Southampton Vs Liverpool

[WhiskeyJar]

I hope this has not been jinxed by the other thread.

9 points lets keep it going.

 

May the football gods have mercy for this oversight.

Sterling Sturridge Suarez

 

Need to be aggressive in midfield. These motherfuckers pass the ball to each other and shit.

 

I'm assuming Sakho is back. Please be back.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

After all the shit I gave Cissokho, after seeing Johnson at LB he now seems preferable.

Would be my team too . Agger if Sakho not fit. No fucking way I want to see Glenn Johnson at LB. Coutinho gives our bench a bit of credibility as well

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Not sure I'd start Sakho after so long out. I would go direct, too. They don't like direct.

[Pureblood]

Same team that started against Swansea for me.

Yes and if they press too (unlike Arsenal and Spurs but just like Villa and Swansea) we tend to struggle. I'd still rather start with Agger but otherwise I'd go with that.

[WhiskeyJar]

I would still give Johnson another chance.

It's not quite at Ryan Giggs' wife levels, but fair play for your optimism.

[Phoenix]

I imagine Toure will in for Agger after being thrown around by Bony

Interesting to see what Rodgers does, as Kolo has plenty of incentive to turn in a good display following his personal nightmare in both past two away performances.

 

The questions are would he have it in him to do so at this stage in the season, and would Brendan go with the element of giving him that confidence by selecting him and hoping it's repayed.

 

It remains to be seen if Johnson and Agger may both have just been rusty following injury, and be better a week down the line, of course.

Based on what, his reputation? We're still playing for the league, is it worth the risk?

Wouldn't surpise me if Kolo was given the nod.

Although Lambert has the ability to be a fairly physical striker if need be, don't Southampton predominantly keep the ball on the deck?

 

I think I'd rather see Agger play than Toure. Obviously if Sakho is fit enough to start then I'd go with him.

I'd rather Agger too, just a hunch Rodgers will go with Toure.

Lamberts a red isnt he?

He'll be spooning them high and wide....

Yeah, I think he will too. Don't think he rates Agger all that much. Whilst I do, the way we're playing now really doesn't suit him at all.

Think so. Hence a few on here semi seriously suggesting him as a squad player here (more a year or two ago than now).

[Babb'sBurstNad]

They don't mind launching it into the box if necessary, and Lambert's dangerous from set pieces, either taking them or getting on the end of them. Their goals against Stoke being good examples.

[Pureblood]

Think he regrets making him vice captain?

[Jairzinho]

Think he regrets making him vice captain?

 

Probably. I think he wanted to bin Skrtel, and probably keep Agger.

 

As soon as we signed Sakho, though, it complicated stuff.

[WhiskeyJar]

He has experience and can be quality at times. I just think judging him on one game after a long injury is premature.

[Megadrive Man]

We have lost the last two games against Southampton, and we were really awful in this fixture last year.

 

I think Allen needs to come in for Sterling and I'd also bring Kolo Toure in. Skrtel and Agger just do not work well as a partnership together. This has been proven time and time again!

[Dr. J]

Sterling has been one of our best players - Allen should come in for Coutinho, who disappears for long stretches too often.

[JustTosh]

Allen in for Coutinho or Sterling. Last chance saloon for Glen Johnson?

after weeks out injured and playing on his weaker side he was still a country mile better than Cissokho
