    Joe Allen's second ever game for Liverpool was against City. He played brilliant and left every one saying how a big signing he was.

    and Lallana.

    I see Suso as more of an option on the wing than central.

    He's in training, so should expect him on the bench at the weekend.

    Im pretty relaxed. Even if we lose we still have more points than against the same opponents last year.

    Its Spurs I am worried about

    For Allen. Think we are playing the diamond formation. Switch back to 433 with A midfield of Gerrard Hendo and Coutinho.
    Not happy with Allen starting, here's hoping he has blinder.

    Coutinho is starting on the left so not a diamond. We only have 1 CF playing so not playing 2 up top.

    Coutinho trying some silly fancy flick and giving it away.

    Look quick on the counter though and Allen nipping in well to win the ball. That's what he does so well. No big tackles, but harassing opening into making mistakes then winning it.

    One thing I am looking for from Liverpool this season is our ability to absorb pressure without conceding and then breaking on the counter at stages of the game when we need to recover our energy from the bursts of high intensity that we were famous for last year

    We really do seem to struggle at GK's because Mig cant get the ball to the halfway line (where we have no one to win a header anyway) so he flicks it high out wide to full backs who are marked and end up heading it out or losing it.

    What a pass from Gerrard picking out Sterling's run.

    Took it down well but tricky volley on the turn.

    If only Sterling had a left foot, could have taken it in his stride and shot. Nice ball and movement though.
