Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers wants his players to "man up" in the face of injuries as they look to battle through until January with a limited squad.
The Reds have only two senior strikers after failing to replace Andy Carroll, who joined West Ham on loan.
"We are going to be stretched to the limit between now and January,"

"I've spoken to the players and told them if you get little niggles or little injuries you've got to man up."

Congrats, Brendan.

The pitch looks a nightmare to be honest. There's Saville-esque first touch's allover the pitch from both sides.

 

[ShogunX]

Well i'm glad you proved me wrong, thanks for settling the Cleverley debate.

How exactly can I prove you wrong? I don't see Cleverly as a stand out player - You do. The only thing that can prove either one of us to be wrong or right is time itself. Sadly I cant control it.

 

[Salvadora]

Poland look up for this.

 

[ShogunX]

Poland look up for this.

Teams always look up for it against England purely because of how much space and possession we surrender.

Just out of interest, what 'stats' would it take for a 23 year old central midfield player to stand out for you?

Considering that some people practically worship him as a god, how bout walking on water for a start

 

[pulga]

I'd like to direct all your Cleverly moaning and focus on this godly picture:

Jack Wilshere and Bacary Sagna both played 90 minutes in a training ground friendly against Chelsea on Wednesday.

It begins.

I never thought Borini was anything more than decent at Roma. I bemoaned his inclusion in the Italian national team for the Euros, and he subsequently hasn't featured (and, hint, this has nothing to do with him moving to a foreign league). He's mobile and decent holding up the ball but I don't think he's £10m worthy at the moment. He's young so he might get there but not in today's market.

 

[Clegg]

Surely Liverpool will have to buy a striker in January.

They fucked up massively by not getting one in Summer.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Think there will be a red in this match

 

[Salvadora]

Surely Liverpool will have to buy a striker in January.

20 million for Sturridge.

 

[dc89]

Just seen that. 3 months out. Ouch!

Cos Hodgson doesn't have a clue.

Added a link to my post.

Edit. FFS. Not again.

Macheda for free pls.

 

[fadetoblack]

Seriously. I've always thought with his pace and strength he'd do very well in England. And he'll only have 6 months on his contract in January so we'd take next to nothing. Actually, we'd probably take nothing.

 

[confuziz]

cleverly is already 23? pff.. I can name at least 10 players that are better and younger than him.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Awful.

 

[Salvadora]

Is Jenkinson one of them?

 

[Tc91]

This is a massive management fuckup on Liverpools part.

If they knew he was injured then why keep playing him?

United did this with Vidic and he's out for another six weeks.

Cause they didn't buy another striker lolol.

Bet they wish they had Andy Carroll now. He's better than having no backup striker if Suarez gets injured diving for a penalty.

 

[confuziz]

Is Jenkinson one of them?

In his position.

 

[3Sixty]

Text book long ball play to Defoe.

 

[Meier]

Great pass by Milner there.

doicare must be having an aneurysm. England with 56% of the possession but half the shots of Poland.

20 million for Sturridge.

That'd be 3m to City. We're rich!

Wonder what Meus makes of that.

 

[Broder Salsa]

So I see the Swansea players are complaining about Laudrup, that took even less time than I imagined but it always happens with his, the arrogant prick.

Do Opta track that stat? If they did then it would be 100% walking on water per game.

I could do with a laugh, name 10 central midfield players who are younger than 23 and are 'better' than him.

 

[Garjon]

Have we made a sub yet? We need someone to hold the ball up more effectively.

 

[Timurid]

fucking glik and his handballs

 

[Ushojax]

JD y u no score

 

[3Sixty]

Defoe lol

 

[fadetoblack]

How did that not go in? Fucker.

 

[WJD]

Please put Welbeck on.

Lol, I love the guy, whatever he does. TBH with you, the English players are such fickle group. One week they love him, the next, they blmae him.

He is arrogant though.

5 of them from Everton.

 

[Meier]

My god how did he not score there?! :O

 

[Garjon]

Gerrard's the only one trying right now, some great crosses from him.

 

[Arnie]

Surprise surprise, against a competent team Cleverley looks out of his depth. So overrated. If he played for Villa he wouldn't be near this starting lineup.

Striker needed for Liverpool in January goes without saying, and was required before Borini got injured. Levandowski plz Brenny.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Skills by Clevdog to run it out of play

Ow my ass

Is Evilore really that good? I did watch Dortmund here and there, but from what I have seen its a more collective effort, rather than a singuler influence.

He had that miss against City as well.

 

[dc89]

WHITE PELE!!

:lollolololol

 

[Garjon]

Haha Rooney. Awful performance from him.

 

[Salvadora]

:lol Rooney.

 

[fadetoblack]

England need a top striker.

Haha so butthurt.

 

[kharma45]

Super Joe Hart.

 

[Ushojax]

Lol Hart

 

[Meier]

Damn, that was too easy.

 

[fadetoblack]

Fucking England.

 

[WJD]

Joe De Hart

 

[Timurid]

GLIK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FORZA TORO!!!!!!!

Same thing happened to him in Brøndby, Spartak Moscow and Getafe, think even Mallorca but I can't remember for sure, so the clear pattern of him being terrible at man management is there.
