Supposedly the ones who have just arrived won't be playing tomorrow(?) which is fair enough because they'll need to get rest and then start training. I wonder if we'll have the same teams for first and second half again, or if Rodgers is going to mix it up and see who works best with each other.

If we're going to do the two half teams again, I'd like to see;

 

1st Half - Gulacsi; Flanagan, Carragher, Agger, Enrique; Henderson, Shelvey, Suso; Downing, Cole, Carroll

 

2nd Half - Jones; Johnson, Skrtel, Wilson, Robinson; Spearing, Aquilani, Gerrard; Sterling, Pacheco, Borini

 

Mix it up a little bit from the first game, probably forgot a few players. Lucas to make a cameo 10 minutes somewhere aswell.

I'd like him to play more centre, like where Ramsay was, just behind our forward. That's if he comes though.

I thought Arteta played behind the striker? Plus with Wilshire and Diaby coming back I can't imagine there being much room in the middle barring injury.

 

Doesn't look like the Euro lads will feature much over the next two games.

 

Asked at a press conference at Fenway Park whether Gerrard and co will feature, Rodgers replied: "As much as I'd like to put them into games straight away, you can't do that. Physically, it's not what you can do.

"The players who've been training for two and a half weeks will play a big part in these next two games and we've got to manage the other players and get them tapped back into the physical side.

"We'll increase that as the days go forward. But it's great to get them back, get to work, and we can move forward from here.

"It was great to see them last night and then on the training field this morning. The group has been brilliant these past couple of weeks in terms of their work but when you get players back of the quality of those who've been off, then it's great.

"It's going to take a bit of time for the group to be the kind of structured group we want them to be."

Rodgers was also asked about the future of Andy Carroll.

He said: "Andy is a terrific young player. I had a brief chat with all the lads and over the next couple of weeks I'll be able to speak to them with more confidence and on a one to one basis.

"There is no doubt he is a terrific talent. There has been a lot of unfair criticism aimed towards Andy.

"He is a player who can play in a number of styles and it was a wee bit unfair on him (for people) to say he couldn't fit into the way I would want to play.

"For me, your game is based on your players, the players you have. I am here to win games.

"We've got a number of very, very talented players in the group, of which Andy is one."

All this Lucas talk is boring...

 

AC Milan offering refunds to people that have purchased a season ticket after selling their two main players. LOL

Guess which two players they chose to place on their season tickets...

 

Also, Pippo Inzaghi retired today. Absolute legend. The fox in the box.
