    If top 4 isn't already gone, defeats today against United and against Arsenal next week will finish off any hope we've got.

    So what you're saying is......no pressure on the lads.

    :pac:

    And probably finish off any hope Rodgers has of keeping his job.

    However 2 wins would be a wonderful achievement!

    Two wins would be amazing but we haven't seen any signs we're capable of it.

    I can see a draw today and a loss to Arsenal :(

    He's made a couple of good saves but shouldn't that be the least we expect of a keeper?

    How many times has he kicked the ball straight out of play,putting us under unnecessary pressure? Its actually getting funny he does it so often.

    If that was his only fault i could live with it, but when you add in shockingly poor in the air, no command in his area, poor decision making etc etc...

    Jones,
    Johnson, Skrtel, Toure, Moreno
    Henderson, Lucas
    Gerrard
    Sterling, Markovic, Coutinho

    That's what i'd go with today, plenty of pace to worry a shaky utd defence

    I'd say you're goosed against Arsenal, they look a different animal with Giroud ( <3 ) up front. Actually feel LFC win or a draw the most likely outcomes today.

    Jesus, Babel is still only 27. The "Babel era" seems so long ago.



    Is Rogers trying a bit of a hit and hope with Jones. Somehow pull off a win and then attribute it to his tactical genius and ability to drop players when needed?


    Is Brad Jones his hail mary pass? I'd be worried for him if it is.

    I actually think thats promising for ye. At least Rodgers has changed something. Sterling up top aslike a false 9 could be a godsend

    BBC confirm now that Jones starts.
    Fcuking mental imo. I'm not a huge fan of Mignolet and I have joined problem with him being dropped or replaced, but Jones is not a good enough goalkeeper for this level. I get the impression The Rodgers is playing politics with some of this stuff, eh this, 'resting ' continho and lalana during the week, running sterling into the ground, skertl up front etc.

    Oh boy that rumoured team for tomorrow doesn't inspire confidence

    Jones
    Skrtel-Lovren-Johnson( centre back lol)
    Moreno-Allen-hendo-lallana-gerrard
    Coutinho-sterling

    Hopefully bull****

    The line up was correct it seems, bit of a joke the club leaks info like that a day beforehand, the formation I guess we will have to see.
    Feel bad for sakho and Manquillo. I'm all for trying something new but when skrtel and Johnson yet again remain untouchable from the first xi it's difficult to get excited.

    Well you tend to live or die by these kinds of decision. Hopefully it works out!

    Surely the time to drop Mignolet was a few weeks ago, and not after a few somewhat more solid performances.

    Apparently there are a few photos circulating of Mignolet in flagrante. With a pear. No excuses in the lead up to a big match.

    Brendan looks like he's digging his own grave her and trying to be too clever. No strikers? Still no Borini in the squad and Balotelli and Lambert on the bench? This could be a massacre.

    Going to Old Trafford and leaving our only DM on the bench after a few solid displays is crazy!!!!

    Rodgers is finished in my opinion. Toure and Lucas were doing well.

    Best of luck Brendan, it's certainly a bold decision even if I think it's completely mental. If Brad doesn't have a stormer the manager will get crucified.

    I think he's trying to outplay Van Gal rather than the match.
