What a good squad we're assembling here, nowhere near the finished article, but I'll remain patient to see the summer signings. The higher we finish the better the player we can buy. Oh, glad to see Assaidi back at Melwood now that the ACON is over for him. YNWA.
"When will Coutinho start ? It's a blessing that Yaya toure & Kompany won't play. We 're performing very bad against physical players even against Arsenal with Girourd who was their only physical player. Hope BR finds some serious solution for this one very soon. YNWA"
"How proud & happy does Sturridge look in that first pic. I have a good feeling about this lad for our future. 3 in your first 5 games is quite a return."
"Although only Suarez and Gerrard are world class.. with Lucas ,Agger and Johno international class.. We still have bought/grown a group of youngsters whom any top side could be jealous of.. Coutinho,Suso,Borini,Sterling,Hendo,Allen,Sturridge,Coates,Robbo,Kelly,Wisdom,Assaidi...contd"
"No team in the league has better young players than us... 10/10 on Rodgers on this, although he does lack in tactics and selection.. But BUOYYY we have some youngsters ... Even If 3-4 of them become International class, WE could well be in for a le chase in 2 years time"
"sajuzzz, 4555555: A previous article on this site has stated that Coutinho has returned to Milan to sort some personal things out & tie up loose ends before he can return to training; I suppose it's what happens when you have to move at short notice. I understand he'll be available for the home game against WestBrom."
"Assaidi needs to star. Downing is doing much better than before but for this game lets sit him and see how things go. we need a winger who can take the game to the defenders and Assaidi is the right man. i really hope n pray we win this game."
"great energy!great motivation! everything great! and i smell a win over manc, all you got to do is lads just play the game with a high level of pace believe me you will destroy them!as we all know they can't keep up with pace. and welcome to the family coutinho!YNWA!"
"Game vs.City will be different than vs.Gunners...So,line up MUST be set with strong and experienced lads.Toure,Silva,Tevez,Agiliero,Milner...have got many fights under theirs belts.Do not defense for 70 mins.like vs.Arsenal!We need to be brave,fast and smart...And play forward,not back balls.YNWA>"
"nics pics! the lads looked like having a good mood today, hope well for Sunday... but where's Mr Rodgers?, has he maybe the flu? if it's true I wish him well and being prepared for Sunday trip to the Ethiad! Glad to see Assaidi involved in the training session, hope there will be some opportunities even for him in the remaining games of the season! Keep it up lads! YNWA"
"well the squad is looking better and better, players are breaking out of they're comfort zone's and starting to fighting for every ball and every tackle and that is progress between now and the closing of the window we are capitalizing on more players. that is extremely positive."
"Philippe is moving, he had to go and fetch his belongings in Milan, put his car,accommodations on sale. He needs to sort things out, he will be back on Wednesday I think. He will be with us for a long time so be patient. "
"great pics. hope to see assaidi on sunday. maybe he can show how wingers can go past players. lets start game with good tempo and fight to the end. then come home with all 3pts. come on redmen. you can do this.YNWA & J4T96"
"I figure the black shirts will start, the orange tops are the subs and the green are the third option. Good to see Carra in black that means he will start, we need his leadership and organization against city.As said before 'tinho is finishing up in milan, wont see him until west brom, which is good as this game was to much too soon to throw him in."
"What's this? Someone realising that we're re-builiding the team and prepared to be patient!! I totally agree. As i see it, this season is all about gaining experience and forging a close team bond. I never expected much this season but next season, the gloves are off. No matter what though, BR and the team will always have my support. YNWA"
"Look at Sturridge with the big smile on his face ,I bet he feels like a kiddy in a sweet shop now he has signed for us and playing with Suarez up front,Daniel Sturridge Y.N.W.A,"
"This is my first post and I hope it works. I would like to add to comment on a fact that I thought Luis' talent was wasted down the wing against Arsenal. Even thou he scored, but he needs to be free to roam. He should sit behind Daniel"
"Coutinho is in Milan collecting the rest of his belongings and saying goodbye to all his former team mates.. 5 goals for the mighty reds Etihad ?? Hmm imagine that... If we win, this will be a testimate to the rest of the league.. I don't care how, just please win.. 4th is round the corner ... King Suarez and Daniel on the score sheet.. Marc's to draw against fulham :-D"
"Looks like most player are on a high :) Great to see Assaidi back from ACON would LOVE for him to start getting games, maybe 25 mins v City?? Coutinho is away sorting his papers etc. read Pascoe's fitness update article says in there!! 3 pts please! YNWA "
"We should have won against Arsenal win tomorrow and Mr Grumpy down M62 can open the Champangne bottles for le nummer 20. How worse can it still go we win and make ScamUnited win the el."
"picairn16 tomorrow we have to win at any cost if we want to keep alive the hopes of european qualification, Manure won't beat Fulham, Man City would drop at the maximum just a point and could still recover as there's still the head-to-head game vs the ss to play and plenty of points for which fight. Then tomorrow we have to have sympathy! YNWA"
"I dont care who wins what out ofth other games i just want to see lfc play well and get the points they deserve. young team, young squad with terrific potential for 2 years time. BE PATIENT FRIENDS and get off their backs there will be the odd loss 2 steps forward and 1 back but it will come right YNWA"
"Hope Skertel is back in the starting lineup. We need strength and resolve against city. Yes he had a bad day at Oldham but that one time. Who doesn't. BR don't break his confidence. And HE CAN SCORE!"
"reina,johnson,agger,skrtel,enrique,lucas,gerrard,hendo,sturridge,suarez,assaidi/downing.got a feeling that it'll be a high scoring game with super hendo motm.the man's on fire"
"Usual lucky manure , the Norwegian ginga ninja gave it his best, regardless we need 3 points, back on the top table of Europe is where belong. good luck BR tomorrow But Lets believe and stop sitting back. "
"Our defence is too leaky and we concede far too many soft goals!
Its a shame when you are 2-0 up against arsenal get only 1 pt!
Lets learn how to defend from Stoke city, they are the best at defending!!!
"
"Hmmm. I think we have an excellent defence, we are just used to have a anchor midfielder or a deep defensive midfielder, and ever since Lucas got injured the first time we have not had a player in any quality for that position. We need our mifield do better. Last game they went deep with all they had same as Stoke, did quite well I think."
