------------------- Mignolet

Kelly ----- Skrtel --------- Toure ---- Flannegan

--------------------- Gerrard

Sterling --------- Henderson --------- Countinho

------------Sturridge ---------- Suarez

Bench : Jones, Cisshoko, Alberto, Aspas, Ibe, Moses, Rossiter

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Looking forward to this even if I do have to sit next to Spion.

This is the biggest game of our season. We need 3 points to instill the belief in this squad that 4th is doable. A draw isn't a bad result, but a loss would be catastrophic imo to the confidence of this team and stories that will surely follow re: Suarez's future, 'No financial support for Rodgers' etc ...

Unfortunately, Froggie's squad is the best option we currently have.

3-1

Suarez + a Sturridge brace. And a red card for each team.

---------------Mignolet---------------
Kelly---Skrtel-----Toure---Flanno
-----------Allen--Gerrard-----------
--Hendo-----Suarez----Coutinho
---------------Sturridge-------------

I'm wondering who the fall guy will be, Allen was apparently back but is being readied for the derby, Sterling was rested yesterday, Coutinho came off, while Hendo, Suarez and Strurridge played the whole game...

 

[mark1975]

Hopefully Cissokho doesn't play, either way.

 

[Frogfish]

IF Allen's back I'm sure he'll start, Sterling to the bench and Hendo on the right. Not what I'd do but I think it's what Rodgers will do to strengthen the midfield.

 

[Piedro]

Looking forward to this even if I do have to sit next to Spion.

And have to meet me in town beforehand (as I will be with Spion)

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I'll be in town myself mate so can meet up with you both.

 

[Hansern]

Dont have a particulary good feeling about this game.
Lukaku up against Skrtel and Toure will be key, as will the midfield battle.
Sadly our injuries are on players that we would have needed badly on tuesday.

Hopefully Studge and Suarez scores more goals than Everton.

 

[Fabio]

Nah. Think we'll lose

 

[Tal]

Hopefully Cissokho doesn't play, either way.

That's assured. He doesn't actually play even when he's on the pitch, he just runs about and the ball sometimes hits him and goes off in random directions.

 

[Frogfish]

Sadly our injuries are on players that we would have needed badly on tuesday.

So are theirs. Arguably even more so ; Barkley, Coleman, Pienaar are all starters. Even Deulafeu, Oviedo and Gibson can be considered first teamers too now. Anyone want a guess at their team for Tuesday ?

 

[FoxForceFive]

I'll be in town myself mate so can meet up with you both.

And me. Not going the match but I'll meet you boys for a pint.

No, and no. Gerrard in that position is courting doom and ruin. Push him forward and tell him not to come back behind the half-way line. But the personnel is right.

 

[Hansern]

Ming
Kelly Skrtel Toure Flanno

Hendo Gerrard

Sterling Coutinho Suarez

Sturridge

 

[Tal]

That subs bench is absolutely shocking.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Sound

 

[mark1975]

That's assured. He doesn't actually play even when he's on the pitch, he just runs about and the ball sometimes hits him and goes off in random directions.

His bemused sort of "why am I here?" look gets me everytime. He looks like he's just landed on a foreign planet, trying to cotton on to what everyone's doing running around chasing a sphere, and the only part of it he can fathom is that you have to hit the ball over a white line, any white line.

------------------- Howard

Hibbert ----- Jagielka --------- Distin ---- Baines

--------------------- Barry

McCarthy --------- Mirallas --------- Osman

------------ Traore* ---------- Lukaku

Bench : Robles, Stones, Alcarez, McGeady, Heitinga, Gueye, Naismith

* Assuming work permit and FA paperwork is completed in time.

You'll do as you're told laddie!

 

[Frogfish]

That subs bench is absolutely shocking.

Theirs is worse !

 

[Spionkop69]

And me. Not going the match but I'll meet you boys for a pint.

Aces! There's a Tuesday crowd getting together. I'm staying at Pete's. At least I don't have to worry about Michael trying to come in and bum me like last time!

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Any chance of a lift home?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Oops, just seen you're staying over.

 

[Spionkop69]

Any chance of a lift home?

I'm leaving the car at Peters :-(

 

[Spionkop69]

Oops, just seen you're staying over.

Yeah mate. Seemed logical, cos I've got weds off. I may even have a bevvy for the first time in over a month.

 

[Frogfish]

No, and no. Gerrard in that position is courting doom and ruin. Push him forward and tell him not to come back behind the half-way line. But the personnel is right.

Gerrard will start there. 100%.

It'll be this....

[Gary25]

James Pearce says he'd be very surprised if Sakho is back for Tues. Touch and go for Allen.
