Fairly meh team, toure and sakho on the bench and neither will probably come in give a younger player a spot.

Allen and Sturridge for Lucas and Borini and thats our best team?

Agent Coulson

That team and bench really shows how light we are in CM with Allen and Can out we are left with Gerrard and Lucas to play alongside Henderson.

If anything happens Henderson we a fcuked in midfield.

Harry Palmr

No help today but Allen will be back next game I think, Coutinho probably plays better from deeper and there is Suso (or Rossiter )!

He's right about the bench, no need for two CBs.

Coutinho not on the bench. Must have picked up a knock. He's in poor form but you don't drop a player of his ability from the squad unless he's not fit.

“I am actually a Liverpool fan and Gerrard is someone I look up to massively."

Delle Alli

Has scored a hat-trick today for Milton Keynes, sign this kid up soon.

3 forwards and 3 defenders on the bench.

We have no fit madfielder to hold a place on the bench over Toure? None? At all???

Him and Will Hughes in January?

Karl Robinson has said "the kid kid stays in the (Dons) picture" Talk of it taking about 8 million to shift him now, probably be wise to see if he is still so hot come next summer.

Skrtel, Lucas and Gerrard that really scares the life out of me no pace and easily turned.

Skrtel is probably our quickest CB. He isnt slow.

He might be double that by then. Bayern Munich linked with him also.

He is easily turned and bullied.

I would say Sakho and Lovren are faster than him.

Lucas will just keep giving away frees and we are awful at defending set pieces and aerial threat so whenever he starts I'm usually pessimistic.

Even if that is the case, we know for sure that Rodgers does not rate Sakho as highly as Skrtel. Rightfully so.

Sakho has gotten far too much love for a guy who hasn't had one really good game for us.

martyos121

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time this season we aren't wearing the home kit. Unusual statistic.

BenEadir

Great to see Borini getting a start. If he gets 3-4 games before Xmas all the questions about whether he can be a valuable player for LFC will be answered. If yes, keeping him will have been an accidental bonus. If not, he'll hopefully accept he needs to move on.

3 points today and a goal a piece for Borini and Balo and I'll be a happy bunny.

This is the same Skrtel that Brendan Rodgers dropped because he got destroyed at Oldham and was ready to get him out of the club.

Fans have short memories most fans wanted rid of Skrtel then as well. The whole oh he has one good season one bad season thing

The one thing we know is Brendan Rodgers doesn't know how to coach defenders.

How do you know that Rodger's can't coach defenders, that's news to me.

And that's the only reason we're not winning trophies with him. Our coaching staff is laughable for a club looking to compete in Europe. Rodgers needs to forget the sentimentality and make some changes quick, because we need a solid defensive coach to really be able to challenge City, Chelsea and the European giants.

50 goals conceded last season, Starting his 3rd season as manager of Liverpool and our defence is shambolic and shows no sign of improving.

Thats is enough for me to show he doesn't know how to coach defenders to defend.

He should be sacked.

Its the logical conclusion to your argument.

Really explain how you came to that logical conclusion that he should be sacked from my posts!

I said he doesn't know how to coach defenders to defend.

Where in any of that can you come to logical conclusion that I said he should be sacked?

Hire a defence coach is the logical conclusion.

Last season was different personnel who were simply not good enough.

This year is different and I think the defence is yet to find it's feet. It will improve with time.

Also think the keeper causes problems and uncertainty in the defence as he doesn't do into the box.

hefferboi

Nervous for my man Borini!

Threw 20 bob on Balo and Eden hazard anytime double. Have a feeling about hazard and Borini will hopefully free up space for Balo.

Judging by rodgers pre match interview looks like skrtel and lovren will be his preferred partnership

Please dont let sky be right as in Lucas starting infront of Gerrard
