Kolo Toure

[Fosterbloke]

If this injury forces through a transfer for Sakho then perhaps it's a blessing in disguise?

He could end up being better than Toure and 9 years younger as well.

I bet Seb Co is kicking himself as this could have been his opportunity for first team football.

Injury prone player.........there was always a chance he'd be no use to us as a priority CB signing.

Very poor signing.

Is it sarcasm or serious that you do?

I'm 87% sure it's sarcasm, but then I start doubting myself.

I actually think I'm being about 74% sarcastic, but it was a comment certainly in keeping with the 'sky is falling' tone here last night.
It is unfortunate, but in reality it could have happened in any game this season, so we just got to deal with it (although at least we still have the window if Brendan feels we need to do something).

Let's just hope it's a one-off and that's it for the season. Now Kolo will have some time on his hands to pretend he's a car salesman again .

74% it is. I'll keep that in mind going forward.

#Toure out for a month? Not as bad as I first thought, especially after he's got a history with the injury and he was stretchered off. #LFC

Not as bad as it sounds. Will miss the Utd game. But then there is a 2 week international break.

[BigChief]

Thank God for internationals.

I think it was bad management to play Kolo yesterday. He's had relatively little football in the past 18-24 months so 3 full games in 12 days (would have been 4 in in 16 if he'd made Utd) is possibly asking too much of a 32 year old.

Both Kolo and Gerrard should have been rested yesterday. Clearly Rogers was scarred by the Oldham result & that has affected his judgement. End of the day it's all about the league and getting top four. You can win a cup & still get sacked at this club now.

[BigChief]

Doesn't mean managers, like players, don't want to win silverware.

[Neil Young]

Resting Toure for last night is a temptingly easy call in hindsight.

So who should have played instead? Agger? With his record surely he was just as likely to pick up an injury.

Skrtel? He hasn't played a game so he could have picked up an injury. And, since he's not seen as good as Toure, it would have increased the possibility of losing the game.

And the same applies even more to anyone who doesn't even have Skrtel's experience.

What happened to Martin Kelly? I thought he was training again and is fit? If so, he should have played some part last night.

Rodgers said he was still some way off proper match fitness and it would take him a while longer.
