Scholes m8, shut the fuck up.

Popping up every few days to have a jab at the club - "concerned" about this, "skeptical" about that. Retrain as a postman or something. Buy an easel and some crayons.

It's been said many times before, but it really is odd that he was so quiet in his playing days, but now we're in the midst of a fucking barrage of simplistic, widely-held opinions dressed up as 'I'm saying what everyone is thinking but afraid to say'

Strikes me as a man who has realised he has no future in coaching, and is making hay while the sun shines

Bayern Tiki Taka against Manchester City.

The match Pellegrini understood it's fucking stupid to play two pure strikers against modern top class sides (even if you have a fantastic squad yourself), plus no defensive midfielder. Both Negredo and Aguero were just standing, waiting for the ball. Think Muller commented on it too.

Worked better when he played 4-5-1 in Munich with Garcia in the middle.

The silver lining on this shitty cloud is that the fixtures until the derby are totally winnable without Sturridge. Means we would have to abandon the diamond formation which takes Sterling out of the middle though. There's no way will we start with Balo + Lambert/Borini, though I wouldn't mind trying that out for a game. Get to see Lallana and Markovic too.

I hope Wenger gives Ospina his chance in our goal. Not sure if he's better than Szczesny but his stats are better. That's not everything though.

Cool.

Ipswich fan here. So there's really no point being in a thread about football.

Chris Kiwomya tore us apart some years back and since then I have always respected Ipswich.

When I was a small lad I went for a pint to Ipswich. I met club legend Mick Mills on that day. Since then I never looked back! Ipswitch m8!

It's mad how the majority of Sturridge's injuries happen with England.

I wish we could just not fucking send him.

Another reason to despise International football, beyond the obvious.

I need some Wispa bites to calm down. If it's a full blown rupture and he's out for months I won't be held responsible for my actions. If it's just a few weeks of Mario supported by wingers then I'm okay.

Where do Lallana and Markovic fit into Liverpool's diamond? Both at the tip, where Sterling plays?

Or in a switch to 433?

Both can play at the tip or out wide.

Hopefully the three around Balotelli will be quite fluid and interchangeable. We need to create havoc in some form and shit the opposition up sufficiently around the obvious Balotelli madness.

Terrible, absolutely terrible.

I'm having Wispa Bites and a Sports Direct mug of tea for breakfast.
Then Football Manager.
Then I'm having a steak which I picked up yesterday evening for 75p, reduced down from £4 (with chips).
Then Football Manager.
Then I'm at a house party.

I'd trade all of the above for Liverpool versus Aston Villa.

I would very much like it if international football (outside of WC) was just abolished.

Who wants to see shitty internationals two weeks into the new season..

If I don't eat it in the next ~8 hours it almost certainly will be.

Reduced beyond belief. Last chance saloon. Tesco had no choice. I bought two last night. One's frozen, the other one's going down my throat relatively soon.

I hope Neymar received CPR swiftly after that awful challenge. Has anybody heard how well he's recovering?

FM 2D match engine Bro here too by the way.

How bad is Sturridge's injury? Been out of the loop since it was first announced.
Click to expand...

Nobody knows yet.

Telegraph reporting three weeks.

Twitter reporting longer.

Sturridge sounded distraught on Twitter, so it's whether you think that indicates a large injury or just disappointment at missing out on an England qualifier and some important Liverpool fixtures.

Praying for three weeks. Wouldn't surprise me if it was three months.

13 minutes at the end.

And wow Neymar, is that 10 on your back your squad number or tumble score?

That''s enough time in a friendly lol. Thankfully he didn't get injured. They'll send him back to Manchester now.


Its Lambert's time to shine for Liverpool.
