Liverpool vs Southampton (Pre Match)

[redhorizon2]

Unlikely to have Coutinho and Suarez still banned, who would you line up and what formation would you play?

------------Mignolet--------------
Toure----Skrtel--Agger----Enrique
--------Lucas--Henderson--------
--Gerrard-----Allen------Moses--
-------------Sturridge------------

Hmmm is there really need for 4 centre midfielders at home to a team like Southampton?

I'd have Sterling in place of Allen personally. Sterling can be frustrating but he's still much more dangerous going forward compared to Allen.

 

[SummerOnions]

is allen fit?

I'll give you 100 quid if they line up like that with Gerrard front right.

I know they won't, but anyway. It'll be same old same old.

That will teach him not to do a dirty great dive

So Allen is NOT injured?

 

[Frogfish]

So Allen is NOT injured?

He and Kelly were both on the bench .. so I guess both are just lacking fitness.

 

[the_khl]

Oh that explains it then, thought he was injured.

Was it the first game he made the bench this Season?

 

[nealmac]

He and Kelly were both on the bench .. so I guess both are just lacking fitness.

I don't think Allen was on the bench?

Actually, I'm 100% certain he wasn't on the bench.

 

[Brizzle]

If Coutinho is out I would think Alberto might get a start.

----------------Mignolet--------------
Wisdom--Skrtel--Sakho--Enrique
----------------Lucas-----------------
Hendo-------Gerrard--------------
----------------Alberto--------Moses
---------------Sturridge--------------

 

[Brizzle]

That is my prediction. I'd prefer to see Skrtel and Toure start together though although Toure might get thrown on the right?

Why when they are completely different players and doesn't look even close to ready for the first team.

 

[Frogfish]

I don't think Allen was on the bench?

Actually, I'm 100% certain he wasn't on the bench.

Ah well he was for one of the games but anyway not injured.

 

[the_khl]

Ah well he was for one of the games but anyway not injured.

I am truly baffled.

Allen surely has got to be injured still despite not featuring on the list, otherwise he's not even good enough to make the bench anymore?

I am going with injured for now.

 

[RolandG]

Alberto in for Coutinho.

3-0 win

 

[Brizzle]

Disagree, I think Rodgers sees Alberto as the back up to Coutinho. They may play differently but they play the same position.

He's just returned to training mate

 

[the_khl]

He's just returned to training mate

I'll take your word for it then mate, despite you told me a few days back he was injured 😉

Coutinho needs "surgical stabilisation" on shoulder and likely to be out of action until late Oct, say @LFC. A blow for them (and him)

NOooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

 

[Cerberus]

The return of Suarez could not be more timely after this news.

 

[the count]

Disappointing,
He needs to learn how to dive more safely
