Says the team who have a Man Utd reject.

Liverpools best striker is a city and Chelsea reject

Probably Liverpools biggest game of the season so far.

Depressing how things have become supporters of 2 of England's 3 greatest football clubs in terms of success, support, longevity and adversity.

Can we focus on the game. In the spirit of it here's a quote from a giant of English football in terms of his legacy despite some current issues...Arsene Wenger..

Yes, of course," he said. "There’s a special atmosphere.

"I have a lot of respect for the crowd at Liverpool because they stand behind their team. I remember one day we were leading 5-1 at Liverpool and they were chanting ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. It’s one of the few grounds in the world where you can see that. There’s a special combination of knowledge of the game at Liverpool and support for their team. I have a huge respect for that."

Charlie Austin, proving that championship strikers can cut it in the PL. Jordan Rhodes is one of the most prolific at that level. I'd take a punt on him at Liverpool.

Flash in the pan striker. Fits Liverpool alright .

Why did you bother posting in this thread about Jordan Rhodes?

Was it to get the exact reaction you did, and thus bring up Welbeck again?


Sad.

Because this is a match where we need a striker. So he would be useful.

And what do you mean bring up welbeck again? I have never ever once mentioned Welbeck.

Sturridge was a young player who was never given a chance. Welbeck played enough games and wasn't good enough, just like the manager said.

We've seen Walcott at his best. It took 7 seasons for him to reach his best. We haven't seen Sterling at his best. But ya, Walcott at his best was great at his best and at his best is better than Sterling at his best. Probably because, at his best, Sterling has only played two seasons.

In all seriousness though its too simplistic to judge players at different points of their career to each of their "best" seasons or spells, especially one thats played 8 years in the EPL and one thats played 2 and a half.

Currently I'd have Sterling over Walcott every single game, no slight on Walcott btw.

George Best?

Welbeck was usually played on the left

I'm not up for confrontation but that is completely inaccurate. Where did Welbeck play a lot of those games?? And when played in his best position under Moyes for5/6 games in a row he did very well. Fact.

Van Gaal said he wasn't good enough, he's being played as a striker for Arsenal and still not scoring. So...to put it midly..he is not good enough, where as Sturridge was played on the right and not given a chance..he moved and scores goals for fun.

If liverpool start with sterling up top with maybe coutinho, lallana and markovic behind him i think we might have a chance, we need to go at arsenal with plenty pace, just like they will us, as obvious as it sounds i think its gonna come down to what defense holds out best, and you have gotta go with arsenal on that, the fact liverpool dont have a keeper certainly doesnt help either, i think both teams will concede so i think im gonna say pool will just about get a draw here, hopw we win of course but trying to be realistic.

Both sets of fans wouldn't bother hiring an airplane to vent their anger that's for sure.

A Liverpool win would be better for you though, help you cement third IMO.

Would Definetely prefer a Liverpool win after yesterday.

The bickering is insane.

It because of the chips on shoulders really.

Kerrigooney

Leaked so not sure if true...

wandatowell

Welbez is the tits. Great player to have in the team anybody who says otherwise is just arguing for the sake it.

wandatowell

Toure cant have much pace in those legs surely? Alexis to rip it up.

There is a reason why utd fans were taking the piss when arsenal signed him you do know.

I think you are confusing Welbeck with Silvestre

I would prefer arsenal to not pick up any points after utd drawing yesterday. Liverpool are too far back.

Although I love seeing Liverpool lose.

One positive of Orange's thread being so bad...the usual posters hijacking it won't make it any worse.

No sign of The Welsh Xavi anyway.

Honestly cannot understand why Jones is starting ahead of Mignolet.

Mert and chambers in the centre could be trouble. Though we should win midfield easily.

Or Mignolet has been awful. I'd still start him but he's been shocking. If playing Jones is what it takes to get a new keeper then so be it. Long term benefit for short term loss.

Canal+ have Debuchy at CB and Chammbers at RB...hope they're right.

there will be goals a plenty in this one

I hope Alan Smith isn't the co-commentator on this game, but he probably will be. I can't stand the man.

Well with all the ex Pool players in the studio, they need to balance it out a bit.

Better that Quinn, Owen Neville as co commentator

Could be Neville no?

3 full backs on the bench. Nice.

Neville would be the best of that fairly bad lot. Alan Smith though has that horrible miserable Brummie accent that just really irritates me, not that Nevilles Manc drone is pleasant either, but it's less bad.

Neville won't shut up tho

Arsenal will definitely score today, I'd be amazed if they don't. I'm not that confident about Liverpool scoring though sadly.

Johner

Draw, 2-2.

All names mentioned are a breath of fresh air when compared to the personification of pure misery, Mark Lawrenson.
