all i can remember of sturridge nowadays is how he fluffed his penalty for team GB to send them crashing out...

you either forget sunday night is man city or dont know...
nothing to do with "rest those who r under perform", more like rest the ones who can make a difference during the man city match.

funny how swansea are off to a better start this yr without BR and Allen

ya, thought i was hearing things
wonder what will they sing when it becomes 3-3...
great goal by vidic anyway.

so lets see...wishing for torres to break his leg is not ok?
but wishing for some mancunt to break his leg is fine?

LOLOL.
look what i found, a quote from u about some portugese

ya finally joe allen showing what he can do.
now to wait for sahin to come in, and bench lucas forever

he can sit on the bench for the rest of the season.

borini...wait and see...
he seems to get into positions that gerrard likes...once allen manages to link up nicely with borini then all hell is going to break loose on the opposition...

tho to be fair...after last week's humiliation by wba...this is a game that most ppl expected LFC to lose...so look at it as 1 point gained

next week playing against a weak team, arsenal
so confirm lose...see podolski and giroud finally get on the score sheet.

ya, score-less in 2 games

next to sell, no.21.

if you been watching, you can tell lucas is trying hard to change his game to be more attacking minded to suit BR's style...but somehow doesnt look right
then again, as BR says, lucas is quite prolific from 7 yards out with no goalkeeper...so maybe he'll keep no.21 as a cup player?

and with BR's golden boy Allen around, and now Sahin about to make his debut...and of cos gerrard still around...looks like there'll be no space for no.21 in the first 11.

well who knows what might happen after the loan...as Sahin is obviously surplus to requirements at RM...especially now with the self-declared 'world's best midfielder' just joining them from spurs.

imo, lucas is the only one that doesnt fit BR's style, hes trying to fit but he just looks uncomfortable.
apart from Allen...Enrique, Johnson, Agger, Gerrard, Suarez all fit right in...and that is also why BR brought in Borini, Assaidi and of cos Sahin.
add in Skrtel and Reina...and there is your first 11.

but anyway, lucas may be out for up to two months...so we can see how the new midfield performs against the misfiring gunners this weekend.
and sahin has already hinted that he may stay at LFC once his loan deal is over.

if he was lacking full match fitness, he wouldnt have started...
pass completion is one thing, useful passes is another.
its fair to say BR's golden boy does far more useful passes

what change of opinion? i have never been a fan of no.21 - in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
here's something someone did, comparing last yr's WBA game with the recent excellent 0-3 performance.
you can see how last yr lucas attemped more forward passes, but only for them to be intercepted which are the ones in red.
now under BR hes playing slightly further up front, moving slightly out of his comfort zone and he spraying passes sideways more again.
time will tell, but if no.21 still looks uncomfortable playing higher up...then i dont see how he'll be starting more games once he returns.


but again, to pass completion.
skrtel had 84% pass completion rate, but were any of them really useful?

thats cos we then had both adam and spearing running the midfield.
now we got the golden boy and sahin, also jonjo is slowly coming of age.

plus BR, like rafa, likes to employ 2 holding sweeping midfielders.
and i dont think anyone would just like to draw games...

i said BRs golden boy, did u fail reading classes?

im just saying from what i see.
centrally, both aqua and spearing are already gone.
we now have left - hendo, adam, lucas, gerrard, jonjo, allen, sahin...
its very unlikely that BR will put players that he just got in on the bench...and gerrard most likely is going nowhere...
so that leaves the likes of hendo, adam, lucas and jonjo either on the bench or for the cup team.

btw, regarding sahin's temp - http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/...ol-stay?cc=4716
