@LFC: Confirmed #LFC team v @Arsenal: Mignolet, Can, Toure, Sakho, Allen, Lucas, Moreno, Henderson, Coutinho, Markovic, Sterling

Don't say henderson is out on the fúcking wing!

rob316

Toure over lovren. That's his anfield career over anyway, what a shocking signing he has been.

Surely Markovic and Moreno are WB's?

@LFC: Confirmed #LFC subs v @Arsenal: Jones, Johnson, Lovren, Sturridge, Manquillo, Borini, Brannagan

Would we play with 3 in midfield though? Hendo, lucas and Allen

There are bowel movements better looking than that bench.

Mr_Muffin

Why isn't Johnson getting games these days?

Awful awful awful. So many average to crap players in that team it's not even funny.

super_furry

Lucas coming straight back in worries me. He usually takes a good few games to get back up to standard after being out injured.

Because he's muck.

Osmosis Jones

If it's 3 in midfield with Coutinho behind Sterling then it'll be interesting, hoping to not see Henderson stuck at RWB.

I'd say the shape it like this. crwod the middle and squeeze arsenal. Arsenal don't play with much with
Mignolet,
Can, Toure, Sakho,
Markovic Allen, Lucas, Moreno,
Henderson ,
Coutinho, ,
Sterling

Is my guess. Nice to see Cameron brannagan on the bench too

Agent Coulson

Is this Sturridge's .6 game so we can expect him to be injured for the Chelsea game which is 5 games away.

I can't really see any other way they can set up really unless Allen is going to sit deeper with Lucas perhaps.

Vicxas

Good grief this is amaturish stuff so far

Tipsy McSwagger

Moreno should be dropped for the rest of the season and shipped out in the summer

Tipsy McSwagger

Bye Bye Champions League

5starpool

OK then, so next year is our year, isn't it?

Guy:Incognito

The theory of having a good mid season run against weaker teams but it will be a struggle against the better ones when the harder run hits is looking a bit more likely.

Been directly responsible for goals by Man City, United x2, Arsenal now and probably a few more I can't remember.

Harry Palmr

Its just shows the importance of the "decisive moment" - Liverpool had two great chances to score at 0-0 and should have put at least one of them away.

As for the LWB, well it may be wise to put Johnson in there as galling as it is to mention him!

5starpool

Embarrassing.

noodler

Shambolic.

Rodgers is in trouble.

Next season could be his last.

kevohmsford

Shocking stuff. Champions League this year was always going to be a huge ask.
Very disappointing.

kfallon

We play a WB system with two of the worst WB's ever!

LuckyLloyd

And now the walls close in

delw

Looking forward to the excuses today :mad:

Guy:Incognito

A win and 2 draws (iirc) from 8 games against the likely top 4 just wont cut it.

We need a stable balance of form across the season. Going on mad runs of form to hope and pull off a decent position isnt really a sustainable system.

Agent Coulson

The system was found out weeks ago against the weaker teams who just didn't have the fire power to beat us.

rob316

Dire. Arsenal going to get revenge for last year I feel. Not sure I can watch anymore to be honest.

Kerrigooney

After a quiet couple of days I have a feeling the posts are gonna go through the roof after this...

kfallon

Nice to have your Saturday ruined before 2pm.....

super_furry

Well that's that for another season. Rodgers has got it badly wrong today.

Its not a policy! The shi'te early season form meant the top 4 cup was only a slim chance, we got carried away for a while. 5th/6th was about an 80% chance in December and its coming to pass.

SuperTortoise

This could turn into a cricket score, poor all around, i just don't understand why we don't press the ball anymore.

Coutinho the only one that stands out, how long has he left on his contract?!

A start next season like the start this season and I don't think he'd survive it.

Needs to win the cup to salvage anything from the season now.

Just signed a new deal.

Its more difficult than it sounds. It's one thing to press the likes of Reading or Burnely....this is Arsenal. They have brilliant technical footballers. They can pass it round you in an instant. It's tough.....

5 years, signed a new contract a couple of months back.

Guy:Incognito

It's all good. Spurs don't play till tomorrow so at least we cant drop below 6th till then.

Blondie919

A lot of terrible performances today. Kolo, Allen, Lucas, Moreno, Coutinho all guilty of giving the ball away stupidly. Where is Henderson? Is he still on the pitch? Markovic should learn how to play a one-two. Pass the ball, run into space, get the return. Not pass the ball, stop, go backwards. So who comes on and who goes off? Too bad we are only allowed take three players off!

Agent Coulson

He signed a £70k a week new contract and Sterling wants double it.

Coutinho will be taking to his agent soon.

drdidlittle

Lucas.......not dominant enough
Markov.......not good enough
Any combination of center backs....not good enough
Allen........."******" insert your own comments here.
Strikers.......where are they

After all the money that was spent last season we sre in a worse state than last year. Just further highlights how Swarez carried that team last season

Gbear

That's that for 4th.

5th was par at the start of the season so I suppose it's difficult to be too critical of the team, but it's incredibly bad for us long term to have failed to qualify for the CL and for having Utd and Arsenal both get it and the prestige and money that goes along with it.

We were a flash in the pan in terms of being a top club last season and this season proves it. If you have a player like Suarez you'll compete. If you can't hold on to him you won't. Players all over Europe are going to take notice.

I was hardly being serious about it being an actual system.
