That's the strongest team we have so hopefully it's right and they are all fit and ready to rumble.

Predicted lineup.
They were right last week.

I could have told you that! Maybe I should set up an ITK account on twitter just stating the obvious stuff. Sure some people would think I'm a demi-god!

After thumping Hull 5-1 it's hard to argue against that.

I would like us to try, even if it doesn't work, dropping Wijnaldum for Sturridge, moving Lallana into midfield and just going ****ing ape**** on someone. It'd be nice to see. It certainly wouldn't work against everyone but there'd be so many threats you'd be sure to bang a few in.

As were many other sources and sites.

Please share these many sources and sites? Every preview I saw except that twitter account had Lovren to start v Hull, they had Klavan correctly on the day before.

Here's some examples of previews including Lovren, I'd like to see the many sites you think didn't predict Lovren playing?

Lallana has already been playing in a 3 man midfield in case you hadn't noticed. So dropping Gini for Sturridge would mean FIrminho dropping back to midfield, not Lallana who has been playing there all season. Watch a game, you might figure it out. :P

In that case Coutinho would be more likely to drop back.

I still think it would be unbalanced, especially in an away game.

I didn't mean right now.

But some day. Just for madness' sake.

Looking at the Liverpool bench today and finally I think we have a squad. There are genuinely good players on the bench. Very happy with that.

It's not hypothetical. You said many sources and sites also got the Lovren news right. I shared my results of a quick Google that don't show that so I'm asking for the non-hypothetical links where these sites predicted he'd be out?

If you're saying now that they would have had it right but for the illness then that's fine, it shows the twitter account was either in the know or lucky. But you didn't say that, you said other media also predicted him out and you were able to predict it yourself.

This isn't hypothetical, either the many other sites had the prediction that he'd be out the day before the game same as the twitter page as you suggested, or they didn't, meaning the twitter account was unusually right and we don't yet know if it's luck or in the know

No I didn't see the websites with the line ups predicted but if you get a bunch of monkeys in a room together with a bunch of type writers eventually they will produce the works of Shakespeare was kinda my point. People use a source on twitter cos they "got it right" last week. I'm saying I could start guessing line ups too on a twitter alias and, like the monkeys, I will "get it right" occasionally and then follow me as a demi-god as a result. And no I never said I culd have predicted Lovren's illness, I said I could have predicted todays lineup, which I could have along with half the people on this site. Why does this matter so much to you anyway? I don't wanna be rude and ignore you but my original post that you took issue with was a throwaway, cynical comment about twitter, I did not mean to be still discussing it the next day. Most (if not all) twitter ITK's are BS, simples.

Borja was offside before that corner! :mad:

If a drunk man can't propose a 415 formation then we may as well just pack it in and go home.:p

Looks like the players have started like some fans attitude.

Will we ever get rid of it!!

This is a game for Can, a bit of steel
