I think it will definitely be a 4-4-2, but I'd like to see it more as a 4-2-2-2. Something like this:

Johnson-Skrtel/Toure-Agger-Cissokho/Flanno/Enrique
Gerrard-Lucas/Allen
Henderson-----------Coutinho
Suarez---------------------------Sturridge

Any news on transfers? This Salah deal doesn't seem to be as imminent as once thought, and I think we need to bring in another full back and holding midfielder to be ready for the long haul. Anyone heard anything?
Seeing that Basel might want to wait on selling Salah until they can find a replacement for him.

Also, Wisdom will be staying with Derby for the rest of the season and as a part of the agreement we will be given the first option to buy Will Hughes.

That seems like the most likely rumors out there as of now.

I'd imagine a 4-2-2-2... neither Sterling or Coutinho stay wide, both drift inside

Sad that I was coming here, not to find out if we won, but rather to make sure no one was injured. Since there were no posts, I'm hoping/guessing there were none. I'll check the usual sources in a bit anyway.

Kind of hoping we just play the young guys in the FA cup from here, maybe sprinkling in some of the top 11 and subbing them out.

I know Aspas got injured with about 10 to go. Not sure how serious it was.

Could we recall Assaidi and send back Moses?

An assist for Stoke today

Apparently, Suso has come out and denied the claims that he was out drinking and missed training, therefore being benched...

I watched the Almeria match on Bein yesterday hoping to see him play, but he only came on in the dying minutes...

There were no posts because no one actually got to watch it. Even those of us with LFC tv. I still have no clue at all what happened other than the score line.

Highlights

Not the best quality, but better than nothing. There was another site that had a similar video but taken down so not sure how long this will last

I think I suggested this in one of the match threads. Can we just swap Assaidi for Moses?

Was just playing a bit of Football Manager 2014. Liverpool signed Michael Bradley. If this were to actually happen, who's spot would he take in our lineup?

While I don't think he'd jump in to be a straight starter, but to answer your question, Allen. Now that I think about it, I'd love to see him in this team for Allen. No offense to Joe, but Bradley would have been much cheaper, and IMO, offers a lot of similar qualities

Good quality replay of Aspas's goal in multiple angles.

Watching his interview on LFC TV makes me feel terrible for the kid. He's so nervous when he' speaking. Voice cracking and almost seemed on the verge of tears at a point. He needs the supporters' backing right now more than anything. Hopefully he can keep it up and be a meaningful contributor in the future cup matches.

The guy is 26. I would expect this from Sterling or Ibe, but Aspas?

True I forgot about that. Maybe its the culture shock? His English is awful. Most of the time they give him an interpreter. Regardless, confidence seems to be his biggest issue. He said as much in an interview done a few days ago.

yeah, that interview was awkward, but I give him credit for even attempting it in English...

Tevez was in England, what 5-6 years and never bothered to learn it...

I was blown away that he actually tried to speak it. Every single other time I've seen him spoken to it was through translator, so it seems he may be committed to improving himself and staying here. For a player in his situation to show that type of commitment to learn and speak the native language says a lot about his desire to prove he belongs. I'm really pulling for an Allen-esque turnaround for him. He seems to have something still to offer the squad that's just waiting to come to fruition.
