Liverpool vs Spurs

[magicrat]

No Lucas or Coutinho is going to hurt at both ends of the pitch.

I'm hoping rather than expecting to win. 

[Major Tom]

Is Coutinho out?

Coutinho is playing apparently. Front three of Coutinho, Sturridge, Markovic is what's doing the rounds.

[Major Tom]

Yeah, Sterling is injured apparently.

Is Sterling out?

[niallers]

Being reported now that he's out. Big blow but we've others to come in.

[Major Tom]

Is Sterling out?

 

Yes, according to 'Sky sources'. Which appear, today, to be the BBC who broke the story first.

[manwiththestick]

Sky sources = apprentice trawling the web.

[niallers]

Bit of disinformation? Are we that smart?

[Baltar]

Sterling defo out, ffs. If Coutinho is also out then we forget about winning this one.

[magicrat]

I heard Sterling is out now too . Coutinho is available apparently

Sturridge to start then. Probably Markovic back in to start . Personally I would like to see Ibe get a another run out.

[Dr. J]

What about Lallana, is he fit? Coutinho would be more of a loss than Sterling, though not by much. Sturridge has to start, Allen and Hendo in midfield.

[Jairzinho]

Mignolet

Can Skrtel Sakho

Ibe Henderson Allen Moreno

Markovic Coutinho

Sturridge

 

Looks like that'll be the side.

[JaminKibbler]

I hate playing Spurs, something gammy about them. Hope we trance them

[Boss]

We need to drop this 5 at the back and play Can as a defensive midfielder for this one. Coutinho and Markovic either side of Sturridge.

I agree but you know Rodgers won't change it.

[Oh Buoy]

I'm not entirely sure you need to move Can. 

Moving him ultimately impacts two positions rather than one.

[Bjornebye]

I hope he starts Balotelli and Sturridge for this one.

[stringvest]

I think if we play a decent mobile DM we wouldn't need 5 at the back.  Can might be the player to do it. 

[diamondjoe]

I think we'll run out easy winners here Sterling or not. 3-0.

Liverpool's Raheem Sterling will miss the game with the foot injury which forced him off against Everton.

Lucas is ruled out after injuring his thigh, but Adam Lallana could return and Philippe Coutinho should be fit.

Coutinho would have been bigger loss than Sterling.  Especially now Sturridge is back.

 

Still far from convinced with this five at the back stuff.  Square pegs all over the pitch and we've failed to beat anyone of note playing this way.

I'd try Ibe in Sterling's position, if Sturridge isn't ready for 90. Markovic back with motivation to do better on the right.

Lucas is a bigger loss than the pair of them . We don't have any sort of replacement for him

If ever a statement summed up why we're little more than a mid table team this season.
