Hey folks why no thread on this one? Been waiting and waiting and nothing! Anyway I think this will be a tough one, but one we need to win, dare I say a must win, if we want to build momentum and challenge for that 3rd or more realistic 4th spot.
There's hope of Sturridge making return to at least the bench and, possibly come on for 15 or 20 mins. The big question is will Rodgers start with a recognised striker or two, or will he go with the side that played Chelsea, assuming Shako is fit? I think I'd be tempted to do that, and then bring on a striker or two (such as they are) around 60mins if we need to.

I hope Downing and Caroll don't play the game of their lives trying to stick it to BR. That said if we start with a striker or two on the pitch well, if not another tippy tapppie football fest without goals for us.

yeah and they're on a bit of form now as well. I'd be worried about our defending from corners and free's with Carroll lurking with intent around the box, it's made for him. Anyway I'm going with a 2 - I as I think we will concede one from set play. Who's going to score for us is in the lap of the god's I fear!

Owen Goal?

Naw Van, we don't sign 'em like that anymore, wages and fees way above us now.

Fees don't seem to be any problem though, does it?

£ 27 M for Lallana isn't that bad!

2-1

Ha, ha you're winding me up now van, anyway I think it was reported to be closer to 23m. In todays world quality players usually cost in the mid 30m range upwards.
However, back to todays game, I see Football 365 are reporting Andy Carroll as accusing Rodgers of lying to him repeatedly! That should raise the temprature somewhat! Could be a cracker this one!

0-0

well that's unlikely to be a crasker so lumba, but they might just go for each other open ended, and we could see few knocked in! Just hoping its us that does the knocking and not them! I'm with Growler though think it'll be 2 - 1.
