Martin Skrtel has committed his future to Liverpool by signing a new long-term contract - and immediately declared his ambition to become an Anfield legend.

He then told Liverpoolfc.com that signing a new deal at Anfield was his first priority this summer.

I think it's a combination of a few things. One of them is that they always try to make things happen rather than playing it simple. This is born out of expectation though, not just from the fans but from the other players. So often for Liverpool last year when Gerrard played, the players would pass it to him in the hope he'd do something spectacular, no sometimes he did such as against Everton, but other times there were better options.

I think the only player who didn't seem to do this was Suarez who was confident in his own ability, it's why I think Suarez and Gerrard work together so well, neither is relying on the other, they can use each other and seem quite in tune.

Not going to be able to watch the match tonight, but think a win should really be expected, especially after the awful game at the weekend. Gerrard, Suarez, Skrtel and Johnson have all been rested. No Joe Cole or Enrique either.

Would like to see this line up:

Reina

Kelly
Coates
Carragher
Agger

Shelvey
Allen
Henderson

Downing
Carroll
Sterling

I wouldn't start Lucas who will be crucial if we want a good result against City at the weekend. Borini also rested.

It gives us a bit of impact off the bench if things do go pear shaped though with Lucas, Adam, Borini all ready to come on.

I can't watch it tomorrow is what I meant, I could watch it if it was tonight!

The squad is:

Reina, Jones, Kelly, Agger, Carragher, Coates, Flanagan, Shelvey, Lucas, Adam, Allen, Henderson, Spearing, Downing, Borini, Carroll, Wilson, Robinson, Sterling, Eccleston

so I'd be surprised if Carroll doesn't play at all.

I suppose it wouldn't be completely out of the world to see him left out.

I think Agger should definitely play, but thinking about it, one of Carragher/Coates, whoever Rodgers plans to start against City should start on the bench for this game. Have Wilson and the one who won't start against City as the centre back pairing.

Not sure what to make of Rodgers latest comments regarding Carroll , after he labelled Newcastles bid ' a liberty ' . He said he would be foolish to let Andy go at this late in the window . So does that mean he's staying at least until january or is it a way of upping the bid ?

Rodgers did say he needs at least 3 experienced strikers .

"Rodgers did say he needs at least 3 experienced strikers "

I'd pick one good one over three experienced ones every day ofthe week. Heskey is experienced, as is Darren Bent but I wouldn't hang the bunting out of he signed either of them.

Dempsey might chip in a few goals but we need a guaranteed 20+ goals a season striker and there doesn't appear to be too many of them available at the minute. However, I'm hoping Carroll grabs a hatful tonight although I have a feeling Rodgers may trot out the "Hearts weren't the best of opposition" excuse.

Does anyone know if Carroll got drunk one night and verbally abused Brendan's wife at a function. The dislike he seems to have for the lad seems out of proportion with the amount of time they have spent together since Rodgers took over.

Patchy first half but after a pretty even first 20 minutes we started to get a grip of the game. No outstanding performances thus far but Raheem Stirling has looked quite handy. Oh and Borini hit a post but that's all he's done to be honest.

Would like to see us come out firing in the second half and get an early goal and go on to win comfortably. A bit more urgency is needed.

I still feel Rodgers will not see the end of the season in the dugout, I as a Watford fan can say that anyone who has managed at Watford has not had any success in bigger clubs. This may come as an eye opener to some of you reds but hey, someone's got to tell you the tooth fairy dosent exist.

Thanks for sarcastic warning sambo but alot of reds probably share your view anyway, even the ones that believe in the tooth fairy.

I'm not that hung up on Rodgers but lets see what happens first. Hopefully we'll both be wrong.

Ever heard of Graham Taylor? He didn't do too shabby a job at Villa did he?

Thanks for being the "someone" to tell us though. Now go and join the other 100 thousand that are singing that very tune!

Surprised some fans think Rodgers should have turned us round by now. Change of manager has brought in and entirely different mind set and tactics. The guy deserves time but some fans just want to see people fail.

Just a joke you guys stay cool. And yes Graham Taylor is the exception despite his days as England coach but we wont get into that. But I still feel Rodgers will be sacked in the summer or even this season but you never know, it could be a premiership title for the reds Wink bottom line, no one knows the future so enjoy the present and dont wollow over the past.

Well first time teams tend to have better fortunes their first seasons when they're still on a high etc. We'll never know how Rodgers would've done with Swansea this year.

martinez keeping Wigan in the PL is a massive achievement just to do it once.

There is something fishy around Martinez, because he came out and said he chose to stay at Wigan rather than move on. To me that seems as if he is happy in his comfort zone, and isnt willing to leave it

Maybe Martinez feels if he keeps them up he can get a job at a club on the up. Wouldn't really blame him if he felt Liverpool were somewhat of a sinking ship.

