You'd destroy our superstar Coutinho's career in that position!

How would you accommodate a team with Coutinho and Alberto in the first XI?

I could see Rogers going for that

Against Stoke? No chance.

Against Stoke? No chance.

Mark Hughes is in charge

 

[mark1975]

We'll probably buy a couple more players before then anyway.

 

[Modo]

Mark Hughes is in charge

Yes, but have their players shrunk or slimmed down (Adam)?

Surely one day, some team will just outplay them and they'll be shown up for what they are, a pub team.

If Rodgers starts with the line up you just posted, he's got major cojones.
That line up would either crush Stoke or buckle due to their physical game.

 

[mark1975]

Is Walters still there? We normally have a 'mare against him.

The only thing that might change would be another DM instead of Alberto.. Any news on when Allen returns?

He played in the last friendly I think

Joe? Erm...he returned a few weeks ago.

 

[Brizzle]

Ok - I think he would start the season then. Alberto probably not ready to jump straight into the first team IMO

 

[krissr]

Welcome back

Thanks mate, the Happy Birthday threads aren't the same ha

 

[Modo]

This line up might indicate how we intend to start against Stoke.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Borini shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11. He's shit.

No complaints from me. I'm still hoping that Sturridge manages to get back for this one.

 

[SummerOnions]

when's he expected to return?

 

[Modo]

when's he expected to return?

Last I heard(read), he was working on his fitness at Melwood and he's expected to make it in time for the Stoke game. Whether he starts or not, that's the question.
