Match Day Thread Pre-season

Rodgers probably wants the strongest possible team out there. He obviously won't risk people like Sturridge if they are carrying injuries but the team will be a rough idea of what the line up will be against Southampton in a week.

 

Why the **** have all or games been in America? The seasons starts next week, we've not seen the strongest team yet and they've spent over a month in a different time zone meaning their body clocks will be ****ed up come next weekend! Great preparation that

Technically all of our games haven't been in America, as we play Dortmund tomorrow at Anfield

 

Yep, I've f**ked up there. Thought the kickoff tomorrow was a late one rather than midday. Still think our preparations been **** though

 

It's live on bt sport.

I won't be able to watch it though

 

And the Brondby & Preston games

 

Yeah, thats what I was looking at but thought I was later in the day than I was when scrolling through

 

They were at the start of pre-season when none of our main players were available because of a ****ty world cup

 

Good stuff

Be interesting to see the team. I'd be worried about risking injuries to anymore players just before the start of the season.

Can you imagine if Coutinho/Sterling got injured to go with Sturridge/Markovic/Lallana as our attacking options!

 

Mignolet
Manquillo Skrtel Lovren Johnson
Henderson Gerrard Can
Sterling Sturridge Coutinho​

Those are the ones who've been working with Rodgers in practice sessions, supposedly, so wouldn't be a surprise if that was the XI against Dortmund for a run out prior to the opening game

 

Would prefer Enrique for gj and Sakho for skrtel

 

Sturridge is still injured isn't he? Or at leat recovering so can't se him being risked.

Mankiller Lovren Sakho Enrique
Allen Can Henderson
Ibe Lambert Coutinho​

Wouldn't mind something like that. Give a couple of new guys their first taste of football with us while testing out a new young midfield 3 and giving the most important members of the squad a rest before next weeks game (Sturridge/Sterling).

 

Very strong team. Think this could be the team that starts against Southampton. Hoping for a good game!

 

Apart from ****ing John Glenson. Enrique is on the bench and he's starting. I just can't understand BR's thinking. Even in a friendly. Aside from that, it's our strongest team without Lallana.

 

Enrique, I presume, isn't yet up to fitness. He's been out for a long time remember.

Can someone post the team maybe?

 

Tgoa was right, this is the team -

Mignolet
Manquillo Skrtel Lovren Johnson
Henderson Gerrard Can
Sterling Sturridge Coutinho

Pissed off that Johnson is still getting into the team, you know, after being directly responsible for all three goals against utd. Enrique on the bench

 

It's what you said in the Preseason thread yesterday mate

Mignolet
Manquillo Skrtel Lovren Johnson
Henderson Gerrard Can
Sterling Sturridge Coutinho

 

Strong team.

Full backs still a weakness though.
