Anfield HQ@AnfieldHQ96 2h2 hours ago Brendan Rodgers has been a long-term admirer of Benteke & wanted him last summer but was deterred by his injuries. (Dominic King) #lfc
Sam Tighe@stighefootball 2h2 hours ago Wrote a big piece on Jack Grealish on Monday and got through a lot of #AVFC footage in the process. It reminded just how few runs Benteke... Sam Tighe@stighefootball 2h2 hours ago ...makes beyond the defence, or when he does try it, he's caught offside. A major part of his game needs to change to succeed at #LFC IMO. Sam Tighe@stighefootball 2h2 hours ago His natural game doesn't appear to suit Coutinho's, so this will be an intriguing purchase to monitor. #AVFC #LFC Perfect
Carroll. Allen and Adam were also part of Brendan's plan though. Like I said, he wants premier league proven players. Its how you end up paying 92 million for Allen, Lovren, Lallana, and Benteke.
So vs Stoke: Mignolet Clyne-Skrtel-Sakho-Moreno Milner-Henderson Coutinho-Firmino-Lallana Benteke that look right?
Anfield HQ@AnfieldHQ96 6m6 minutes ago Rodgers: We felt Adam (Bogdan) has good experience and he knows England. We feel he can push Mignolet for the number one spot. #lfc
Anfield HQ@AnfieldHQ96 37s38 seconds ago With #LFC unlikely to make anymore signings, the focus will now turn to offloading Balotelli, Borini and Rickie Lambert. (Paul Joyce) #lfc
Ian Rush MBE @Ian_Rush9 43m43 minutes ago RIP Brian Hall - a truly gent!! Being from Scotland and a huge Liverpool fan, Brian Hall was a favorite of my Dad and Gramps.
Flanno is back up LB, Lucas and can will be DM most likely and we have plenty of CBs just need them to perform better.
I'm more than comfortable w/ Wisdom but I remember seeing back in late April that Flanno will be out another 9 months.
Only hope is Ilori is some kind of revelation. But let's be honest, there's no chance skrtel gets benched. They just signed him to a big, new contract
starting a new job in 2 weeks so i'll be up and live posting the match vs the Brisbane Roar at 4:45 eastern. Luckily the Open will be on around that time so I won't feel weird as fuck...
Confirmed #LFC starting line-up v @brisbaneroar: Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Gomez, Henderson, Lucas, Milner, Ings, Lallana, Origi Away whites looking fresh
brisbane up 1-0. Clown clearing and defending but twas a nice finish......gomez looking good going forward
Dominic King @DominicKing_DM And @LFC are back level. If the goal they conceded was shabby (good play from Brisbane as well), Adam Lallana's equaliser was excellent
1-1 at the end of the 1st,. Gomez is man of the match so far. If he keeps this up I don't see how he goes on loan. Could definitely push Moreno at LB. Pretty big kid. Milner was the 2nd best player for me. Good movement from both Ings and Origi. Lucas looks to have gotten even slower (if that's possible). Looking like Gerrard at the DM position. Hopefully Can will be playing in this role over LL. Brisbane obviously not world beaters but definitely have more quality than the Thai side. Making us work a lot harder and not letting us get as comfortable on the ball.
Liverpool FC @LFC 61mins: Four changes for #LFC - Toure, Maguire, Kent and Ibe on for Sakho, Gomez, Origi and Lallana Not sure who the fuck kent is
