    Most worthless cause to give your legs for, since Vietnam.

    It will be interesting to see how good they make Sterling. He was 79 in the last game but has come on so much since then. Sturridge should certainly be in the top 50 - pretty disappointing. Not that it matters, obviously. :pac:

    I'd find it hard to name 50 players better than Sterling.

    Can we please skip the impending back-and-forth about Sterling's ability, the listing of superior players and the debate about the definition of 'world class'?

    The leaked ratings that came out last month by people who played the game said sterling was only. Obviously the ratings in that arent final but it wouldnt surprise me if they were considering Sturridge isnt in the top 50 so we have no players over 84. Drogba is 83, one point behind Sturridge which is laughable. The ratings are a joke.

    I don't know, it's all over the news that Sterling has dropped because of Scotland concerns so I'm totally confused.

    Confirmed Hendo starts.

    It'll be the equivalent of watching your child run around the room with a head-height coffee table sticking out at an angle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,199 ✭✭✭✭Utopia Parkway


    Hope Henderson is actually OK and this isn't Hodgson pushing him out there regardless.

    The version of that gif where Woy turns into Rafa is quite epic.

    If henderson gets injured tonight theres gonna be a serious amount of hatred heading hodgsons way. Itd probably be unfair criticism in the sense that if it was another manager in charge, say capello or erikson, the level of hatred wouldnt be nearly the same. But it really is infuriating how his decisions still impact on liverpools fortunes, albeit in a far slighter way than they used to. If it wasnt for the idiotic comments itd be more bearable, but the thing he said about wanting to test sturridges resolve as his reason for playing him through injury in a meaningless friendly has really dug his grave for reactions from liverpool fans when uses or misuses their players.

    With a scalding cup of tea perched just on the edge.

    It's gone beyond a joke at this stage. Either Woy is genuinely vindictive towards this football club, or else he's even more grossly incompetent than even we thought he could be.

    I takethe rumor that D Studge D being out for 4 months is complete horsey doo doo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,182 ✭✭✭✭rob316


    Nice assist for sterling.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,301 ✭✭✭✭klose


    Sterling has had a poor enough game but hes still probably been englands most creative player.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,901 ✭✭✭Raif Severance


    Why does Hodgson plays Wilshire as a Holding Midfielder?

    I mean, if he wants someone Young, then why not just get Everton's McCarthy, who can actually play that Role?

    He is actually Scottish!

    Just had a look at Wiki, and you're actually right.

    So how did it happen, Irish Granparent/s?

    Irish parents I think. Are you not Irish? Genuine question, I don't care either way, but as someone who was Irish and a football fan I'd have thought that was basic knowledge.

    I don't know why but as a long-time lurker on this thread that fact just blew my mind.
