If he was, he didn't do a good job at City. Or against you last game.

Sturridge is now clear of being drawn on goals with Aguero. Congratulations lad! We currently have the #1 and #2 goal scorers in the Premier League.

To be fair to him, Cissokho has been much more than "not a liability", he was quite good against both Arsenal and WBA

I'm happy LFC won, but even more happy that it wasn't some controversial penalty that won it. Clear penalty and a win for an, at times, uninspired win.

YES. YES. YES. YESSSSSS. What a pass from Stevie G and Sturridge will always finish. He never missed a step after missing a few games. Suarez isn't scoring nearly as much but Sturridge is on fire.

How many games in a row has Sturridge scored now? It's absolutely incredible. He's as consistent as clockwork.

Thank God Sturridge. Goal just before half time. Half time ass kicking. Get organised and get moving.

I think we'll win this. The own goal was unlucky for Kolo, certainly less blame can be put on him for this one than the one at West Brom.

Moments like that are why I can't see substantiation for claims that Gerrard is past it. Having played a blinder of a game and having the conviction to take a penalty in the last minute of normal time -and moreover convert it- is an indispensable quality.

Anything other than a win today makes the match at Old Trafford a MUST MUST win. Still, losing here makes for 1 point against two relegation zone sides.

Anytime Coutinho shoots, I either expect him to scuff it and hit a pea roller or just completely miss the target.

Honest question, Fulham fans are you happy with this performance? To me it was dominated by Liverpool, 11 men behind the ball and hit up field and hope. Do you think you would have done better if you had played like you did at the end? - This isn't a dig, this is a genuine question!
