Liverpool vs Blackburn - 2 Questions

Lemlin

Liverpool and Blackburn play at Anfield tomorrow, a fixture that Liverpool fans must loathe after recent seasons. Therefore, there are two big questions to be settled:

1. What minute will Lucas Neill get sent off in!?
2. Which Liverpool player will miss the next few months with injury!?

p.pete

Not a good game to be bringing Kewell back?

5 & Josemi

You think thats funny, Morientes is due back tomorrow I'd nearly lay a bet that he gets one touch then is flattened by one of the following

Brad Friedel
Lucas Neill
Zurab Khizanishvili
Andy Todd
Garry Flitcroft
Ryan Nelsen
Brett Emerton
Robbie Savage
Shefki Kuqi
Paul Dickov
Craig Bellamy
Peter Enckelman
Steven Reid
Aaron Mokoena
Kerimoglu Tugay
Matt Jansen
Dominic Matteo
Vratislav Gresko
David Thompson
Paul Gallagher
Lorenzo Amoruso
Jemal Johnson
Andy Taylor
Gary Harkins
David Bentley
Richard Lee
Sergio Peter
Michael Gray
Steven Drench

Mike.

Thanx 4 The Fish

You forgot Traore lad, the man could do anything. Will be there and hoping for no injuries, but if there are any then I think it will be either Kewell or Mori, almost guaranteed

Lemlin

Is Gerrard playing or injured? Wouldn't mind if it was him, not my favourite player.

I'd imagine it'll be a striker though, usually is - Cisse last season, Baros the year before. Carragher also missed a while the year before. It was even Babbel, on loan from 'Pool, who took Baros out of it, guess he was very bitter.

Jokes aside though, I think Blackburn could get in amongst Liverpool and cause them problems. Pity Bellamy is missing but Kuqi showed against West Brom that he can step up to the fore.

Bentley should play right wing with Pedersen on the left and they should cause Liverpool some problems. Alsonso won't be too keen on Savage's physical approach I'd imagine.

Games between the two tend to end in draws but I'm hopeful of Blackburn doing it. Don't quote me on that at 5 tomorrow though!

You can be sure of one thing, Cisse will be on the bench if can keep his mouth shut long enough!

Chucky the tree

nah, rover lads always break us up in Ewood park and not anfield.

Lemlin

I assure you, Lucas Neill is willing to break up Liverpool players in any park!

TOPDAWG

anyone know if its gonna be on tv or satelite?? got me the day off work and wanna kick things off early before headin out 2moro nite!

Lemlin

Setanta aren't showing it anyway. Not sure if RTE might have it.

Davei141

We got the medical team on standby, wonder if theres opta stats for how many times blackburn connect with liverpool players shins as opposed to the football. Lets hope the injured stays in single figures.

We're not that bad. Last year Cisse's was a freak injury. The year before, it was Babbel, Liverpool's own player, who took Baros out.

Carragher's injury was from Neill though. I'm willing to admit that, and that he does have a penchant for picking up red cards against Liverpool.

I do think we bring back luck for Liverpool though. Blackburn fans will always have kind memories of Anfield in '95 on the other hand.

Davei141

Im only joking , you lot are settling down this season.

Lemlin

I agree Besty. Nothing better than watching Man Utd lose 2-1 to Blackburn on RTE alright!

zAbbo

RTE are showing Chelsea / Bolton (2.30pm)

Two other games on Sky are Wigan / Newcastle (Prem+ 1pm)
and Middlesboro/Portsmouth (SS2 5pm)

luis garcia by dickov, only a yellow, gerrard to score 1st after the 60min 1-0 final score
odds anyone?

Lemlin

A million to one I'd say seeing as Gerrard isn't going to play. He's injured.

blu_sonic

ah indeed, i did not know that, i very rarely keep track of uk soccer im an el man myself, but i do bet on epl, injured? hum, how about zenden as 1st goalscorer?

Lemlin

Check Paddypower.com, I can'tcheck it here in work.

Btw, I wouldn't really recommend betting on something you rarely keep track of.

blu_sonic

oh no i keep an intrest its just team specific stuff injuries etc. that i don't follow, i used to be a huge LUFC fan years ago but when they let o'leary go i was desgusted and stop my "love affair" with the EPL, so i know whats going on teams, whos who etc,

i'm not really chasing any odds just saying it in passing, more imagine my chances ongetting it right

i got my el bet up last night of 4 home wins yay (even though i bet against my beloved rovers)

tis an odd starting midfield for liverpool is it not. Is there any site that I can listen to commentary on the Liverpool match or is it on the radio ? Just need somewhere to get the latest updates.

Lemlin

I haven't audio commentary but Soccernet.com gives a running text commentary of what's happening on the gamecast on its website.

Think the Blackburn wingers, Bentley and Pedersen, should be able to cause Liverpool problems.

swalsh

you can look at the live text on http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/live_text/default.stm#
its the five live page i believe
come on the pool

swalsh

Zurab Khizanishvili (Blackburn) dismissed for professional foul. 31 minutes... took longer than i expected!!!!

cruiserweight

Khizanishvili sent off should make things interesting! Dickov off and Todd on!

jesus_thats_gre

Whats the bets on another broken leg... hmmmm

Lemlin

Damn it! Was expecting Neill if anyone to get a red. Zurab is only new too. It's up to Pedersen to unlock the Liverpool defence now.

swalsh

he just wanted to bring on the tradition and not let anybody down....no broken legs yet but soon..... probably and i hope its Pedersens!!!!

Lemlin

probably and i hope its Pedersens!!!!

You've got the wrong team there. And, just for that, I hope Sissoko and Alonso miss the next six months!!!!

That'll leave you with bandy legs Gerrard who never lasts too long.

jesus_thats_gre

Ok ban those two tools...

swalsh

random abuse there Lemlin, and it would probably take more than the whole Blackburn team to take Sissoko down, he's a little animal!!!

cruiserweight

Garcia on for Josemi in a tactical switch! Come on Liverpool!

Mark

Why does Benitiz hate Riise so?

It's called sarcasm lads - I'm playing off the fact that everyone acts as if Blackburn are a crowd of thugs. Like you were when you said:

Btw, its you who should be banned for referring to us as "tools".

and thinks Traore should be given a squad number. Go figure.

cruiserweight

Morientes is on for Crouch! Not another draw please!

jesus_thats_gre

I think he sees Risse as a midfielder now.. Not sure..

cruiserweight

Just as I posted Cisse scores!

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

mike65

Cisse!

Its sounds like Liverpool are playing absolutly crap football, but is that due to Blackburn or rafa?

Mike.

He thinks the same about Zenden, look where that got him.

jesus_thats_gre

Woop about time

cruiserweight

Risse is on now for Warnock!

Lemlin

Come on Blackburn, still time to come back!

Noooooooooooooooooooo! Why wont he play the two together down the left? I think with Riise bombing forward and Warnock behind him being really solid it could be a very good partnership.

lemlin, do you actually support blackburn or any team in particular or are you just on the bandwaggon of liverpools opposition each week? just out of interest like...you seem to turn up in every liverpool thread to offer the negative side of the arguement

Support Blackburn. Can't see when I've showed a negative side to Liverpool though. Have to admit that I don't like them or United though. Far prefer Chelsea and Arsenal.
