Charlton v Liverpool match thread...

mike65

No Gerrard tonight and maybe Saturday so a reshuffled midfield which should mean Luis Garcia or Cisse wide, though I guess narrower formation could mean Finnan plays as a wing-back but I doubt it.

Liverpool really do have to win this one, so do Charlton.

My best guess line-up/formation

---

Du Du Dudek
Finnan---Cara--Hyypia---Risse
Garcia-Alonso-Hamann-Kewell

---

Cisse---Crouch

Subs - Carson, Morientes, Sissoko, Warnock, Fowler

Which I dont want to see but....

Chucky the tree

was waiting for the thread. Must win for liverpool. Gonna be tough without gerrard. Hopefully the lads will step up to the mark though.

apparently garcia didn't travel but i cant confirm yet. Would like to see agger in for hyppia. kromkamp at left full with finnan on the wing?

Chucky the tree

kromkamp righ full you mean? If garcia didnt travel he will probaly go with cisse.






are radio5 doing it live?

Tusky

your lineups are more likely..although it could be something like this as I think Rafa has completely lost faith in moro & cisse.

---

Dudek
finnan cara hypia warnock
kromp alonso hamann risse

---

Kewell

---

Crouch (Fowler?)

Liverpool MUST win. Liverpools record for going so many games without a goal conceeded is such a distant memory. 10 goals conceeded in the last 7 games played and only 11 goals scored ( 5 of these in the luton game ).

The Muppet

Charlton will put it up to Liverpool , Can't see Liverpool score without Gerrard. Is it on the box?

No.


Chelsea vs everton is on bbc at 8pm though.

If Garcia is out thats a pity, he can turn a match in moment. Kronkamp at RB with Finnan wide would be good as Finnan can control and acurately cross the ball which is more than Cisse can do most of the time.

If I had my way Cisse wouldnt be even on the bench. Waste of space., hes been given enough chances.

Traore ? Cisse ? Two strikers that are slow as snails ?

~Rebel~

Really surprised by Sissoko starting. Figured without gerrard we'd have the much more experienced hamman, but guess not! Has Garciapicked up an injury or something to keep him out altogether? As much as he loses the ball id take him over cisse on the wing who drifts in and out of the game so much he's like half a player! Praying we can get the win tonight. At least we won't be up against Danny "Boy" Murphy anyway. Always dread comin up against ex reds playing well cause they always seem to have a point to prove - and usually end up proving it! Pool 2-1. Hope Dudek grasps his final opertunity with both hands!

<edit> Just realised Traore is starting, let me make that 4-2 to charlton.

traore with 2 and cisse to grab and late winner...

cheers for the link!



fisrt time i have ever heard a female commentator.

Tusky

Liverpool are all over them...but whos going to score ? Crouch should have had one early on but fell flat on his face. Kewell looking dangerous.

Fowler warming up.

Penalty and dudek with a yellow

Typical, have all the play and then a penalty against Dudek. We'll lose 1-0.

Dudek, hence the yellow card.

Barely any contact...Carragher also given a yellow card for contesting, Liverpool must have had 95% possession in that half.

2-0 :d

Such is life.

Make that 2-0

jcoote

welcome to last season lads...dudek is a donkey...fowler hat trick would be a fitting second half

HashSlinging

ah man. this is very bad, 2 - 0 down ? Fowler on now has to be..

Why do people show such faith in him ? He hasnt performed in a long time. I still think he needs to be brought on though, Crouch is playing terrible

flanzer

Fcuk....this is gonna need someone on Liverpool team to turn this on it's head.....looking around (without Gerrard)..................... let me see......... hmmm.......... :mad: still thinking............... hmm..............still thinking.................RAFA, GET FOWLER ON FFS

its not faith in fowler we have (well it is a bit) its a lack of faith in the rest of the strikers

fade2black

Haha, you Liverpool fans make me laugh, what do you think Fowler is?

Not even half the player he was 5 years ago is your answer.

And Tusky, Liverpool may be getting a lot of possession but they're doing very little with it, and certainly don't look like scoring.

Never said they did looked like scoring.. Sell Cisse, Morientes & Crouch at end of season I say.

PiE

Absolute joke. Stevie, get outta there before the rest of the team break your back.

mada999

this is a joke.....

zAbbo

A little faith lads, if its possible for them to score 2 in the first half, is it not possible for liverpool todo the same in the second

mike65

Don't blame the team blame Rafa, thats his attacking decision out there.

Okay blame the team too.

probably injured because of a back injury - too much load bearing

i was going to post earliar when i saw the line up to say "any half competant manager should be sacked if his team cant beat that liverpool team"

man, what a piss poor line up if ever i saw one

jcoote

the starting 11 is brilliant but the is about as much depth to the squad as a childs paddling pool

errr...apart from Traore & Cisse ( who is actually playing well ) I dont see whats wrong with it. Apart from the two hopeless strikers but theres not exactly much choice in that are of the pitch.

dude thats 4 players, theres only 11 on the team.

sissoko in the middle with alonso, sissoko hasnt got a creative bone in his body and alonso would get a nose bleed if he went too close to the oppositions box. u just dont put those 2 together in the middle and expect ANY penetration through the centre

Sissoko and Alonso have started in the middle for almost every game this season...also, is that not kind of the idea ? one is a tough tackler and the other is a creative passer of the ball ?

Thanx 4 The Fish

(Getting a nosebleed when he goes too far up the pitch) Alonso has scored a couple from the edge of the box this season alone, do you actually watch the football or just read about it here and try to bluff it ?

mike65

If you can stand some female commentary heres the linkage

Crouch off, Fowler on.

Mike.

Crouch off...God on.....Crouch couldn't even finish his dinner!!
