Just as well. Guaranteed Liverpool defeat given the thread starter. A bigger jinx there isn't.

MonkeyTennis

Branagan to start, Ings on the bench.. or so my little birds tell me

Harry Palmr

Start a thread and we'll lock this one.

Too late, damage done. Keep well away from this activity midweek anyhow.

5starpool

I half expected Allen and Lucas to be rested as well in case they are needed as subs on Weds.

K-9

I'd say both will be subbed around the hour mark all going well.

For Canos and Henderson probably. I expect Ings to come on as well or else it's pointless him being on the bench. Dependent on injuries of course though.

Lucas & Skrtel at the back,
With benteke in attack,
there was anguish round the fields of anfield road...........

Must win. Running out of matches now.

MonkeyTennis

Would love to see us going a bit gung ho for this. Those young players should be playing out of their skins. Be lovely for Ings just to get 10 mins and put and end to that injury mare

billymitchell

I'd be happy for us not to get trounced in this game!

MonkeyTennis

dont think so.. they have nowt to play for?

How did Evans not get a card for that one.. Could have easily injured Ibe.

SuperTortoise

That awkward moment when you realise WBA's pitch is in better nick than ours!

Osmosis Jones

Bogdan beaten at his near post

Knex*

Bogdan should be doing better there.

Vicxas

Lol, oh Bogdan.

5starpool

Typically bad defending. Started with Allen's misplaced pass, and Bogdan beaten at the near post.

Thanks Harry.

8-10

Bogdan is awful

Agent Coulson

To think some people were calling for Bogdan to be Liverpool's first choice earlier in the season

mada999

Poor from Bogdan, the defense was brutal though

NukaCola

Poor awareness by Allen, it was a powerful shot but Bogdan has to do better there........soft goal to concede....

Osmosis Jones

Benteke seems to go down every time a cross goes in

NukaCola

I really like Stewarts solid and steady style.....rarely makes a mistake......

Osmosis Jones

That's what we want from Ibe

5starpool

A bit of power behind that Branagan shot and it could have been a wonderful goal.

Utopia Parkway

Cracking goal from Ibe.

mada999

thats more like it IBE

Agent Coulson

Ibeeeee

Knex*

I actually shouted at him for not passing it to Ojo, before he scored :pac:

5starpool

Great goal Ibe!

NukaCola

Better than Sterling

Vicxas

Beautiful from Ibe

citytillidie

Dare say better than Hazard on Wednesday night

Nah. Excellent goal in its own right though.

NyOmnishambles

Well that was unexpected from Ibe

Shouldn't be but is

You say steady to me again when i say something to you, you'll be on the first plane back.....

.....its a LFC thread "joke" though....

magma69

Shambolic defending for the goal. Excellent goal from Ibe.

Harry Palmr

Ibe has done his one thing today, everything else will be terrible touches and running into people.

Osmosis Jones

Ojo played for the tackle, just about got the ball

MonkeyTennis

re Old Trafford.. staff found something in the ground they didnt recognize and called the cops.. turns out it was half the first team.

5starpool

Stupid dive by Smith. Although looking at it again maybe not.

5starpool

Waste of a corner.

NukaCola

Think he went down anticipating contact.......harsh yellow as he got straight up and wasn't rolling around

Osmosis Jones

Surely a yellow for studs

citytillidie

That was more a yellow card than Smith's yellow

NukaCola

Awful from Benteke....a real waste
