Man City Preview

[RedAdmiral]

I'm going for a big win today as City are not the kind of team to park the bus, plus they cant defend. They will probably nick a goal themselves from a set piece because lets face it Lucas will probably be playing which means free kicks around the penalty area for them.

 

4 -1 today with a nando hat trick.

 

Well done Rafa for finally getting the reds challenging for the title towards the end of the Season, it feels great to have decent shot at the title for a change.

The Liverpool XI in full is: Reina, Arbeloa, Dossena, Carragher Skrtel, Lucas, Mascherano, Benayoun, Riera, Kuyt, Torres. Subs: Cavalieri, Hyypia, Aurelio, Babel, Ngog, Spearing, El Zhar.

[Torvald Utne]

theoretically our liking for posession and their liking for doing fuck all when they haven't got the ball should play into our hands.

[Unrighteous]

Dossena... Oh fuck...

 

Good news that Spearing and not Plessis is on the bench.

[StevieH]

Agger not even on the bench.

They park Kompany in front of the back four like we used to with Hamann. I dont think they will be turned over by us today. It will be decided by a goal.

[Torvald Utne]

Dossena... Is Ace.... And exactly the type of player we need when playing at anfield

 

I concur :whistle:

[Liam]

Agger not even on the bench.

 

Him speaking out will have cost him his future... Under Rafa anyway.

[ScottyT]

I take it Agger not being in the squad is Parry's fault?

 

Look at the state of that bench after 5 seasons and 200 million spent.

Averaging more than 45 posts a day.

 

That's more than Woo.

 

And I'll bet not one of them has said anything positive.

[Rex Banner]

I hope Agger is injured, he is top class please don't freeze him out Rafa because he is exactly the type of ball playing centre back we should be embracing. Old school defenders like Carra and Skrtel are good but in modern football you need someone who is also composed on the ball and can get involved in attacks.

Can you give it a rest for a bit.

[Brownie]

Wonder why Agger isn't involved? Has he had another problem with his calf?

about as good as we could put out except for the worrying presence of Lucas Leiva again. How many more nails can it take to seal his LFC coffin. Gutted to see Aurelio dropped after being MOTM in the last 2 league games. Bizarre decision.

 

 

Agger not even on the bench ? No mention of injury anywhere. He is surely gone...

 

 

great to see Jay on the bench, hope he gets on

 

 

that side looks woefully short on paper but it did at Fratton as well and the lads came out and put in a really fiery performance. Another 90 minutes of that attitude and I have little doubt we'll win. Can they show it in the Anfield limelight though ?

pretty obvious he has been frozen out now I think

[DjDamyard]

Are Dossena and Lucas the best Rafa can put out?

[SpeedyG]

Aurelio is being wrapped in cotton wool for the Madrid game I reckon.

[Original202]

We'll win comfortably today. And we'll do something incredibly rare and score in the first 20 minutes. I've even put money on it.

[SpeedyG]

pretty obvious he has been frozen out now I think

 

Yep, it sure does look that way.

[rebel23]

the funny thing is if Agger was in the first XI freaks like Ibetitsme would be saying 'why did he drop Skrtel, our best defender ever?'

Looks like 4-2-3-1 to me.

If anyone has a link for Sopcast a PM would be appreciated.

Yep. I would prefer to see Benayoun operating just behind Torres rather than out on the right.

Same here pls.
