Leicester (H)

[Squiggles]

Leicester seemed to start the year really positively, but I haven't seen them play for months.

What are they like?

3-2

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Let's get on a good positive winning streak - team is in a good place now. This game is key for this to continue and maintain pressure on Manure, Spurs, Arsenal etc ...

 

[Ryan]

Vardy's pace and movement will trouble Toure.

 

[Buddha]

Their young right winger is a danger too. He's a real prospect, I just can't remember his name!

 

[leftpeg]

I think we'll better them...4-0.

 

[leftpeg]

*batter*

 

[tombrown]

We'd better batter them

 

[Buddha]

Yeah, 4-1 again.

 

[Mystic]

Gimme some team news.

 

[Irish_Red]

Will Ming be able to kick the ball with this wind. Can see a few of his clearances going backwards today.

 

[Spencer]

Confirmed team:


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

 

[Judge Jules]

I think we'll win but it may be a little tight for comfort. 2-1 Liverpool.

Immobile middle 2 is Immobile

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard returns to the starting XI as Brendan Rodgers makes two changes to his team for the visit of Leicester City this afternoon.

The No.8 sat out Monday's victory over Swansea City but is brought back here, replacing Javier Manquillo in the line-up at Anfield.
Elsewhere, Kolo Toure is named in defence with Martin Skrtel suspended for the 3pm GMT Barclays Premier League contest.
Academy forward Sheyi Ojo is again featured among the substitutes, as is Dejan Lovren following an injury lay-off.

Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Can, Toure, Sakho, Gerrard, Lucas, Henderson, Moreno, Coutinho, Lallana, Sterling.

Substitutes: Ward, Lovren, Lambert, Manquillo, Borini, Markovic, Ojo.

[Wiberg]

How annoying and what a mistake not to give all 11 the chance to go again!

 

[red_maradona]

no ballotelli

wow! that must be telling.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

no ballotelli

he's gone.

 

[Fabio]

no ballotelli

Fucking stupid

 

[Mystic]

Henderson at RWB over Maquillo is unforgivable. Gerrard in CM over Henderson is unforgivable.

 

[gene hughes]

Not a great set up

 

[Brizzle]

Harsh on Manquillo and also harsh on Hendo - being shoehorned into the team just so that Brodge doesn't have to be the guy to drop Stevie.

 

[Leo]

These are the types of games that Markovic should be playing.
Suppose it's hard to drop Moreno after the Swansea game though.

 

[Brizzle]

I'd rather Gerrard was put in than Mario though I have to say.. Telling that he's not on the bench - maybe something to do with his alleged tantrum at FT against Swansea?

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

That midfield, especially through the middle, looks weak.

 

[Skullflower]

wiziwig is dead now. any alternatives? or just any streams for the game?

Check the stream thread

 

[Frogfish]

3-0

 

[Wiberg]

Why doesn't he try to build momentum? What's makes him think we can afford this. Obviously chances are that we will win but this was a great opportunity to give Hendo and Lucas a chance to build and grow for the future.

instead we get the painful experience of watching two shoehorned midfielders.
