Would love to see Milner back in Midfield. Need a commanding figure in there.

He has never been that for us in the games he's played there.

Milner's best games for us were as a right winger late last season IMO.
Played some great games there in the Europa especially.
If we were switching to a 3-5-2/3-4-3 set-up, I'd have him as the right wing back - use his defensive and offensive abilities there.
Wouldn't be mad about putting him back in the centre, really. Think we have better options there.

If someone in midfield could feed the ball to Mane adequately when the time is right we don't need the right wing back really. I reckon milner could do that in CM.

Fair enough he hasn't been a great CM for us when he played there but we never had a winger then either.

Surely you'd be laying the crap out of that. We're not out of the race, but 11/8 is far too stingy.

Horse bolted sort of thing, we were too short a few games ago IMO

11/10 now.... betting wise us, Utd & arsenal fighting it out for 4th. We are biggest priced of the 3.

City 2/11 & spurs 1/3.

The 11/8 immediately after Leicester game didn't last too long... not too many willing to lay at that price

Looks like we are expected (betting market) to return to 2ppg soon

Honestly what we are missing this season is Sakho delivering the ball out from defence at pace for our midfield/attackers who are ready on the half turn.

I'd say Mane would love a ball coming at him with pace for him to run onto.


Way too many sideways and backwards passes and nothing at pace in this team Coutinho, Firmino, Lallana & Mane who all thrive off the pace of a ball to there feet.


Sakho's aggression is also being missed.


Sakho isn't the total answer to what is missing from this team but adding him to it would have improved us.

Bang your head? :pac: If Sakho was the total answer Liverpool wouldn't be in the slump they're in.

Didn't think it was possible to get injured in a rehab session.

Don't think Sturridge will do much when he leaves in the summer his body won't sustain playing more regularly.

Well I think the some on here have proved the saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" Sakho was never very consistent add to that his antics off the pitch and he's lucky to be at CP imo.

You nearly have to admire Sturridge at this stage. Just when you think he can't possibly get any more injured....

Harry Palmr

Only Sturridge (as a professional sportsman) could be laid low by flu for three weeks.

BorneTobyWilde

I said Sturridge would play less than 200 more minutes for Liverpool back in Jan. I was dismissed.

As soon as we got knocked out of both cups it was hard to see him get game time, unless we had injury problems

Still take him above any of our other centre-halves bar Matip. And even he's looked shaky himself lately.

If you were writing a sitcom on Daniel Sturridge's career. Getting the flu during warm weather training and getting injured doing injury rehab would have to be included.

Well I disagree, but he's not an option now so we may aswell forget about him atleast until the summer, It will be interesting to see how he gets on at CP, I would hope he does well so he may have some value in the summer.

I got a viral infection of my glands last year around this time and was ****ed for weeks. Some 'flu' viruses are worse than other.

Yes but that's you, I'd give you a free pass as you probably wouldn't spend 4 months of the year in traction because you got out of bed too quickly one morning. Whereas with Sturridge that really could happen on any morning :pac:

martyos121

He went down injured on Monday
Picked up the flu on Tuesday
He was getting scans on Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday pain pills on Sunday

Don't think it'll catch on in the Kop unfortunately.

Probably done before but the Erasure song springs to mind....Where? where? where were you?....

So annoyed he's injured when we need a finisher.

J Mysterio

Milner is probably a leader in the example he sets but none of Leiva, Lallana or Milner are great talkers on the pitch. Maybe Milner to an extent.

Hendo actually tells people what to do, congratulates players on a good tackle or run and gives a bollocking when someone screws up. More leaders needed.

At this stage Sturridge is like an aul injury prone horse that should be shot and put out of its misery.

Harry Palmr

Oh dear, our moral high horse has just been shot! :mad:

The ECHO understands that members of the Saudi royal family will be guests tomorrow at the Liverpool v Arsenal game, but any investment deal set to be announced does not involve a stake in the football club but a link-up with club kit providers New Balance.

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/saudi-investment-agreement-announced-liverpool-12687560

Call me old fashioned but this is just what I don't want, everyone knows about the Saudi's funding of Wahhabi terrorism (which they say they have stopped) and the club doesn't need their money not even when filtered through New Balance.

Of all the Middle Eastern countries I didn't want to have anything to do with Liverpool Saudi Arabia is no.1

To be fair you'd have a hard time finding one that's remotely acceptable on any grounds.

Id say it's hard to find any country that isn't currently as corrupt as **** and exploitative of other places or one that doesn't have a history of such.

Harry Palmr

Hmm Saudi's history of funding extreme Islam and it's use of religious policing within the kingdom is worst than most by a large measure.

There's a massive difference between giving money to a private enterprise from a country who once did a bad thing and directly giving money to a state who will use that money to spread terrorisim and associated dangerous bull**** on an industrial scale because of some childish false equivalent about how "the man" is all one and the same.

J, so is your grammar.

One of the things I hate about football is the necessity of massive money (Leicester last year aside), success is directly proportional to players wages iirc. I mean Rooney is on 300k a week ffs. It's a sham and the only way to compete is to get a rich gangster to buy the club... **** that..
If I do lose interest in football in the future this is likely to be the number 1 reason (honourable mention to bus parking 'tactics' :P)

I feel exactly the opposite of this.

Winning a few more games of football means **** all compared to actively supporting and profiting a frankly horrendous regime.

At the end of the day the results of football matches don't matter.

You may be supporting the wrong club there, mick.

Liverpool FC has a long, long history of being a leftist club and proud of it, too.
