RUMOURED Line-up for today: #LFC: Reina, Enrique, Agger, Skrtel, Kelly, Gerrard, Henderson, Maxi, Kuyt, Suarez, Carroll. Subs: Gulacsi, Carragher, Coates, Johnson, Downing, Sterling, Shelvey


I'd be happy if this turns out to be true for the reason that it has Sterling in the squad more than anything else. Interesting that it has Kelly in ahead of Johnson.

I have to stress it's not a confirmed team.

Where from?

the rumour mill! sounds credible though

SACK DALGLISH













figure I should get this in before Careex and Faz do

I'd always have Kelly in ahead of Johnson at RB and Shelvy ahead of Henderson at CM.

this joke was done earlier by growler but isn't as funny the second time around

how about keep kenny as manager for the next 5 years no matter what, title or relegation.

With the rumours on lfc news we have 20m to spend and it seems KD is going to be the man to spend it,he knows he has to fish for talent and value so he better start using all the resources at his disposal ie:Sterling, he better get at least 20-30mins

rumours of 20 million

what rumours?

rumour has it that dalglish is getting sacked at half time - annoucement over tannoy to clear his desk

OI you plumbs.
Waz wrong with MY thread ey? Bloody copycat.

The barmaid.

Before i logged onto forum it was on koptalk liverpool news

cheers

Didn't see it. There's usually a thread with the teams playing in the title. I had a quick browse and then searched 'norwich' but there were no recent threads.

IF Sterling is on the bench today, i hope he gets more than just a 5 minute run out, not much time for him to impress. would like to see him get 15/20 minutes, doubt it will happen though

gets more game time than torres does!

Raheem needs to be given a full half but if and when this will happens remains to be seen

I don't actually do normal though, in 'ere or anywhere else which is possibly why it passed you by.
You're forgiven...this once.

I can breathe again so

Hopefully Sterling gets a bit of a runout today. Looking forward to the match (I just NEVER learn my lesson). Hopefully it's not more punishment today.

even if we lose and raheem plays really well if offer us something to look forward to

We will win this

Yes i see a giant killing coming today and lfc will win

probably down the battle cruiser

Give Sterling the entire 2nd half, league hasnt mattered in a long time, why not see what he can do?

he's shon in 5 minutes hes got more bollox than downing give him 70 mins

#LFC Reina, Johnson, Carra, Agger, Enrique; Hendo, Gerrard, Shelvey, Bellamy, Downing; Suarez.

Subs: Doni, Maxi, Coates, Kuyt, Spearing, Kelly, Skrtel

carragher go to the knackers yard , ok looks like 4 5 1.

Should encourage henderson to do what gerard used to do and run through the middle

No sterling - dalglish not doing himself favours-especially if t hey lose

No sterling

Decent side, could see us bang in 4

Dalglish has no clue

no skrtel so he plays carra

COATES anyone

raheem can not get a game or even on the bench

this crap must end soon please

not playing mate

3 defenders on the bench??? Really

Skrtel rested. No Carroll in the squad - wtf? No Sterling in the squad - MASSIVELY disappointing - YET AGAIN. A keeper plus 3 defenders on the bench. 3 defenders.... seriously. Is that necessary? Especially when we have someone like Sterling itching to get a chance.

It's put a dampener on my excitement for the game, but I'm looking forward to seeing how the forward trio of Downing-Suarez-Bellamy get on, and with Stevie-Hendo-Shelvey behind in midfield.

Gerrard and Bellamy starting so close to the FA cup final. Unbelievable... and Coates needs to play instead of Carragher.

If they can get henderson going would be a postive - i still like him , he's just such a fairy

Yeah but he could be playing carragher cos hes going to drop him for final

What's the use of having 4 defensive players + 1 keeper in bench , when we can't even score...

Bar please explain to me (I know I can be biased toward kenny sometimes)why carra is in the team and coates is not.

there is no raheem or any of the youngsters on the bench these are nothing games now.

im going to go with 10-2 to us.

