Liverpool Vs Valarenga

[Lee909]

Echo Reporting Pepe back for the game and Jon Henry will be over aswell.

Pepe saying he hopes to play in both games and be ready fo the Sunderland.

[Guest davelfc]

Reina sets target for return - Liverpool FC

 

He confirms it in this interview. Which I'm guessing is where the echo got it from.

[Lee909]

Good news,lets hope its close to the first team as possible with only Suarez,Gerrard and Carroll missing.

Anyone know if Lucas will be back for the game.

[Guest davelfc]

Lucas arrives back on Monday, so no he won't make this game.

[Aldonose]

Is Carroll injured?

[Guest davelfc]

I don't know, but I do know Kenny is supposed to have said that none of the players that took part in Turkey would start (play) on Monday.

 

Asked about his team selection, Dalglish told reporters: "It's pre-season. We've another game on Monday and we've got to pick another team.

 

"We'll have people back who weren't eligible for this game. For the young boys who played it will have been a great experience for them, and for the players who played it will be good for fitness.

 

"We don't want to lose a game, but we've got two games in four days and a long trip home tonight, so we had to take that into consideration when we were picking the team - and we'll also take it into consideration when we pick the team on Monday."

[Aldonose]

Oh right, cheers.

[Frankenhooker]

Bit strange Henry turning up for a friendly in Norway isn't it ?

[Code]

Whats strange about that?

[silverlining]

Whats strange about that?

 

It's a friendly. In Norway.

[Lee909]

Maybe he is looking for a Norweigen blue parrot.

[Code]

It's a friendly. In Norway.

 

[The Acolyte]

Maybe Kenny has told him "I need more cash as our defense is gonna get torn a fresh one come this season come see for yourself"?

[Trucker Paddy]

Maybe just maybe giving recent events our owner recognising our links with Norway would like to show his respect to those who lost there lives, so has decided to take this opportunity to visit

[fowler9]

really don't understand why the Galatasaray game was arranged if we wern't going to play a full side in both games should've just sent an XI to some lower league side thursday then given the full first team Valarenga and Valencia together before the season starts

 

anyway I'm expecting to see

 

 

--------------Reina---------

Carra--Skrtel------Agger---Johnson

---------Henderson-Adam-----

Maxi-------Meireles-----Downing

---------------Ngog------------

 

don't think there is any other choice unless Aurelio is fit

[kalasoma]

Is Agger fit? (I know that's an oxymoron).

[Trucker Paddy]

Is Agger fit? (I know that's an oxymoron).

 

He's still breathing anyway

[fowler9]

Is Agger fit? (I know that's an oxymoron).

 

hope so as if none of the Galatasaray squad are involved we are very thin on the ground imagine the only other players other than the team i've posted considered would be

 

Aurelio(assumed injured)

Pacheco (think he is with Spain)

Suso

Sterling

Amoo

Mendy

[Original202]

Sterling has travelled - he posted the news on his Twitter.

 

Be nice to see something akin to a first team taking shape in these next two games.

[lebron]

Vålerenga are fielding a mix of senior and B-players btw, even loaning some players from 2nd division side (3rd tier) Follo to fill up their squad. Having played Europa League qualification Thursday, Tippeliga Saturday evening and playing Europa League return Thursday again you would think our chances to win this would be good. VIF are on a horrible run of form as well.

 

Going to the game, really looking forward to it. Sold out now, guessing a couple of thousand VIF-supporters will try to sneak in between the 25 000 Liverpool supporters at VIF's (and the national side's) home court:-)

[Frankenhooker]

Apparently the squad is : Glen Johnson, Daniel Agger, Andy Carroll, Jordan Henderson, Dirk Kuyt, Stewart Downing, Jay Spearing, Jamie Carragher, David Ngog, Pepe Reina, Charlie Adam, Raheem Sterling, Doni, Jonjo Shelvey, Martin Kelley, Alberto Aquilani, John Flanagan, Stephen Sama.

 

If true, that's only 18 players so it looks like things are finally going up a gear.

I wonder if Meireles is injured, or is he on his way out?? He wasn't involved against Galatasaray, so it's a bit strange he's not in the squad for this match.

[silverlining]

Meireles is up for sale if anyone wants to buy him

[Frankenhooker]

I think Meireles was left out of the previous squad to receive treatment on his ankle, maybe he still isn't 100%.

[lebron]

Btw, got 2 spare tickets if anyone is interested (guessing there are other Norwegians here in addition to Code and m)e. Sparebank1 lower. Row 12. Two seats next to each other. Cost 627 Nkr a piece, I'll sell them for less:-).
