Top 4 is the absolute priority. Getting to the latter stages of Uefa Cup is good though. A win would be fantastic.

Won't get near top four this year no matter how much it is focussed on or labelled as the top priority...

What would you prioritise then?

I wouldn't prioritise either per say, although league finishing position is crucial if Rodgers wants to keep his job. I'd simply manage the squad like I said in my earlier post to try and do as well as possible in both competitions.

Des AND Roger?? Mother of God. I`m off. See ye later lads.

Yes I do, thanks. I used a different term because that was the suggestion being made, that he was almost giving away this result. I don't think "throwing in the towel" is a particularly poor choice of terminology.

As it happens, Des didn't respond to any of my other responses. Go figure.

Phoning in a performance means going through the motions. Throwing in the towel means giving up. Two different mentalities completely.

Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Raheem Sterling is in contention to make his first competitive start for Liverpool in tonight's Europa League clash with Hearts at Tynecastle.

The 17-year-old has notched up four substitute appearances for the Reds' senior side and impressed during the pre-season schedule.

Rodgers admitted: "There's a big possibility that Raheem will start. For a kid who is 17 years of age, he has been very good.

"Raheem is a player who has impressed me over the course of pre-season. He has got better and better every day.

"He understands his responsibility in the team and his team ethic is good. Plus when he gets the ball his quality has been excellent.

"Something I want to do over the years here is get young players with talent and personality into the group and into the team. He is certainly one who has shown up well."

As much as Cole is done, useless, overpaid etc. etc. which is all true. The fact of the matter is that Pacheco has been rejeced by 4 Liverpool Magers, the Athletico Madrid manager and by the Rayo Vallecano manager, I like the lad but at some stage people hve to bow to superior judgement.

That is not true as the player was injured for most of his loan period there and the Athletico part of the deal was part of a weird set up between the two clubs. Effectively Athletico paid for the loan but Rayo were to get the use of the player instead of money that was owed between the clubs. Then the player got injured and Rayo were stung.

My own take is that Pacheco is not good enough, but that he is a better player than a squad/bench space waster like Cole

Statement of the obvious there by BR really isn't it.

Sterling should of course be in contention after the pre season he's had.

He was asked a direct question about whether any of the young players would be in contention for the game, and Sterling's name was brought up. All Rodgers did was answer a very basic question with a stock answer.

But this Sterling, hes like Des' younger brother coming into the thread acting up on front of him trying to be cool.

You'd swear I'm being critical of the guy Kess, I'm pointing out that it's hardly a news worthy story - the dogs in the fúcking street know Sterling is the best youth prospect we have coming through atm

Your post read like it was being sarky about Rodgers for saying something so obvious. Now I know you did not mean it in that manner.

Alot of people dont watch preseason. Its typical tabloid fodder for the part time fan.

At last LuckyLloyd..I agree with you on something.

No chance. City / UTD / Chelsea are in a different league in terms of the squads they have & Arsenal & Spurs are looking more settled than us which means a lot across a season. Newcastle have great options up front and a serious force (Tiote) in midfield so we can't take finishing above them for granted. Different when we had a fully fit and explosive Gerrard & Torres combo to rely on and a fit and capable Carragher, those days are gone I'm afraid.

Ps...saw Tommy Smyth on ESPN last night for the first time. Wow...what a muppet, it's like someone let me granda watch the football in the pub for an afternoon and handed him a mic after a few pints. Sub-tabloid analysis.
