It must have happened in the England training camp.....FFS Roy, england will win nothing if you keep getting him injured
Tick-Tock...... a season gone off the rails due to one player getting injusred.....or a manager being rumbled
I called him out over a year ago mate, as I thought he was a bullshitter riding the wave off the back of Suarez. He's definitely been rumbled and the reds can now see it.
Hi srant at Roy for putting Sturridge out was amazing......then he breaks down while under the care of Liverpool Comedy gold, I woul dlove to moan about our current injury list and how Mirallas would be flying right now.....But I am not a silly RS
Exactly. We lost Barkley for 2 months at the start of the season, we've since lost Stones & Mirallas, now Barry, Alcaraz and Pienaar. With Baines, Coleman and McCarthy all doubts for the weekend and Kone's dead ffs. The RS lose Weetabix legs Sturridge and Rodgers just can't get a tune out of them. What would they be like with a genuine injury crisis ffs?
After watching him in the two games he played in the EL against us I would wait till the summer. He had no joy from our backline and was well marshelled by Hibbert at Goodison.......Thats TONY HIBBERT! He needs to get goals from Lambert and Borini.... But he has tried to force Borini out in the summer, plus he is gash. Lambert gets very little playing time and Rodgers is too set in his ways to play to the feet of a target man and build/link play that way. All this after him being pushed as a tactical god.
I've seen him play a lot and he's great at keeping possesion, holds the ball up well and pushes defences back. Only problem is he doesn't score many. To me he's the kind of player that does well up top with a goal scorer or with attacking midfielders who can get beyond him. I can see him working well if our midfield can feed off him and when Studge is fit but he's certainly not going to get a load of goals himself.
Nothing I saw made me think he would do anything. He liked to drift out wide in the away game... If he doesn't give many goals.....why would he play ahead of others who dont add goals to the team?
I think he may work as a link, Balotelli is supposed to but just stands around shrugging occasionally. I don't really know how it'll work it's very much a long shot from Rodgers but imo anyone is better than Balotelli so I would welcome him.
But you already have Lambert who has played that role in the PL and has an understanding with Lallana. Rodgers is obsessed with getting pace to hit teams on the break. If he is not great in front of goal what will he do when he makes a solo break??????????????????????????????????????????????????
