So Sakho's been left out of the squad to face Helsinki and Lovren's expected to start alongside Skrtel.
As with the whole pre-season tour, Lovren's been playing with the 'first team' partnering Skrtel and Sakho's been partnering Toure in the 'second team'.
I think it's pretty clear who Rodgers is going to start the season with.
So, how many matches until he's forced to replace Lovren with Sakho...AGAIN? I like Rodgers but this is ridiculous.
Lovren first choice...

I doubt Rodgers has any favourites - he doesn't seem to give a fúck about discarding someone and he's quite harsh in that regard.
We all like Sakho but sometimes you have to accept professionals see something that we haven't. That could be attitude, taking instruction, a technical preference, fitness, whatever.
I think it's worth noting that before pre-season friendlies they will often hold a full and heavy training session. Sports science will then report on likelihood of injury and so on. There is soooooo much we don't see.
We'd be better of supporting those on the pitch full stop.

It sort of doesn't matter. BR hasn't address the DM position so defensively it will be more of the same and he'll be gone by Christmas
Too many poor decisions have been made now for him to turn it around

We don't play with a defensive midfielder so it makes sense to have only one for the times we may need one. Signing another makes no sense.

Surely your ideal would be for Rodgers to be safe as houses as that would mean Liverpool Football Club are doing well.

The only way that would happen is if we had a shocking start. Great attitude you have

why would your ideal be changing managers and starting all over again.

You know when you have an opinion and you want so much to be right with that opinion even if it means the club you claim to support fails....

Sharticle..
I expect lovren to surprise some people this year.
Even last year he was statistically our most active defender, putting in close to three times the amount of tackles as our other CBs did, winning a higher percentage of ground and aerial duels.
Once he gets over his nerves and settles down to the club he will kick on, and we will be looking to improve the right side
