That's just the guy who's been sitting on the bench while Obertan has started 17 games.

Listening to the radio he seemed to be even shitter than his usual standard of shitness. No coincidence we've scored 4 goals in the last two games with him away from the pitch.

I believe you should look for what increases your chemistry most. All things being equal however the better player is simply the one with the higher stat. Don't think IFs have any special or hidden stats about them.

Van Persie is a muslim?

I fear there will always be an excuse not to start him. There's been almost every type of scenario, opposition, absentees for him to get a look in yet he hasn't. Pardew will probably start Shola and Best.

Of course not, no one would suggest otherwise and they should of course be allowed to get to the bottom of things. The way they went about it though is what is being criticised. They're the ones who made a mockery of the whole thing. If everything that has come from them (t shirts and all) since the 8 game ban was mentioned isn't "bringing the game into disrepute" then I don't know what is.

It's just infuriating. Really hope the FA don't go along with Liverpool's attitude of just wanting to put an end to the issue. Still can't believe the amount of bullshit and spin that has come from them over the last few weeks. It's like we've slipped in a different dimension. It's a fucked up world where everything said in that Times article isn't a unanimous opinion.

It's happened a couple of times now that I've had an achievement pop up in the top corner about a successful tackle with my player as CB only for the ref to then give a pelanty. Rather obscene. It shouldn't push the sim that far.

Dalglish's behaviour has been an embarrassment all season for Liverpool and that's even before taking into account his stance, comments and actions over the whole Suarez thing. Despicable, delusional, senile man.

Hardly "crack", given how well you keep tabs on everyone it's probably truer than I could even imagine.

Best deserved to get back into the team for how him and Ba linked up earlier in the season. He's been there on merit. However, he's now put in a couple of very poor performances in a system that is no longer as efficient as it was. Pardew has annoyingly stuck to it even though teams might have sussed it. See Swansea, WBA games and first half at Bolton. Just like fucking Obertan he now deserves to be dropped. Hopefully we'll see what we saw from the 60th minute at Bolton start against the Racists.

Obertan has had 18 games. How much more time does he need? There are fundamental flaws with the way he plays. Not only does he not produce much, he also has the annoying habit of slowing down our play to a halt. He doesn't really tailor his game to the runs of our forwards or players around him. He is adamant on having his 5-6 touches of the ball no matter what. Not a question of giving up hope completely just yet, but he's deserved to be dropped.
