There was a brief couple of hours just after we signed Firmino. Then I think the Sean O'Driscoll links popped up and the bubble burst again...
It was actually a couple of days. I know this because I spent most of the time trying to entice him out of the good mood
I managed to drag him out of it a few times before he realise and reverted to good mood so i think he was forcing it really
Would be surprised if Firmino and Coutinho both start, having not had a preseason. Expect maybe one of Ibe or Origi
that would be the best we can hope for yes. but 4 guys can only play one game in finland for us before the stoke game so we will see.
I appreciate that, but the team was based on the speculation that we are to sign him. I doubt if Rodgers would be brave enough to play that team even if we had signed Benteke and Digne. He will probably stick with Balotelli up front and Skerts & Lovren at the back. With Joe (the incredible bouncing off opposition players when trying to tackle man) Allen alongside Lucas in midfield.
Rodgers would almost certainly play Benteke ahead of Balotelli. Allen (or Lucas) ahead of Can would be more likely though.
On the 15th of October this year the 5th anniversary of the end of the worst period in lfc history since before Shankly will come to pass. How can any lfc fan not be happy? 350 Mil spent on players, 17 5mil net is top 4 spending Stadium development actually occurring. Club breaking even. We should all look back 5 years and really remember how bad it was. Hodgson, poulsen, konchesky, Cole. 18th in league....
Because we're still not good enough. Yes, we did well to get out of the horrible situation we were in, but we've spent so much since then and for very little return. We should be in a much better position.
And we almost won the league just over a year ago. Progress is progress. Romewas not build in a day. On the first day of thatseason our team was: Reina Johnson Carragher Skrtel Agger Gerrard Mascherano Kuyt Cole Jovanovic N'Gog we drew with Arsenal but Mascherano left a few days later and Konchesky joined us. Poulson took his spot in the team.