Gonna be positive and go for a 0-0.

Very disappointing tho i think he may be resting Skrytle for final.If he plays Carra next week,i expect his resignation.We are not an old boy network club,only the best on the pitch.We cannot afford sentimentality on this issue

I can't tell you why Carra is in the team ahead of Coates, aside from experience in his favour, but one thing it does say to me is that maybe Carra won't start in the final..

He played Carra, Skrtel AND Agger in the semi at Wembley. I get the feeling now that he's gonna pick Agger & Skrtel at CB and Enrique at LB for the final, and that putting Carra in today is a way of softening the blow. Just a theory.

As for Sterling, I'd have him in the squad. Okay, you can say that someone would have to be left out, so who? If Skrtel is gonna be rested, then why not left out of the squad altogether - as Carroll has been? (Assuming that's why Carroll's out, and that he's not actually injured). It's frustrating to see Sterling overlooked yet again after his impressive debut.

carroll axed when he was one of the better players last week

"Axed" seems like a fairly misguided word to use, assuming you don't know why he's not in the squad. Unless you know something we don't, faz?

Isn't Sterling entering his exams in the next few weeks? could that possibly be why he isn't in the team? busy revising away

well what is it then ?

Could be. I heard a couple of weeks ago that he had exams. Never heard if it was confirmed or just a rumour, but it's definitely plausible. In saying that, he's played for the reserves, and also travelled with the squad, which makes it an unlikely excuse, surely?

dropped although they would say rested but he doesnt need rest he needs to shapen up

Heggy i know you are strongly pro KD but he could have picked this team from a hat.Do you really want these team selections next season?Playing over the hill defender when he has youngsters waiting.Now is the perfect time to blood these guys.If he's there next season when is he going to play these guys.He could give these guys PL experience not League Cup/FA cup against weaker teams when they could be at the big table

Rested?

rested maybe? axed is a bit of a media word in fairness. suggests some kind of punishment.

if im being really honest i couldnt give a flying shiite about this game, the league has been a source of frustration recently and a win or lose is insignificant at this stage. may as well pick fans out of the kop and let them play.

kd is going for trophies dont get too carried away

axed dropped left out its the csame and he hasnt been the worst player in the last few weeks

Reina,
Johnson, Carra, Agger, Enrique;
Bellamy, Hendo, Shelvey, Downing;
Gerrard,
Suarez.

?

Don't get it.

There's no way he was "dropped" or "axed". If he was, he'd be on the bench, not out of the squad altogether. There are only 4 possibly explanations for me.

1. Rested
2. Has picked up a knock
3. Has had a falling out with someone
4. Personal circumstances

This line up sucks.

No carroll.

3 defenders on the bench. Why the feck do we need 2 CBs on reserve?

Why carra? He has been a disaster and I bet he will be the cause of another goal conceded today.

No Sterling - why why why???

Reina,
Johnson, Carra, Agger, Enrique;
Bellamy, Hendo, Shelvey, Downing;Gerrard,
Suarez.

OR: BELLAMY up front which is what i wanted to see tried

What don't you get, mate?

I'd say it's more of a 4-3-2-1 with Bellamy and Downing supporting Suarez from wide. Most likely Downing on the right. This isn't a problem since Carroll isn't playing, so there's not much point in whipping crosses in to Suarez anyway.

If so then why doesn't he play youngsters in this LEAGUE game

ok mate keep the excuses coming mate !!!!!

So what your thnking this?

Reina,
Johnson, Carra, Agger, Enrique;
Gerrard, Hendo, Shelvey,
Bellamy, Downing;
Suarez

You dont kno kenny

Could put suarez in goal to suprise the oposition

played well between the sticks in the world cup.

Excuses? Sorry, what?

That's what I reckon yeah. With Downing on the right and Bellamy on the left.

Excuses? Sorry, what?[/quote] the list you put up come on mate he has been dropped like so many times this season when he has actually been playing well

How the f*ck do you know?! When he's been dropped this season, it's been to the bench, not out of the squad altogether.

ah well agree to disagree because you must know more .

