I think they're on the money, although I'm hoping for a draw or an Everton win.
Works out best for us.
Didn't you guys play Kolo and some other CB as right back a few weeks ago too? Low cover on full backs or unlucky with injuries?
Thanks! I have no idea who the rest are. Anyone extra promising?
Confirmed #LFC team v @Everton: Mignolet, Johnson, Flanagan, Agger, Skrtel, Lucas, Gerrard, Allen, Henderson, Coutinho, Suarez
Confirmed #LFC subs v @Everton: Jones, Toure, Alberto, Moses, Sturridge, Sakho, Sterling
Allen and Lucas, but no Studge. We're going for a goalless draw.

I think it's actually good that we have an extra man in midfield for these bigger games. Look what happened at Arsenal.
Think he's got the right idea bringing in an Allen. 5 midfielders... not a bad idea.
I think it means that we can push up Henderson to harass Barry and pressure the back four, without the threat of being overrun in midfield.
It's the kind of line up I think we need for these kind of games where we are not going to completely dominate possession. When we are playing the rest of the table, we can have two up front with no worry of our midfield being overrun.
Flanagan played that match too right? I remember you guys saying he had a pretty good game, right?

It's silly I agree, but lets not get into some fucking morale debate here. The other people who wanted one had just as much of a chance to pre order one, people buying them must have their reasons even if it's reasons you don't like... and so fucking what if someone has to wait a few months, it's just a new console,
He didn't make any major mistakes vs Arsenal, which is good because it was a high pressure game and his biggest flaw is his tendency to let his nerves get the better of him.
I still don't fully trust him, but I think he has potential to be a good player still, and he's got to get minutes to get there.
It's incredibly ridiculous how the mainstream retail world (everyone outside of the people hanging on forums, so most people) works compared to what the gaming side believe. They treat these consoles like they something much more than just a piece of electronics and believe everone outside GAF does too, including kids and parents.
Meanwhile, in reality, you often have these events. Parents coming in asking wtf is PS3 or X360. I show, tell them PS3 is $100 cheaper than X360 with Kinect. They got for PS3, ofc. Then their kid sees the X360 with Kinect I've set up with Angry Birds, they play it for 10 seconds and then say "I want the Kinect!!". I show them Sports, too. Parents say "Well... it's only $100 extra". They buy the X360 with Kinect. Repeat for infinity.
You have 20-30 y/o's, wanting to play Fifa, COD and NHL. I show them the consoles, they don't give a shit about Kinect, and goes for the cheapest one, PS3. Nothing asked about the UI, OS, features, controller.
Most don't give a f about the brand (compared to any other electronic). The commercials presents them with Kinect but they only come in, asking "What is that Kinect I saw on TV?". They don't go to Gamespot, IGN, it's a jungle with information and few go through that. So, basically, they walk in to a store and buy a piece of electronics, just like with everything else. Nothing more. And most importantly, very very few get to hear about those so called "major events" gaming side wants to make of them.
I worked in the TV department too, I rarely saw any difference between how these groups bought their products. "What is HD?" is always asked for TVs and very few asks about 1080p. People don't know what LED is, except for what the commercials tell them.

I didn't realise horoscopes were still a thing outside of papers on trains. People were calling up this woman on radio two asking stuff like should I get back together with my ex and should I quit my job. Like the BBC have actually paid this woman to come on and take these calls from people who want to consult the stars before they make major life decisions. And they're not doing it as a joke or anything.
Anyway, going to drive to KFC and get a boneless box /arnie

Tough one for Rodgers
If he puts Johnson on the left, he's a very good leftback and Flanagan plays in his natural position. Plus, Baines could well exploit Johnson when he gets caught up the field. Its like having to choose between the better player, and the more defensive defender
Neither option is great. Cissokho must be embarassing himself in training
Shitting it.

He did play alright mostly vs Arsenal. Slating players gives them energy. Theory confirmed.

Is Sakho injured?

Think he wants to flood the midfield, so we need 2 at CB, and neither Skrtel nor Agger (only Fulham, granted) have done anything to be dropped. Sakho is a decent LB though apparently :s
