Kenny was very poor with the media although he had the best intentions at heart.

I thought Kenny was great with the media. They asked stupid questions so gave them sarcastic replies & always defended the players. I don't like managers that act really friendly with the media tbh.

Just a pick point. All this talk of how well our defence and Toure did against Madrid, do you not think that having more protection in front via Lucas and Can was a major factor in it?

I dont think the cover was all that great against madrid tbh, our defense and toure still had a hell of alot to deal with in that game

I made the same point and agree. Lucas in particular offered a lot more cover.

If the players who were so called dropped against Madrid all walk straight back into the team for this Chelsea game how will that affect the team moral of the players who had good games against Madrid and are dropped straight away.

Milkers · 08-11-2014 11:41AM

Kenny was a real mixed bag with the media. At times his no-nonsense straight-talking style was badass, at other times he got cringily defensive.

klose · 08-11-2014 11:44AM

Oh ffs Lovren and Johnson stroll back into the team

rob316 · 08-11-2014 11:45AM

Poor selection rodgers atleast you kept can though.
The same tired formation again. What does lallana have to do to get a start?

klose · 08-11-2014 11:47AM

Markovic and Manquillo sitting in the stands, great.

At this point it's clear they weren't dropped.

They were rested as Rodgers intends on sticking with those players regardless of form. Very disappointing.

Slattsy · 08-11-2014 11:50AM

Rodgers showing his true colours. A one trick pony.

PropJoe10 · 08-11-2014 11:52AM

A really stupid team selection. Its about time Rodgers grew a pair of balls for himself.

Vicxas · 08-11-2014 11:52AM

Rodgers must be resting this definition of insanity theory....

Soft Falling Rain · 08-11-2014 11:53AM

Possibly the strongest team we could start bar Sturridge. Relax lads.

djPSB · 08-11-2014 11:53AM

The main reason I hope we win today is to shut our own fans the fcuk up.

The negativity before a ball is even kicked is shameful.

You're not doing it right.

You must portray your anger towards Rodgers and the players no matter what.

tok9 · 08-11-2014 11:56AM

In general, that's the team I was expecting.

Delighted Can is in ahead of Allen. Can't believe Johnson is still getting a game. Maybe there is an injury as Manquillo isn't even on the bench.

Manquillo was destroyed during the week by Marcelo.

Do you think Johnson and Lovren deserve to start?

SlickRic · 08-11-2014 11:58AM

Well we got our answer.

The Madrid game was ignored, and the same underperforming players are in.

I feel for Lucas, Toure and Borini.

I dont see how our strongest team is a team without Lallana...

I think destroyed is a bit of an exaggeration to be honest.

Some posters really showing themselves up the last few weeks.

I hope to God I am proven wrong, but what exactly has either Lovren or Johnson done to suggest that they are part of our best team? They have done nothing, other than be consistently bad.

Anyone read the Duncan Castles blog on Balotelli.

It seems we didn't buy him at all.

His agent bought out his contract and we took him on loan from his agent for the season with a view to signing him fully at the end of the season.

If it doesn't work out his agent is free to find him a club next summer and take the transfer fee for himself.

Interesting read.

Are you sayign we handed over 16 mil to an agent for a one-year loan? Find that hard to believe, even by Liverpool standards.

All not good enough. One game wont change that. The team picked, bar one or two, is our strongest team.

Brendan is obviously trying to force Borini to leave in January. There can be no other explanation.

The alternatives are at best on par.
