Leicester (H)

[Brizzle]

So - a game to keep up our momentum. Leicester have just had their first win in quite a while but they have scored a single goal in the last 3 months so should be another one for us to attack.

I'd want to see us keep as similar lineup as possible (replacing Skrtel who is suspended) and then give some of those who have played a lot a rest for the FA Cup game as there is quite a long gap. Let Raheem have a few days off.

Is Lovren injured or just out of favour at the moment?

--------------Can---Toure---Sakho-----------
--Manquillo--------------------------Moreno-
----------------Hendo----Lucas----------------
--------------Coutinho---Lallana--------------
---------------------Sterling--------------------

Yep. Same again please.

Surely Rodgers can't justify dropping anyone for Gerrard after that performance?

 

[Modo]

Hasn't Touré joined up with the ivory coast squad?

You know he will though.

 

[Brizzle]

Hasn't Touré joined up with the ivory coast squad?

Aahh.. good point if so. I wonder who would play 3rd CB if Lovren is injured?

 

[Buddha]

Not so sure. Maybe Manquillo dropped, Hendo shifted over to the right and Gerrard back in alongside Lucas.

Which would be absurd.

 

[Buddha]

Gerrard!

 

[Red Astaire]

Gerrard!

Honestly - I think he would be quite good there.

 

[ILD]

Honestly - I think he would be quite good there.

I'd nearly play Gerrard in goal instead of Mingolet at this stage. At least Gerrard can kick the ball.

 

[Buddha]

Honestly - I think he would be quite good there.

I'm not sure he would nowadays (I think he could have played any position with aplomb before). It seems to me that, of late, he's starting to suffer that slight gap ageing gap between mind/body.

I'm happier seeing him in more advanced positions now.

 

[Jack D Rips]

I don't think Kolo will be gone for Thursday. Their first match isn't until 20th Jan.

 

[Mors]

If Toure has gone, we're a little in the shit at CB with Lovren and Skrtel also out.
If Toure is still here, then I'd play the same team again apart from the Toure/Skrtel swap. Leave Gerrard on the bench, he's not needed for the time being.

 

[red_maradona]

Play the Caiser in the middle of the back three. We'll be ok.

 

[jon545660]

According to the Echo he's available for Leicester, the afc Wimbledon cup game and the next league game.

 

[mark1975]

What's the story with Toure? The African Nations?

 

[jon545660]

Yup.

 

[Leo]

What the fuck is a caiser?

 

[Brizzle]

Fantastic news that he is here, just because I wouldn't want us to change formation given it is starting to come together up top.

 

[mark1975]

What the fuck is a caiser?

Can. German, I think he meant Kaiser.

 

[Leo]

Can. German, I think he meant Kaiser.

He's more Turkish barber than a German general.

 

[mark1975]

He's more Turkish barber than a German general.

Ha.. my lad, who is like the encyclopedia on Liverpool signings, nearly fell off his chair when I told him he plays for Germany U21's. I guess he thought the same.

 

[Frogfish]

Hasn't Touré joined up with the ivory coast squad?

ANC is 17th January to 8th February 2015. He's still around.

 

[mom]

Yep. Same again please.

Squad rotation etc blah

 

[Spencer]

Rumoured team has Gerrard back in:

Mignolet – Emre Can, Touré, Sakho – Henderson, Gerrard, Lucas, Moreno – Lallana, Coutinho, Sterling.

 

[Fabio]

Rumoured team has Gerrard back in:

Mignolet – Emre Can, Touré, Sakho – Henderson, Gerrard, Lucas, Moreno – Lallana, Coutinho, Sterling.

Fucking WHY

 

[Glen C]

Rumoured team has Gerrard back in:

Mignolet – Emre Can, Touré, Sakho – Henderson, Gerrard, Lucas, Moreno – Lallana, Coutinho, Sterling.

If that's true then i feel sorry for hendo. He had a boss game against swansea in the middle and now he's being shafted to wingback to accomodate gerrard.

 

[Spionkop69]

Calm down gentleman, I've already told you. I've sacrificed my NYE to go to this game. I've got this....

 

[Red Mullet]

Calm down gentleman, I've already told you. I've sacrificed my NYE to go to this game. I've got this....

BELIEVE THIS MAN^^^^

 

[Dreambeliever]

Really hope we back up the last performance with something similar and get 3 wins on the bounce for the first time this season. They had a big morale boosting win last time out and won't be lacking in effort

 

[Gary25]

I reckon we'll smash 3 or 4 past these. They'll probably score themselves.
