I'd move Coutinho into the midfield 3, Firmino then behind the two strikers.

Can Milner Lucas........piss poor midfield even when you include Allen and only ok when you include Henderson anyway.
Serious lack of quality there.

Yeah was thinking that myself. For a manager who prides himself on controlling games which is usually done from midifled we really have woeful midfield options especially from a creativity point of view.

Harry Palmr · 19-09-2015 12:50PM

Coutinho is on Footie Focus, speaking Portuguese! C'mon lad try.

Bad news

This means more of Can playing. Disaster

You seem to love singling out the younger players with Sh1t remarks like that. Probably said the same about Henderson in his 1st 2 seasons at the club.

Agent Coulson · 19-09-2015 12:55PM

Those injections really did the job.

Harry Palmr · 19-09-2015 12:55PM

Other foot.

Not at all. Who cares what age they are.

Always been a fan of Henderson. I'm sure he recieved criticism here and there.

Can has been consistently poor for quite a while and shouldn't be in the first team. That's plain as day

Harry Palmr · 19-09-2015 12:58PM

Cans first year (and a bit) has certainly been no worse than Henderson's was.

PhiloCypher · 19-09-2015 12:58PM

That's my whole belief system fooked I always had Hendo marked down as the David Dunn to Sturridges Mr. Glass

Henderson wasn't too bad first season.

Rodgers hasn't helped Can tbh moving him about in different positions

Yep, you could tell Can was on the pitch.

asteroids over berlin · 19-09-2015 01:02PM

Not bothered, Henderson is average. I still believe the team will improve. I'd rather have Lucas than Henderson.
For me, Hendersons appointment to Captain smelt of mediocrity - the Tottenham of the 90's.

In your dreams. Tottenham won a cup or 2 in the 90s!

He's probably tried more and failed more.

I don't think one is better than the other.

Messi loses the ball a lot, but that's obviously part and parcel of his game.
If Pique or Busquets were doing that they'd be dropped like a hot turd.

I think it's why Allen is so underrated (he's not great either - just not as atrocious as everyone seems to think). People expect every player to do amazing things and not just their job.

But we see what happens to our midfield when Henderson isn't around to do the basics.
It seems to be about mentality as much as anything.
Patience and the sacrificing of your ego as well as the standard fitness and technical football stuff.

I still think Can is a good option at CB if we're not expecting to get attacked much - he mightn't be quite ready to take the reins in midfield, but he can play a more understated auxiliary midfield role, while giving us a bit more solidity and freeing up the only players in the side that can give us width - Moreno, Ibe, Clyne.

He was more use on Thursday as another footballer from the back. Wasn't great for their goal, but our play with the ball is where we're falling down the most at the moment.

Lets go ape****:

Ings--Benteke

Firmino----Coutinho
Moreno----Milner

Clyne
---Sakho--Gomez--Can

He was the proverbial rabbit in the headlights, ended up hiding in plain sight on the right. Okay Dalglish was foolish for trying to play him there so much, speaking of which....

I think a big problem is having a lot of similar type midfield players.

No ball players, playmakers.

19-09-2015 01:13PM

Lucas, Allen, can, rossiter, other chap from midweek, Milner, coutinho, ferminio, Ibe.... Plenty of options imo, Henderson is a loss but not anywhere near sturridge levels... These things happen.

googled eyes · 19-09-2015 01:14PM

We're ****ed lads.

EDIT: I just think Milner may not be a strong enough character to be the captain.

He's good at having chats with the younger players and giving advice at half time/full time but he seems a bit incapable of doing it during the actual game.

Agent Coulson · 19-09-2015 01:19PM

We are turning in to Arsenal with all these injuries

Grayditch · 19-09-2015 01:31PM

This season was interesting.

Hold on, I thought we were turning into Swansea? Make your mind up.

Jon Stark · 19-09-2015 01:36PM

Eh, didn't Henderson just go to the US over his heel? If it was that much of a concern wtf was he doing training?

Wouldn't be hot on Milner as captain either. He's prone to the odd stupid action when things are going against us such as rash tackling. Not one to depend on to lead by example.

He got injections for that heel injury, returned to training, and then broke his other foot.
