wtf - Herrera not starting again, that's just shockingly bad choice
Van Gaal doesn't like Herrera and wasn't one of his signings. It was expected.

I think a lot of Liverpool fans insisted the lack of europe made little difference next year and it wouldn't hurt them much this year, they were wrong.

He'll be under severe pressure this year, but Liverpool are currently doing a bit of a Newcastle, not the same injury crisis but, smaller squad, relatively recently put together doing way better one year with no other competitions to distract and everyone in good form. Next year you have Europe, a key injury(Newcastle had many more though), but the players are more tired, without the key player they aren't scoring goals, everyone loses some form, the team just can't put together any form.
Added travel and games for a relatively small squad with key players not there and a side will be almost completely different.

Again there is a situation where in particular Liverpool's "ultra tempo start" tactic is again hurt even more by extra games and more tired players.
maybe still a bit knackered from his broken rib?
Remember that RVP could play but really shouldn't have and you ended up losing him for several extra months. Being on the bench in a squad that is severely injury hit is one thing, starting him and risking him longer term is another. I suspect he's basically an emergency option who they want to protect as long as possible till he's actually ready to start games.
He might not be on the bench at all if other players were fit. being on the bench, or even starting doesn't automatically mean they are completely fit or injury free.

He has been on the bench for the last two or three games so Im not sure why really.
He would be (much) better choice to start than Fellaini
We were **** before we stepped foot in a European game.
So that's 3 lost in a row for Livepool
Well rodgers should be given till the end of the season and then the club has to make a decision. The transfers this year have been meh. Moreno being the only real gem we got out of the lot.
I think Rogers is losing the plot, honestly can't figure him out anymore. I want him to sort this out so much, I'm sick of changing managers, but he's just so ******* stubborn The team today also confirmed that he threw in the towel at RM (if anyone had any doubt.)
Chelsea's John Terry, speaking to BT Sport: "They probably had the better of the first half but the second half we were in control and never looked like losing, which is the difficulty at Anfield.
If only Rodgers knew more than one simple tactic
Moreno/Manquillo/Can/Lallana all looked fine to me
Lovern is awful. Can't believe Rodgers fell into that transfer especially blowing £20m on him. Lambert should never have been purchased. Markovic has great potential and I saw him play numerous times last year and thought he will do well but Rodgers seems to think he is too good to play in the league.
