Yeah if sturridge plays saturday and the hodge calls him up theres pretty much no way rodgers can publically have a go at hodgson for calling him up, he would look foolish.

Ideally roy would look at the fixtures who are san fcuking marino and estonia, use his head and say, ill leave sturridge fully recover and rooney is suspended for 3 club games so i can use him for the 180 minutes as the main striker, hardly likely though.

According to Sky Sports Rodgers has told Hodgson that even if Sturridge is back for Liverpool this weekend he won't be fit for England. Success.

Unfortunately Hodgson can still call him up if he wants to though.

I really think Rodgers should just adopt the approach of Castro in the Simpsons, if he plays Sturridge at the weekend.

Roy - Sturridge wasn't at the fountain this morning with the other lads, where is he and can we have him back for England?

Brendan - Give who back?

You mean our new striker from Ballyfermot, Niall D. Strugglin??

Dickerty · 01-10-2014 10:11AM

U19s kick off at 2pm, I hope we go for it and play Canos & Sinclair together.
O'Hanlon & Kent out wide, Rossiter & Phillips in the middle.
Ojo, Chirivella, Wilson, Brannagan and Marsh give us plenty of attacking options, hope hopefully we are not chasing the game...

I thought he traveled with the team to the Basel game.

Rodgers doesn't have any say or veto over whether Hodgson calls Sturridge up or not. Even if Sturridge is injured and Rodgers/LFC publicly state he is injured Hodgson can still call him up and assess his fitness to play himself.

Rodgers saying Sturridge won't play for England next week is meaningless.

Harry Palmr · 01-10-2014 10:50AM

Not actually meaningless - it sends a clear message that Rodgers is unhappy with England and they'd do well to note that fact. Yes the FA can overrule a club but ultimately they need the co-operate of managers.

I've already said that.

Oooohhhh I'd say Hodson is $hitting himself. No please no, BR is upset and won't bless me with the radiance of those nice shiny teeth next time I meet him :rolleyes:

Why? What actual difference would it make to Hodgson if BR withdrew his co-operation? BTW, in what way are managers supposed to co-operate?

Lex Luthor · 01-10-2014 11:01AM

My 2c on the Mignolet attempted save
Whether he could have prevented it we will never know, but I do think he could have done a few things better to give himself the chance
He jumped from a standing position, he didnt shift left to move in the direction of the shot, if he had even taken one step to his left and dived while moving I think he would have got fingertips to it
I always coach my young keepers that if you see a ball going top corner, then you have to move the feet first before making your dive...it gives you more momentum and gets your body shape right for the dive
I just feel he didnt give himself the chance to get further across
A saying I use frequently in training sessions is "Quick hands are no good without quick feet"

The next time he was at Anfield watching a match, he'd have to sit in the poor seats and we know how much he hates that.

He was sitting with them in a pic that Enrique tweeted last night, but I dunno if the youth team were in the cheap seats of the same flight? Both teams playing in Basel today, but maybe with a few CMs injured, he might make the bench?
That would be great...

So what would you have BR do? Whether he'll be overruled or not, the chap is showing some backbone and doing his best to protect our star player.

Starting 11 for Basel U19s

R. Fulton/
D. Cleary/J. Maguire/A. O'Hanlon/T. Brewitt
S. Hart/O. Ojo/J. Rossiter/C. Brannagan/R. Kent
J. Sinclair

Clearly not in the squad for tonight then.

Subs A. Firth/Sergi Canós/H. Wilson/A. Phillips/Pedro Chirivella /C. Whelan/W. Marsh

Not sure about the positions...

R. Fulton
J. Maguire-D. Cleary-T. Brewitt-S. Hart
R.Kent-J. Rossiter-A. O'Hanlon-O.Ojo

C. Brannagan

J. Sinclair

Dunno though - Maguire, Hart and O'Hanlon are all flexible.
Very good side though. Kent seems to have overtaken Wilson for now, he's physically more advanced so can handle the step up.
2 Irish in there as well!

Harry Palmr · 01-10-2014 12:33PM

Looks about right though I'd go with 4-2-3-1 myself. No streams that I can see, so twitter it is then. Was just on the Leverkusen site - their game is being streamed for free, off to check if Basel fc are showing it.

Dickerty · 01-10-2014 12:45PM

Would like to see Phillips get some time. He's more an attacking playmaker than Rossiter, they should work very well together. I still see Rossiter a few steps ahead, but I wouldn't be surprised if Phillips got a lot of U21 starts this year (considering he's only 16!)

Harry Palmr · 01-10-2014 12:49PM

Is Jordan Lussey injured, seems like while since I saw him.

Dickerty · 01-10-2014 12:58PM

No idea, he's too old for this anyway, turns 20 next month. I predict a rest-of-season loan whenever he gets back, and I don't think we'll see him back. He's a good player, but if he was going to break through, he'd have done it by now...

Is the FC Basel Youth vs Liverpool Youth Game not being shown?
