Pre Match: Liverpool v Norwich - Wed 4th Dec at 7:45

Sakho is certainly going to start. Moses out, Cioutinho back. All obvious.

But I wonder if there will be many other changes?

Will he FINALLY have the bottle to drop the hapless Lucas? Will we see Alberto? Or even Ibe?

Interesting.

Should be Brendan Rodgers easiest 90 minutes as Liverpool manager. He shouldnt have to open is mouth after the drivel handed up Sunday if anyman in that squad hasnt the stomach to go out there tonight and give the game of there lives they should never again be handed a Liverpool shirt. They owe every supporter, every team mate and themselves a huge performance tonight as an apology for the crap handed up at Hull, HULL!

I'd go with this, but I know Rodgers won't;


                                     Mignolet
Johnson             Srtkel                     Sahko                Cissohko
                                      Lucas
                        Gerrard                  Henderson
Sterling                            Suarez                              Coutinho

Sterling                            Suarez                              Coutinho

I quite like your lineup, but Sakho and Cissoko together on the left? What has Sakho done to deserve that

I would definitely like to see Ibe given some game time tonight, he's exactly the sort of player we need to giving game tie to. he's quick can beat a man, has skill on the ball... a proper attacking threat

while sturridge is out i think he'd be perfect out wide with Suarez in the middle

What has Sakho done to deserve that

Delayed punishment for breaking the weight machine when he first joined!

my prediction: suarez headtrick. Yeah baby!   

I'd tell every player that they are playing for their place. Brendan needs to apply pressure to the team. We've all seen how good we can play so any lazy performances will be punished.

We also need to simplify our tactics for this.
I'd play 4-2-2-2

-----------------Mignolet-------------------
Johnson ----- Toure ------ Sakho - Flanagan
------------- Gerrard ----- Lucas-----------
------------- Ibe --------- Countinho-------
------------- Yesil -------- Suarez ---------

I put Ibe in place of Henderson or Allen as neither have performed in an attacking role.
Necessity dictates playing Yesil but give the lad a chance.
Any slow starters should be subbed before half time as one or two seem to drag the entire performance down.

Brendan has to have a ruthless streak against teams like this.

With the right mentality we will steamroll these.

Talking of being ruthless, BR must start to be ruthless with the players, whoever under performed will be dropped or sold. Good managers are never kind managers, they have that champion's mentality and ruthlessness in them. Does BR has that, I don't know but I do know that the great managers that we had in all those conquering years do.

Right now I'd throw in any player including Ibe, suggested by some as he can't be poorer than Henderson and Lucas. Saw Ibe ran at the opposition defence very often which is what we have been missing so far while we over indulge in those side and backpasses.

Team doing the rounds at the minute:

Mignolet, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Flanno, Gerrard, Allen, Coutinho, Sterling, Henderson, Suarez

Team doing the rounds at the minute:

Mignolet, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Flanno, Gerrard, Allen, Coutinho, Sterling, Henderson, Suarez

Lucas out, Henderson and Stevie still in.  Well, 1/3 ain't bad.

You Flanno will give it all.

I would like to see Agger and Sakho personally, thought its hard to drop Skrtel after recent form.

If that is the team (and I hope it isn't, I'd like to see Sakho in) I hope Glen plays left back and Flanno right. Two reasons, one Flanno is better there. Two, Glen has been awful last couple of games and a wee change of scenery as well as the option to cut in and have a crack with his right peg might just get his juices flowing. 

Is the match clock wrong it's saying 17 minutes to KO !

That would be the time on your computer being wrong by my guessing sir

Match is 7.45. Clock may still be set to BST.

I'm in Luxembourg and it is 7-45 here in 10mins it'sreally confusing !

Really hope Alberto starts. He can pick a pass, and Norwich will park the bus.

I've gone 3-0 to the Red Men so step up Luis, hat trick time once more !

The match clock isn't wrong.

It's either your timezone in profile settings or the time on your computer.

Anyway....

1 HOUR TO GO!