Sorry but to me it shows a complete lacks of balls from Martinez, that he isn't afraid to step up and take on a bigger harder job. As much as I wish Lambert had stayed, and Swansea fans wished Rodgers had stayed, I do admire them for taking the opportunity when it did arise, and put there careers on the line

Martinez is building a nice little team at Wigan although I do expect them to be around the bottom again, more to do with their squad depth as I feel their starting 11 is actually decent.

I think with Rodgers at Liverpool, realistically if he wants them to play the way he did at Swansea, he'd have to buy perhaps another couple of winger and a couple of cm's. I think tonight was a good example, as I don't feel Henderson/Shelvery (Although he's young) and Spearing are not technically good enough to play his style of football.

Sometimes you only get one opportunity. If I was a manager/footballer and I got the chance to prove myself at a higher level I would take it straight away because you never know if it would come around again. Who is to say Martinez will get another chance to manage a bigger club than Wigan?

Sometimes you do only get 1 shot. Pretty negative viewpoint of yourself though if you can't back yourself to get another.

Keep Wigan up and maybe a Fulham or Everton come calling. Taking a job you don't really want will do you more harm than good.

I know you guys want to converse among yourselves as liverpool fans but the Liverpool job is like the England job or the New Zealand job in rugby or the (I don't think you guys are GAA fans or Irish but anyway) Dublin job. It's a job where the good coaches just arent good enough, no one is good enough, they can never find someone to stay there for ages. In saying this you guys have to realise that because Liverpool falls into this category, you will forever be bouncing around with coaches until maybe one day you might get a guy wh can win you the premiership but eventually he just wont be good enough for Liverpool. Its a vicious game, and even more so for the fans.

Liverpool and Villa were on the slide for more reasons than just managers.

Villa were drastically reducing the wage bill and selling off their best players.

Liverpool blew most their cash assembling an average squad

I agree GSC, unfortunately success under O'neil was costly although its a shame he left as he was doing a fantastic job there.

Kenny Dagleish had a great chance to buy decent players, but for me highlighted why he just wasn't up to it in the transfer market. You look at Laudrop and see he spent jst 2m on a guy who was the top scoring midfielder in la liga last season.

Dagleish, spent almost 20m on Henderson, a guy who looked ok for Sunderland but imo never looked like he had the quality to become a top class cm, and nothing's changed my mind since. Carroll had a decent start for newcastle and yet they blew 35m on him. I mean, think of the strikers they could have got for that money, the list is endless, all imo who either would have been cheaper than 35m or would have been at least worth it. He persued Adam who was average at best, but stood out in a very weak side.

I think Rodger's unfortunately needs to probably bring in another 4/5 players, and imo should go to la liga for the technically better players who will fit perfectly into the way he wants to play football. The clubs there are so fincially cash strapped that they have no choice but to sell their best players. Its a great opportunity, one being utilised by Laudrop and one that could be used at Liverpool.

I think the problem is how negative this summer has been, Rodgers hasn't brought in the same air of optimism that Kenny did.

I do find myself supporting Carroll over Rodgers, Andy Carroll clearly wants to stay at the club and is detirmined to prove himself, Rodgers turned down the advances of the club two times which suggests his heart might not be in it. Carroll is an excellent player and I think Rodgers is jumping the gun completely.

At the start of the season I'd have said the main problems with the team were...

A lack of wingers (not solved)
A lack of source of goals (half solved maybe. If Carroll is sold, situation made worse, Borini needs to chip in with a few for this to be considered a success)

As much as I'd like to feel positive, the problems last year were that the team played lovely passing football but just didn't hit the net or failed to turn it into results, I don't think Rodgers is pragmatic enough to change that.

I think we'll be the better side but just miss out, probably a late goal. 2-1.

I hope/think we'll line up like this:

-----------Suarez----------

Borini-----------------Downing

------Gerrard----Allen---------

--------------Lucas---------------

Enrique---Skrtel---Coates----Johnson

---------------Reina----------------------

Would rather Rodgers has faith in Coates than sticks with Carragher who hasn't played a good game for probably a year now.

Rumours growing that Carroll will be sold and Sturridge brought in, I'd be really disappointed in that deal. I don't rate Sturridge at all, and for all the talent he brings he is the most greedy, selfish and blinkered player I have ever watched.

Totally agree with you there Crimey. For me Sturridge is not what you guys need, and I really dont understand why you are selling Carroll.

Also Dempsey seems to be a target for Sunderland as well

I've updated the main page.

I'm not that bothered if we miss out on Dempsey, as good as I think he is. I'm not sure where he'd fit into the system now. I'd rather Rodgers focuses on signing at least one more winger.

He clearly doesn't have a lot of confidence in Downing and we cannot rely on Sterling...the less said about Joe Cole the better.

Where is the Assaidi transfer then Erm

I can see us getting Sturridge on deadline day.
