Liverpool V Hull City Build Up

[rodo]

Notice Smith there. Did the club make a formal statement on why they recalled him?

someone on twitter claimed it was over signing a new contract and wont let him go back out on loan again until he does

[RedReet]

Really?

Seems a bit harsh from the club there. Would that entice you to sign a contract, being forced back against your will?

Rumoured team on twitter, for what it's worth, is Mignolet, Manquillo, Lovren, Skrtel, Moreno, Lallana, Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling, Coutinho, Borini

Is it from the same source who leaked the CL team?

The one I saw had Balotelli and Can starting. (That was from someone watching us line up in training).

I also heard Borini wasn't even in the matchday squad?

I'm happy to wait an see.

I'm happy to wait an see.

Where's the fun in that?

[Kenneth]

I don't do fun.

Can cut and paste now I'm on the laptop instead of the phone:

He's usually spot on with the teams.

[Shaggy]

Lovren and Skrtel again. Just how ****ing bad do they have to be before at least one of them gets ****ed off?

[RedReet]

Borini not ideal for lone striker role either, so wonder if Raheem will support him.

If we did play 2 up top without Balotelli, would be hard to see him recover from this.

[BigChief]

Good, just the team I wanted (minus Lucas for Gerrard but I can live with that). Borini will create the spaces so at least two of Lallana, Couts, Sterling and Hendo have to score. We'll need 3 goals to win this game, and I think we can get that with this team.

Since I love the details I thought we played some nice football against Real, much better than the dross we've done pre-QPR. I'm anticipating some enjoyable football from us.

I like that he's decided to pick a settled partnership for a run of games, he's just picked the wrong partnership! I wonder if Sakho is still paying for his sulky storm out last month?

I expect big return from Raheem for this game. (Was Hull his big season changer last year?)

Hull got a lot of injury problems, so hoping for a big win.

[Muddled]

He's certainly consistent with his misspelling of Skrtel.
