    All I'm going to say to you is there's some very good reasons why top level managers pretty much never throw a player coming back from a long term injury, with no reserve team football under his belt, into a competitive match from the start.

    Can we have some evidence that he is starting tomorrow before the lambasting of Rodgers begins properly?

    I really beg to differ. I have heard nothing from the crowd to say he should be concerned for his job. People like you and I sitting here have no bearing on his job.

    I fully expect a few Brendan Rodgers songs tomorrow from the crowd.

    There may be a couple if we actually play some decent football and score a couple of goals. If we play as we have for the last 12 months though there won't be much.

    I haven't been to a game this season, but I was at a few at the back end of last season and there was quite a few 'misgivings' shall we say about him, and of those that I talked to none were convinced about him although not in mutiny at that point.

    If we lose tomorrow there will be lots of discontent from the crowd.

    This is the rumours thread, not the evidence thread.

    Glad to see you are settling back in so well.

    I can't wait to have Sturridge up alongside Benteke and see how we play but I don't think it will be tomorrow.

    I would be very happy though if Rodgers only selects one #10 unless he plays Couthino in a deeper role.

    The word 'if' featured heavily in the initial posts. Of course nobody knows whether he'll start him or not. I won't believe he will until I see his name on the team sheet!

    I heard a rumour Sturridge is out for the rest of the season with a torn arse muscle. Rodgers out.

    Wait...What?

    This started with me saying 'if' Sturridge starts, Rodgers is desperate.

    You disagreed.
    I argued back.
    You said this isn't must win tomorrow.
    Others disagreed, including me.
    You argued.

    All of this was fine, and the conversation had moved on.

    All of this was under the premise that Sturridge starting is a rumour. Everyone knows this. At no point did anyone lambast Rodgers for anything regarding tomorrow's game, because guess what? We can't. Because it's a rumour.

    So your asking for evidence is weird.

    Anyway...fans will be pissed if we lose tomorrow, and will let it be known if it happens. And much if it will be directed at Rodgers. I've no doubt about that.

    You shouldn't argue, we're all adults here. Let's just have a simple talk.

    IMO tomorrow pretty much has to be (but likely won't be);

    Mig
    Skrtel---Sakho
    Clyne
    Lucas
    Moreno
    Milner
    Coutinho
    Firmino
    Ings----Benteke


    Everyone playing in a position they've actually performed well in before, reasonably balanced, with plenty going forward against Norwich. Sturridge to get 20 or 30 mins in place of Ings. Can on for Lucas, and maybe Lallana or Ibe on for Firmino, depending what we need at that point.

    Well, let's see what happens. I hope that the return of Sturridge can motivate this team into better things, as it does seem to be Rodgers' final crutch. However, I am not confident. Even if we win tomorrow, I can see us just stuttering our way until the next fcuk up.

    It's a must win game for sure.

    In fact, a loss tomorrow would see Rodgers sacked imo

    What about a draw!?!

    I'd probably keep him in a job until Villa game. It shouldn't though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    There's a chance we could end up 16th tomorrow. A team I presume FGS expect to reach top 4. I wonder if Rodgers considers it a must win, or is he fairly calm about it, cause we're only 6 games in.

    Chelsea were 17th last week.

    A draw means we can limp along for another few weeks playing the same old sh!te.

    Probably a likely scenario.

    You can be sure even if we did end up 16th tomorrow there'll be lads with their heads buried in the sand still defending him

    An absolute anomaly that has no grounds for a comparison for so many reasons.

    :rolleyes:

    They are current league champions ffs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,209 ✭✭✭✭J Mysterio


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

    Yeah, thats not really good enough.

    I'd say Newcastle are desperate to play us and get a few points on the board.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    My Guess.

    Mignolet

    -Clyne
    Skrtel----Sakho---Moreno-

    Lucas

    Milner
    Can

    Coutinho

    Sturridge---Benteke
    .


  • Posts: 45,738 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Sakho has to come back in. Who'll he replace is debatable. Skrtel has been as bad or even worse than Lovren. I'd probably say worse.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,748 ✭✭✭✭Lovely Bloke


    haha, motd just showed "that" Rosenthal miss.

    1992!!

    That's a bit ostrich coming from you.


  • Posts: 45,738 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    1992 Souness was manager. We screamed mediocre.

    Rodgers is even worse! Jaysus
