I think Rodgers is testing Lovren on the right hand side, I saw a couple of times in the match that Lovren was on the right and Skrtel on the left, that might just have been when one of them was returning from a tackle though.
Skrtel does have the tendency to score goals, but at which end is the biggest concern.
There were some things he did well today but when you compare him to how Lovren has done so far, the new man is better. And, as you say, more commanding.
That was just coming back from set pieces Loco.
I think Skrtel-Lovren will be the prefered CB partnership this season, the rest of the guys will get plenty of game time anyway.
Hopefully we'll be playing Sakho and Lovren our best two.
Poyet has said he has given Borini until Monday night to agree to join them or they will go onto other targets.
Skrtel was good but both CBs went missing when Saints turned up the tempo a bit. Although with Gerrard as the deepest midfielder, this is always going to be a problem.
Johnson dear god
Coutinho needs to play deeper and it looks like the diamond is gonna save us alot this season again so another quality striker is needed.
Interesting watching to MOTD 2 last night. Murphy thinks we need another midfielder and P Neville another striker.
Agree with Neville that a striker is required, but in terms of midfield? If we play 2/3 the midfielders who can play centrally are: Gerrard, Henderson, Can, Lallana, Allen, Lucas.
Six players in that area so not sure why it's so much of a problem? Striker is the main area first and foremost. Think Murphy forgot we have Lallana to come back.
I think it depends on whether Lallana can play deeper or not
Did he play deeper for Southampton?
I've never seen him deeper for them.
If Lucas goes, then we definitely need another high-tempo box-to-box midfielder to help Gerrard.
Also our midfield can really tire themselves out, except for Henderson. So we need as much rotation there as possible without that much of a drop in quality.
I think Murphy was hinting that if Gerrard is injured or out of form then we don't have anyone that can play that role. I would probably say that Hendo can play that role from our current crop.
Lucas and Allen do not have the deep passing range
Can too early to tell and Lallana is better suited as an AM.
Allen did well yesterday when he came on I though. Kept the ball more often than not when we were under the cosh, and the game started to swing our way again. Even more so when Lambert came on, then the last 10 mins were a case of hang on to what we've got. And we did. Just.
Lallana can't play where Gerrard plays or even next to him.
If we sell Lucas I think we need another one.
If we don't then Lucas better get some form back quick or Can better adapt quickly to the Prem.

Forgot about those Song rumours. Him and another striker and hopefully we'll be set for the season.
Can anyone really see us signing Alex song?

Yes if Lucas is on his way..
Maybe KLS.
Why not?
I can see Barca letting him go, so we would have as much chance as anyone if that happened and we are interested.
Also Falcao on loan would be excellent. Even if there's no option to buy.
He'll want to prove himself to Real Madrid I'm sure, so will be on a hot streak of form one hopes.

Great bit of play from Hendo to win the ball yesterday and then a great ball to sterling for the first goal!
Allen coming on helped alot, should have started, really surprised at br playing lucas and gerrard, hopefully never again
I can see Lucas going out on loan possibly (Napoli) and us getting Song on loan. I doubt we will buy Song.
Maybe we should have had a word with barca when we were in negotiations about Suarez??
Barca manager Luis Enrique says he's still after more players this summer, so wouldn't surprise me if one or two went out the door either.
