Liverpool v WBA Build Up

[Fredo]

Frankthetank betraying his true identity there... Houllier!

Hollier.

That Musker does get the team news. Sounds a bit worrying. I think it's Brad.

God no!

I was thinking Sterling might be rested again?

[frank the tank]

I'd take him over Mingolet tbh.

i wouldnt even have Brad Jones on the bench....let alone starting.

[frank the tank]

I think people like that Musker knob are the reason i hate twitter / social media. What a frickin ******. "Just got some team news......don't do it!" Either tell us what you know or shut the fock up...... ******

Three at the back

Anyone else noticed that the official website has picked training photos where none of the players are laughing or smiling? Pretty pathetic manipulation but understandable.

I see what you mean now . I'd prefer to see them having a bit of fun too though to be honest, that's what they did last season and it didn't do us any harm then . Never take life too seriously

[wiw]

Rumour doing the rounds that it's Kolo as a false 9.

That's the thing though, I doubt that the training has changed, I'm sure they're enjoying training and having a laugh. Only, we the punters, aren't allowed to see that as we're suffering poor results and by sticking photos up of Balo and Sterling having a laugh would be seen, by some, as them not taking the club's semi-crisis situation seriously enough...

I can guarantee that an editorial decision has been made over the choice of photos.

Going from that tweet I imagine Toure, Lucas or Borini are starting.. I wouldn't mind Borini he can't bring any less that we're currently offering.

[Rich]

I can definitely see Toure replacing Skrtel.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I've been ill all week and my days are a bit of a blur but am I right in thinking Skrtel got injured?

Not looking forward to this at all. Not just in terms of points gained but also as a spectacle. I just can't be confident of any win at the moment - no matter who we play we are soft at the back and pedestrian going forward.

Tbh I am pretty certain that it will be a boring game. Last season really reignited my love of football, but this season we look, if we are all honest, a dull team to watch - the type of game you would turn over if it was another team. What I don't want is a **** game where we look **** but scrape the points. In many ways I'd rather we played positive, exciting football, even if we lost. For me that would offer greater hope for the future than a ****-fest of a performance. For me, the 'points on the board' argument doesn't make sense - surely football is something to be enjoyed more than anything.

At the moment, Balotelli just contributes to our impotence as he slows play down so much. It's quite sad that we wanted a striker who could play instead of Sturridge, but we seem to have one who needs to play alongside him. Zero effect on being able to rest Sturridge then. We need him so much it's disheartening.

I don't really get the Joe Allen bit either. Yes, he adds energy to the midfield, but how many games did he start last season? Our midfield did pretty well then without him, and now we have Lallana to throw into the mix (cliche alert).

Apologies for the negativity.

Skrtel, Ballotelli deserve to be dropped, Ballo because his attitude has been poor (shocker) and Skrtel because it's obvious BR has told him time and time again to attack the ball but he can't get that into his thick head and would rather 'attempt' to take the player out. I'd bring Llori back ahead of the lot of them, at least he might learn from his mistakes.
