From the Southampton game, it looked like we were going to be a bit more conservative this year, but I think that could be out the window now.

It's hard to know what to take from that game.

Lucas looks like he's off to Napoli and that was a big factor in how disconnected our back was from our front.

We've also got 3 new first team attacking signings who've yet to feature.

We looked like we were picking up where we left off from last season in pre-season. Hopefully the Southampton performance and game plan was just an anomaly due to injuries and lack of sharpness.

i'll say this now, if we could get in Alex Song, or someone to properly cover a midfield spot, then this will have been a near-perfect window in terms of what we could reasonably expect after the sale of Suarez.

well done to all involved tbh.

I really don't see what Song can offer us, that we don't already have.

He'd be a tragedy as the sole DM, in the role Gerrard plays, imo.

Mobility, athleticism, and mobility.

Are we on about the same Alex Song?

I'd actually prefer to keep Lucas. He'd cover for Gerrard more competently.

Agent Coulson

I've shouted for Song as well when I thought he might be part of the Suarez.

Now I would much rather spend money on someone like Lars Bender.

Gbear

Personally I think we're grand, even if Lucas leaves.

We have 8 players for 3 midfield positions and, other than Can, because of his inexperience, I'd be happy with nearly any combination of them starting any match.

Agent Coulson

Bad A$$!!

So where does this leave Sturridge? Both Sturridge and Balotelli are very similar players; both can play wide, but are more effective up top, and both prefer to play there. Are we going to go 4-3-3 with either Sturridge or Balotelli out wide, or a diamond with Sterling in behind the two of them?

Both will play up top.

Sterling or Coutinho as #10

Width from the full backs, Hendo the runner from the middle.

Jones, Sahko, Flano, Can, Lallana, Markovic, Lambert

I reckon, though Rodgers will have a couple of tactical ideas I imagine. Him being the coach an' all.

I really hope we still sign a class number 7 since it's still open. Think if United get their signings it'll be a tough task.

Tough task signing a world class number 7 or getting top 4 ?

Have you watched Uniteds opening 2 games ?

You could have told us about that before and we could have avoided pages and pages of debates about our need for another striker

Well done man, a great bet.

googled eyes

Eto'o must really fancy moving to Liverpool. Seems he's about to sign for Everton

Mickalus

Off to the match now, in with the City fans which should be fun!

Last time I was at the same fixture it was 3-0 to City. Hoping for the opposite tonight.

Lucas not even on the bench......

Slattsy

Thought Manquillo played very well last week, but at the same time i can understand why he'd start that lethargic ballocks Johnson.
Delighted no Lucas near the team, so we have a chance.

Feck it, 2-1 to Liverpool!

Sorry on my phone

Sky presenter: "what does Balotelli bring?"

Rodgers: "trouble!"

Sideshow Mark

I think the writing is on the wall for Lucas now.

On the way to the game!

Slattsy

Rodgers; has an answer (the right one) for everything.

Seems happy to be back at City....

Weird seeing that logo on his trackies

Think having toure on the bench is unnecessary, could have suso or ibe there instead.

That annoys me too.

GotTheTshirt

Absolutely delighted with our new signing. A player I always wanted us to sign but never thought it realistic.
It's only happened due to poor choices on his part(edit to say, choices he has made in his career to date, not his most recent choice!) but it looks like he realises it's time to get the head down and show the world the player that he could become, hopefully we look back next summer and realise how the stars aligned for him and the club.

Welcome Mario, now show us what you got.

~Rebel~

Such a strong bench compared to last year - especially considering we still have Balotelli and Lallana to come into the fold.

Two very different attacking options, and a strong dynamic midfielder, as well as very solid defensive options.

Luap

Lovren first goal, you all heard it here first!

kevohmsford

Hopefully we can get a decent result tonght. Very happy to get Mario Balotelli.
