I find it hard to believe that Borini will come into the team at the expense of Markovic or Lallana or Coutinho. Stranger things have happened but considering the money spent on the two former players, it would be very surprising to see Borini come in.

I'm going on our 3 league games to date, and funnily enough the impact Lambert has had when coming on for a front 2.
I'm guessing that Rogers would rather play with 2 up top but based on early evidence but I think tomorrow will be a big indicator of his plans for Borini. If Lambert gets in a front 2 tomorrow Borini might as well pack his bags.
If it was Balotelli that was injured I'd put the house on Lambert starting beside Sturridge but if we start with one up top, that would show the lack of faith in Borini for me.

First!

Wow, no post in over 8 hours, that's gotta be a record for the thread?

Really hope we hit the ground running this evening, build on the result against Spurs. I too would be surprised if Borini's ahead of Lambert but I guess we'll know soon enough...

That is quite busy for a Friday/Saturday, I think we need more bannings.

Gareth Bale inverview

I think the most important thing is you feel it’s the right move. If you feel you’re going to play, then I would encourage a British player to go abroad. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, the new culture, the new life. I felt like I wanted to challenge myself. It’s down to the player himself whether he can kick on.

If you look at Raheem Sterling, I think he’s shown what a good player he is. He’s starting to perform more consistently. If he keeps working hard and doing what he’s doing then he’s going to keep progressing and the sky is his limit

Real don't tend to sign black players, let alone anoint them one of their galacticos. Even the likes of Pepe and Marcelo are mixed race. Maybe something to do with their fascist heritage?

Spotted these gems in the club shop. How many do people want me to pick up for them? I'd say I could only carry 10 or so back with me so first come first served

That's fairly typical of the club store, place is generally a joke

I hope this isn't the calm before the (sh1t)storm later!

I'm feeling good about the game later. 2-0.

Mario and Hendo.

I really think Sterling should be rested today!! ( Wilshere is my No.1 sub on FF)

I'm sure Rodgers will keep that in mind when he's picking the team.

I hope so, it's for my greater good. ( unless Sterling scores a hat-trick!)

Even though early in the season, a draw is a good result for Liverpool in the Arsenal-City game.

Great game and great result. Now....to pass some time till 5:30.

rob316 · 13-09-2014 01:41PM

Good win later and we could climb to second. It's only day 4 but it's gunna be even tighter than last year, important to hang around the top.

Any result had an upside but I'm far from convinced we'll be in contention for the league. City and Chelsea look very strong.

Top 4 is our first port of call so I'd have slightly favoured Arsenal losing.

Still, based on what we've seen so far, I'm pretty confident that we'll finish ahead of them. Very lucky to knick a point today and I'd back a lot of the teams that are strong in midfield to be able to outfight them.

The only difference this season is that Sanchez has a bit of the sort of quality that can grab goals out of nothing. I'd imagine they'll still be bottom of that top 5 head to head table they showed before the game.

I'm not convinced we will be either, but the more clubs in contention that drop points the better.

Thanks to Turty and his box of Arsenal dolls and voodoo needles:)

Nah, I have Sterling in but anyway even if he's benched he will get on at some stage, so best just to start him.

Jesus Swansea look dangerous so far this season.

Apart from Shelvey, he still gets the red mist when it comes to tackles.

I think that just like Spurs and even Newcastle in the past, Swansea will go grand up to Christmas, but then fade after that as injuries take their toll on a fairly small squad. I'd like to see them do well, but as happened last year, Europa league is just too much for them.

They just got "tonked" 4-2!

As good as Chelsea are up front with Costa they are letting goals in. That's 5 in the last two games as I type.

Spurs look as dodgy as they did under previous management, Everton winning but only playing WBA who are looking like a shoe in for relegation.

klose · 13-09-2014 03:53PM

Interesting line up, we struggle against villa so hopefully we play well. Borni and lambert on the bench, suso in the doldrums.

martyos121 · 13-09-2014 03:59PM

Thank Christ Benteke is still injured. Twice he played at Anfield and twice he absolutely tore our defence to pieces.
