I'm not sure how this really works but apparently you are banned from playing any club games for up to 3 days before and after the internationals if called up and the Leicester game was 4 days after the Cameroon game.

The issue is during the ACON, games will clash within that 3 day rule. I think anyway, I may be way off here.

Ah ok thanks that makes sense. Could always get Steven Caulker on a sneaky January loan.

We have enough strikers mate

So Sturridge is the most superstitious player for some reason I'm not surprised

Milner is the prankster now that does surprise.

Wonder what sort of crazy antics Milner does get up to in the dressing room. Spiking the team drinks with ketamine? Putting thumbtacks in someone's boots? Swapping the shorts with ones which are a slightly darker shade of red?

Safe to say it's probably the last one.

Pretty sure it's hiding Sturridge's bibles.

Carra doing his best to hurt Mane the bastard.

martyos121 · 16-09-2016 07:02PM

Firmino out due to illness, huge loss.

Buford T. Justice XIX · 16-09-2016 07:03PM

I just came on here to say the same thing. No Firminho makes me a little worried about this game tbh, he really has been our most influential player for the past 12 months or so, certainly in terms of end product at least imo.

Groin strain, no?

I seem to remember the ACON isn't fully recognised by FIFA, or something like that, so that rule might not apply.

Or I might have just imagined this.

Is it? Shreeves said he was unwell so I assumed he was ill. Either way, it's only a short term thing because a groin strain heals quickly so he'll be back for next weekend at the latest.

Buford T. Justice XIX · 16-09-2016 07:12PM

Win this for Luis...

Pepp1989 · 16-09-2016 07:16PM

Is it just me or does this game feel huge. Bigger than a usual Chelsea Liverpool. I think it'll be a real marker of where we are at.

Agent Coulson · 16-09-2016 07:23PM

Firmino and Coutinho have been called up by Brazil for the next round of WC qualifiers

Hopefully illness rather than groin...groin can be quick, but can also be a ****in' nightmare. Missed 5 months myself before with a serious one.

One_Of_Shanks · 16-09-2016 07:37PM

Firminho would have started as the lone forward and usually we do well in big away games when he does so he's a big loss imo.
We usually flow better in games like this with him there.

Sturridge is a belting player, don't get me wrong, but I think Firminho is a blow to us.

Still, good team aside from that and lets hope Sturridge works his balls off like he did against Leicester coz he'll certainly need to.

Heart says we'll nick it, head says score draw. Feck the head! (oh Matron!)

Agent Coulson · 16-09-2016 07:55PM

I wonder who will do the running for Sturridge & Coutinho now that Firmino isn't there to do it for them.

Agent Coulson · 16-09-2016 08:16PM

This has the Burnley feeling to it have 70% possession and get caught on the counter.

jcsoulinger · 16-09-2016 08:19PM

Never heard such a subdued response to a goal from a commentator, bias much?

One_Of_Shanks · 16-09-2016 08:21PM

That was a very sexy finish by Lovren.

Any striker worth his salt would be proud of that one. Arm up asking for the pass, saw it coming, tucked it in.

Must have borrowed Sakho's stash for the night!

Agent Coulson · 16-09-2016 08:24PM

Matip turning into Hansen

Agent Coulson · 16-09-2016 08:37PM

So has Henderson do anything all game :P

charolais0153 · 16-09-2016 08:38PM

What a ****ing goal. Gerrard esque

One_Of_Shanks · 16-09-2016 08:39PM

Fcuk sake Sakho. Must have been passing them around like sweets! Coz Henderson doesnt do that too often either.

J Mysterio · 16-09-2016 08:39PM

Captain Fantastic.

Goal of the season.

Fowler87 · 16-09-2016 08:40PM

****ing unreal strike. Welcome back Hendo :cool:

J Mysterio · 16-09-2016 08:41PM

Both commentators on Sky Sports are sick!

Hahahahahahahhaha

Agent Coulson · 16-09-2016 08:45PM

The whole team telling Migs to calm down and slow down and hold onto the ball
