Interesting team then. Guess we can assume Carragher, Coates and Robinson will complete the back four. Not ideal for Henderson to try and impress at right back, but the lad will want to play and will fancy his chances of pushing Wisdom aside for the PL games (unless Rodgers reverts to Johnson/Enrique full back pairing).
You've got to feel sorry for Henderson - shifted to right back with the wailing banshee that is Jamie next to him all game. He needs games in the middle.
Heard anything on Robinson mate? Must be shoe-in surely.

It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.
I think Henderson should be starting games in the middle now, but if he does a good job at right back then he could well make the position his own for a while. Our only senior right back is playing at left back.There's a danger with him that he could be the sort of player Rodgers just throws in the team in any position we're short of an option. He's already played in 4 positions this season without playing many games.
The lads only 22 and it will improve him as a player by playing in different positions. Rodgers wants players who are versatile. I think Hendo has a chance of making it here once Gerrard and Sahin retire or get injured/go back to Madrid.
Gerrard's going to Madrid?
We've won 18 titles, 5 European Cups, 7 FA Cups, but today must be the greatest victory of all.
we need to start yesil. keeping him on the bench is no good what if we have injuries and he doesnt get on? we need another striker to have some game time if luis gets injured needs resting and giving him ( yesil) a full game keeps him semi match fit.
Playing I think.
Good - no more than I expected though.
He is starting according to Big Bear. Normally spot on with his team news.Jones, Henderson, Coates, Carragher, Robinson, Allen, Shelvey, Cole, Downing, Yesil, Assaidi
Sahin's retiring?
I hope to see both Yesil and Morgan at some point tomorrow. I really can't understand why they haven't been on the bench this season. Take the Stoke and Everton games as an example where it would do no harm throwing one of them on for the last 10 minutes. Yes, neither of their overall games are good enough for the Premiership yet, but if the ball falls to them in the box they can put it in the net. It is the one thing that has disappointed me about Brendan so far.
That's quite a good assesment of Brendan then, isn't it? Quite a luxury disappointment. He's done very well so far in my view, Brendan, and I think your post is a good example of it.
You won't see Morgan, he's playing in NextGen.
I shall be attending this match. I presume Joe Cole will get a game. Reina too. If Reina doesn't start then I expect him to take back his first team duties at Newcastle. I want to see Enrique so he can get match fit because the only way he can get better is by playing.
Is that what they've called the u21 league?
Managers who have won fewer than three European Cups: Ferguson, Mourinho, Guardiola, Saachi, Hiddink, Hitzfeld, Clough, Happel, Trapattoni, Cruyff, Michels, Lobanovsky, Capello, and many more.Managers who have won three or more European Cups: Bob Paisley
Not really, although I'm sure he'd like the win, we've got bigger fish to fry in the league. I'll tell you what is 'highly embarrassing' though. You making a piss poor effort at pretending to be a Liverpool fan. Manc.
The Joe Cole thread is locked. Probably his most important LFC game if selected against Swansea.It's his last chance to impress really.If he doesn't have a good game then that would surely mean he will leave in January. Chance he will partner Allen with Shelvey pushed further up.Not sure if that would be wise against Swansea's midfield.Still I'm confident in Rodgers to get the team right.
That stuff about Cole assumes that someone would buy him in Jan after noone bought him in the summer. Not sure who would. Sadly, I reckon we've still got several seasons of him hanging about on exorbitant wages.
It's an article about Doni where there is no mention of Doni by the journalist, anybody at the club or even Doni himself. Some of the worst editing I´ve seen that!
