Wolves V Liverpool (31/1/12)

[Faustus]

Seeing as the game is tomorrow, thought I may as well put a thread up for it.

 

Hopefully Kenny's bollocking after the Bolton debacle has done the trick and we can build on two fantastic results against both Manc clubs. We really can't afford to fall any further behind Chelsea in the race for that fourth Champions League slot so a good result is imperative, as it really is up for grabs and I think it'll go to whoever can string a decent run together from now until the end of the season. Chelsea and Arsenal seem as bad as us as stringing a sequence of results together so hopefully we can use this week as a platform and see some consistency.

 

I'm expecting a tough game tomorrow. We're going to have to battle for everything and show that we went it. Basically, the polar opposite of our performance against Wolves. Really important to get a good result tomorrow ahead of a tricky run of fixtures.

 

Anybody know of any boozers either in Birkenhead or Liverpool city centre showing it? It's not on Sky is it? Does the Picture House on London Road still have all the blag channels?

[Scousa Tomo]

I agree, alot of our players confidence should be sky high aswell so hopefully we can get some momentum up and go on a nice little run culminating in 2 cups and 4th.

[Scott_M]

If we don't bring the momentum we've got from the last 2 games into this one (ie: we don't leave Molineaux with 3 points) I'll be seriously pissed off.

[Baz1969]

Don't suppose its on the box?

[WaltonRed]

3 points is a must.

 

I reckon we'll be aright tomorrow night.

not sure how we'll line up for this one.

 

think enrique could do with a rest because he's been off his game a bit recently.

 

we could do with spearing back in midfield because of Gerrard felt a twinge on saturday as Dave said in his report then not sure he'll be risked. henderson has ran a marathon in the last week so he could make way for spearing if fit or maybe shelvey could figure somewhere. we could always go with carra again in the holding role. it wasn't disastrous but it could be in this game - remember skrtel at right back v spurs.

 

not sure about the team at all. Just hope we show plenty of balls and get 3 points.

[gumps]

Classic LFC banana skin fixture this one after 2 great cup performances.

 

I'd start with the same team that finished the Man United game. Hopefully get the game won then make changes.

[Newport]

Call me a negative bastard but I'm expecting a real shower of shite.

[Paco]

Call me a negative bastard but I'm expecting a real shower of shite.

 

yeah. although we were pretty shit on saturday so hopefully we'll play a lot better but if recent history is anything to go by we'll turn up thinking we'll win and get our holes handed to us. wolves are guff though.

[satansmutt]

Wolves haven't won for 10 games, after all the bottom teams in the division have taken points off us I bet they can't wait to play us

[Guest the boy]

we could always go with carra again in the holding role. it wasn't disastrous but it could be in this game

 

Carragher in midfield on Saturday was as hopeless a performance as I've seen from a Liverpool player. We were effectively playing with 10 men until his removal, hence United's B-team swamping us. I dislike his character -- coming on at the end to shake Evra's hand and milk the applause was Coogan-like -- but felt sorry for him as a player for having been placed in that position. He was a very mediocre midfielder at the peak of his physical condition; to put him in that position on Saturday and keep him there past the hour mark was nothing short of outrageous.

 

 

I hope Shelvey comes in for this one. Movement and energy will be the key there.

[kalasoma]

Could be difficult to field the same team that beat the Mancs, but would love to see us start with the players who ended that match. Dirk, Bellamy and Adam only played about ten minutes. Bring Kelly back, rest Johnson for Tottenham.

 

Suarez... this match completes the 8 game ban.

[Rushies tash]

This game has shit sandwich written all over it.

 

Hope I'm wrong mind.

[Red '84]

i´d get dirk into the engine room and start carra up top in this one,he´s due one. carroll´s bound to be tired after his lion like performance against the mancs and bellamy´s knees can´t take more then 215 minutes in ten days. think it might be worth putting johnson right mid ahead of kelly to double up on hunt and get fabio in on the other side so him and jose can keep jarvis quiet.

 

it´ll be a tight game but we´ll squeeze through in the end.

 

carragher 89th minute.

 

come on you redmen!

[Red '84]

anyone else think there´s anything odd in this game being exactly one month after new year´s eve?

[firelightez]

Losing or drawing this would be an absolute sucker punch after the fantastic week we just had. I really hope kenny tells the lads to never, ever, disrespect the opposition. If we play to the standards that we did against city, we should be fine.

This.

 

I know we don't do comfortable wins but one here would lift the squad (if thats possible after the last 2 games) and really set us up for a push for 4th place.

[Guest San Don]

Going to be a tough game, did they have a day off last weekend?

 

We need 3 points, it'll be a big ask but shouldnt.

[109_ultra]

Games cant come quick enough when you hit a patch like this. They're shite, struggling for points and Kenny has managed the squad very well this last week.

 

Johnson will come in after being rested on saturday.

You dislike the 'character' of Jamie Carragher?

 

You should fuck off back to RAWK, or perhaps start a website called Bitter Superfan Airmchair OOT Reds

[Guest LFD]

I want to see:

 

Reina

 

Kelly - Doesn't deserve to be dropped.

Skrtel

Agger

Enrique

 

Spearing - Important player without Lucas

Shelvey - Think he might offer more than Henderson

 

Johnson - Yes I still want to see him tried on the right wing

Gerrard

Maxi - More of a goal threat than Downing

 

Bellamy - No brainer. He was immense upfront vs City and his pace and movement on the counter attack could win us the game. Plus I don't want to see Carroll play.

 

 

But we won't see that because Kenny will play Henderson - as he always seems to play.

[Jairzinho]

Reina

Kelly Skrtel Agger Enrique

Spearing Shelvey

Downing Gerrard Maxi

Bellamy

 

This will not be the team.

Can't believe no one has posted that GIF of Mick 'One in the hole yet'!

[kalasoma]

I hope we put in a really good, winning, performance at Molineux tomorrow night. I'd like to see us beat them in a way that we beat them last season at there's. Please let Andy Carroll push on from a solid performance against Utd and start scoring now. Ditto Dirk.
