Team for Chelsea

[Frankenhooker]

Perhaps Kolo can only play once a week ? I hope that's the case, as dropping him after that performance against Real Madrid is odd to say the least.

 

Had a feeling Johnson might start, Rodgers obviously fancies him for big games, again, it's odd because Manquillo hasn't done a great deal wrong.

 

Every selection seems to be throwing up more questions than answers.

[Razoray]

fuck sake! that is how you drive squad morale through the floor. hope he has told them that they are in last chance saloon.

[Dr Nowt]

Fuck I hope that's a 4-4-2 diamond.  If it's one up front again, worrying stuff. 

[Ne Moe Imya]

Anyone still pretending he didn't throw the Real Madrid game?  Still fucking fuming at that, sending a league cup team out in one of our biggest games of the season.

 

I actually think you can make a decent argument that today's lineup is actually worse.

 

In fact, in defense I don't even think it's arguable.

[littletedwest]

expected toure to play after Madrid.At minute players are picked on name and price tag

[liverpoolsno9]

If it's not working, just try, try, try, try, try, try & try again. Rodgers is a very stubborn man.

[sir roger]

Obviously puts a question mark against Brendan's comments re the RM team choice.

 

Any other opposition I would endorse LBWC's comments but with Chelsea I think we need to accept we won't score many whatever how we set up & just be as solid as possible.

 

With that team sheet I would hope its Can & Henderson as a 2 with Stevie behind Mario & Raheem & Lallana to the right & left of the 3 respectively.

#LFC team to face Chelsea: Mignolet, Johnson, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno, Gerrard, Can, Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling, Balotelli

 

So back to the players and tactics that have seen us do so well in the league recently, Balotelli up top on his own, Lovren, fucking Johnson etc.  Well that's just great.  I'm off to make bacon butties and hope this is all a dream.

[manwiththestick]

Not happy with that. Prove me wrong reds.

[The Golden Eel]

So Rodgers saying that he picked the best team for RM is largely bullshit. Shocker.

 

Johnson again, ffs.

Funny thing is, he probably picked a better team than the one he has picked today

[Baltar]

No chance of winning with that team. Pretty much the same team that struggled against mighty Newcastle.

[SammyAftershave]

I desperately hope that Balotelli contributes more than repeating his seeming party piece of feigning a head injury and holding his haircut again as I'm fearful for the safety of my telly screen today.

[Jairzinho]

We've gone with the "false team".

[Frankenhooker]

Am I the only one who feels a tad sorry for Balotelli ? He's the focal point in a system he doesn't know how to play. It was an opportunistic signing, not sure a great deal of thought went into it.

[lebron]

Not the team I wanted to see, I'll have to admit. Hopefully the players are as geared up as I am, let's beat these wankers into submission!

[lebron]

With Sturridge back, teams will respect us a bit more, and open up more room for Balotellit to operate in. Now, it doesn't look very good I agree....

[Anubis]

Some of this at the end, but with Chelsea instead of Utd players, please.
