Sunderland match thread

Maybe, but IIRC didn't Rodgers say that in light of our small squad, players may have to play if they have a slight knock.

Our LB options are pretty limited and it is very unlikely if Enrique can play entire 90 minutes due to fitness issues.

I personally expect him to start next week.

If Enrique is out why not give Robinson a game at LB? he's looked a decent prospect and could do a job, it also keeps Johnson on his better side.

He played 90 minutes yesterday for reserves.

2.5 you forgot Downing

But he's our main goal threat from the bench

Were going to get nothing from both fullback position and in central midfield both gerrard and shelvey are going to leave allen isolated on the counters.

Why not just play henderson to stiffen up the middle of the pitch so allen can get forward and play.his normal game.

That is exactly the reason why I don't fancy Kelly/Johnson pairing at all.

Because he is defensively ****.

I don't think Rodgers rates Henderson, hence trying to ditch him in the Dempsey deal and not featuring him league wise.

Really hope to see Sahin at some point

I don't think Henderson really stiffens up the middle of the pitch either.

I cannot say that I blame him.

Jonjo is leaps and bounds ahead of him in the packing order now.

Kelly cant go forward like a proper right back like johnson or baines. Hes one of those who offers very limited options in the final third whereas fullbacks like johnson will look to take players on and pick players out.

Instead weve got neither fullback position functioning properly. play downing left back for ****s sake so at least both fullbacks can push on and offer a proper threat from the wide areas. Instead weve got.nothing.

Sunderland should look at our right hand side and think borini and kelly. Well thats nothing to worry.about so they block off their right side and make.liverpool pay down their left with borini and kelly. Our least creative combination.

[el matador]

Hendo did really well there towards the back end.of last season so he can play there.

We will end up losing ten games before rodgers makes the change. Allens not a defensive midfield playerwhereas hendo looks more comfortable there. Allen should be.playing where shelvey.is and thus in between hendo and gerrard.
