FC Gomel match thread

[Alex Gibbo]

There is a friendly this weekend against Rochdale. It's behind closed doors.

[mypost]

Match threads have always followed a pattern on here.

 

People complain about our performance. Other people arrive to complain about them complaining. People then complain about others people complaining about their right to complain. There's usually a lot more swearing from one side and sanctimonious grandstanding from the other, but that's about the way it always goes and probably will always go.

 

Daft getting worked up about it.

 

We won. Game was shit, and we were not much better, but we did the job we had to do in our last away game in pre-season.

 

It's good to be back in Europe though. Better playing a contest, than a far flung kickaround with 11 subs each at half time, as other clubs are doing.

There is a friendly this weekend against Rochdale. It's behind closed doors.

 

It was today or yesterday but was abandoned after a serious injury to a Rochdale player.

 

BTW, the home leg of this euro qualifyier is on flaming espn too!

[WaltonRed]

but then the kids played Rochdale and won 4-1

 

reckon pepe & luis will play thursday?

Not sure about reina, dont see why suarez couldnt play though. He's been playing in the Olympics so no fitness doubts there imo.

[WaltonRed]

Reina hasnt played for months though he needs minutes if he's to start against West Brom

[kalasoma]

I reckon we'll stick with Brad Jones for the 2nd leg of the Gomel match. Reina will probably get some time in the friendly against Sami's Bayer Leverkusen.

[fowler9]

what team does everyone want to see then?

 

I'd like something like

 

 

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

Johnson---Coates--Agger---Enrique

-------Gerrard--Lucas--Shelvey---

-----Borini-----Carroll------Suarez

 

subs

Jones

Skrtel

Kelly

Henderson

Sterling

Cole

Pacheco

 

 

expect it will be more similar to last weeks line up with maybe Suarez and Lucas coming of the bench though

[Rush 346]

How many do you think will be at the game tonight?

 

Not going to sell out is it?

[JagSquared]

Hope we play as strong a side as is possible. Want to see us give these lot a good thrashing. We have a tough start in the league so getting a few goals will give us some confidence going into them.

[Mr Nando]

Hopefully Gomel haven't been practising how to hit the target. If they have could be in trouble if we play as shit as we did last week.

[navbasi]

Is it on the telly?

[navbasi]

Got it... ESPN.

[WaltonRed]

Wont sell out but expecting the high 30's if not into 40 thousand

 

I'd go:

 

Reina

Johnson

agger

Skrtel

Enrique

Lucas

Gerrard

Henderson

Sterling

Borini

Suarez

[Kevin D]

I really enjoy moaning, so I'm looking forward to putting the boot in later.

[gumps]

Hoping for a much improved, coherent performance and few goals.

 

No more "it's only pre-season" excuses. Our season HAS started!

I think you are spot on with this line up.

[piscinin]

Reina

Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique

--------Lucas

---Gerrard----Shelvey

Downing-------------Borini

---------Suarez

[Bobby Hundreds]

Did Brendan mention the other day about Suarez playing on the left side of attack.

[fowler9]

The Reds team in full is: Reina, Johnson, Enrique, Skrtel, Agger, Gerrard, Shelvey, Lucas, Borini, Suarez, Downing. Subs: Jones, Kelly, Carroll, Spearing, Henderson, Carragher, Adam.

 

 

quite pleased with that, least it looks like Carroll's not completely out of the picture

If we don't win by at least 2 goals with that team then we are totally fucked
