    I'd go with 4321. Defense is going to be **** no matter who is picked so I'll skip that...

    Allen Lucas

    Markovic -Lallana-Sterling
    Borini

    That's a good set up but I think I would have lambert ahead of borini . Him and lallana seem to link up well .

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Too many poor players on the pitch . Markovic borini lambert and can to a lesser extent have shown little or nothing to suggest they are good enough to play for a team with top 4 ambitions

    Borini isn't getting gametime.

    Lambert has two in two starts despite being isolated up front on his own. Compare that to the free pass Mario gets from some people for playing up top on his lonesome.

    I'd direct my ire elsewhere to be honest.

    From Presser:

    Rodgers: Few months ago I was manager of the year, now I'm tipped to get sacked. All I can focus on is what you can control.

    Mario Balotelli ruled out of game v Stoke

    Brendan Rodgers: "There's a lot of time left, a big chunk of the season to go. We have been nowhere near what we would expect. We're five points off the top four and the points total is the lowest it has been in the Premier League, so it tells you it is a unique league this year.

    "Our objective, like last season, is fourth."

    Rodgers: Rickie has been excellent. He just needed a goal. He's a rhythm player. He looks like a different player for us. #LFC

    No thanks.

    4-4-2 diamond works just fine with the right players. When Henderson barrelled forth to score the other night it was because Lucas was playing deep rather than Gerrard so he felt he could make that run.

    Manq---Kolo-Lovren--Moreno (I think Lovren with Kolos shouting and arm waving might be worth a go)
    Lucas
    Hendo---Allen
    Coutinho
    Borini----Lambert

    Refresh with Can, Sterling (who may need a bit of a rest) and Lallana in the 2nd half.

    I'd drop Coutinho for Lallana.

    Diamond leaves us way too open. Only reason we got away with it last season was because we had Suarez, and every team was scared sh!tless of him

    If Gerrard is to start againist Stoke that will be his 3rd game in 7 days and this will for me show Rodgers can't make the hard call that's needed.

    Match day program is all about Gerrard. Tag is Steven Gerrard 16 sensational years

    My guess is Kess stopped posting at the same time Agger left Liverpool.

    Ergo Kess was Agger and the Anfield mole all along.

    Wasn't he supposed to be moving countries? China IIRC..

    Edit: China it is. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=78824297&postcount=402
    Not as well as my German, Flemish, Japanese, or french, but probably on par with my Spanish and Irish.


    Irish mother and Danish grandparent saw to it that I had some grasp of their languages. Scouse father, scouse grandfather, scouse great grandfather etc saw to it that I supported the right team. The danish side of the family is where my Kess username came from as well as it is a shortened version of a two word nickname they had for me.

    The other langauges I gained through living and working in those countries, with mandarin being the latest language I am learning as I am hoping to go to China for a year or two from mid 2014.

    Over the next 18 months, Brendan will have to start to take him off and leave him out for his own good.
    :eek:

    Christ on a bike, no thanks Carra.

    Brendan looking ropey, pressure on, job might be on the line if bad results continue.

    Roy Keane leaves Aston Villa.

    Coincidence?

    We all know the defensive problems are because of Sakho.

    Chelsea topped the league over the last 2 windows for money spent on agents fees with £116.7m.
    Second place was Liverpool who forked out £114.3m.

    Now there's money well spent

    I'd like to see Can start tomorrow. Brings a bit of needed power and strength against a physically strong team

    We spent nearly as much on agent fees as players?

    That really ca't be right!! Can it?

    It's £14,308,444.

    Still 2nd highest in the league but when you buy a lot of different players a lot of different agents wants their cut I guess.

    Alan is definitely right about one thing. The amount of people that have turned on the manager already is astounding. Fair weather fans it must be said.

    Being a fan of LFC and being verbose in your critique of our manager's performance recently are not mutually exclusive pursuits

    Rumor has it he's planning on following Tim Wiese to the WWE when he's finished with us.

    I'm quite shocked at how quickly many have totally turned against the manager they proclaimed as the messiah not too long ago.

    Particularly when many of the same people did nothing but give abuse to the likes of myself & Llyod for not showing blind faith and support.

    I was wondering when we'd see this post.
