Line Up vs Hearts (H)

[gkmacca]

Exactly. Has always supported the club.
The only reason he was a bit disheartened after his Norwich stint was that we barely had any fit strikers or wingers during that time due to Suarez being cup tied and Kenny still didn't give him a chance.

I'll assume that's a joke.

 

[Modo]

I'll assume that's a joke.

Dunno what you mean but I think he was disappointed that he didn't get to play in the Europa league.

 

[gkmacca]

Was Kenny in charge when he was pissed off prior to going to Norwich? No. And then Hodgson snubbed him. Dragging Dalglish into it really is a joke. Pacheco was disenchanted long before he arrived.

 

[Gary25]

Bit disappointed Pacheco hasn't been ivolved more in the first team so far this season, early days of course but you'd have thought he'd get some playing time in them Europa games.

He looked sharp in them pre-season games.

Probably but that's the only real memory I have of him being disheartened.

 

[gkmacca]

What a surprise!

 

[BlitzAce]

Can Sahin definitely play?
if so would love to see him tear it up! Given how well Sterling has been playing I think Brendan will have even more confidence in playing more youth, so I expect to see Suso at least on the bench also Morgan and maybe even Mcloughlin* SP.

 

[MaBigTip]

I think McLaughlin might be ready (when he is properly fit again??). Many will agree.

I'd like to see McLaughlin getting a game. He looks pretty decent.

 

[Modo]

Isn't he injured.

 

[gkmacca]

Isn't he injured.

I think he's back in training but still not fit.

 

[Modo]

Good. Would be nice to see him against Hearts. Tough on Kelly though.

 

[moron]

I don't really care if we play terrible and get through. The most interesting thing about this game is who is NOT sitting on the bench and to some extent NOT starting the game, and I hope the following are those in the NOT category:-

Carroll, Joe Cole, Adam, Spearing

why ? - because they should be doing their medical for the club thats hopefully going to sign those players. Also - I am not bothered if Henderson is in the NOT category.

 

[Ossi]

Is it today or tomorrow?

 

[FoxForceFive]

Is it today or tomorrow?

Thursday.

 

[moron]

Thursday.

Perfect day for a medical don't you think ?

 

[Buddha]

No Sahin v Hearts - registration not through in time.

 

[Brizzle]

No Sahin v Hearts - registration not through in time.

Shame but I guess it will give Hendo a chance to try and prove why he deserves a start

 

[jan]

Yeah, can't wait for that

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has hinted he could unleash his strongest side on Hearts in their Europa League play-off second leg clash.

Rodgers was criticised for leaving stars like Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez and Glen Johnson at home for the first leg in Edinburgh.

The Merseysiders recorded a 1-0 win courtesy of a late Andy Webster own goal at Tynecastle, but Rodgers said he believes the Anfield return on Thursday presents him with a better opportunity to play a full-strength team.

Although the former Swansea boss was coy on the specific inclusions of Gerrard and Suarez, he said: “We want to go as far as we can in this competition. The most important thing just now is getting through against Hearts.

“Some players who missed the first leg will come back in. I don’t know what was written about out team for that game but every side I send out respects our opposition.

“I put out teams to win. You’ll see the strength of our side on Thursday night.”

The Liverpool manager said that Hearts high-energy performance at Tynecastle had impressed him and he had warm words of praise for the club.

Rodgers added that while John McGlynn’s men command his respect, he still expects to win every game at Anfield, with Thursday being no different.

Rodgers said: “I thought Hearts did very well. The team and crowd at Tynecastle were brilliant and they fed energy to each other.

“David Templeton is a real threat, he has good skill and is quick. Callum Paterson impressed me and is a good size while Ryan McGowan is eager to get up and down the right.

“I’d like to think we are overwhelming favourites. We’re 1-0 up, we have top players and we look to beat every team that comes to Anfield.”

Rumours Adam, Carroll and Spearing not in the squad

 

[mark1975]

We need to be careful with Shelvey aswell, he's played alot of football already figuring heavily in preseason and the games so far, we'll probably need him against Arsenal. Yeah I know he's young, fit, etc. Anyway, doesn't look like we'll have alot of choice.

 

[mark1975]

Tomorrow would and should be the perfect opportunity to get the likes of Suso in the squad. Haven't we usually announced it by now? My guess is it'll get announced late to avoid the tabloids having a field day ahead of the game. At least by tomorrow night it'll be confirmed anyway, even though I think we more or less know it's Carroll, Spearing and Adam heading out.

 

[Red Astaire]

Rumours Adam, Carroll and Spearing not in the squad

That would make sense. Shame about Carroll though. This would seem to be the perfect game for him.

BTW - Is that Supermans green crystal - Used for his 'Fortress Of Solitude' in your avatar? - Cool. 😎

 

[Modo]

Most likely.

I'd guess Sahin will be in ahead of Shelvey for the Gooners game Mark
