Yup. LFC to lose 4-3. Rickie hat-trick and Lovren ineptitude, please.

Going to be watching the game with my two Palace-supporting housemates, so makes my choice of who to support even easier.

I'll then become a Hull fan shortly before 16:00.

I'd take that. Still amazed that Toure isn't playing ahead of Lovren.

Rodgers drops Balotelli and starts Rickie Lambert against Palace, alongside Adam Lallana. Maybe the penny has dropped, eh?

Balo injured

Lallana to Lambert---goal.

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Torn on this one...I wish Lambert well, but not Liverpool. Perhaps Liverpool could lose 4-3 but SRL get a hat trick.

 

[- Doing The Lambert Walk]

Made up for him.

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Should have been playing him more than that waste of space, Balotelli. Rickie would always work for you and, given game time, would get even better.

 

[tomw24]

What a good goal as well.

 

[TheSecondStain]

What's his PL goals to minutes played ratio..? Better than Balotelli's, that's for sure.

 

[TheSecondStain]

Good 1-1

[Paddy Podped]

I hope the dubious goals committee give that as a GK own goal...

Lallana mouthing off after a Johnson hand ball.

Come on, Punch. Do it for Saints (oh, and Crystal Palace ).

Is it my imagination or has Rickie put some weight back on?

Wouldn't surprise me. He looked quite chubby during the first game of the season. Liverpool have let him go to seed, somewhat. Bad club.

...Is it my imagination or has Rickie put some weight back on?

..... sitting on his arse every week doesn`t help I suppose.

 

[Lemons and Oranges]

Did he also claim to give Gareth Bale his first protein shake, sprint training session and kick of a football?

I think you'll find that Redknapp attended Bale's birth, and cut the umbilical cord

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Delighted Rickie has scored. Even more delighted that Gayle has equalised.

 

[TheSecondStain]

I see Redknapp has done a write up about it's down to Lowe why our academy is so good.

It's undeniable that Lowe played a part. But whenever articles come out they always talk about Walcott, Bale and OXO. They hardly ever mention Shearer, Le Tissier, Wallace trio, Williams, and a host of others, including Channon, Chivers, Paine, Sydenham, etc... from the beginning of my supporting era.

The club has been doing it for decades and decades, not just the last 10-15 years. Lowe put in more infrastructure and gave the Academy a higher profile, but to say it's all down to him is just utter uninformed poppycock.

 

[----HistoryRepeating----]

Indeed. And 'Arry was not quite as complimentary about Rupes in his book, but that doesn't sells todays paper does it. Good ol' wide boy.

Isn't the reason they don't mention them because it predated the academy and related to the YTS scheme.

Yeah we did produce a lot of players before Lowe's academy initiative, but we had a very lean spell in between.

It was obvious when Lowe was interviewed about the academy's future prospects he didn't really know what he was talking about.
