The BigFooty Liverpool Army

[RossFC]

Truck-load of assists for us too.

 

[Zidane98]

Milner is the ideal squad player. Reliable injury wise and can slot into a number of different roles. I don't see him as starting xi material next season with everyone fit though.

 

[RossFC]

Dylan8 at 1:25 here's the stop I was talking about from Skrtel. I reckon it was going in.

Chelsea in a couple of days.

Winning doesn't really matter, but this probably the last opportunity for our best 11 to get some good form under their belts before the cup final.

Sturridge
Coutinho-Lallana-Firmino
Can-Milner
Moreno-Toure-Lovren-Clyne
Mignolet

Subs: Bogdan, Skrtel, Flanagan, Lucas, Allen, Ojo, Benteke

Winning does matter.

If West Ham draw/lost to Manure tonight then we move ahead of them into 6th with a win over Chelski.

It's a guaranteed Europa spot for next season if we don't get over Sevilla.

I'm confident we can get into the Champions league by winning the Europa league.

Losing the final and making Europa I guess would be a consolation prize. Better than no European comps at all.

On that discussion I think Milner is ahead of Henderson, on the last 6 months form for sure. Now whether that's down to injury or not is irrelevant, Hendo needs to get himself right over the summer unless he's in danger of losing his starting XI position which then brings into question the captaincy.

I think Joe Allen has been somewhat of a revelation the last 3 - 4 months, is turning into a different type of Lucas where you have absolute faith in when he plays no matter if it's starting or coming off the bench. Add to that he has added a real attacking element to his game which I didn't think was there before. I really hope he stays on as I do with Lucas & Kolo.

For me Skrtel looks shot, which is a shame.
CamBram was great on the weekend, still unsure of Stewart and Ojo was good also. Not sure why Smith isn't starting games like Watford when Moreno is hardly setting the world alight in a defensive manner.

He's been crap but his last game was great.

I'd give him another 6-12 months since Sakho is gone for a while.

Smith was suspended.

 

[Dylan8]

Milner is more flexible but Henderson is a better central player

 

[Gak Attack]

Milner is the only one to consistently put in good crosses too. Unfortunately not from corners though, which is something none of the others can either.

 

[craigos]

Smith was suspended.

Oh yeah, Europa game in between didn't count.

 

[RossFC]

Has it been mentioned that if we win the Europa League, Toure will leave?

So if Toure leaves, Sakho gets suspended, Ilori gets sold, Caulker finishes his loan...

We are left with Lovren, Matip, Skrtel and a returning Gomez. (Lucas as well can fill in at CB).

 

[Cooldude]

Why would Kolo leave if we win it?

 

[Dylan8]

Why would Kolo leave if we win it?

I too am confused by this

 

[craigos]

I too am confused by this

Not that he'd leave but he'd probs party with Mama.

Quite unreal the career he has had, I think it's forgotten he has won 2 Premier League titles, 3 FA Cups and an African Cup of Nations. Lives in the shadow of his brother a bit which isn't quite fair.

[Leiviathan]

I dun get it.

 

[RossFC]

Why would Kolo leave if we win it?

He wants to end on a high.

 

[Dylan8]

He wants to end on a high.

After a quick google of what you're referring to, I read his quotes as him saying he's leaving regardless but would like to go out on a high.

That's good enough to see us through a Sakho ban IMO.

I was hoping we'd sell Skrtel and sign Toure on buttons for another season TBH. I guess Skrtel is going to take on the Carragher role in the squad from now on.

 

[Zidane98]

Milner is the only one to consistently put in good crosses too. Unfortunately not from corners though, which is something none of the others can either.

It baffles me why this is the case. Crossing on the run is more difficult then striking a dead ball yet Milner can't get past the first man 80% of the time. I remember the crowd going nuts at him in the Dortmund 4-3 match over it.

 

[Zidane98]

Also we need someone who is good at dead balls. Since we've lost Suarez/Gerrard we've scored very few goals from set pieces. That needs to change if we want to be up there in the top 4.

 

[RossFC]

After a quick google of what you're referring to, I read his quotes as him saying he's leaving regardless but would like to go out on a high.

Well that would suck if we lose and he goes. Would offer him another 6-12 months in that case.

If we win, then I'd be a great way to end his time at LFC.

I'd go with that XI with just one change.

I'd stick Lallana on the bench, Firmino central and Milner wide. Allen to start alongside Can.
