I think that Rodgers should look to play 2 up front and I'd go with Borini and Balotelli.

Absolutely agree with this. Watched the game with two mates and we all thought it was much better with two up front. I did hear that Sturridge is very close to returning and actually had a fitness test before the game. Anyone heard anything?
The issue is that we need to lose a striker and probably one or two others in January to meet FFP.
Rumours are that they want Sakho out of the door along with Johnson and either Balo or Borini.
Those latter two seem tricky. I'd be surprised if Rodgers gives up on Balo that quickly, while Borini has already shown that he wants to stay once, and I don't see why he wouldn't do so again.
The details of Ballo moving to Liverpool were never fully revealed and he may actually only be on loan (at least, those are some circling rumours). Borini has stayed, fought and he still can't get a start, even over a massively misfiring Ballo so when Studge is back maybe the writing will be on the wall for him. I can see rodgers moving back to the SAS formation when Studge is back and they rarely got subbed and if they did it was for a midfielder.
