24th August 2015 - Away to Arsenal

[Grinch]

Won't buy a defensive midfielder but keeps falling back on one that'd be put down if he was a horse.  Great logic from Rodgers there.

[Dr. J]

I just can't see Lucas out there. Way too much movement for him to deal with, especially he's not played a minute yet. Yellow card inside 10' if he does.

[Oh Buoy]

Musker has posted the team. Lucas and Firmino start. We're going Brazilian. 

 

Mignolet

Clyne Skrtel Lovren Gomez

Lucas

Milner Can

Coutinho Benteke Firmino

 

 

Best way. 

 

Fuck the bush!

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I guess a lot depends on what formation's used. That side could be very effective, but if it's 4-3-3 then no Lallana will have an effect on the cover for the fullback on that side.

 

I'd rather we went narrow and put Cou centrally and Firmino nearer Benteke.

It is deeply flawed isn't....refuse to get a top class one but then play one who whilst willing wouldn't get near any of the teams we are trying to compete with.

[Iceman]

We've spent a shit load yet again and haven't even sniffed at a DM. Has to be one of the most depressing but least surprising things to happen this summer. 

[Evelyn Tentions]

Talking shite to the media is all part of the game.

Agreed. Unfortunately BRod believes it.

[therevivalist]

He needs to control the space between his ears first and foremost 

Ha ha...Rodgers talks crap like there is no tomorrow.

2 scrappy wins and his hubris is quickly dusted off and on display via his journo friends. It's a shame its taken 3 seasons to see a pattern in Arsenal's home losses but at least he's found it now. We'll snot them 0-1 tonight.

[eeyore]

Lucas really. Can't wait for all those rusty poorly timed challenges

[RazorBack]

If I see Lallana or Lucas or Lovren or anyone that starts with an L in the starting XI.. Oh fuck it, put everyone in Brendan, you know best.

[Oh Buoy]

Whenever I revisit threads about Rodgers and a 'leaked' team it reminds me of those types of meetings where you're surrounded by plebs all overcomplicating and throwing their dummies about because their idea wasn't picked.

 

He should start Lucas because the mongfest has already done their warm up.

I think Lucas will do ok if he plays, he's always pretty steady when he comes in to cover, there will no doubt be the odd mis-timed tackle but he's been a good servant to the club & it's a shame people are so down on the lad.

 

Having said all that, we should have been going all out for a top DM ever since Macherano left.

[diamondjoe]

Lucas can't help but foul players right on the edge of our box. It must be in the thousands by now.

Anyway, I hate this fixture probably more than any other. I fucking hate Arsenal and Wenger. I hate his smug face in post match interviews when they've won. Prick.

I hate their fans and their holier than thou approach, HOOF. Sanctimonious wankers.

And I hate their players every one. Really hated that inbred dick  Arshavin- " I am Gooner now" Hateful club.

3-0 to us.

[Dave D]

It raining. Perfect.

 

Emre Can is always brilliant in the rain. Its one of the reasons we signed him

And your one og those "traditionalists" who wouldn't changea thing for "old times sake" or because it could actually bring a different result? If we lose 1-0, we could lose 5-4 and at least make the match entertaining and play some good footie. I, personally, don't see it with this Rodgers' setup.

If only I knew how to put the dancing Van Damme gif up.

I think what is missing more than anything from our performances is any fucking enjoyment watching us play. It was fucking grim last  Monday for the vast majority of the game watching us cling on for an undeserved 1-0 victory against some no marks and the Stoke game wasn't much better. Glimpses of good play but for the most part just turgid uninspired stuff. I can't remember the last time I really got a buzz watching us play, probably not since Suarez left . It just oscillates between disappointment and relief for the most part. I know I am not always Mr Cheerful but do others feel the same ? 

[Dr. J]

 

Lallana our for 3/4 weeks with a thigh injury.

 

Let's make it 5, just to be safe. Better 6, or even 7, if necessary.

Away to Spurs at the beginning of the last season. We played a good game, without Suarez.

[TheHowieLama]

Is Mkhitaryan available for this?

Yeh we rode our luck a bit at the start but ran out it out in some style. Moreno looked an inspired signing .
