Conflicting reports about sturridge. Sky has him back. Where as a few other places have him ruled out.

Could use him second half against Everton.

I'd start him then take him off on the 60 mark regardless of score. If he's fit enough to be in the squad go for it.

I dont think i have seen Balotelli run/sprint for us yet.

Is this just an indication of how deep teams are sitting against us

apparently David N'gog is missing/AWOL:

Nobody Has Seen Former Liverpool Striker David N’Gog For Six Days
Former Liverpool striker David N’Gog has gone missing and has not been seen by anyone in over 6 days.

N’Gog rang his new club Reims on Saturday to let them know he would not be travelling to play against FC Lorient. The club sent a doctor to the player’s hotel room, as is standard practice. The doctor diagnosed him with gastroenteritis and after his visit, N’Gog disappeared.

The hotel staff tried several times to call his room but failed to get an answer. There was no sign of N’Gog or any of his personal belongings when they checked the room earlier this week. His whereabouts are unknown.

I had all the jokes written for that instantly, but nah, that could be something serious. Odd one, that.

Hope he's okay.

Sounds like most of his matches at anfield.

Is he missing from his family or just awol from club?

I'd imagine it's the latter? Hope so anyway

Nice goal against utd, great lad hope he is ok.

It looks like the days of watching U18 and U21 games are over. LFCtv is dropping live matches due to costs if this is to be believed

Well that's pathetic. Shows the actual priority of fans needs. All we are then is purely a revenue source. Might as well drop the whole TV channel.

Might mean more fans actually going to the games though, kind of like not showing 3pm PL games on tv live was originally for that reason

Very little I'd say, and if that was actually the reason at least it would make some sort of sense in a way, but it's nothing to do with that.

Does anyone know how you get entry to Anfield if you forget your fancard?

Do they issue you a paper ticket or whats the process?

Yeah, just go to the ticket office before game with proof of ID and membership number. They'll issue you with a paper ticket.

What's if it's not you but a mate going to the game on your card?

I'd imagine you might have to get him to call you from the office and you can confirm details over the phone....not sure if that would work, try calling ahead and ask the question, give them the heads up that he'll be showing up

Might still be ok, they aren't too strict in my experience. Just bring as much info (receipts, ticket confirmation etc) as you can. Maybe call ahead too, as above

Cheers lads

Not at the standard we needed for sure. Despite lacking quality he scored more goals for LFC than Andy Carroll and Stewart Downing combined.

Not bad for a lad we picked up for 1.5m and sold on for 4m.

A mate eh?

There's a thread on IK as well that might be able to help. Would be interested if I could get over but not feasible. I'm still monitoring the ticket threads in the hope of a ticket for Wednesday. Thought there were more released today but I called up too late.

Been clamping down on this in recent years is my experience. Might be ok but if I was yr mate, I'd be slightly nervous. Our local supporters club has tried to outlaw this completely. Everyone does it though.

I was undecided on Mario but I said you know what, feck it.

He might grow up, he might work hard for team and his goals might outweigh his daft attitude.

The club knows best, what's the worst that could happen.

Still early in his Liverpools career but I'm always thinking Why Mario, Why always you.

We've all worked a with similar type of character and it never really ends well.

He'll probably score a couple in the Derby:)

I think everyone is off gathering supplies for when they are hiding behind the couch :P

Must say I'm very confident that we will be right at it today. I think the switch to 4-2-3-1 is absolutely necessary defensively. I don't think we will be as exciting to watch but hopefully we will be better all round. Balotelli to score.

Tangatagamadda Chaddabinga Bonga Bungo

Comfortable 5 - nil to Liverpool today. I'm so confident I'm putting them in my double with Southampton. :cool:



a €3 double

Spook80

Have a feeling Gerrard will have a motm performance to silence the critics especially since its Everton. I'd like to see Suso start ahead of Markovic with Markovic competing from the bench for a while.
I'm unsure how I'd like to see our defence line out. Reintroduce Skrtel or give Lovren and Sakho time to develop a long term partnership.

klose

I take it sakho is injured as he's not on the bench today?

robz150

BBC.....

Liverpool start with Lazar Markovic, Mario Balotelli and Adam Lallana but there's no Daniel Sturridge in the squad.

Pilsbury Doughboy

Might have been common knowledge but I didn't know Coleman was injured, that's handy.

Dropped I'd say for Toure, who can cover right back.

There's even more accident-prone that Sakho is.

Fowler87

Ridiculous no Sakho in the squad:rolleyes:

MR NINE

Surprised sakho didn't make the squad. Either he's injured, he's out coz toure covers right back, or else Rodgers is giving up on him for the time being. Id say it's the toure thing

MR NINE

Also disappointed to see Lambert make the bench ahead of borini

Osmosis Jones

Rossiter and Williams warming up with the squad today.

livinginkorea

Should have got it over the wall

Gbear

Not convinced Markovic is quite ready for these sorts of games.

He's looked relatively neat and tidy but he's seemed to play within himself a little bit. Not sure is that him being sensible or whether he'd be better off trying things and failing.

Mind you, we don't have buckets of options today.

Agent Coulson

I think Markovic needs to go on the same bulking up and work out programme that Sterling started about this time last season.
