Reading Utd v Liverpool fc 15.00 hrs

mike65

Confirmed #LFC team v Reading:

Reina, Enrique, Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Lucas, Henderson, Gerrard, Sturridge, Suarez, Coutinho.

#LFC subs: Jones, Assaidi, Downing, Coates, Suso, Shelvey, Skrtel.


Reading - McCarthy, Mariappa, Gunter, Kelly, Morrison, Guthrie, McAnuff, Karacan, McCleary, Hunt, Pogrebnyak

Subs Pearce, Le Fondre, Harte, Carriço, Blackman, Taylor


Reading are going down but that doesn't mean they will stop trying so after the torpor of Liverpools game against West Ham some greater application will be required esp from the middle. The three pronged attack means Henderson will have to get busy covering with Gerrard probably the one looking to feed the ball to Suarez along with the full backs to Sturridge and Coutinho.

Happy to see Sturridge start ahead of Downing today.

I'm pretty sure this is on Setanta Ireland as well.

I fancy a Reading fight today. Score draw.

Midlife Crashes

Guys at Setanta still think Mcdermott is Reading manager...

mike65

I hope Reading think they still can rescue this as it'll encourage them to come out and play, which clearly helps Liverpool.

On a side matter the Liverpool U18 scratch side (cos of the youth cup yesterday) beat Wolves this morning 4-0 with a side 15 years and 4 months old average.

4-0

Henderson, suarez a couple and sturidge

Already Reading are allowing Suarez to drift into the hole between attack and midfield and aren't looking to follow him. Now, we haven't exploited it, but its strange when you consider how well Collins did last week by following him into those areas.

Maybe the threat of Sturridge is what is making them keep to there flat back four.

Looking forward to seeing Suarez and Sturridge upfront. Really want to see both of them tearing the opposition apart

Truly awful for the first ten minutes.

Team not pressing as unit.

mike65

Lethargy again.

livinginkorea

Great stop of the line...nice work Suarez

Was going to say that we don't seem to be pressing up top that much atall

Slow start no doubt

*edit Dear god what a clearance!

Nice play to work the opening.

Far too casual! Should have whacked that.

kevohmsford

Suarez should have blasted that shot

Completely disagree, keeper was out fast

Unlucky. Decent attack there, hopefully we keep it up as its been poor up until now.

mike65

Suarez really needs to work on the old offside shuffle.

anyone got a link for a sick boy in bed?:o

djPSB

The players have so much time on the ball, they don't know what to do.

F*ck off Sturridge.

livinginkorea

Crap...Carra with a free header. Would have loved to see him score.

markie29

how have we not scored yet!

BorneTobyWilde

Could be 2-0 up
If we scored twice
And they scored none

klose

Jaysus imagine carra scoring! Would love to see that before he heads off

D'Agger

He'd have scored if it was down his own end :pac:

Sturridge's touch was poor there. Did well after to get past defender and get the shot in however.

Carra so close!

mike65

Carra should have scored!

Trevor Francis "its amazing Liverpool haven't scored"

Me "no it isn't"

Wake up Sturridge

"a shot from the diminutive Coutinho"

'Diminutive, meaning slight, or small'

Gettin' all educated here.

Grayditch

Couthinho is brilliant at passing, dribbling and shooting. That's eh...dead handy.

Sturridge looks a bit off.

djPSB

Sturridge needs to play through the middle.

Take him if he dosen't improve.

LFC need to score here ...Reading out their depth

Spot on from Kaiser. I'll be disgusted if we don't get one before half time. Even more if we don't win.

That "always the victim" being sung by what sounded like the whole Reading support.
Just did it again there.

mike65

"always the victim" Reading supporters are a bit dim.

I think it's time to get reading again if you're getting an education from Setanta Sports :pac:

D'Agger

Very poor from Henderson there....and Johnson - somebody should've just given a shout of 'time' ffs

mike65

General lack of "omph" again.

Liverpool need to do more work on the ball and off it, their passing is not good enough to use the ball for the work.
