Saturday 21.07.12 Toronto FC-Liverpool ESPN
Thursday 26.07.12 AS Roma-Liverpool ESPN
Saturday 28.07.12 Tottenham-Liverpool ESPN

Then this is hardly ideal but it is what it is I suppose.

[QUOTE=Red_Polo;2332314]Yep, just checked. We've got to play qualifying round three to reach the play-off, which Newcastle start in. Spurs straight into the group stage. (If we'd won the FA cup we'd be in the group.)

2nd August will be our first leg with the return a week later. Draw is on 20th July.[/

Surely Suarez and Coates might play in the Olympics

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I read an article a few moths ago with Suarez putting himself forward for the olympic squad but was told no.

Hope I'm right.

I thought it was 3rd and 10th? I was thinking of going over.

So if our Euro stars, as expecte,d aren't available for the Europa tie we could expect something like this unless there's purchases ( which we assume we will )

Pepe
? Carra. Coates. Enrique
? Lucas Adam maxi
? Suarez

I know Rodgers likes a 433 so how would we line up with what's available to him on the 2nd August?

Slovakia aren't at the Euros so Skrtel should be avaliable shouldn't he?

[Fernandinho]

Flanagan will surely be around too. if Pepe isnt available I guess Doni will play. Otherwise I guess we will line up like this:

Reina
Flanagan-Skrtel-Carra-Enrique
Lucas-Adam-Shelvey
Maxi-Suarez-sterling???

Pacheco is also returning from loan and we still have no idea about cole/aquilani. If they are still here then they will probably find a place in that team.

I suspect those three will only be here if we can't find a buyer for them - which based on recent experience (at offloading players) means that at least two of them will probably still be around.

Flano at RB JC probably instead of Stirling but I like your line up

[SB]

Reina
Flanagan-Skrtel-Carra-Enrique
Lucas-Adam-Shelvey
Maxi-Suarez- Stirling??.

so where would Sigurdson fit into that side ? in place or Adam or Shelvey?

[Reece]

Adam.

Adam.

So Siggy for Adam? I can live with that.

[Frenchie]

swap Carra for Kowatez...

[lickedlollipop]

swap Carra for Kowatez...

FIY his surname is apparently spelled in Scottish/British/whatever accent, due to the fact that his father is Scottish.

yeah yeah we know...I was being onomato'poeical

I think most of us could

I just read some journo suggesting that signing Sigurdson could mean the end for Shelvey ?
