There simply cannot be any reason for Johnson to get any games other than in some cups matches. Really don't know what to expect from Rodgers - Gerrard will probably start, despite crying about not getting enough game time, Henderson will get shifted to RWB and I wouldn't be surprised if Lovren starts.
You know that, I know that, I have an 8 year old with no interest in footy but he knows it. The big question is why doesn't Rodgers know it?
according to articles and a flanno piece he is close so i think physioroom where that table is from simply has no update from rodgers sepaking so has not updated flanagan
For me as johnson shows no inclination to sign a new deal then surely to god rodgers has to see the truth and must simply bench the guy. others have taken up the challenge haven't they? Manquillo seems not too favoursed as RWB but markoivc did ok there last game. Can has RCB locked down in my view It would be a travesty if he walked back into team and displaced wither without them actually f'ing up.... ok if they really got scholled in a game and taken off but not unitl then.
I think Flanno is close to returning to training. Either way - he's not exactly missed. Good back up though.
Based on training, team looks like: Migs Can Skrtel Sakho Moreno Marko Hendo Lucas Sterling Coutinho Borini
i'd be happy enough as long as mr borini doesnt get sent off. prob best current team honestly with only sturridge to come
Would prefer to see Manquillo at RWB, Marko pushed up and Sterling starting. But overall, it's a solid team and I expect us to win.
I'd like to see something like this in the future... -------------Mignolet-------------- Manq--Skrtel--Sahko--Moreno -----------Can--Hendo----------- --Sterling--Coutinho--Markovic --------------Sturridge------------- I'd play the same here but Borini in for Sturridge.
