      Someone suggested playing Can in Lucas's place and Lovren as a CB. I'd rather play Glen as a CB than Lovren, seriously. This lad made me age 5 years with his horrendous display in our defence, cost us alot of points, and we don't have the luxury of trying experiments with our formation anymore.

      If BR can cure Lovren of continually drifting to the left CB position he'll be fine.
      If not, he's in competition with Sakho, which means less game time.

      I know, but it's a massive jump for just one player. (23-24 average squad age)
      He's 10 years older than Allen.

      Man, I feel old now.

      Plenty of people saying Gerrard starts.
      I really hope that's not the case.

      He was dead on his feet with 30 mins to go in the derby.
      No way he should be starting this game.

      But you wanted Lovren to play.

      When i thought his mistakes are due to him being new into our system, but not after they became a routine for him.

      Look up what i posted in player's thread not so long ago.

      I'm going by what you said today: 

      I don't want to see Lovren nowhere near the starting eleven.

      I think it's time for the future captain. That said I don't think Brendan agrees, I think Allen will start.

      Just drove up from London and had some dinner. Jumping on the bus to Anfield now! First game I've seen live in 5 years, hope its a cracker like it is on paper.

      I wanted to underline how much i don't want him in our starting eleven. I know i should have said "I want him nowhere near the starting eleven".

      I'd quite like to see Lovren in midfield in the Lucas role (DM). He is a good tackler, and physically strong. His problem is his tendency to charge down the ball leaving his CB partner exposed. I think this would not be an issue in the current system. This has been done with two other slightly lackadaisical defenders - Phil Jones and David Luiz

      My worry about this though, is his legs. Generally one has to be fitter and faster to play in midfield than defense.

      Will almost certainly never happen and probably for good reason. Just fan-pothesizing.

      Think fans just want  Lovren to play because Lucas is out and they want to see Can in the middle..

      Not saying Lovren should start today , and maybe I am off topic too
       But what made BR and the club pay 20M( if i remember correctly) for  him
        surely he looked that good in thier eyes to be good enough for our defence,otherwise they would not have paid all that money
      is it because of the different system? different defence partners, Its not that he came from another country this season , he was playing in the premiere with the saints. it really is an enigma with him

       back to topic ..
                           we have to be careful , not to do any stupid mistakes , especially in midfield, they (spuds) are  in form atm  as we are after all
       they have luck too which we dont have  lately
        saying that , confident we will win this one
       COME ON REDMEN

      I've heard on the grapevine that the concrete foundations are going to contain the likes of Balotelli and a few unsavoury forum members after tonights game and the JWH mafia are here to oversee it !

      We need to win a big match as our big game record this season is dreadful.

      Man City (a) lost
      Spurs (a) WON
      Every Champions league match that mattered
      Chelsea 3 times only managed a draw
      Arsenal (h) drew
      Man Utd (a) lost
      Everton twice drew FFS

      Hopefully we can do the double over the Hebrews tonight
