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...

Why did this...

...start playing in my head at the thought of the two of them in defense?

Looks like it could be Skrtel and Kolo against Real Madrid.

Against QPR too but we might get away with it in that game.

5starpool · 09-10-2014 02:15PM

If Sakho was still injured who would be our next option now? Gerrard? Lloyd Jones?

If he is back Emre Can - plays for the German U21s at centre back a few times. But I think Kolo will get the gig regardless - QPR are shi'te and Real will win anyway.

At least if we play with those two, we wil play backs-to-the-wall stuff, which may suit us against such a pacy attack...

All four of our centre backs are shíte in a Liverpool shirt, it doesn't matter which combination play, it'll still be Keystone Cops-esque!

Agent Coulson · 09-10-2014 03:27PM

From a few days ago Sakho's injury is real :P

"back on the fields"?
Jaysus, we've lost another one to the farmers!

He is now, but I thought it was only a 2-3 week thing and he might be fit for Real?

I see they even have the players practicing there leaning, without any prop.

That's what happens when you play Gerard as a dm and allow both your full backs to get forward, any long ball country attack is basically a fifty fifty and when the defender eventually gets caught out he looks like the bad guy. Also none of of the pool defenders specialize in one V one situations besides the guy out on loan.

Personally I think the defense is getting a very raw deal.

Well then the buck stops with the manager for burying his head in the sand, we were shít defensively last season with Suarez and Sturridge getting us out of a mess on numerous occasions. We needed to be more solid at the back this season but it's the same shít just a different season.

Cartman78 · 09-10-2014 07:00PM

So you're saying the Buck stops with Rodgers??

A whack of the handbag should be enough to crock Costa. Good man Martin.

martyos121 · 09-10-2014 07:48PM

Sterling and Henderson off at HT for England.
Thats a good Roy....just do as Brendan says.

Agent Coulson · 09-10-2014 07:48PM

Taking 2 Liverpool players off at half time :eek::eek:

Rodgers won this round!

Lallana has done very well since he came on at HT.
Then again, they're only playing San Marino, it's like playing tennis with the net down.

Harry Palmr · 09-10-2014 08:35PM

Lallana did very well given the ridiculous lack of space in the area.

Or like playing chess with one using draughts rules, 'king me!'.

Can't really count this in, that game was shocking, real lack of effort and creativity.

Bowlardo · 09-10-2014 08:45PM

what channel is the england game on?

klose · 09-10-2014 08:47PM

Some win for skrtel captaining slovakia, spains first defeat in a qualifier in 8 years

Harry Palmr · 09-10-2014 08:48PM

guardian MbM

74 min: Spain are resorting to hoping for a mistake, but Slovakia’s defence, marshalled by Skrtel and Hubocan has been faultless, exactly the right level of aggression and tactical nous. Kozacik has also been excellent, coming now to claim a high cross from Jordi Alba.

Our Skrtel?

Spain are now officially crap. Del Bosque should have quit when the old guard starting moving on. Leave the rebuild to a fresh set of eyes.

DVDM93 · 09-10-2014 08:53PM

Skrtel bosses Costa as he captains his side to a historic 1-0 victory over Spain.

The Slovakian Skrtel
The French Sakho
The Southampton Lovren

It's beyond me how we haven't tried to sign any of these players given out problems at CB.
