More than Rossiter compliments Lucas.

Has to be good at something other than hair.

This is a madness.

It's mad this idea that we wouldn't pay a player a big wage. We already do.

RP is furious, here.

Kelly is s***. And injured. s*** and injured. Sell him to West Ham.

The most important of distinctions, this. I hate the phrase"mentally ill", by the way. Makes me feel like I'm a crazy person.

Midfield diamond wouldn't work. We're already s*** at stopping crosses. Just move the forwards back, consistently, 20 yards or the defence up 20 yards and the midfield will work better. You'll score less/concede more, though. Probably. Hard this football, lark. Just don't play that f***ing moronic 4-4-2 again.

Not the Kenny conversation. That's what this is. Let's just not have it.

We were?

It's all redundant if we continue to ask the midfield to cover so much space, really.

I agree. But I don't think he does that made team without trying to shoehorn them both in. Think the best balance is 4-2-3-1 with restrained 2 (Gerrard, Lucas typically) and Suarez behind Sturridge. Both move about so much anyway.

Didn't say I know who we're after, though. IA? It's 7 letters.

The players he'll make calls on are the players that have question marks over them: Reina, Agger, Skrtel etc. I feel like there's been games during his tenure where Suarez and Gerrard, even Henderson and Lucas have looked out on their feet but not been withdrawn. More last season than this, mind.

Oh, Glen. I hope he isn't Henchozed. He's much too young for that. Maybe it's too much maths.

Let's get one thing straight: despite his physical abilities diminishing, Steven Gerrard is still capable of brilliant things. Instead of trying to make him fit for 90 minutes, 38 games a season in a position he is ill-suited to just for the sake of getting as much Gerrard as possible, we should use him as a luxury. Use him in bursts where he can put 100% into it and be the player he can be, in situations that don't potentially expose him. I know he's the England captain, it's a world cup year and he himself probably wants as much football as he can get but sometimes you have to do to the big, brave thing. Don't know if Rodgers is capable of it, mind. You never see him making a big decision when a big player is involved.

Fixed that for you. RE: the game...urgh.

Robinson isn't and Shelvey wanted to leave while we wanted him to stay. Cissokho was always a back up for if we didn't get that Siqueira while we tried to sign all the players that weren't Moses. Sometimes s*** does't happen, especially when you're not in Europe. All this DM stuff: Rodgers obviously doesn't want one. He is building everything around Sturridge and Suarez. I wouldn't be surprised to see us not bother.

Who or what is Delaney? Would make sense for Skrtel to be up there as we don't really do defending in midfield.

Repeating the line from Ancelotti. Just parroting that, probably. I'M THAT GUY: the couple of times I've seen him I've not been blown away. Quite small as well. We love a diminutive midfielder. From what I could tell he was quite combative and got about the pitch well but that's about it. EDIT: And it is Udinese. He might be getting confused with Jorginho, but he's at Hellas Verona not Chievo.

Was always going to have struggles in his second season and he may never be as good as he was at the beginning.
