Thats junior though, maybe he's becoming a "native" already.

Gald to see someone talking about Lucas on this thread, he really is looking like a steal for the 5 million we paid for him. Wouldn't be surprised if Momo goes once we secure Masc. The midfield song won't work as well tho

Chardee MacDennis

8 million i think....

The lets try impose ourselves on them game ? The maybe 1 or 2 shots/chances on target that were not hoofers from 30 yards ? The let's not be counter-attacked game which derived from playing a negative game ? Yet, still it failed alas like the last few years attempts have it seems.Strangely enough none of them home defeats came from playing an open game which is last time i checked an attacking game.The Pool are good enough to beat United, like all top teams are, but unlike Arsenal, not by attacking them.The negative game suits the Pool why change it ? Recent history shows gaining a 1:0 win by playing sleeptastic football works sometimes , then why change ???

I seem to remember Liverpool having the better chances and playing the better football on the day in that game. Very unlucky not to get a result.

5 million pounds. 8 million euro.

Anyone think Liverpool have been negative recently and that we'll "revert to type" for Man Utd?

I'm pretty sure I remember reading in here after the Arsenal game that it's all about the result. Doesn't matter who played better and controlled the passing, it all comes down to goals scored!

Xabi Alonso, lucas Lev-ia, gerard and Mascheranoooooooooo-o-ooo.:)

The Better footballers more than make up for the slight drop in tune.

I agree...but I was replying to a post about the way the teams played rather than the scoreline.

considering some of the dross that gets bought and sold in the PL for 5m thats a bargain....

Chardee MacDennis

The Reds team in full: Reina, Arbeloa, Riise, Hobbs, Carragher, Gerrard, Mascherano, Sissoko, Voronin, Torres, Crouch. Subs: Itandje, Hyypia, Kewell, Kuyt, Babel

Guy:Incognito

Wheres the logic in playing Carragher and droppign Hyypia when carra is 1 card from a suspension It's bound to happen now. Surely giving Hobbs a game was the ideal time to rest Carra.

machiavellianme

I like the look of that team. Hope Hobbs does well. Midfield looks unusual to say the least but at least we have our 2 best strikers up front

mike65

Bizarre. Hyypia/Agger for Utd then. Sissoko with Masch and Gerrard right/Riise left.

Mike.

Chardee MacDennis

nice strong bench though.

is this the formation then?

---

Reina

---

Hobbs-Carra-Arbeloa

---

Masch-Sissoko
--Gerrard

---

Riise

---

Voronin

---

Torres----Crouch

bah i'm off to play football manager!

mike65

I misread that line up, no Finnan so its 4-3-3 then?

---

Reina
Arbeloa-Hobbs-Carra-Riise
Gerrard---Sissoko---Masch
--Crouch--Torres-Voronin

Yikes

Mike.

Chardee MacDennis

---

Reina
Arbeloa-Hobbs-Hyypia-Riise
Gerrard-Sissoko-Masch-Voronin

---

Crouch--Torres

maybe? voronin plays on the left for the ukraine i think?

Tusky

That is one weird lineup. Three center midfielders and no wingers ? Unless Voronin is going to play on the wing ? V.strange. I think youve got it pretty much right although it could be this.

Arbeloa--Hobbs--Carragher--Riise

---Gerrard--Mascherano--Sissoko

---

Voronin

---

Torres--Crouch

Also, if Hobbs is being given a start, it should be in place of Carragher considering he is on 4 yellows. Maybe Hyypia is proper knackered though ?

Wouldve thought 442 with Voronin deeper than usual and playing a similar role to Stevie. Can see Carra coming off after 60minutes once the game is won (hopefully)

Yeah actually, that looks like a decent lineup. Suppose we will be seeing Kewell, Babel, Benayoun, Hyypia & Kuyt come in against Marseille then.

sweetie

any streams for this?

yayamark

imo hes taking a risk with hobbs and voronin 2 players im not sure about

RE; Hypia i like him but when playing against fast forwards hes lost, ask urself the question if ferguson had him would he have got rid of him by now.

PHB

Yeh I think whatawaster has that right. Hyypia obviously being rested as he's set to play in the Marseille and United games then. Carragher one booking away is really cutting it fine, losing him for the United match would be catastrophic.

found one on Tvu. american though, it's gas listenng to them.

Decent picture and English commentary

Chardee MacDennis

star sports on TVU is perfect.

yayamark

watching it on setanta 1

Perfect

Any predictions

2 nil pool?

Chardee MacDennis

early i know but at least Hobbs doesnt look nervous on the ball. good to see that form a debutant!

Chardee MacDennis

jesus sissoko offers nothing with mascherano in the team. another example of his pi$$ poor passing

shotamoose

Sissoko and Riise up to their usual tricks I see.

yayamark

pen ****

PHB

Did Carragher get booked? Surely he must have. No record of a booking, can't believe that wasn't given. Grr Clearly outside the box.

Chardee MacDennis

penalty to reading

OUTSIDE!!!

Thanx 4 The Fish

Was at least a yard outside the box that, never should have been a pen. Assistant has got that very wrong.

Chardee MacDennis

carra get a yellow?

~Rebel~

cock. awful decision from the assistant ref. Didnt look like Carra got a yellow at least.

PHB

No record of a yellow, nobody saw it, not recorded on the BBC. Can't believe that Real test now for Liverpool, if they come back from this they'll show real title credentials.

to be honest i think i prefer the wrong call and the pen given, then the right call and a yellow for carra. At least this way we have plenty of time to get back into this, but we really need Carra for next weekend.

Thanx 4 The Fish

good point Rebel

PHB

I would agree with ya Rebel, think you should prefer that too. Which is why I'm so annoyed :P Would have loved to face Hyypia and Hobbs in central defence.

p.s. What has happened to Finnan? Is Rafa dropping him for any reason or is it just rotation?

shotamoose

Reading playing really well, bombing down the wings, don't think our formation's working at all.

IrishMike

Have a nice wad on torres to score and liverpool to win @ 2-1
Come on fernando dont go letting me down!!!!!

Oh and sould someone please take sissoko off, id prefer to see John O Shea play
for liverpool over him at this stage.

Rafa mentioned in a recent interview that a few players were close to coming back to fitness and Finnan was one of them, so he must have picked up a bit of a knock or something. Its odd though, usually we know someone's injured when they get injured, whereas both Aurelio and Finnan just disappeared and the first we hear is when Rafa says they're nearly back.

mayordenis

that'll do steve, that'll do.

PHB

Gerrard scores grr, so anoyed about the bloody card now

shotamoose

Thank God for Torres. (Stevie G quite good too!)

Chardee MacDennis

stevie g you beaut. assist from torres with some fantastic control

~Rebel~

g'wan ya legebag! Our 2 game savers combine to get us back into this.
