Yellow for Lucas, it was unnecessary really. No need to be picking up cards early on in the competition.

Two boys up the tree! :pac:

livinginkorea

Shelvey could barely handle that.

Sturridge looks good

EDIT: I know they are non league or whatever, but its still good to see a hungry young player up front going for it.

It just adds to his yellow card count for the season

livinginkorea

Good play there, good shot

mike65

I'll get his Coates

mark renton

Isnt it great to have 2 real goalscorer strikers again...

ManOnFire

some save in fairness

Sturridge could have a hatrick already.

klose

Coady on for lucas around 60 minutes and suarez on for sturridge around then too.

Luckycharms_74

Lol @ carragher to Jones. If carra wasn't so slow he could have gotten that overshot pass from jones

aramush

Robinson impressive

MD1990

Sturridge is playing very well
his pace is going to really help us in the final third

The shape has been kinda surprising. I thought Rodgers would have setup to really swamp them and have us bombing forward but Allen/Lucas have sat quite deep with Shelvey operating in the hole on his own so often it has looked like a 4-4-1-1. Nothing wrong with that but considering he has been quite dogmatic in leaving us fairly open to make us more attacking against premiership sides it feels weird that we've setup to be more solid against a non league side. I guess it could be to do with the amount of new faces in the line-up.

I thought that with both Allen and Lucas, that Allen would be the one going forward but it does seem that they are both holding. Maybe Rodgers wants sufficient cover for Carra and Coates?

Should be a few up. If they fúck up here only themselves to blame. Hopefully will get a couple of goals in quick succession, and not need to risk Luis.

It could be something to do with the pitch in that he feels attacking breakdown will happen often due to misplaced passes on such a bad surface so he doesn't want us exposed when the ball is turned in attacking areas. I think we started well but we've been pretty bad since considering this is an non-league side.

Might have changed it after the early goal? I'm sure he'll be happy to take a 1-0 win.

I'm expecting premiership level fitness to tell in the last 30 mins of this game.

Fecking joke of a card

Leiva

It's coming.

Mansfield gonna score

prettyboy81

Kitchen Sink time....

Sturridge at fault there

Definitely...I reckon there is a few creaming themselves at the prospect.

Brad Jones :eek:

murpho999

Liverpool need to calm down and hold the ball.

Mansfield's tails are up and they're going for it.

livinginkorea

FFS Shelvey not even bothering to go for the header there...if he got it the knock down could have been nice for Sturridge

livinginkorea

Great stuff from Carra

Sir Gallagher

Suso not impressing me at all lately.

mike65

Get Henderson on!

Leiva

We just need to get some shape and keep possession.

missingtime

Suso isn't having a great game...

Turtyturd

They are beating us on possession this half, no matter the result 'The rodgers' won't be happy.

Sometimes he crosses the ball into the center of the park...a place where anything can happen

5starpool

They can't even pass any more. WTF is going on?

Getting the runaround by a non league outfit

kfallon

The **** is going on????

I don't understand how Pacheco isn't getting a shot ahead of him. I think if Dani had gotten the chances he has had this season he would have showed far more.

Turtyturd

F*ck off Sturridge.

The_Kew_Tour

Mansfield are the new Barca.

mav79

Lucas, Shelvey and Allen just being bypassed.

livinginkorea

Jesus what's going on. Was it a handball by Allen?

googled eyes

Jaysis. Weve been very lucky

livinginkorea

Suarez coming on!

Why didn't Jones just take that simple catch?

It isn't volleyball Brad
