Man Utd v Liverpool, 14th Dec, 1.30PM K/O, Mod Note 1st Post

El Inho · 14-12-2014 2:00pm

I've been calling for Jonesy to get the start for weeks now...

I've called for it before Stoke, Palace etc etc....

For United it's madness....

but madness might just work...

It stinks of Rodgers trying to prove that he can make big calls.

Odds for Phil Jones getting injured?

billymitchell · 14-12-2014 2:02pm

I didnt think i would be saying this a few months ago, but i really wish Kolo and Lucas were in the Liverpool team today, other than that, the team is as strong as we can field right now. Mig and Lambert have done nothing recently to deserve to start.

Think Lovren's future could be on the line today - in the eyes of supporters at least. Coming back in at the expense of the one Liverpool player who has been impressive in the last month, he needs a huge performance.

Lvg is the interview legend
Lol he's hilarious

To be fair Mignolet has been very poor this season, can't imagine Jones being any worse but just seems like a strange game to do it in, surely he would have been better off dropping him a few weeks ago when he was even shakier. Lucas and Toure should feel hard done by not to be starting, both have played well lately, but perhaps they could do with a rest as they have both been playing a lot of games lately. Apart from that I'm fairly happy with the team selection, I think we will be better off playing with no centre forward, Balotelli and Lambert offer very little and hopefully with the likes of Coutinho, Lallana and Sterling making runs it will make us a bit more of a threat going forward.

Uniteds team is incredibly attacking, only two defenders in their starting XI.

Or he's trying to get the sack and a big pay cheque.

What he say?

No recognised striker starting and a worse keeper than Mignolet takes his place for Liverpool.

United have their problems too, but I'm going with United by 2.

Jones????? Is Mig injured?

No, he's just shite.

cj maxx · 14-12-2014 2:12pm

Dont understand if mig is dropped for an even shakier keeper,!

Blue giant · 14-12-2014 2:14pm

I think Wilson could impress today. He has bags of pace. Reckon he could get on the score sheet today.

Would love to see one of the United players kiss the camera after scoring

citytillidie · 14-12-2014 2:15pm

Just seen the team ahh well

Yeah, the stuff Mig does badly Jones dies just as bad or worse.

The stuff Mig does well Jones can't do.

Weird stuff

ctrl-alt-delete · 14-12-2014 2:18pm

It is strange timing to drop Mignolet for me.

A massive game with huge pressure heaped onto Jones now. He has never struck me as the type to thrive on it.

You never know though, he has sat in reserve for a long time and maybe he is ready to take his chance.

The Moldy Gowl · 14-12-2014 2:18pm

No matter what the score. We will all be winners today.

Such a peaceful pre match thread.

Was asked a question about why he has chosen Wilson ahead of falcoa. Just the way he responded

"Speed!!"
"Point!!"

The Moldy Gowl · 14-12-2014 2:20pm

Also can someone pm their favourite gowl?

Winky face

Soups123 · 14-12-2014 2:20pm

I recon this game is going to be the opposite of what it should be so 0-0

Carragher: "Some people are saying that this isn't the same team that you [Solskjaer], Gary Neville and all those others guys played in, but..."

Hold on Jamie... YOU said that. You said it less than 10 minutes ago when talking about if there was any chance of winning the league this year if the gap is closed by New Year!! :pac:

I love those hype promos Sky produce.

Osmosis Jones · 14-12-2014 2:22pm

It's sad that there's barely even enough footage of Liverpool playing well for the Sky Sports pre game montage

westernfrenzy · 14-12-2014 2:23pm

Strange decisions for both starting XI.

Zerks pointed out he also said " Small teams do good against man utd so it should be difficult "

Rabble rabble rabble 2 awful teams.

How do the yanks cope with so many ad breaks? It's fuckin mental.

OwaynOTT · 14-12-2014 2:25pm

How the heck can anyone think Jones is a better option than Mignolet? Remember the times he actually played?

Anyway I think Liverpool will win this and beat Arsenal next as well but get knocked out of the League Cup.