I don't know more. I haven't claimed to know more. YOU are the one who claims to know that he's been "axed". You don't know, of course. It's becoming a trend on this forum that a user will spout some nonsensical sh*te, get challenged by a common sense rebuttal, and respond with "agree to disagree" rather than actually backing up their argument with an actual explanation.

Andy Carroll left out of today's match squad as a "precaution".

Not acceptable.

Not "axed" then?? SHOCKER!

That clears it up then I suppose.

Why don't we play Suso or something, he looks a talent.

precaution my arse !!!!! he has been axed !!!!

We are Liverpool football club. We give no youngster a chance!

Why exactly do you even think that he's been axed??

mr gullible !!!!!!!

its not like he hasnt been axed before playing well !!!

Let it go man.. its not worth it.

Never left out of the squad altogether though. If he starts in the final next week I'll be expecting an apology from you

Lets Kidnap Messi and give him a pony tail

samson in reverse - would love to know if they cut carrols hair off he might turn into a footballer

I'm going for a bad hair day but that's just my opinion.

its a groin strain.

Precaution against what exactly? That could mean anything....

annoying fans

I hope bellamy scores a hat trick, what would kenny do then?

Suarez is playing like shitte today.

He loses the ball every time he touches it.

And there is the Luis we know. Classy pass Gerrard.

And then he scores lol but I knew what you mean at the time

Top goal

Curse (or good fortune in this case!) of the commentator. Quick! Somebody else slag him off!!

And He scores again! Maybe if I complain about Downing he'll score.

Unfortunate call on Suarez

And again, great goal

agree,good to hear fans again

At the risk of tempting fate, we look all business today

I know what you mean.I hope we don't burn ourselves out this week

haha I'm happy to be proven wrong.

We've a whole week to recover for the next game. If any of the players aren't able for that then they're in the wrong business.

don't we have a game midweek?

Fulham on Tuesday

tuesday v fulham

cheers

reckon we will see raheem?

Maybe that means we'll finally see some youngsters

no. there's something keeping that boy out. maybe its his attitude.

why his attitude

have you heard something?

Jesus! Completely forgot about that! Bellamy won't start in that one surely. He might be a shout to start in the final. The lineup for Fulham will certainly be interesting!

Good first half from us today. Nice to see some clinical finishing, especially from Luis!

Suarez needs a third. Happy for him to get double figures tho, with his talents you would think he would score a lot more but I guess its not been happening this season.

na total guess.

Christ I didn't know that. That's only 3-4 days before the final too. Not great timing to be honest. The last thing we need is injuries/fatigue to key players.

Remember when his mum was calling for him to come home around the time Spurs were interested and that resulted in 7mins,maybe he has thrown the head up.Who knows?If this isn't the case it's almost criminal not to give the lad a proper go

ah ya could be lining out yourself on tuesday snakes, it'll be a weird line up. coates, maxi, carra, KD, john henry will all start.

Someone wrote in Twitter saying Reserves had 4 days off after the season got over.. May be he didn't train this week... Would like to see him & Robinson getting few minutes against Fulham on Tuesday.

I am crying out for some reserves to play but we will get served up the same crap as usual.

why play players who will not be here next season?

He will get more playing time next time in Europa league along with Shelvy, Coates & Suso...

Thanks for the nod flames. Top manager.

Need to find the buyer who can give away some decent money?

you ,might just be right

Have you seen Raheem play for the reserves against Newcastle? I have and i don't think he is ready yet

lol forgive me its 5:30 am haha. there edited

Needs PL experience.Could have been used today and tues as cover for first team for sat,as could some of the other reserves

your going off of one game

very harsh

First he needs playing time under his belt in first team.. Slowly he will get his chances in PL...

I saw Messi against Chelsea.. May be should play some game for Barcelona B to get his confidence back???

