No Can, no Moreno but Gerrard and Johnson get to stink the place out again. We might just sneak this but only because Ludogarets are the worst team in the competition.

Not too optimistic about tonight. Sterling apart very little pace in the team.

Very little of anything in the team at the moment!

Christ that's an awful team

Gerrard could be up higher up the pitch though, with Sterling wide.

I'm willing to give that a chance. At least it's something different.

Worst team in the competition. ... so a 3 -1 defeat for us then

That team selection makes me genuinely angry.

Base on Merit, my A$$!

If Moreno isn't injured, Rodgers should be sacked before kick off.

What formation is that? The diamond with Sterling and Lambert up top I suppose?

26-11-2014 06:43PM

Lucas is back and Toure, two players people have been shouting for. There'll always be someone ready to moan.

Gerrard is hopefully playing at the tip of a diamond?

Because he's so been brilliant this season?

Constantly caught out of position

tok9 · 26-11-2014 06:44PM

That's a better team then we've had out in the pitch in a while!

DaveSuarez · 26-11-2014 06:46PM

How does he not start Can and Lallana ffs

Glen Johnson is playing at left back.

Do I really need to spell it ou....oh wait....I just did.

Exactly.

If I seen no Lucas or Lovern I'd be ripping.

Two weak points recently have been Lovern at CB and Gerrard at DM. Both are changed.

rob316 · 26-11-2014 06:47PM

How does allen keep starting? I like him but can should be ahead of him.

Yeah, not ideal but if he stays put behind the halfway line and lets Manquillo do the attacking it might not be too bad, as in sacking a manager bad.

Agent Coulson · 26-11-2014 06:49PM

Skrtel, Johnson & Gerrard in the team plenty of european experience there.

Should be an easy win with that kind of experience in the team.

Utopia Parkway · 26-11-2014 06:49PM

Not at all confident looking at that team. Sick of seeing Johnson play week in week out. Very little pace in that side either. Can see this being a very turgid affair.

It's actually hard to believe after spending 120 odd million in the Summer that we start a must win CL game with Johnson, Kolo, Lucas and Lambert all starting.

Harry Palmr · 26-11-2014 06:56PM

A bit of me hopes we get thrashed, but that's the bit of me that I try to keep in a box.

Kerrigooney · 26-11-2014 06:58PM

Wasn't expecting to see the game tonight but overtime has been cancelled...wooo.

Big performance needed but not expecting it tbh.

He was excellent in the last game. There's about 8 players ahead of him who are far more questionable.

Take that tongue out of your cheek or you'll do yourself an injury.

^^^ this all day long. Why pay £25m for Lallana and not play him in a match like this? He's one of the few players who have shown both endeavour and creativity this season. I guess Stevie G is getting the AM spot ahead of Lallana. It's a joke.

If the order of names is correct, that does suggest Gerrard off the front guy, maybe at the tip of the diamond? Definitly not as a DM anyhow, so that's good. He can be subbed off after an hour for Lallana. Good to see Toure as well, if he does the same job as in Madrid he should take control of the back four a bit.

As someone else posted, each game I hope that this will be the game where we play well and turn the corner. Each game it doesn't happen makes the hope for the next game that little more brittle. But who knows, maybe this time...

Let's face it though, as bad as Ludogorets might be, we've been woeful. If we're going to get a result tonight, we're going to have to improve...

Agent Coulson · 26-11-2014 07:19PM

To use a poker term.

I think Rodgers is going "All In" with this team tonight.

Win and he keeps his job till the end of the season lose and he could be gone by Xmas.

Chucky the tree · 26-11-2014 07:21PM

It's going to to be quite funny seeing all the different positions Gerrard ends up playing for the rest of the season as Rodgers desperately tries to accommodate him. He'll be in goals by February.

To add to this, why buy markovic for 20m when u already have suso, but never use either of them??
