Burnley

[Brizzle]

Hate to say it as I'm going but any rests that need to happen should do so against Blackburn.

Hendo and Allen just dominated Yaya Toure, Silva, Nasri - we need to keep them together. Lallana only played 30 mins in Besiktas and Coutinho didn't play at all - they should both start again maybe with Studge up front and Raheem on the bench given our system at the moment only accommodates 1 striker.

So in summary - I agree with @Frogfish 's team bar Sakho who I don't think will return so expect to see Lovren start again.

 

[hmmmmm1]

As above, rest players for fa cup.

This is the kinda game after a great win which we seem to drop points.

From espnfc:

PREDICTION: A 4-0 win for Liverpool
FANTASY PICK: Philippe Coutinho
KEY STAT: All three of Jordan Henderson's Premier League goals this season have been assisted by Raheem Sterling.

- LIVERPOOL
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is back in training after a hamstring injury but is unlikely to return yet. Winger Jordon Ibe is expected to be sidelined until the end of the month with the knee injury suffered in the Europa League loss at Besiktas last week. Central defender Mamadou Sakho is close to a return after a hip injury and full-back Glen Johnson should be back in contention after illness.

Provisional squad: Mignolet, Ward, Sakho, Can, Skrtel, Lovren, Toure, Johnson, Williams, Markovic, Henderson, Allen, Moreno, Sterling, Lallana, Coutinho, Sturridge, Borini, Balotelli, Lambert.

- BURNLEY
Burnley boss Sean Dyche is set to have the same squad of players as he did for the previous fixture. The Clarets came through the 1-0 home defeat to Swansea on Saturday without picking up any significant knocks. They remain without Matthew Taylor, who is working on his fitness as he continues his recovery from Achilles surgery, as well as Dean Marney and Kevin Long, both out for the rest of the season due to cruciate ligament damage.

Provisional squad: Heaton, Gilks, Trippier, Mee, Keane, Shackell, Lafferty, Duff, Arfield, Boyd, Jones, Wallace, Kightly, Barnes, Vokes, Ings, Sordell, O'Neill, Reid, Jutkiewicz, Ward.

We are top of the injury table now unfortunately:

Liverpool 8 injuries:
PlayerConditionExpected Return*
J Ibe LCL Knee Ligament Injury 4 weeks
G Johnson Illness 1 day
M Sakho Hip/Thigh Injury 1 day
J Enrique Knee Injury no date
S Gerrard Hamstring Injury 5 days
L Leiva Groin Strain 3 weeks
B Jones Hip/Thigh Injury no date
J Flanagan Knee Injury 5 weeks

 

[Hansern]

How accurate is that though? Both Gerrard and Johnson are back in training. Flanno will be this week and so will probably Sakho.

What the fuck has happened to Enrique??

 

[cloggypop]

What the fuck has happened to Enrique??

Restraining order.

 

[Silver Sean]

This is a huge one for us. We often struggle at home against tight, organised teams that come not to get beat. We need to cut them up quick. A huge three points on offer. No fuck ups please.

Babies for dessert? During lent? Are you sure?

 

[FoxForceFive]

Is it lent? Still? I thought it was the week after pancake day.

I don't partake in all this religious stuff though, so not surprised I'm wrong.

 

[Woland]

I haven't got a ticket for tonight. The plan is to watch it in the pub... but Sunday was so boss I feel like I'm really missing out.

I don't remember the last time I enjoyed a match as much as I did on Sunday. Weird, even last season wasn't as uplifitng as that one game for me. I guess last season was so tense... On Sunday at 1-1 I was sat there thinking how lucky I was to be watching such an amazing match, and then Coutinho went and done that, right in front of me.

I want to go back.

If you've got £150 I know someone who's selling a corporate ticket.

 

[Silver Sean]

Ings will either be completely anonymous or score the winning goal in a one-nil win. If he's really coming to our place next season that is.

 

[Hansern]

If he wants to play in the CL he better miss all his chances tonight

I don't either, but it's VERY popular here. They do it proper too, people go off meat and butter and all sorts. The fast food chains even offer a special menu for it.

Part of me thinks it's popular as it gives people an excuse to go on a diet before swimwear season.

 

[SummerOnions]

Liverpool's XI: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno, Allen, Henderson, Sterling, Lallana, Coutinho, Sturridge.
Substitutes: Ward, Johnson, Toure, Lambert, Balotelli, Williams, Markovic

[Aidan O' Neill]

Pretty attacking. Is raheem going to play rwb?

 

[Red Astaire]

Sweet! I'll quiff but I don't care.

 

[Mystic]

Raheem or Lallana at wing back, interesting.

I think sterling will start there, & they may switch round.

 

[SummerOnions]

rodgers said in an interview Sterling is wasted at WB, reckon it'll be Lallana

The Greedy One will score tonight I tell thee.

It's about time, isn't it?

 

[6TimesaRed]

With that line up we should rape these..

 

[red_maradona]

nice to see Williams on the bench. If we are winning comfortably, it would be nice to bring him on at some point.

Why? Is he any good?

I don't watch Burnley play but because they put in such a shift - I'm guessing they press a lot ?
Cos that's usually what upsets our play - unless the likes of Can and Henderson play the ball forward early

 

[red_maradona]

I am not an expert in the yung uns, but from what little I have seen he looks a good prospect - big, good on the ball, mobile. + it reinforces our rep as a place which gives youngsters opportunities.
