I think Hendo will start as well as Allen instead of Markovic and Coutinho.

Moreno is likely to miss this one too.

Oops!

Is Enrique fit?

[Mostar]

It appears that he is as he trained with the team yesterday and today.

Adam Lallana is set to make his debut against Tottenham. [Echo]

So that's 7 goals and non conceded at home for them so far this season. I know it's been against ****e teams, but they will still be brimming with confidence on Sunday I'm sure. And the fact that they are a pressing team does worry me.

Yep, his teams have always done well against us and he has better players at his disposal now. It'll be a very tough game.

Injury list for us is....

No code has to be inserted here.

[Lee]

****ing injuries all at once.

So our backline for Sunday could be:


Manquillo Lovren Sakho Enrique



Reasonable but not ideal to throw them all in at once!

I don't know I think that back 4 looks more solid than the one we put out on Monday.

One concern for me would be if Rodgers starts Balotelli and possibly Lallana that could be 5 or 6 players making their first start this season and once again an unsettled back 4. FFS lads just keep a clean sheet ! Please !

[frank the tank]

Dont think we will keep a clean sheet.....but i reckon we can score more than one as well....

I would deffo start balotelli. Agree completely about too many new players as well. Midfield of gerrard hendo and allen behind sterling balo and sturridge would be fine.....

There is no way we'd go with such an attaching lineup, we'd get over-run in midfield if we set up like that.

I think Hendo will start as well as Allen instead of Markovic and Coutinho.

Moreno is likely to miss this one too.

I think we will go with a more solid lineup I expect a solid three in midfield presumably Gerrard, Henderson and Allen, then 3 of the attacking 5 Icon listed, although I don't know if we'd go with 2 strikers and 1 attacking mid or 2 AMs and 1 striker. I have a feeling Balotelli may start on the bench.

I agree about Balotelli and the players you mentioned. What formation though? 4-3-3 or diamond? I think I'd go for the diamond personally.

The atmosphere in the squad seems to be great at the moment.

I would love another big win at Spurs to get us going.
