Something for the laydeeze

The Liverpool Ladies (really ought that not be women in this day and age?) played and won their first UEFA Women's Champions League game against Swedish (therefore very good) side Linkopings 2-1. They also play their final WCL game at the weekend, they could win the title again but need to win and add a few goals to the difference while two other sides need to lose and not win respectively. So a tall order but it could happen.

Did he not say it was a Charlie Chaplin moustache?

Not saying its clever but the Hitler association is yours... and sure it was Adolf that copied good old Charlie as he was so popular at the time

Yep - he used to watch all Chaplin's movies, was a huge fan, until he made The Great Dictator, which is alleged to have broken Hitler's heart. Which is nice.

Anyway, it's clearly not a Hitler thing, no one is THAT dumb...

I don't know with Johnson playing hardball on a new contract and Manquillo still not up pace an experienced RB is needed.

I'm hopeful for manquillo. But I'll be glad to see the back of Johnson.

Osmosis Jones · 09-10-2014 09:14AM

Seems Lovren has been injured training with Croatia, won't play a part in the international games. Not sure how long he's out for.

Augmerson · 09-10-2014 09:20AM

Lovren injured? Ughhhhhh

Manquillo is only 19 so i would expect Johnson back after the break. Manquillo will still get cup and maybe league games after the CL but i wouldn't be in favour of burning him out before christmas, like Insua.

Don't see us being any worse without Lovren tbh if he's injured he's made so little impact thus far. Not saying it's a good thing he's injured obviously.

OwaynOTT · 09-10-2014 10:25AM

Is Sakho injured too?

"Brendan Rodgers keeps in touch when he can because he's a busy man," he told reporters.

"Sometimes he sends me some messages and sometimes people from Liverpool come and visit me in Lille. It's good to know they are following my progress.

"Things are going well but there's still some room for improvement. I'm still working hard trying to prepare myself for a higher level. I'm feeling good and ready to continue this form."

Skrtel & Toure as starting CB's would scare me alot to be honest.

Edit; Is this the moment Gerrard drops back into a CB role?! :eek:

I think the aim is to make the defence better, not worse so I doubt that will happen.

I really love how the club has approached the Origi situation - loaning him back to Lille was a very good idea. He can continue his progression within the same environment that brought him to prominence.

To me it's a bit like in Game of Thrones how everyone is butchering the **** out of each other in Westeros and all the while yer wan with the Dragons is slowly but surely making her approach, and when she finally does land, you know she is going to **** **** up. Origi will hopefully **** defences up left right and center.

Augmerson · 09-10-2014 12:23PM

Was looking at the fixture list for the league and apart from the Chelsea game, we have some very winnable games - providing we get our **** together.

QPR
Hull
Newcastle
Chelsea
Crystal Palace
Stoke
Leicester
Sunderland
Man U
Arsenal
Burnley (Day after Christmas)

Yes, that's EXACTLY what it's like

... although she is better on the eye imo.

Alot of very losable games too!

Sturridge back will definitely help but if he has was to pick up another injury I think we'd struggle in most of those games tbh

I'd take 25 points from those games thats 25 fromm 33 ontop of the 11 we have now would put us on 36 points from 18 games.

2ppg per game gets us top 4 I would say.

Of course that is with us having a fully fit squad.

Augmerson · 09-10-2014 12:46PM

QPR away
(3 days later we play...)
Real Madrid Home (Champ League)
Hull Home
Swansea Home (League Cup)
Newcastle Away
(3 days later we play...)
Real Madrid Away (Champ League)
(4 days later we play)
Chelsea Home
Crystal Palace Away
(3 days later we play)
Ludogogrets Away (Champ League)
(3 days later we play)
Stoke Home
Leicester Away
Sunderland Home
(3 days we play)
FC Basel Home (Champ League)
(4 days later play)
Man Utd Away
Arsenal Home
Burnley Away

Going to say we should just play the fringe or youths against Swansea. You know when you factor in the CL turnaround, it's pretty tight. It's vital we take a point at least off Real Madrid and beat Ludo and beat Basel and hope that Ludo take points off Basel if we are to get 2nd in that group.

Demosthenese · 09-10-2014 12:52PM

One thing that jumps out looking at those fixtures is that it's pretty obvious that Gerard cannot play in every game that we have (League Cup aside) - if BR wants to rest Sterling at times already early in the season then Gerard needs to have an able replacement lined up and fast. It comes down to whether you want to have him for CL games or not ... i'd imagine he'll be bursting a gut to play Madrid for sure but we are sure to suffer then against premier league opposition ...

We'll need this bigger better squad we've built to start firing on all cylinders ASAP cos that's some fixture list!

You mean the one whom after 4 seasons is still wandering around looking for some boats for her Army? She doesn't exactly fill me with confidence to be honest, how long does it take to find some boats?

I was thinking how we could recall Coates or ilori if there's a bit of a centre back emergency but then I remembered both of them are injured too

Assuming neither Sakho or Lovren are back fit in time, it's Skrtel and Touré with Lloyd Jones on the bench. Which should be fine, two very experienced players...
