True.

Lallana had issues getting through games a couple of seasons ago when starting matches. He was often subbed off after 60 mins as he was getting tired. He is a fantastic player with very quick feet and we need him in advanced positions to create trouble. A couple of years back he thrived with Coutinho and Firmino and Origi. But now with the front 3 we have I am not so sure he has the pace to keep up. He is going to be a very useful squad player and because he seems to take time to get to peak fitness he might come in to his own in the second half of the season.

A fully firing Lallana is as effective as a fully fit Sturridge and we need these players to take a few minutes off of Firmino, Mane and Salah so that we get the best out of those players as well and manage fitness levels of all of our squad through the season.

At southampton llalana was there most subbed player every season.True.

Sturridge is a great player much better than the likes of origi etc.
Problem is his injuries now which means he may generally be a substitute ...but a great option to have.I suspect he knows this himself as well.

The one thing about Sturridge is his ability to get into the right areas as was proved within seconds against West Ham. Obviously his limitations due to injuries have been exposed.

But we now have a certain strength in depth that should see off any Championship side should we get one in the League Cup.

Migs, Clyne, Lovren, Matip, Moreno, Henderson, Lallana, Fabinho, Shaqiri, Sturridge, Origi.

Well with city dropping two points it's all to play for just about to watch the wire (should get in at least the first half) then off to anfield. I am so excited I might even cheer this time

Even bought a choclotate eclair for the first half of the challenge cup final life does not get better than this

Game over for city then and the league is ours

Solid performance again, nothing fancy but 3 points is all that matters.

Just think. If we win the next 35games we win the league.

Difficult game but a win and clean sheet is the best you can hope for

Don't think so

Pep out!

Why not? If we dropped points then it’d be over for us. Must be the same for City? That’s how it works isn’t it?
