Catch-22.

He's still woefully short of full match fitness naturally, and will be a certain starter in the 100 mile an hour frenzy of the Derby Sunday.

How do you get that without playing games? But you don't want to over do it. I'd of had him on the bench at the least tomorrow personally.

What makes it more frustrating is he's liable to rest Ings too with Benteke out and play Origi on his own up front again. This is a very loosable game the side he's liable to put out there which is a joke in itself considering the opposition. With back-to-backs against Kazan to follow, like Utd tonight, this is a must win game.

But with the clubs attitude toward the Europa, I aren't expecting a W. Sighs.
 
According to Echo this will be our team:

Mignolet; Can, Toure, Gomez; Clyne, Rossiter, Allen, Moreno; Ibe, Origi, Lallana.

Subs: Bogdan, Skrtel, Sakho, Lucas, Milner, Coutinho, Ings

Would it surprise you? The fella's a fool to himself. EVERYTHING on the league. What good anyone thinks another disastrous Europa campaign will do for him/ us if/ when we return the Chanpions League is anyone's guess?

But when sadly the club (disgracefully) aren't arsed about the Europa he gets away with it.
 
Unless he and we get exceptionally lucky, we could be out of Europe by the end of the middle back-to-back's in Kazan.

On the plus side, at least Sion and their 500 allocation for the last group game will be easier to get hold of. Hey, I need SOME positive to take from this ****!
 
Few bits from The Times' Oliver Kay:

Oliver Kay: (On why FSG won't go for #Klopp "FSG do seem a little worried about appointing a forceful personality"

Kay: "Rodgers is a forceful personality too, though -- perhaps a little too forceful for FSG. I'm probably saying they want a yes man"

Kay: "They do seem to want a coach who fits unquestioningly into their model "

Kay: " even though their "model", while sensible in theory, and their judgement remain unproven."

Kay: "Anyway, as things stand, I believe FSG's intention, for now, is to give Rodgers the time to prove himself,"
 
Reading an article on how **** English teams have been in Europe the last few years. Nils Arne Eggen (Rosenborg manager legend) has (as usual) a few humorous remarks to make:

"Their wallets are so fat they can no longer run"

"I'm enjoying myself when the English teams are doing poorly. They're ruining football."

"They pay fortunes for average players. They're controlled by filthy rich owners who aren't interested in building teams."

Not that we'll get there, but next year's Super Cup. In Trondheim.

It's bad enough UEFA moving away from Monaco, but WTF is that all about?

Personally I think it's ******* awesome, but that might be due to the fact I live in Trondheim. Rosenborg are celebrating their 100th year anniversary in a couple of years, and they initially wanted it then (2017).
 
Nils Arne Eggen's quotability puts the likes of Mourinho to shame by the way. Here's a taste:

"It's not very wise to out defensively against on us Lerkendal, you know. That's like sending Salman Rushdie on a bicycle trip in Teheran."

"You gotta hand it to Real Madrid, at least they tried." (After beating them 2-0)

"When you talk as much as I do, you sometimes get things wrong."

"My French is better after midnight."

"Life is like a dream some times. Especially when I look down and realize I forgot to put on pants."

"It was terrible defending. Especially Christer Basma does a lot of silly stuff. It looked like both his legs were plastered."

"I never said I'd stopped smoking. I'm just not smoking right now."

"Wow, John [Carew]. With all that gold you're actually starting to look like a negro."

"That Morgan Andersen, or whatever his name is, should try to shut up. He's basically asphalted from his collar bone and up, you know, so there's no reason to take it seriously."

"No, there aren't more definitions of it [good football]. That's just what you think. Good football is playing fast and controlled forwards, with lots of movement, good crosses and good runs. Basically it's about creating chances and scoring goals."

"The more you win, the more important winning with style becomes."

And a couple that aren't translated, but things he actually said during interviews given in English (his English is horrible):

"We play with 2 stoppers and 3 spisses." (Centreback = (Midt)stopper. Striker = Spiss.)

"My grammar is bad, but my meaning is good."

"There is hope in a hanging snore." (He tried to translate a Norwegian saying, something along the lines of "There's hope hanging in a thin thread". Thread = Snøre, I guess he forgot to translate that word)
