Rumoured line-up; Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Lovren, Gomez, Henderson, Milner, Ibe, Coutinho, Lallana, Benteke

Seems pretty good aside Lovren. Where do you disappear??? I never see you on regular basis.

Yea. Would have also loved to see firmino start, but I guess he is not your ready, just like suarez came off the bench on his debut.
Yea, I've been very busy with med school, recently finished though so I will be posting more often. But I read every post here though, you guys have been my football.

Would be mighty nice if we won, tottenham, chelsea, arsenal dropping points.

Hate the look of that team.

by Helmer Sun Aug 09, 2015 3:32 pm

whats the team ?

by Art Morte Sun Aug 09, 2015 3:36 pm

Lovren starting and Sakho not even on the bench. Is he injured? Ffs if Rodgers is driving Sakho out. Also not sure starting Gomez is a good idea.

A very attacking line-up from us, let's see if it works.

Damn, so close. Gomez in over Moreno, otherwise it's this! Love it. Very positive line-up and plays to our strengths. Expect Firmino to come in later on.

Get in!!

by Unique Sun Aug 09, 2015 3:43 pm

this seasons signings are replacing last seasons signings. eco smile

by iftikhar Sun Aug 09, 2015 3:45 pm

Would have liked an additional CM (Lucas/Emre) and of course Sakho over Lovren. Whatever, Goooooooooooooo reds.

by edulfc Sun Aug 09, 2015 3:48 pm

Stoke XI: Butland; Johnson, Cameron, Muniesa, Pieters; Whelan, Adam; Walters, van Ginkel, Afellay; Diouf.

Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Lovren, Gomez, Henderson, Milner, Lallana, Ibe, Coutinho, Benteke.

Is moreno injured??

no. on the bench

Pretty uninspiring stuff from us in the first 45 minutes.

by McAgger Sun Aug 09, 2015 4:50 pm

Oh boy offensively we did absolutely NOTHING. I was so afraid of us using Benteke as a lump. And that's exactly what we've done in the first half. We're hoofing to him sooooo much. ffs calm down a bit, play it on the ground. It's nice that Benteke is winning everything in the air but we need to chill with the hoofing ffs.

Gomez playing well.

I agree. I was a bit worried about Gomez but I think the lad has a bit about him. could well turn out a real spot for 3.5mil.

by Nishankly Sun Aug 09, 2015 5:02 pm

Just don't lose this.

by edulfc Sun Aug 09, 2015 5:24 pm

Boring. Attack very disjointed. Gomez playing badly. At this rate, its as if we are playing for a draw

by McAgger Sun Aug 09, 2015 5:53 pm

GTFI LADS WE'VE WON cheers

Coutinho

Magic.

by Curtinho Sun Aug 09, 2015 5:55 pm

Coutinho is a god. Take solace those were the kinds of games we couldn't get results from last season. This is a good start.

by McAgger Sun Aug 09, 2015 6:01 pm

Btw Can looked great when came on. Needs to start in a midfield 3. Not a fan of the double pivot. We played much better with more control in midfield in the 2nd.

BR won't recognize that.

Firmino needs to get fit asap or he might not be able to displace Ibe out of the team.

by Nishankly Sun Aug 09, 2015 6:08 pm

btw Lovren was good.

by Art Morte Sun Aug 09, 2015 6:13 pm

Great to get a late winner like that in a dull 0-0 game.

A lot to improve, though. We lack the movement and quickness of play to play this narrow. I'm a little worried about the lack of natural wingers in the team now. We need to either be able to play faster in this system or change some things.

Anyway, three points, feels fine, can't wait for next weekend now Thumbs up

by iftikhar Sun Aug 09, 2015 6:16 pm

I think we need to adjust our style and get Bently more involved. He does work/move and if we gave him the ball more, he would have worked the defense more. Lallana was disappointing Sad

.

by McAgger Sun Aug 09, 2015 6:20 pm

All 4 of our defenders played well I thought. Some moments of shakiness from the 18 year old but Stoke were targetting him bright as day but he did well otherwise. Also some positioning issues with Lovren leaving too much space between himself and the LB but clean sheet is a clean sheet and all due full credit to them for that. Clyne was the best of the bunch I thought. Didn't put a foot wrong.

by McAgger Sun Aug 09, 2015 6:21 pm

Interestingly no Sakho, Lucas, or Markovic on the bench Sad

I'd hate for us to lose any of the 3. I think Rodgers is pushing Sakho out of Liverpool. How can he not even make the bench ahead of Kolo is beyond me.
