Sunderland v Liverpool Sky Sports 1 & HD1 at 1pm 20th March

gernon

Any thoughts ? Will Carroll start?

tommyhaas

No crests? Controversial...

jaykay74

Hoping to see Danny Wellbeck feature today. Will be interesting to see if Liverpool have a strong finish to the season or if it peters out now that they can't win anything. I predict dull 0-0

Cantona's Collars

Carroll to start and Liverpool to play like Stoke,just as they did Thursday,2-1 to Sunderland. (Want Mereleis to score due to Fantasy Football).

The King Kenny effect has worn off and Liverpool have reverted to type,playing bland one dimensional football.

kippy

Suaraz to score the winner in a 3-2 thriller.

SlickRic

Liverpool, with Suarez in the team, won't need to play like Stoke.

a conservative 1-1 prediction from me.

Coillte_Bhoy

Is this a 1pm kick off?

Johner

2-1 Sunderland.

I'll be having a bit on Sunderland at 15/8.

Today's team, or so I'm hearing:

---

Reina

---

Carra

---

Skrtel

---

Kygriakos----Johnson

---

Spearing

---

---

Lucas

---

Meireles

---

---

Kuyt

---

Carroll

---

Suarez

---

That's a central defensive trio that inspires no confidence.

Good forward line though

Blatter

2-0 Sunderland.

They have been excellent at home this season for the most part whereas Liverpool have been dreadful on the road.

Only see one winner in this.

The Muppet

Tough game today, Brucie has Sunderland performing well, I will go for a Sunderland win.

flahavaj

Despite the best efforts of Beach Ball, that Liverpool front line will have too much for Sunderland.

1-3. Hope Welbeck continues his good form, Carroll to open his account to the dismay of the Sunderland faithful, Suarez to shine again.

Tusky

I despair at Spearing getting repeated starts. I really hope we sort out that position in the summer and we never have to see him in a Liverpool shirt again.

Really looking forward to seeing Carroll and Suarez together.

No 1.30, coverage from 1pm

K-9

Wouldn't inspire defensively but it would be as good as attacking team as he could put out.

Our Away form is as good as anybody under Kenny.

K-9

Agger and Skyrtel are playing. Think Agger will be LB.

K-9

Team: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Skrtel, Spearing, Lucas, Meireles, Suarez, Kuyt, Carroll.

Subs: Gulacsi, Kyrgiakos, Wilson, Cole, Maxi, Poulsen, Ngog.

4-4-2?

Paully D

1-2 Liverpool

We won't be able to handle Carroll.

Reina
Johnson Carra Skrtel Agger

Spearing Lucas

Meireles
Kuyt

Carroll---Saurez

I hope. Could be 4-3-3

K-9

It's an interesting team selection, maybe 4-2-3-1 with Suarez turning up anywhere.

Its either Poulsen of Spearing so I'd probably have Spearing over him tbh.

Paully D

Re-jig from the provisional team I was given last night. Mensah's fit to play which means the defensive 4 changes and Cattermole doesn't start, according to the website.

K-9

When Gerrard is back that's a decent team, need a couple of defenders and a DM though.

Just took my seat here at the stadium, Liverpool just after coming out to warm up, the stadium doesn't have many in it and the boo's for Carroll are still pretty loud! Can't wait until it is full

That_Guy

Come on Liverpool.

blockedPaT

Good to see Carroll and Suarez start together
Going for 2-1 liverpool

th3 s1aught3r

Who is going to provide the width for crosses to Carroll
Or will we be hoofing it again

Headshot

Lol @ the beach ball bit on sky sports

ilovelamp2000

With Spearing and Lucas in midfield I think it's safe to assume we'll be hoofing a bit.

Suarez should add something, barring that, same as it always was, nobody unless Johnson and Agger attack.

mike65

Need to get the ball from Agger and Johnson (unless he is getting down the wing) to Meireles and Suarez

There's no point in signing Carroll unless ye also invest in some genuine width and more importantly good crossers of the ball. Someone along the lines of Anto Valancia would be just what ye need.

If ye don't ye could very easily turn into long ball merchants.

Jax Teller

Best football of the day there played by Steve Bruces dogs

Suarez and Carroll

Spearing :eek:

tbh i prefered your defence without Mensah ... Id say he'll enjoy squaring up to Suarez

I'd be shocked if no width was purchased in the summer. I'd say it's definitely in the plans

Makes more sense that.

missed the teams at the start whats confirmed formation... 4 4 2?

Tusky

Interesting thing about todays selection is that every wide player for Liverpool (2 full backs and 2 wingers) is playing out of position.

Seems a bit of a 4-4-1-1, I'd say it'll change a fair bit, Suarez will be everywhere.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

So clever from Suarez..
