Topic: Arsenal v Liverpool - Sat 2 Nov 2013 - 5:30pm KO

[ThePeetmix]

Watched Flanno plenty with the u21's. He can do a good job. Uncle Kolo will look after him! 

[KP]

Massive game today absolutely massive, win this and all he'll will break loose, lose and we are shit

 

[KP]

Mclaughlin is miles ahead of flanagan in all fairness even if Kelly isn't fit to start

No first team experience though.

[LiverpoolKopKings]

if BR thought that flanno couldn't deliver, I am sure that he would have adopted a different formation to make up for glen's loss

[John C]

Massive game today absolutely massive, win this and all he'll will break loose, lose and we are shit

How can we be shit if we lose against the league leaders at their ground. Even if we have a disappointing game we're not shit mate.


Edit
Soz abar me getting fucking whooooshed

[peelyon]

Hope it pays off. Rodgers watches him day in day out. If he thinks he's good enough that's good enough for me

[vivabobbygraham]

Blackburn away he let us down.

I thought you were waiting until after the game before commenting? Have I missed the game?

[CognacBut]

Flanno ball to set up a Sturridge winner for 1-2.

Stop moaning and get behind the lad you tarts.

[Butter Keks]

How can we be shit if we lose against the league leaders at their ground. Even if we have a disappointing game we're not shit mate.

Because that's how fans work. Win and we are title contenders, lose and Rodgers was naive in his selection, Kelly should of played and we should sell Suarez in January.

[El_Macca_17]

we had good width with G.Johnson and he was a real threat going forward, so I was hoping for a draw with him in it. But now it seems BR is gonna play defensively with Flanagan.
Agger must want to move as Vice captain cant get a game even though it would be more sensible for him to come in and Toure to play RB or RWB.

Going for 3-1 loss

Think he's talking about the response on here after.

We are John there's a thread dedicated to that fact and it also appears to bubble beneath the surface of every thread. Arsenal on the other hand, are phenomenal and clearly unbeatable with their ever so technical midfield.

[RK7]

Thing is Falanagan is already a fucking scapegoat and if we don't get a good result the poor lad will be hammered.

The manager will get hammered or praised depending on how the selection works out. Rodgers does make some strange selections and this does seem one of them.

[Djimi Smicer34]

Mclaughlin is miles ahead of flanagan in all fairness even if Kelly isn't fit to start

And he hasn't played a minute of competitive first-team football for us.  Is it any less of a risk throwing in a teenager in a top-of-the-table game away from home? 

[John C]

Because that's how fans work. Win and we are title contenders, lose and Rodgers was naive in his selection, Kelly should of played and we should sell Suarez in January.

I think we both had our plonkers pulled mate

[BER]

Rodgers must know something none of us do with this decision.

[keyop]

Very excited about this one.

Lots of pressing please, pressure them into mistakes and get the ball to SAS to do the damage.

Come on redmen!

[Titi Camara]

Fucking well nervous and well excited now! Praying we'll play a blinder and take all 3 points!

COME ON YOU MIGHTY FUCKING RED MEN!

[-Daws-]

Rodgers must know something none of us do with that decision.

Like how his team trains and each players mentality and personality? You're sure right he does.

[Butter Keks]

I was talking about the after match threads! Win? 10 pages. Lose? 30 pages.


One advantage we have in this match is that we have Coutinho who can potentially change the whole dynamic of the match should it not be going our way.

[the_red_pill]

Watched Flanno plenty with the u21's. He can do a good job. Uncle Kolo will look after him! 

These guys know it. Dunno what's gone into them now. Flanno's played many a time like a very mature player and he still has that in him. He's played in important matches and against the big teams in the past and he didn't look out of place.

[Cochise]

The manager will get hammered or praised depending on how the selection works out. Rodgers does make some strange selections and this does seem one of them.

Strange how? I'd say this is a big decision to make like but can't think of too many 'strange' decisions he's made.

[Mercer]

Good luck to Flanno.

Hope the lad does himself, and the team, proud.

[Caffeine]

Rodgers must know something none of us do with this decision.

It's almost as if he knows more about football than a bunch of bellends on a forum.

[1892tillforever]

These are the kind of calls managers sometimes have to make. If Flanagan plays brilliantly and we win, Rodgers will look like a genius but will get unfortunately get hammered if Flanagan has a poor game and we get beaten. We'll know soon enough either way! C'mon Flanagan!!!

[Sally]

The thought of Ozil and Cazorla vs Flannagan really worries me, If they turn him inside out it will cost him his confidence, and us the match.

The defenders really need to be able to cover for him

[11 friends]

Game will be won in midfield-not RB.

[SteLFC91]

I'm pretty sure Johnson has pulled out last minute, McLaughlin isn't with the squad so it was a choice between Kelly who looked way off the pace last week, Flanno or move one of Henderson or Toure last minute which would probably disrupt the team as I'm sure they've been preparing and training for this all week.

You don't really want to have to chop and change your team completely at the very last minute so putting Flanagan in for Johnson is probably the least disruptive move Rodgers could make for the team.

Hopefully he does well, just wanted to play Devil's advocate and apply a bit of sense to the situation rather than slate Flanno and Rodgers!

[Twelfth Man]

Come on Redmen, top of the League! We can do this.

[Samie]

Rodgers must know something none of us do with this decision.

yeah he does compared to no marks on here.

[John C]

Fucking come on you Redmen, see you all on the other side of a win 

[Caffeine]

Lucas giving Flanno a reassuring hug in the tunnel, top man.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Watched Flanno plenty with the u21's. He can do a good job. Uncle Kolo will look after him! 

This is a great insight!  I think this may be the reason BR does not shift things around without Johnson.

[the_red_pill]

Please... it's not the first time Flanno's going to face quality players. He's done it quite a few times before and it wasn't a biggie. Calm down lads! He played in a win against Arsenal away and a 3-0 full debut against City- amongst others! Come on!

[Trada]

Flannagans performance can not possibly be worse than some of our 'supporters' support is. I hope he has an absolute blinder and you can all look a bunch of tits, although I'm sure you'd all rather he cost us three goals so your ever so right opinions can be justified.

WTF happened to people?

I guess big game and big nerves.

[Walshy nMe®]

Thing is Falanagan is already a fucking scapegoat and if we don't get a good result the poor lad will be hammered.

Unless some twats are being serious I think most are expressing shock that he has come from nowhere to starting tonight. 

Not that they think he isn't good enough.

That's what I am trying to convey anyway, not read much else of the thread so if full of twats then please ignore

[Gerrard[LFC]]

Searches for Not Sure If Serious gif.

definitely serious.
Sensible thing to do is bring Agger or Kelly on and let experience do the rest with same tactic as last week.
This is a big gamble and I fear that we will play very defensively and it will cost us the game, thus making Flano the scapegoat and BR getting questioned about his choices. I might be pessimistic and hope I am wrong but
better to fear for the worst then getting too much hopes up.

[Cochise]

We could be top of the fucking league after this game. Imagine that you miserable bastards!!!

[Solomon Grundy]

Good luck to Flanno.

Hope the lad does himself, and the team, proud.

I hope he has a good game. Poor lad will get hammered on here if he doesn't.

[Barney_Rubble]

Let's do it.
