Look at get him on the strecher. He struggles to lift his leg. He needed to support his knee with both hands to get his leg into the strecher.

Negativity begone. I honestly pray agger isnt out for more then 3-4 weeks, anything more and its not looking great.

Robinson's a good shout.

What ever happened to Flanno?

Mate, I have said I'm hoping I'm wrong, but I'm just being realistic.

His injury looked just as bad as Lucas' at the Bridge. Kelly's injury is a lot less serious.

I'm no doctor though.

if it is MCL like medics are saying then he wont miss more than 9 weeks. I've had personal experience with this

Sorry to hear that.

Actually I would not worry at all if I saw Coates starting BPL games.

I don't know, I like Coates, but I still feel he is prone to making mistakes now and again. Sometimes he covers it up with great secondary challenges.

WOW.

Coates is great. I'm not really worried if he plays. It's good for him to get games under his belt.

@ynwa thanks mate, it was 3 years ago, I don't even remember it now, but the first 2-3 days are a bitch. I can sympathize with Daniel

WOW.

A run for Coates is precisely what he needs to remove those occasional mistakes from his game. He needs the regular playing time. He's shown he has the ability, and he has looked good in the last few games he has gotten. (P.S. guys... He was the CB that didn't botch a back pass against Man City... Nothing against Skrtel, but it is true.) I think Rodgers went with Experience in the hope of getting something out of this match. Coates could get the shout for a full start.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to see Assaidi come in for Borini in the next game, if only to give him a little rest. The swollen ankle certainly ins't our biggest concern, but with our dearth of strikers atm, we can't afford to risk his fitness.

I don't see why Enrique can't seem to figure it out atm. I don't think it's our possession style. He's just horribly out of form. To be fair, he wasn't awful against Young Boys (from what I was able to watch). He just had one god-awful mix-up with Jones and Carra/Coates (i don't remember the other defender involved. He tried to pass it out (in order to stick with the possession style) and misplaced it. It was certainly an awful result to the move, but let's not let it the one error be a referendum on his recent play. If we did that, Skrtel would be benched after the City game and Reina would have been benched for the last few fixtures.

One mistake? I thought he was crap the whole game. He manages to take up bad defensive positions constantly of late. He gets too tight in certain situations and lets a player turn him and cut inside. He should be backing off a couple yards and try to push an opponent away form goal. Other times he leaves the space where he needs to be putting instant pressure on.

I just don't have a lot of confidence in him right now. Maybe he needs to be more reserved in his offensive game. He needs to forget about helping out the attack until his sorts out his primary role. Defending.

I didn't see the game, but even just watching the highlights made me angry. Unbelievable calls, so glad I didn't wake up for it today.

I love trolling the Pool, but you guys got done dirty today. Kind of early in the season for the refs to start looking inept.