Messi played ok until he missed the penalty and he lost his confidence. Raheem definitely did not play as well as Messi in reserves,so unless you watched the game don't think you can comment that performance. Don't understand how some people think they know better by watching a few youtube clips than a manager who watches the player regularly playing...may be those people should send their CVs to FSG to be considered for the Manager's'job...

I will if you will:)

Don't think I am better than Kenny so i won't, but if you think you are better i would encourage you to do so. BTW we are 3 up at Norwich, Swarez 3rd with a 50m kick.

that was goal of the season for me boys. goosebumps. he had bugger all time to set himself, wet pitch, 3 miles from goal. inch perfect.

Very happy for Suarez.

Dalglish must............

Hang on were winning 3-0.

Suarez great game and goals well done

your funny.

thank you for that

lets get the fourth:)

Good game from Carragher also, blocked a few and defended well. Coates should be ahead of him but you gotta give him credit for that, good to see him performing well.

it is only Norwich but I am thankful he stepped up today.

I think Former LFC man Crouch(vs Man City) will get the award for best goal of the season

Next season, but if you are the Manager, definitely we will be the champions, i can only pray that you get appointed

What about Coates' goal?

Brilliant really deserved it especially considering abuse from norwich fans and a few dodgy tackles

Best performance I've seen from Carragher since... hell, all season. Well done, that man - he was outstanding today.

Still don't understand the dual inverted wingers idea when neither of our fullbacks are able to cross a ball with any regularity or accuracy. That alone is what has cost Downing his assists this season. We looked great on the break until either of them got the ball near the box, at which point it all broke down because they're both on their weaker side.

Fortunately Gerrard was a beast in midfield. Best game I've seen from him outside the Everton game this year. Suarez scored 3 great goals that will do his confidence a world of good. Shelvey could have grabbed a brace too, and Henderson did alright at DM. And as the commentator said, "Nobody likes it when the keeper goes past you"; mad footie skillz from Reina.

That was one for the statisticians, that game. Final third regains, ftw!

I just hope Andy Carroll watched the Stoke game for Crouch's goal - that is what he needs to be doing in terms of movement around the area.

to little far too late as far as am concerned, it was a very welcome 3pts as it keeps us just behind Everton but come on surely people cant be getting carried away with that performance, two bum teams in my book if am being honest.

No, he has a book of bum teams.

Yeah he looks at them in the mirror

I'm a bum man.

I'm a hippy, man

it's funny the way everytime I put a post on your right behind me commenting, somethin you wanna share with us all, leave the obsession with my posts alone and move on, get on with your life.

yeah tired of kd, what a loser!

It's a forum, mate. I think the point of it is to comment on other people's posts.

yes I agree, just gets a bit unnerving when the same person seems so engrossed in my posts to the point they follow you more than others, there again if a person's life needs that then so be it.

Keep going...

average game between 2 teams that are just going through the motions. suarez was the difference. his goals were brilliant. just hope he has a couple left in the tank for next saturday. all in all good win. saurez was brilliant.

suarez is the man... good win whatsoever...ynwa

always credit when due and liverpool get it for the norwich victory suarez played great and scored a few goals which was a nice change 3rd goal not quite xabi alonso but a good goal

I thought the one from Luis today was better because of the angle..

It was great due to the speed of thought and execution. One glance, couple of touches, goal!

it was a pure class goal, and to even think of doing it was cheeky in the 1st place:)

Yeah, me too. Also, for Xabi's one the keeper was an absolute stumbling mess and should have stopped it.

any goal from the angle should never really go in, as it means the keeper is too far out

but I love those goals just for the keeper scrambling back in a attempt to avoid being embarrass.

I agree lets be honest if it was Reina it went past he would be getting slaughtered, lets just put in into perspective, it was a good strike, cheeky to take it on but at the end of the day the goalie needs a strong talking too for letting the goal go in from that far out, luckily for him the game had already gone, if it was the winning goal it would of been looked on differently by Paul Lambert.

agreed

has a liverpool keeper ever suffered that?
