............Suso/Couts........Sterling............Lallana

Unfortunately I think Rodgers will pick Lucas and we'll scrape a draw. If we pick the team above we'll win.

All of a sudden people realise what Allen brings to us.

It's absentitis, or Enrique-itis as you call it. Gerrard's been garbage, so has Countinho and Lucas (until yesterday), while Hendo is carrying a knock, Can is injured and Allen is just coming back from injury.

We've not got many options available, and the ones we have are below par, that would be why. It's not like the forum have just had an epiphany.

So Lucas is the difference between winning and losing?
Fuck, if only Spearing was around.
 
I don't see anyway in hell that Sterling won't start. I'm more than a little concerned though that Sturridge won't be fit enough to start, so two teams to cover those two possible scenarios are given below.

----------------------------Mignolet
Manquillo--------Skrtel----------Lovren-----Moreno
----------------------------Gerrard
-------------Henderson-------------Lallana
---------------------------Sterling
-----------------Sturridge-------Balotelli

Subs: Jones, Enrique, Sakho, Lucas, Coutinho, Borini, Lambert

OR, if Sturridge isn't fit enough to start :

----------------------------Mignolet
Manquillo--------Skrtel----------Lovren-----Moreno
----------------------------Gerrard
------Henderson------------------------Lallana
---------------------------Coutinho
---------------Sterling--------------Balotelli

Subs: Jones, Enrique, Sakho, Lucas, Suso, Sturridge, Lambert

Perhaps. I'd say the fact Allen's a good midfielder has something to do with it too.
 
It is bizarre how Allen seemingly can't draw praise from some sections of our support.

I know a few people who think he's shite. They're also mind numbingly retarded though

If sturridge is playing his first game back from injury we're fucked.

He never scores after a layoff, EVERYONE knows that.

A mate of mine said the exact same the other day and I was looking on here for a thread with the stats... Any idea where it is?
 
I think we'll lose (I always think that) but they're overdue, and we're muck right now.
 
Didn't he score in last year's first derby coming off the bench after an injury layoff?
 
We're due to have a game where a few of our players put it all together and we have a great performance. Here's to hoping this is the match it happens in.

Plus Gerrard will probably put a bit more effort in given the opposition.

I don't have a good felling about this on current form
Click to expand...


Everton in 7 games (all comps): scored: 13; conceded: 17 (1 clean sheet); DDLWWLL
Liverpool in 7 games: scored: 11*; conceded: 11* (1 clean sheet); WLWLWLW

*including extra time goals against Boro, excluding penalties

On current form, I think Everton fans may have as much or even just a bit more to not have a good feeling about. Their defence has been every bit as shit as ours this season.

Having said that, we need our defenders and CMs to turn up and be on the ball. Mirallas is always a handful for our full backs, and Lukaku's the type of big pacy unit our CBs have often struggled to control in the past couple of seasons. And then there's Naismith who will be making his runs against a dozy and static Gerrard. We can only hope Stevie will be at his determined best for this game.

Most important of all - FFS, don't give away free kicks in our half, and silly corners!
 
The mirror reckon Sturridge was back in full training yesterday, so going by that, he should be starting the derby right?
 
We have Lallana, Coutinho, Markovic, Sterling and Suso who are all perfectly suited to play right across the '3' in a 4-2-3-1, creating fluid, interchanging football. I wish we'd stop dicking about with this diamond and go back to basics.

..................................Mignolet............................
Manquillo.........Skrtel.............Lovren............Moreno
........................Henderson.....Gerrard..................
..........Lallana........... Sterling............Coutinho
.................................Sturridge (if fit)..............
