Lucas on for Coutinho - makes sense

[Tribute]

...watch us play like Barcelona in the second half now we've slagged them to ****... ;-)

Sub made: Lucas on for Coutinho

[Gibbo]

Lucas for Coutinho was right choice for me

[danperkins]

Lucas on and the very below par Coutinho off

[Norbs]

Gerrard is still adjusting to the holding role. Calm down women.

Now's not the time to bed him in though

[RichC]

An early goal would be a ****ing help

[Exiled_red]

Lucas for Coutinho was right choice for me

[Daniel 7]

Personally I think we should take him off at HT, but we know that won't happen.

So maybe we should put Lucas on for Coutinho, and put Gerrard up there. See how it goes

Ah well, Brendan wasn't brave enough to make that shout - Coutinho was the easy option...

[RichC]

Villa already looking nervous

[Exiled_red]

Suarez shoots over, not sure if it was a cross or shot

[RichC]

Weird shot/cross that wasn't it.

Aston Villa at home? Should have been but for me Rodgers has got the tactics wrong today and if we had Lucas on with Stevie from the start then Gerrard wouldn't have looked so fragile. I think he needs support from Lucas

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Lucas in the first minute of this half just done something Gerrard didn't in the entire first 45, put his foot on the ball got his head up and rolled a simple ball to get us moving quickly.

Bertrand booked for a foul on Sterling
