Liverpool Vs. Steuea Bucharest

jonno

Well after a very disappointing start to the season Stevie G is hoping that he can lift the Uefa Cup this year afetr giving up on the title.

So in order for that to happen this team is the next one in Liverpool's path. I reckon it shoudl be an easy win at home but then again it should have been an easy win Vs. Boro, Vs. Birmingham and Vs. Charlton.

With Steve Finnan out for a month, Carra out till new year it suddenly seems a bad idea sending Babbel and Vignal out on loan. I hope GH gives Jon Otsemober a chance tomorrow night instead of playing defensive midfielder Salif Diao at right back.

Here's my team for the match:

---

Kirkland

---

Otsemober--Hyypia--Biscan--Troare
Diouf

---

Gerrard

---

Kewell

---

Le Tallac

---

---

Owen

---

Pongolle

---

But thsi is more likely to be the team GH picks:

---

Kirkland

---

Diao----Hyypia----Biscan

---

Troare
Diouf----Gerrard----Murphy/Smicer---Kewell

---

Owen

---

Heskey

---

What are yer views on it all?

BTW is it on TV (other than Channel 5)?

Thanx 4 The Fish

Have you been reading the site Jonno ? It seems that Didi is in contention for a place, I would prob start him ahead of Smicer/Murphy and let SG do a bit more attacking.
Should be an easy win, but as you said, there have been a few easy wins that weren't

jonno

I never read that article. I was surprised he was left out of the reserve team last night as he has played the last two, but obviuosly he is fitter than I thought. Maybe he is in contention for a strating place or definately on the bench. I can't wait for him to come back. Will certainly help the lack of pace that has been plaguing the middle of defence.

Me nearly too depressed to care....I like the look of your line-up Jonno but alas I fear you are right about Houlliers!

Liverpool squeak a win.....

I really hope they play Hamann and Gerard in the centre with Kewell and Diouf on the wings.

Sweet, am dying to watch a game a footie.. Damned TV is on the blink.

I only know of one place that shows the game.

Scotts in Dun Laoghaire.

However i'd bet alot more are. Its only a matter of them having UK viewing cards that can be bought on ebay.

The Avoca in B-Rock often show it as well.

LizardKing

The Swiss Cottege in Santry will be showing it too ...

Ronan|Raven

My local will have it but thats in roscommon so not much use to any of ye! Finnan is a big loss allright it is unfortunate for him to be gone for the next 4 weeks.

As for tonight sneak a win 2-1 no doubht it will be as difficult as possible

Confirmed team: LIVERPOOL: Kirkland, Diao, Hyypia, Biscan, Traore, Gerrard, Hamann, Diouf, Kewell, Pongolle, Owen.

SUBS: Dudek, Heskey, Smicer, Murphy, Riise, Le Tallec, Otsemobor.

Nice to see Pongolle and Hamann starting. Shame the match isn't on tv here

jonno

Thats a very solid team with the only weak links being at wing back positions. I think it should be an easy win (here's hoping). Hopefully if Liverpool have a lead a half time Otsemober will get 45 min.

mike65

Well what did I say?!

Mike.

Ronan|Raven

Long may your depression last Mike

jonno

Hamann played a full 90 minutes which is nice to see. Glad to have him back.

Yet again Owen is a major doubt for Sundays match Vs Brum. He was taken off with a tight tighe. FFS will this lad ever get a full run at a season

I went into the All Sports Bar to (try and) watch the match and have to say it is absolutely the worst bar I've ever been in. Only portable tvs all over the place, half of which couldn't get Channel 5 and so had Eastenders or American football on :rolleyes: Dreadful.

That place is a **** tip alright...:mad:

LizardKing

I tried the Cat and Cage as someone said it was on their too... It was not the best either , the big screen in the lounge is grand except its too low down and theres not many places to stand and watch it, so went into bar to watch there , not bad

The swiss has a better setup for watching games with 3 big screens and a good few t.v's around the place ..

Its a nice spot. The pints taste watered down but the food is rather scrumptious. As far as I know, they show an English premiership game every Saturday at 3pm.
