Raheem Sterling vs Scott Sinclair

Right out from the gaffers mouth! BR has come out and praised Sterling as being more advanced and talented than Scott Sinclair. :p

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Your point being?

When Nabil El Zhar was in the Liverpool squad a few seasons ago (2008/2009 season), we had very good options in the wide areas. Yossi Benayoun, Albert Riera, Ryan Babel, Dirk Kuyt and Jermaine Pennant. Back then Lucas Leiva wasn't first choice as we had Mascherano, Gerrard and Alonso in central midfield. Thus, he was mostly only able to play in those less important games like Carling Cup, FA Cup etc. Even when we beat scums 4-1 at Old Trafford, he came on for Gerrard in the 82nd minute (if I'm not wrong) when the game was already won.

Fast forward to now. We now have lesser options in the wide areas. Downing, Assaidi, Sterling and Joe Cole (injured)

Sterling has already played the full 90 minutes against Hearts and Man City, and I forsee that he will be involved in more matches this season.

Brendan Rodgers himself has already said that he will definitely be giving the younger players more playing time this season.

Rodgers: I'll give kids a chance

He looks far better, El Zhar was only in the side cos he played according to Rafa's instructions. He wasn't very pacy or skilled.

Jury is out on the new guy but on Youtube at least, he has quick feet, dribbles, takes on defenders, and seems to be a fairly confident chap.

Hope to see him soon, and Downing as backup for Enrique and Raheem ;)

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

I just read that Downing actually started out as a defender in his schoolboy days. ;) I bet that many of you didn't know that either. :)

I think BR should just utilize him in defence instead of playing him on the wings as his crossing sucks.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

New just in that Lucas will be out for 3 months after he sustained the injury during the match against Man City.. :(

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

I understand that he hurt himself during the warm up prior to the match.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Time for the new boys in joe and sahin to step up then.

This weekend hope arse fire blanks for 3rd match in a row :cool:

Lucas Leiva injury update

Rodgers on Sahin and transfers

http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/late...-and-transfers

Sahin and Assaidi are ineligible for the match against Hearts.
Lucas is injured.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Sahin came in at the right timing. He is a DM and plays similarly to Xabi Alonso :D

He should fit into Lucas's role without any problems.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

2 more days to go before window close. wondering will we see any new players coming in?!

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

I read in the Gunners website that Theo Walcott is leaving Arsenal.... but they did not specify where he is going to..... maybe it is Liverpool? ;)

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

from soccertalk.com.....

BR is making a last minute pitch for Swansea's Sinclair after the supposedly breakdown in transfer talks with Man City. :confused:

How true is this i do not know...but i still rate adams higher than most midfielders in liverpool...amid difference than most fans here tough :(

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Based on his past CA was supposed to be better but on current form his performances have not been what he was capable of achieving.
He looks obese now, maybe if he loses some weight his performance can pick up? :p

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Lol tat explains an article which i read tdy alleging tat brendan has informed stewart tat he is only keeping him if he is prepared to play left back!...looks like reds may try for theo walcott but i wonder where brendan is to gg to get the money fm??...wat is gg to happen to adam n henderson?....
