Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait

Absolutely brilliant film.

[Jimjim]

Sending our players to play with England is apparently like sending them back to the Dark Ages of football.

Sturridge is always getting injured with them because they have no clue what they're doing.

Rodgers basically said as much when he met the press but I wish he had said it even stronger.

It's ridiculous that the club who pays the wages suffers because of the idiocy of the national team setup.

So does the FA pay when they <deleted> up like this these days or what?

[Jimjim]

One Night in Istanbul Premiered last night!

this looks bleeding awful man. if the best soundbite for the poster you can come up with is from 'zoo' magazine then you're reaching. i'm pretty sure i'll never watch this.

What? And miss Robbie Fowler's acting debut?

I think I would watch it after a night out while trying to go to sleep in my hotel room. Seems perfect for a situation like that.

They will do....but there is an awful lot of small print/get out clauses. 28 days injured is one I think, so three weeks means the club pays the wages!

"Sturridge has been ruled out for three weeks because he suffered a thigh strain on international duty. It has emerged the 25-year-old expressed misgivings about participating in an intensive training session on the day he suffered the injury." Telegraph.

"Asked if the England team were made aware of Sturridge’s particular training programme, Rodgers said: “Absolutely"

You really couldn't make this shit up!

Would Sturridge not say anything like...."I'm not supposed to train today"

This really winds me up.

Can is out for 6 weeks, after receiving a knock with ze German U21's.....they were 6 nil up in the stupideth minute

[BangrakBob]

Curious as to how we will line up now.

Thinking 4-3-3 best option, Ballotelli will need support and I think having Lallana and Sterling on the wings would be a nice attacking trio

know what? it's still weird predicting our team and typing 'balotelli'.

gerrard, henderson, allen, lallana, sterling, balotelli. yeah that felt weird. got big hopes for lallana though.

Bob apart from Sturridge todays team is very nearly our strongest possible :- Formation : 4-3-3 G/K Mingo Back 4 Manquillo Sakho Lovren Moreno . Midfield Stevie Hendo Llallana Attack Sterling Balotelli Markovic . But cannot say the same for bench which will probably have Lucas, Allen, Coutinho who are so very weak .

[fonsboy]

Looks like we have another young gem of a striker name Shey Ojo only 17 , one assist & scored twice in last nights u 21`s 4-0 win against the Hammers at Upton Park . Sterling . Ibe & now Ojo these 3 are going to be super stars if they follow Brendans advice . Also Samed Yesil looked very sharp .

[wilai]

Rumours that Sterling will be rested today

[wilai]

Tommo finds his long lost twin brother in Dubai

[StevieH]

Rumours that Sterling will be rested today

benched perhaps. don't think we'd leave him out altogether.

allen's doubtful as well, knee knock.

[wilai]

^ Personally I would play him today and rest him in the CL....plenty of recovery time for next weekend then, unless BR thinks the dinosaur has run the legs off him!

Hopefully Markovic is in there somewhere too.

I think we will miss Can more than people realise. When he came on against Spurs I was super impressed, I'm really looking forward to seeing him evolving as a starting central beast.

He is something else that kid, watched him against United a few weeks back

A chance to see Markovic turn it on down the left again, somtam will be happy

haha yeah the name does not seem to fit yet, and seeing him in our Red shirt still seems a bit strange.

Debut goals today

[Chicog]

Jim Beglin on Liverpool's defending for the goal: "It looks like a lack of indecisiveness".

[BangrakBob]

Villa playing with a back 8

[Chicog]

Villa playing with a back 8

Villa leading.

[mrbojangles]

I think Senderos pre-match brief is pretty obvious.

[BangrakBob]

Villa playing with a back 8

Villa leading.

yeah frustrating the arse off us and we are looking flat and disjointed

[rijit]

you look vulnerable on every x

[rijit]

jeez, very quite at Anfield,

[Chicog]

Dunno why he waited so long to bring Sterling on. It was crying out for him.

It's not like you've got Bayern or Barca midweek.

[BangrakBob]

We should ask to play them away twice next season

[redrus]

Apologies in first...........

No penetration all game... Poor Poor defending on the Set Pieces - no more excuses.

Ok the front 3 first time playing together but still, disappointing overall.

[StevieH]

that was &lt;deleted&gt;. jesus.
