Man United (A): Build Up

[redmike65]

I read somewhere that this is the first Premier League Liverpool v United game that has neither manc nor scouser starting for their respective teams.

Well we'll know at KO. Rossiter to start yeah!

Do Utd have any Mancs in the first team squad? Don't think so.

I think Can will be the weak link in this first XI. Notwithstanding Lovren. In fact I can't stand him at all...

****in joke Brendan

James Pearce @JamesPearceEcho
Rodgers on Lovren: "In his first 3 games this season Dejan showed he has the quality and the consistency to perform well."

Not defending either but what else can he say? At least try to give him some confidence after the ****ups vs wham

I think it's glaringly obvious that this will be the undoing of Rodgers, I can understand him not dropping Lovren after one bad game but I think Rodgers has created an uncomfortable situation for himself by counting on Lovren ahead of Sakho.

Well, before the match against WHAM he also built him up and gave him a confidence booster, that turned out well

I don't mean the quote in isolation, I mean the fact he's gonna pick him again. Meritocracy my arse. Imagine if Sakho had done that? He'd be sat in the stand for months.

That's quite a depressing statistic really

It didnt i know, and im not defending him or his inclusion in the match team, but if rodgers will play him, and by the looks of it he will, thats the right thing to do

That's true but I wonder if it was maybe better to talk about the whole of defence as a unit, not single out players, neither for praise (unless after games and if they really stand out) nor criticism.

No one is happy about that, but he'll play so best try to get him in the right state of mind..

[Cormack74]

When did you come back?

Good to see you around man.

Surely he came back a while ago as false 9? If not I'm really confused.

[Big-Red-Ed]

Rodgers would be better off saying nothing about Lovren pre match. Just puts the spotlight on them both a bit more. On Rodgers for having the stupidity to keep on picking him and on Lovren himself for being ****e.

[McDermotX]

Lovren guaranteed to get the winner now on Saturday.


Not sure for which team though.

Rodgers new dream CB pairing of Lovren + Toure being readied for Saturday
