?

[Azrael]

Skrtel can be a bit of a liability at times, but overall I think he does a good job and the positives outweighs the negatives to his game.

Not sure what team we'll be playing at the weekend. Sturridge should be ready to start, we need Lucas back in and Gerrard will play as it'll be his last Merseyside derby. Who gets dropped from last nights starting 11 - other than Allen which is a given.

[Kelthink]

Also I eat my shorts as I'm sure Mig is doing stuff I was sure he'd never learn. He's looked far better recently, though maybe that's the defence being changed accordingly.

I didn't mean spectacular as in we've gone back to knocking goals past teams for fun. I meant it in the sense that we're playing sexy football, controlling games and looking solid. I really didn't think this was going to happen. Even so, we did outplay Chelsea - and let's not forget they've been the best team in England so far this season - over the two legs and got done over by some poor refereeing decisions in the process. The same thing happened last night.

[dogsout]

I would normally agree but he's been playing well since the switch to 3 at the back. I'm not saying he can't be improved upon. Maybe Brendan will sort Lovren out and he'll eventually take his place. In the mean time, his performances as a sweeper have justified his selection - which definitely couldn't have been said during his time in a back 4 this season.

Fair point. I just think we are still likely to turn out a poor result at any moment.

[Adrock]

Gerrard called on the club to get Henderson and sterling tied up.

The way it's going I think sterling leaving is a realistic proposition because there has been silence on the matter for a while after rumblings in the media of an imminent contract extension

[Stig]

Bah, Spurs are winning with only 2 mins to go. We could have really done with a draw in this game.

[Chewylegs]

As I'm confined to my home today, I was hoping for a decent stream for the game. Anyone?

[Oh Danny Boy]

Ibe is starting, thats a gutsy decision.

[bradigor]

That was spectacular from Ibe

[kiroquai]

Sahko really is Djimi Traore version 2, isn't he

[Oh Danny Boy]

Sakho has been solid for us in our upturn of form, still has lots to learn but is a world away from Djimi
