[RyanLFC]

Right, posting this thread early to get 'that' out of our systems.

 

Get in the ground early, get the place rocking and lets fuckin' 'av it. Hope to see a massive reaction from the boys on Wednesday.

 

possible team selection?..thoughts?

[Yozzer]

What is this "Gane" you speak of?

[zigackly]

Negged for being so eager to start the thread you mispelled it :P

[RyanLFC]

yeah, sorry about that. Someone tell me how to change it..

I hope you aren't Rafa.

[AndMjaa]

get the place rocking

 

Agreed, but I doubt it.

[laddo]

Hopefully Agger will be back so we can play 7 defenders.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Is this it then, after every bad result we forget it and start a new thread looking forward to next game, I'm sure the Stoke thread was started with virtually the same sentence.

[laddo]

You might as well start a thread for the first game of next season, until then im not looking forward to a single match.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

But....

 

With Spurs drawing and City losing (and West Ham doing Villa tomorrow? please) this is a massive chance to take a step towards our minimum acceptable finishing position. Doesn't sound like much to get excited about: it isn't.

 

But still....

 

YOUR TEAM NEEDS YOU

If you can make it there, make some noise.

 

 

(I'm tempted to suggest that some of the pathologically pessimistic moaners round here should be given the job of minding the bee in the cellar.)

Well the next thread would be the same as the end of the last thread, if the new thread didn't differentiate between the end of the previous thread.

OUR SEASON STARTS NOW

[hamstrung]

God.

 

Sadly I fear that 3 points against Spurs is unlikely.

 

AT HOME

 

I done moved my shit over to the Sack Rafa campfire, y'all.

[Guest simon]

I would be lieing if i said i wasn't scared.

[Soup]

We will beat Spurs. My opinion.

[RyanLFC]

Whoever tagged "special anfield nights" deserves a rep.

[jackofdk]

I watched them in their scoreless draw at home against Hull yesterday. They're pretty fucking bad. Granted, the Hull keeper made some very good saves, but Tottenham looked about as creative as us going forward. The only really applied some serious pressure when Crouch came on.

 

I spoke to a couple of Tottenham fans in the pub after the game, and they're dreading wednesday as much as we do.

[Unrighteous]

After what Jobi McAnuff did to us... I'm really hoping that Lennon is still out.

[bricko66]

i think we'll win but it will b a battle. they will b confident but if we fight for 95 mins we will win come on lads we all need to back the team. rafa is not going so get use to it.

[rubble-rouser]

I think he'll start with the 11 that finished the game yesterday, in that formation.

 

I'd go with Aquilani for Lucas, Riera for Insua (Aurelio LB) and Dirk with Ngog up front.

 

Harsh on Lucas - that was as well as I've seen him play, but this is a big game at home, and we need to attack. A front four of Maxi, Ngog, Kuyt and Riera is hardly Brazil 1970, but it woudl put four attacking players in their natural attacking positions, and woudl take the game to Spurs.

[INTORRESTING]

cut it to a point on Wed and then pick it up. We are in turmoil , the cl rivals are aiming for their best ever prem season yet we are still very much in the cl running

[George Costanza]

On the basis of his total and utter lack of any effort on Saturday no way would I pick Ngog. Granted he didn't have any service whatsoever but his attitude was poor. While the quality wasn't there at least the others showed some balls.

 

As horrible as it sounds its going to have to be Dirk upfront on his own on wednesday. We can't afford to have passengers. Rafa will no doubt double up on Lennon with both Aurelio and Insua. We'll go for control in the middle with a trio of Masch, Lucas and Aquilani. I hope we'll see Carra moved back centrally to partner the Greek with Degen back at full back. Then either Maxi or Amoo given a chance on the right. The spurs left back is turd and should be attacked.

 

would it be too bold to give Ecclestone a chance? He can't do any worse than Dirk or Ngog.

[Kev Saunderson]

If we win this game, we get 4th, if we lose, then its this...

[The Golden Eel]

MASSIVE. Need to put these wannabes in their place on Wednesday night.

 

Agree with post below - Ngog isn't the man for the job. Just too inconsistent and lightweight. I reckon we should go:

 

Reina

 

Degen

Carra

Skrtel

Insua

 

Lucas

Mascherano

 

Maxi

Aurelio

 

Aquilani

 

Kuyt

 

 

But there's next to no chance we'll line up like that...

 

Is Lennon still injured? Seriously fucking hope so...

 

Edit: Forgot about Riera. If he's fit enough, him at LM, Aurelio at LB.
