Am I missing something with these empty posts?

I can see it not sure why you can't,but it's about Sturridge and Henderson both out of the weekend game

Are you on twitter? I don't think you'll see them if you aren't.

As for Sturridge, hopefully he starts getting minutes soon so he can be up to speed by the time we face Arsenal and especially United. Too often recently we've faced them ****s without him.

Liverpool omit fit Daniel Sturridge from selection for West Ham in bid to avert risk of further absences

Jurgen Klopp resists temptation to select injury-blighted striker as he focuses on conditioning to reduce susceptibility to muscle strains

Daniel Sturridge will not make his Liverpool return against West Ham on Saturday as Jürgen Klopp resists the chance to use his star striker.

Liverpool will also be without captain Jordan Henderson as Klopp takes an injury hit side to East London.

Sturridge is fit again and has trained for the past two weeks, but Klopp has reiterated he is not prepared to risk further absences for the 26-year-old.

He believes strengthening his resistance to muscle problems will yield long-term results, even though it leaves him short of firepower in the short-term.

It means Christian Benteke is once more the only available centre-forward, as was the case at Sunderland in midweek.

Benteke has responded with the winning goal in the last two fixtures against Leicester and Sunderland.

Henderson’s absence is due to a recurrence of the heel pain that kept him out earlier in the season, which was aggravated in the game in the north east. Liverpool are assessing how long he will be missing as they seek a permanent remedy for another long-standing issue.

Klopp had hinted earlier this week he was tempted to use Sturridge. “Maybe Daniel could come back if we try,” he said on Thursday. Instead, with so many vital games on the horizon, the manager continues to be cautious.

Sturridge may now come into contention for the Capital One Cup semi-final with Stoke on Tuesday, or the FA Cup third-round tie at Exeter next Friday.

Liverpool are also without James Milner, Divock Origi and Martin Skrtel this weekend.

We need to shut down Noble, he makes this team tick. I would Stick lucas on him, if Song plays I would not give him a moments rest .. close him down everywhere. If Lanzini plays I would let him know he is a game immediately. Finally if Carrol plays obviously we shut down the flanks ... I think whilst West Ham are a good side there style of play will suit Kloops pressing game and I do think they will try to play football .. if its a game of who can play the better football ...we will win 100%

No I'm not but can now see them on my tablet. I was using my laptop when I couldn't and I noticed the same watching the game on Wednesday which is why I asked the question. I'll stick to the tablet from now on except when watching games.

I hope we don't keep on under-hitting passes and lay-offs in the opposition area. It's a repeat offence every time I see us.

Ooohhh I like that, just hope we've got the energy to go again. Wonder who will get injured today? Sakho must be due one again now.
