I'd not want Gerrard anywhere near the levers of power. As for Gordon and Ayre they stand or fall with Rodgers arguably so no surprise they are backing him. While Klopp is probably a bit of a loose nut at times, many of the best managers are.

If you play
Firmino_Sturridge_Ibe_ as a three with Counthino and Lallana in midfield with Milner or Lucas as a holding player , there is no reason for our fullbacks to provide width, or to even venture forward. Means we are solid at back, while being a huge threat up front.
Of course with this line up you need pressure on the ball from the front players, can't give opposing team time to play out or time in midfield. You need those front players to drop in and harass to win ball back, lay if off and bomb forward. The security is the five holding players, who I would not want to lose their positions, just defend and lay it off to mIdfield and play a high line. Need to close space.

might work in Fifa maybe. Think your forgetting u need a midfield to lay the ball to. Big difference playing in midfield with your back to play alot. Lallana with how many touches he takes would lose countless balls. Milner isn't a DM. We would also have no width on the left with that team.

Sturridge starts today according to Sky. Carra's immediate response: 'Managers under pressure. The BR of 2013 wouldn't have done this'.

Every decision Rodgers makes now will be under intense scrutiny from the pundits given recent performances. The options for introducing Sturridge back into the team are to bring him on for 20 mins at the end of a game or to start him for 60 mins and then sub him, he is opting for the latter and I have no issue with that. If his fast twitch muscles cannot cope with 60 minutes after his lengthy rehabilitiation he is a lost cause anyway.

Really hope these Fsg selling rumours are true because after reading that independent article (if in anyway is true) they seem clueless and lack ambition

garra · 20-09-2015 12:18PM

Any Lawrence on BBC: "I do have some sympathy for Brendan Rodgers, although there are things he’s done that certain Liverpool fans seem to find unforgivable."

Anyone have an inkling what she is on about?

Clueless with ambition .
Still dangerous
So much money spent and still no team

Buying sh1t players? Not playing others? Playing 1 up front for over a year when it hasn't worked in the majority of games?

Turtyturd · 20-09-2015 12:20PM

Constantly play elvorn?

Bluffed his way in to a Job in which he is completely out of his depth, wasted hundreds of millions on dross, let his 2 coaches take the fall for last season, talks complete bo**cks all the time, isolated players, plays players out of position etc etc.

Excepting defeat to Man U and Real Madrid before a ball was kicked.

Grayditch · 20-09-2015 12:27PM

I wonder will we start the game passing it around a bit, losing the ball. Going forward with no real plan and getting pressed back.

Probably. If it ain't bro.....oh.

Tipsy McSwagger · 20-09-2015 02:14PM

Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno, Lucas, Can, Milner, Coutinho, Benteke, Sturridge

If we don't win today with that starting Xl Rodgers should be sacked straight away.

Iused2likebusts · 20-09-2015 02:18PM

At least there is a bit of balance to that team. With nearly all players playing in their best position.

SlickRic · 20-09-2015 02:22PM

I still don't understand that if that's his ideal team, why Ings hasn't been starting.

So fúcking odd.

6-0 win and Southampton winning and top 4 is ours.

That was my thoughts too, I'm very apprehensive about starting Sturridge after the injuries he's had. I would have Ings in there instead and bring Sturridge on for 20 minutes or so.

I really hope Sturridge and Benteke hit the ground running and score like 20 goals n stuff.

Will be dissapointed if Sturridge doesn't hit at least 5.

Potential Underachiever · 20-09-2015 02:30PM

Yes, I hope Benteke and Sturridge can fire us to Top 4 and in turn keep BR in a job, I'm sure we all want that in an ideal world.

We haven't seen where they'll be playing yet. Would have thought Ings would have played up top in midweek but he was more like a wing back.

Knex* · 20-09-2015 02:30PM

Pint of optimism please, lads.

Need something to recover from last night, and I'll be fucking damned before I turn to the GAA for my afternoon's excitement.

I'll be happy if he passes it 5 times to Benteke.

x43r0 · 20-09-2015 02:31PM

Sturridge just pulled up 2mins into the ****ing warmup and is now gone back down the tunnel

You couldn't make this **** up!

Except I just did......Enjoy the game everyone!
