Marseille v Liverpool Preview

[Arnaud]

Marseille is in much better shape this year. They're good Up front, scoring lots of goal, and poor in defence, conceding a lot.

 

Valbuena (who scored at Anfield last year) may play tonigh after being sidelined for month.

 

I guess the main threat is Gerets, who's a good manager.

[Captain]

Aurelio is injured isnt he

 

The Sun also rises.

 

It's damn shame he can't stay fit, as I think he's a fine player. That said, it will be good for Dossena to make his CL bow. He'll do fine.

 

I wonder if Gerrard will start? I have a feeling he will. The question is who will make way? Will he just replace Javier, or will there be more changes?

[WaltonRed]

Gerets plays the game the way it should be.

 

Looking forward to the game, a draw wouldnt be so bad but i expect the win.

 

As for European Clubs you hate the only one I have a real dislike for is Real

In case anyone is wondering, the referee is Konrad Plautz of Austria.

[CrouchieBoy]

xabi was so boss on Saturday....

 

Lucas can do a job though.

 

roll on Red Men!

[Captain]

Very surprising line-up for me.

 

EDIT: Looks like 4-2-3-1.

[theghost]

Look at the quality on that bench. Fuck me.

[Rex Banner]

back to last years formation aye, surely this must mean another 4-0

[CrouchieBoy]

Very surprising line-up for me.

 

seems perfectly normal to me Cap

 

i may have included Xabi instead of Lucas but it looks just fine

[theghost]

I'm very interested to see where Gerrard and Kuyt line up.

[jackofdk]

I don't get why this game isn't used to give Agger some needed match pratice.

It's not that it doesn't look fine. I just expected neither Torres nor Mascherano to start.

Perhaps in order to rotate less? Rafa's changed half the team!

I see I see.. my apols Cap'n

[theghost]

I think Dirk and Bob make sense here. Rafa obviously sees Ben Arfa as a threat down the left hand side. That is, assuming he starts.

[jackofdk]

It's not usually Rafas biggest worry, and Agger is hardly a stranger to the way we play.

 

But you're probably right, though. I just really wanted to see the Agger rumours put to bed (especially in Denmark) by a couple of good performances from him this week.

 

From what I read about Stoke's style of play, saturdays game will be more suited to big Sami.

[Stouffer]

 

 

 

 

I am ready.

[Carradona]

I just cooked myself chicken and pasta with a boss tomato, onion and green pepper sauce. Was lovely.

 

I'm in a fine mood for watching us.

 

Going out soon to watch the game with The-Sir.

 

Come on you redmen!

[theghost]

Marseille's 11: Mandanda, Taiwo, Hilton, Cheyrou, Niang, Kone, Zubar, Cana, Ben Arfa, M'Bami, Bonnart

[Captain]

Is that our Cheyrou?

[Brownie]

I'm disappointed with the team. We have enough to beat Marseille I think but i'd have loved to see Babel on the right with Riera on the left, and also Lucas instead of Alonso?

 

Why not Gerrard in central midfield with Keane behind Torres?

 

Play people in their positions.

[Brownie]

Is that our Cheyrou?

 

I think his brother Benoit plays for them but I could be wrong.

[CrouchieBoy]

 

 

 

 

I am ready.

 

 

 

this is all i need herr Stouff.

 

lets do it
