Mini-derby

[rogaas]

Tonight its the mini-derby. A great chance for Ablett`s boys to get back on winnings tracks.

[ScouseAndy]

Market up on Betfair.

 

Roundabout 1.8 to win at the moment.

 

We dicked on them last year I remember they didn't have a kick. Not so sure this year. We've looked toothless up front. It seems to get to Patches and then no one runs beyond him.

[Owen]

Anyone going?

[Carradona]

Where will it be?

[Owen]

Warrington Wolves stadium. I do Tuesdays and Wednesdays in Warrington nowadays, so it's a 15 minute walk from the office. Get yourself over, junior.

[ScouseAndy]

Shite starting with Vaughan and Anichebe. Even sweeter shitting all over them.

 

Come on lads.

[Carradona]

When is kick off?

[Owen]

Half seven according to the offal.

[rogaas]

Liverpool Reserves: Dean Bouzanis, Stephen Darby, Emiliano Insua, Mikel San Jose Dominguez, Ronald Huth, Damien Plessis, Francisco Duran, Jay Spearing, Jordy Brouwer, Daniel Pacheco, Gerardo Bruna.

 

subs: Ryan Flynn, Peter Gulacsi, Steven Irwin, Daniel Ayala, Martin Kelly.

[aws]

we'll get snotted

[Red-Ed]

It's absolutely chucking it down in Warrington, can't imagine it helping the players in the sightest.

Looking forward to the game and hoping a few of the players turn up tonight and show what they're capable of!

Just wonder if Bruna and Pacheo may be a touch lightweight for this - certainly a good game to cut their teeth in.

Also interested to see what Duran can offer.

[05 Milan]

With both Vaughan and Aneech-a-Bee on the pitch, Bouzanis will be lucky to get through this game alive. He should probably bring a viking-shield on the pitch for those 50-50s.

[Red-Ed]

Duran is looking good so far. We're also knocking it around quite well.

[hamstrung]

Duran looking good. Looks to have a great right foot.

[Kurt]

Duran looking good. Looks to have a great right foot.

 

Agreed.

 

He has looks very good on the ball. Pacheco and Bruna needs to learn to be more direct though. They are too often trying to do too much. Huth cant possibly be Paraguayan? He looks and play like a typical british 70`s centre Half! He should grow a perm and a moustache.

[John101]

Think Huth has been excellent. One of my favourite players at this level.

 

Cant remember him having a bad game

[coop]

Duran has been the best player so far the first half.

 

Bruna and Pacheco need to learn when to have a quick shot and when to release the ball. Both are young and this obviously will come with experience.

 

Ref is determined to ruin the game though as whilst some challenges have been hard its a mersyside derby and its bad conditions.

[James Dean]

Fairclough is so dull.

[PaulMcC]

Still 0-0?

 

How are we getting on?

[Red-Ed]

The better side, but neither team is playing particularly well.

 

Duran has been our best player so far - some good touches and looks to have an eye for a pass.

 

Started the 2nd half a bit better trying to raise the tempo - Plessis and Spearing are controlling the midfield fairly well.

[James Dean]

0-1 Brouwer...

[Code]

Considering his age, should not Duran get a couple of first team apparences during this season if he has a future here?

 

I know he has struggled a lot with injuries so its more a question than a statement to be fair.

 

I have never seen him play so I really cant tell, but it would be interesting to get some views on this.

[Kurt]

Great move from defence! Very good! Great run from Spearing an a brilliant pass from Bruna. Many players involved in that move.

[Unrighteous]

With a name like Francisco... How could he go wrong?

[Red-Ed]

1-0. Good goal actually.

 

Great running from Spearing from within his own half when he found Bruna with a short pass. Bruna then held it up well and let Spearing run past him before playing a perfectly weighted through ball which allowed Spearing to get a shot on goal - he should have scored with his left but hit it poorly. Keeper spills it and Brouwer tapped in from two yards.
