Liverpool v Watford - 4pm - Not on UK TV

5starpool

Bound to be a humdinger this one. Liverpool will probably make 8-10 changes from the team that beat Villarreal and can't get CL through the league, and Watford are safe from relegation, so lots to play for today.


Benteke likely to get his first start for Liverpool in ages, although Ward has been ruled out so Mignolet should play I assume rather than let Bogdan 'entertain' the crowd again. Skrtel, Lucas, Allen, Ibe, Ojo, Stewart and Randall likely to start with the likes of Chirivella, Branagan, Teixeira featuring on the bench perhaps.

I reckon 1-1 or maybe a goal in it either way. Watford probably too big a price given the likely line up for Liverpool.

Harry Palmr

Ings to score from the bench!

5starpool

I can't see them putting him on the bench, although it would be nice. I reckon he will get 20 mins or so against West Brom next week though.

Good opportunity to use the squad and see some more of the youngsters.

OwaynOTT

Raging i won't get to see this today.

Subs:

Pantilimon, Nyom, Paredes, Ake, Guedioura, Berghuis, Amrabat

5starpool

8 changes, but still a reasonably strong team. Skrtel/Lucas CB partnership could be, er, interesting.

Agent Coulson

This is going to be an of season game if there ever was one would be my guess.

marklazarcovic

were gonna get wupped lol

ERG89

Skrtel & Ibe :eek:
Joe 'busker beard' Allen & Ojo :cool:

Harry Palmr

Soton are winning so this is a must win

In fairness, if you're going to miss a pool game this might as well be the one. Especially with that defense...

No, no, I'm still raging.

It's hard to see Liverpool conceding a goal with that defense!

If you know what I mean. Nudge, nudge,wink, wink, ooh er missus.

I think it will be a Score draw.

But usually my predictions have been wrong lately.

emo72

Tumbleweed in this thread. Are we even playing bro?

5starpool

Good start so far. For Watford.

Great match for the kids, just go out and play, no pressure.

Vicxas

Our season domestically is essentially over, so why not play the kids.

citytillidie

Most interesting thing so far is the shadow of the new stand on the pitch lol

Grayditch

I liked the bit where we kicked the ball.

Harry Palmr

"I don't understand Ibe's thought process....." :pac:

Coutinho being greedy...

5starpool

Another stupid shot by Moreno. We've been better in recent minutes.

NyOmnishambles

An alright start

With that defense Watford can easily score on the break

8-10

Flanagan is so poor.

Ojo looking lively. Ibe anonymous

Osmosis Jones

If only we could take a corner

Harry Palmr

Jesus Mason!

Harry Palmr

The ref saved Ibe from wasting that!

Coutinho doesn't have enough to be a driving force on his own and Benteke is bloody pointless for Liverpool.

Skrtel not himself at all today.

He's good for some odd reason

kevohmsford

Not too much happening from a Liverpool perspective. Some of these players will be moved on in the summer.

He was being pernicky about a free kick - it was fractionally moving so he brought it back.

Liverpool score. Pirlo!

5starpool

Allen actually scored!

kevohmsford

1-0 Liverpool Joe Allen

OwaynOTT

Big Balls strikes again

amber69

There's no show like a Joe show

8-10

Weird bounce of the ball if you look at it closely, Benteke heads it down slightly ahead of Allen but it bounces back towards him. Nice move, that's how you play with Benteke

NyOmnishambles

good man Joe, he deserves that for recent performances

Osmosis Jones

Classic goal. Knockdown from the big man onto a midfield runner. Benteke did well and glad to see Allen get a goal, he often makes that run only to have a poor strike.

Harry Palmr

Good thing too as Watford were happy enough to sit and break only when it was handed to them.

5starpool

I can't see us keeping a clean sheet here.

8-10

I can if we score next. Watford look good going forward on the break but this is an end of season game with little on the line. Can see it petering out in the 2nd half.

Harry Palmr

Skrtel :mad: So close to being pick pocketed.

marklazarcovic

if your given a chance in a game like this win or loose at least give everything ,one in particular has done fcuk all,again

Who ?

Harry Palmr

He got the assist!

Or is it Ibe?

amber69

The magician fluffs his lines

kevohmsford

Lee Mason should have let Ibe play on. Poor refereeing.

5starpool

Skrtel won't be happy until he gives away a pen.
