Spiritoftheseventies

Barclays Premier League
Venue: Anfield Date: Monday, 19 April 2010 Kick-off: 2000 BST

Reasons to be cheerful. Not many. But we walk on. Torres is out but hopefully we can finish out the season on a high.
Thankfully we are spared a night of 3e coverage. Game on ESPN.

I actually want Liverpool to win this, would like them to still be playing for something against Chelsea.

1-0 Liverpool.

I dont think United fans care enough to troll anymore.

F1ngers

Heading out to watch this.

Come on the Hammers...Would be delighted to take a point tonight.

No Torres, like that.

Gillington

Hard to see where goals are gonna come from for Liverpool without Torres.Dont rate Ngog really and Maxi,Babel and Kuyt can blow hot or cold.The D.Agger for first goal!

Meh 0 - 0 Meh

5-3 to Liverpool.......

We need a win to pull away from Everton.

Torres out is terrible news for us.

Score draw or a scrappy one goal win for Liverpool.

Le King

Liverpool by a couple, have them for something to play for on May 2nd

Like the look of that team.

No need for Lucas and Mash tonight imo..

Kess73

Well that's if that line up is correct. My brother texted it to me from the ground.

it's good he may have realised that with 4 games to go.

Am I missing something ?

Dirk Kuyt returns to Liverpool's starting line-up in the absence of the injured Fernando Torres against West Ham United at Anfield tonight - a game you can listen to live online from 8pm.

The Dutchman will support David Ngog in attack, while there are also starts for Lucas Leiva and Yossi Benayoun.

Javier Mascherano, Alberto Aquilani and Ryan Babel drop to the bench.

Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Agger, Maxi, Gerrard, Lucas, Benayoun, Kuyt, Ngog. Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, Babel, Mascherano, Degen, El Zhar, Ayala.

Aquilani and Babel on the bench makes Tusky a sad panda.

Nope. Cant believe Aqua on bench again.

Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Agger, Maxi, Gerrard, Lucas, Benayoun, Kuyt, Ngog.

Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, Babel, Mascherano, Degen, El Zhar, Ayala.


West Ham: Green, Faubert, da Costa, Upson, Spector, Behrami, Kovac, Noble, Stanislas, Cole, Ilan.

Subs: Kurucz, Gabbidon, Franco, Mido, McCarthy, Diamanti, Daprela.

D'Agger

Mother of divine fúck will we ever get to see enough of Aquilani to actually form an opinion on him as a player!!

I actually preferred kess's team !

SlickRic

if this isn't a game for Aquilani i don't know what is.

ffs.

I know - its brain numbingly frustrating. At home with practically nothing to play for it in the league. To West Ham. A team that like to play football. A team 4th from bottom.

I cant think of a reason for him not playing and it really has been a waste of money in the context of this season. We all know that on Thursday it will be Masch and Lucas in the middle as we are playing away.

Stevecw

No way. I saw the 1st team that was posted and I went and stuck a few bob on Aqua to score 1st goal!!!

Defintely would rather see him have started that Ngog.

From Guardian

1963. John F. Kennedy assasinated. Dr No, the first James Bond film, screens in US cinemas. Pope John XXIII dies. Pope Paul VI succeeds him. The Great Train Robbery takes place in Buckinghamshire. Marvel Comics releases the first ever X-Men comic book. Alec Douglas-Home succeeds Harold Macmillan as Prime Minister. The Beatles' second album, With The Beatles, is released. Barcelona bring their coach journey to reach Milan for their game against Inter tomorrow. And West Ham win at Anfield, beating Liverpool 2-1 thanks to goals from Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters.

Le King

I liked Aquilani at Roma. Rafa obviously liked him too. But not any more it seems. Something is clearly not right there.

Craig Burley says Aqua not good enough in Rafas eyes and prefers the two holding midfielders.

Kess73

Have texted my brother back to inform him that he needs to improve on his team news if he ever wants to come over to Ireland again.:)

Kess73

The little toerag has texted back to defend his team by saying that Aquilani must have caught a virus during the warm up.

C'mon Liverpool!!

Text this back to him. "[name of your brother], you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a friend, you're not a liverpool fan. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house, I dont want to see you near Anfield".
Borrowed from the Godfather but you get the gist

OR just text him "Know your stuff before texting next time."
Simple.

Nah I stay at his house when I go back to Liverpool so cannot disown him.:D Might leave a horse's head in his bed though.

Well I suppose he did have ten out of the eleven right. Plus at my 6'3 I am smaller than the bugger so will have to wait until his back is turned.

Dunno about that - he's impressed me two or three times when he's been given a chance, he certainly looked to be playing his way into contention for the remaining games this season - as SlicRic said - tonight's made for him and it's a pain in the balls seeing him on the bench

Spiritoftheseventies

Gerrard seems a bit happier than usual. Normally looks very tense in the tunnel.

OOOh! just offside with the keeper hailing a cab.

Good effort Maxi. Would be nice to see him on the scoresheet tonight

A fair proportion of those seats would be supporters groups who cant make the game due to the volcano id guess.

whatawaster

Aquilani is still going to need time to settle in to the premier league because he's not getting chances in games like this. FFS
