Team for tonight, Lambert captain.

Mignolet
Manquilo Toure Sakho Enrique
Rossitier Lucas
Markovic Lallana
Sterling
Lambert (c)

Good opportunity for Rossiter.
Nice for Lambert being captain, wouldn't have reckoned Mig' is suitable and to be fair to Lucas he's not really in our plans I imagine so BR is thinking about this season rather than seasons past, good to see.

Indeed, it's the 3rd round.

Atta boy Rossiter!

jcsoulinger · 23-09-2014 7:56pm

I thought Gerard was rested! :-)

LOAN WATCH mini edition

Ibe - starts for Derby at left wing foward League Cup tie
Assaidi - starts for Stoke
Coates - starts at Sunderland left centre back League Cup tie
Brad Smith - starts for Swindon Town in Johnstone's Paint Trophy

Vicxas · 23-09-2014 8:08pm

Tell you what. I've really missed Enrique

~Rebel~ · 23-09-2014 8:12pm

Enrique always reminds me of Jean Reno.

Harry Palmr · 23-09-2014 8:36pm

Listening to Arsenal v Soton. Wayama and "Schniderlin" seem to be running the show.

I'm watching it and they haven't been a very slow tempo game neither side controlling it anywhere

Vicxas · 23-09-2014 8:41pm

Everton could be low on confidence come the weekend if results stay as are.

Good for us.

Won't make the slightest bit of difference.

It's the derby, so all form goes out the window.

Mignolet??? Captain? One of the least vocal keepers we've had in years - no way should he be near the captaincy.

You make a fair point, but Lambert is a new signing and has only played a handful of games. But in terms of seniority, in the absence of other captain like qualities, I would have thought Lucas

****, borough just scored

osnola ibax · 23-09-2014 9:05pm

And Mig was crap again ffs

Quite an unnecessarily rude way of replying.

Do you really think it's not a valid point that in general it's a good idea not to look too much into the language used in a translated interview, and instead look at the spirit of the message?

Obviously you're in a superior position to most on this one instance, as you aren't dealing with a gap in knowledge - you know the language. I will always err on the side of caution if I can't hear/understand the words coming directly from the person. As soon as it's going through a 3rd party, there's the potential for bias or misinterpretation.

He's pissed off after having been shown the door. Now's he's back in Denmark he lets off a bit of steam. Makes sense.

You were the one being superior by dismissing an interview, simply because it was given in another language. I don't think Agger said anything unusual or out of character. And its not like it was one word in a single sentence, that got deliberately taken out of context.

Harry Palmr · 23-09-2014 9:36pm

Everton thumped 3-0 by Swansea, but Liverpool are just ****e right now so it really makes no odds.

monkey9 · 23-09-2014 9:41pm

I knew this season would be a struggle once Aspas left, but this is ridiculous.

garra · 23-09-2014 9:48pm

I know its early in his career but Markovic looks nothing exceptional to me, he has the odd flash of brilliance but fades away again. Reminds me of Patrick Berger in looks and playing style. Are Markovic & Sterling the same age?

I'd sell him tbh.

Hopefully we'll be ahead early enough that he can come off early in the second half. Definitely hope more than expectation though.

Hopefully he'll be full of beans on Saturday morning, sure let's keep floggin him anyway.

Id go as far as to rescind his contract

ebbsy · 23-09-2014 9:55pm

When we play Madrid it is going to be a steamrollering.

Migs positioning was not Good, but all of that could have been Avoided had Sakho not been Daydreaming.

Lallana followed the Boro Player all the way, nicked the Ball, then gave it to Sakho easy.

Sakho, who is under no pressure and with plenty of available Liverpool Players, decided to Pass it to the one that's Covered by 2.

Boro got it back and then Sakho got Penalized for the Handball. Then the Rest as they say, was History.

Would we get our money back? Go for it yeah

One of his lauded attributes when joining was pace, not evident tonight. Am happy to bide my time for a while but he aint delivering yet and I'm not convinced he will.

Grayditch · 23-09-2014 10:06pm

Fairly confident heading to the Bernabeu, now.

5starpool · 23-09-2014 10:09pm

At least we have been much better in the last 10 mins anyhow. Not over yet though of course.

Oops, thought this was the match thread.

SuperTortoise · 23-09-2014 10:11pm

Nowhere near a tv but it sounds painfull watching,

SuperTortoise · 23-09-2014 10:12pm

Also, what's with starting sterling?

Raif Severance · 23-09-2014 10:15pm

Lallana has been Quality. MOTM for me.

Fescue · 23-09-2014 10:15pm

Lallana has been excellent tonight. Such a clever player. Will be a big asset to us this season.

Oh sterling!

Coates - 46 mins for Sunderland in 1-2 defeat against Stoke
Brad Smith - 68 mins for Swindon Town in 1-2 win Johnstone's Paint Trophy

Suso scores who'd have thunk it? That a now very fringe player who is on his way to Milan, maybe as soon as January, is pretty damning really.

Started was strange enough but to be on 120minutes is ridiculous.not sure what Rodgers Is at playing him all game.

kfallon · 23-09-2014 10:16pm

Our defenders are all just one big disaster waiting to happen!

You could see that peno coming a mile off

Raif Severance · 23-09-2014 10:17pm

We do like Shooting ourselves in the Foot. :mad:

tok9 · 23-09-2014 10:18pm

Could I get a bit more Suso this season please?

Seriously though what does Markovic do? I thought he was a pacey winger but he didn't really try to beat anyone. Had some nice touches.. an awful lot of passes back and 2 great opportunities to shoot where he decided to pass.

I've no problem giving him time but I'm just a little confused at what I'm watching.
