You're talking ****.

Even if the Lucas thing were true (it's not), you're wanting the same retarded logic that you disagree with to apply to Sturridge, despite the fact you know it's retarded, just so you can all uber positive. Cringe worthy.

The Lucas thing is very true unfortunately. When he was out injured he went from a very good player to the love child of Roy Keane and Makelele.

I don't want anything to agree with me, I'm stating a fact.

You and Rodgers are a match made in heaven. Blind delusion.

While I love the idea of no Skrtel, I just don't think Gomez is ready to be first choice yet, also I hope to never see Can in defence for us again.

Firmino needs to be played up front or behind a striker, he isn't a winger, neither is Sturridge. A front 2 of Benteke and Sturridge with Coutinho behind could be devastating.

I would like to see Coutinho dropped into the middle with Firmino at the tip of the diamond alongside Henderson and Milner(when all fit obviously). The energy of the 2 English lads would just allow Coutinho to roam wherever he wanted.

This makes sense and I'd like to at least see it tried for a few games. I doubt we will tho.

We need Joe Allen back. There. I said it.

That says more about our recruitment policy than Joe Allen.

Got out an old Delia Smith book and made a Delia breakfast for the day that's in it.

Yeah it probably does but that can't be changed at the minute. For all the abuse he gets I think we look a better team when he plays.

Anything would be better than the skitther we've served up so far this season.

I'm going to have my usual Sunday breakfast of boiled egg & soldiers.

Constantly a better team when he is in it. I'm sure if he was Spanish and signed by an ex manager he wouldn't be slated at all. A much better option than Can at the moment.

Suarez used to cook up a lovely Ruddy on toast but he's gone so who knows what we'll get.

My worry is that we dont have many wide options. Ibe is our only real option. Firmino wants to play Coutinhos role (maybe a little further forward. Sturridge wants Bentekes role and Milner and Hendo want the same role.

We have too many players who play the same positions.

I choose Moreno and Clyne (as oppose to throwing in Gomez who has been very good) as they can both get forward and add width. It is a concern though

Moreno has to play if it's a diamond. I think Hendo could be turned into a very good dm for that system. He has a good range of passing and has great athleticism something all our dms have lacked since mascherano. It's a shame he is injured.

If we play with a diamond and it's not Moreno at left back then there would be something seriously wrong. Gomez has the potential to be great but not as a marauding full back.

I would love to see a midfield 4 of

----Henderson----

Milner----Coutinho

---

Firmino----

That would be my preffered 4 also. However I'm assuming firmino is the player he is supposed to be as I have seen nothing to get excited about from him to date.

You won't get excited about him being played as a wing back anyway

He needs to play behind a striker and that's when you'll get the best out of him. Anything else (bar as a second striker) is a waste of time.

Firmino as a central midfielder? Really?

If he is fit, he is behind only Aguero and Costa as the best striker in the league. Usually when a Liverpool player is out injured for a substantial period of time they become a reincarnation of the greatest players of all time, see Lucas as an example. It's strange to see the same thing not applied to Sturridge.

Haven't you just done that?

No, I have stated that he is behind Aguero and Costa as the best striker in the league. If I was over rating him I would be comparing him to Messi and Ronaldo.

I'd say whatever it is it will have been all thrown into a pot and mixed together with the hope something good will come from it.

Downing would probably provide more threat than Ibe.

I've been supporting Liverpool FC since around 1980, have seen the best of times and the worst of times and all the years of meh times in between. I've come close to quitting the Reds over the years but have never actually been able to do it. It's in the blood or something, and can't be stopped. After the Utd game I was very peed off. I told myself that I would not watch them again till Rodgers is gone. That's not an empty threat either. Even up until yesterday I had no plans on watching the game today. Was going to go fishing instead. But waking up to a rainy day has changed all that. It's a day for the couch and what do we watch on rainy days? Liverpool FC hopefully kicking ass!

I can't not watch Liverpool play. As bad as we can be, it's damn near impossible not to watch them. It's a home game against Norwich. We should (?) be winning this one. If Rodgers plays norvel I will probably cry a little more inside. But I will still watch them. If we win I will be happy for a while and if we lose I will probably vent some of my frustration on this thread.

Jesus Wept

It's not a good sign for the manager when I stop being arsed watching us play, it signals the end is nigh for them.

4-1
Liverpool

West Ham was a poor day at the office.

Man Utd could happen any year.

10 points after 6 games, you would have took that at the start of the year.

Sturridge starts today according to Sky. Carra's immediate response: 'Managers under pressure. The BR of 2013 wouldn't have done this'.

5starpool

Hopefully if he is playing, Sturridge won't be as rusty and off the pace as he was last year, but it may well be inevitable given how long he was out.

B17G

Just worried with his injury history. Despair if he breaks down again what with Hendo earlier in the week.

Agent Coulson

A very good read this is the last few paragraphs.

Also in it FSG wanted Gerrard to shadow Rodgers and learn from him.

For all the disquiet, though, Gordon and Ayre remain convinced by Rodgers and provided their word continues to hold sway, he will not be sacked. The message going back to America from Chapel Street is one of hope, that everything will be fine as soon as Henderson, Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho return from injury and suspension.

Should Gordon and Ayre be overruled, however, insiders say it is unlikely to FSG will turn to the manager who many regard as being a natural Liverpool manager, Jürgen Klopp. At Borussia Dortmund the charismatic Klopp enjoyed a wonderful relationship with the club’s passionate support and brought them remarkable success.

Klopp resigned at the end of last season to tumultuous acclaim and is said to be keen to work in England. However, it seems that Fenway have been warned against hiring the German, presumably by someone with first-hand practice of working with him.

From Rodgers’ point of view, that bit of advice might be very good news indeed.
