Sunderland away

[KopOut]

Borini to score today, but I'm not convinced we'll win.

 

1-1

[JaminKibbler]

Sunderland fans are normally pretty sound, been big advocators of jft96

If Borini plays on the right again, we will lose. I'm tempted to say he's worse than Downing in that position. No crossing, dribbling or passing ability to speak of.

 

If I were Rodgers I'd play for the draw. Our midfielder lacks a single decent tackler and Reina will likely concede from any shot on target. Our only hope is that Suarez and Gerrard can't possibly give the ball away as often as they did against Arsenal.

[BringbackBiscan]

He is worse than Downing when used on the right.

[Tehran Stag Do]

I'm quietly confident today. O'Neill is one of those managers of whom other managers (including most of our previous ones) show far too much respect to. His tactics, for the most part, appear to be rigid organisation in the back 6 with a "just give to the wingers" philosophy. What appears to be the case with Rodgers is that he has such self-belief in his own footballing philosophy that he does NOT pay too much respect to the opponents or their managers. This is exactly what we need.

 

I actually cant bear O'Neill, the little fucking Sprite primarily because of the above but also because he reminds me of the nerdy twat who got to plough Goldie Hawn at the begiining of Private Benjamin.

 

My own only fear about today is big Connor Wickham. You know the future England Striker, the one who "snubbed Liverpool" a couple of seasons ago to go to Sunderland when Container Head was spunking money on any bit of tat. Yes he'll be a big threat..oh hang on...whats that? He scored 1 League goal in 16 appearances last year? Pffft.

 

We'll fuck these. Royally.

[ngogswilly]

Can't get any worse than the Arsenal game anyway.

 

I think...

[Brownie]

Would be lovely to win today after this weeks events but as we have found out to our cost over recent years, football is no slave to sentiment.

 

I have absolutely zero confidence in us today and that depresses me.

[Guest davelfc]

Brendan asked about striker options for the coming game.

[Jairzinho]

It'll all click into place today and we'll give them a good solid bumming.

 

Four or five nil.

[Redder Lurtz]

Reina; Kelly, Agger, Skrtel, Johnson; Allen, Shelvey, Gerrard; Sterling, Borini, Suarez. Sahin and Assaidi on the bench.

[Jhinge Machha]

assaidi is on the bench. lets see how he gets on. might thrash them 4-0

[Frankenhooker]

Is Suso on the bench ?

[Crazyhorse7778]

Is Suso on the bench ?

 

 

Subs: Jones, Enrique, Sahin, Assaidi, Henderson, Downing, Carragher.

[DooooodekNo5]

Shelvey will score today.

[Frankenhooker]

Decent enough bench, except for the obvious lack of a striker.

[sir roger]

I think we need one of the young strikers on the bench. We could easily swap for Henderson or Downing.

[Brownie]

No Suso on the bench? What was the point in him missing the U21's last night and travelling if he wasn't going to be involved?

 

I don't really see how it will benefit him?

[BringbackBiscan]

I wish wed stop letting everyone know the team well before we should.

More time and experience of being round the first team.

[cartman]

He was suspended for the Chelsea-game yesterday as well, young Suso. Couldn't play.

 

I would have liked to see Henderson instead of Borini today, though. And Suso should have been on the bench.

I think that's a bit over-rated myself.

[lifetime fan]

If we can work it out by the colour of the bibs I'm sure other clubs can.

 

I guess it's not a problem though as we're not viewed as a threat anymore.

The LFC TV commentators said the Man City game was the last of his ban?

[Torvald Utne]

Who's this chin stroking cunt on ESPN with Barnes?

[Jonjo Baldy]

If Shelvey has a ticket to go forward he will be the saviour along with Sterling to get a goal, Assaidi if fit enough will run riot when he comes on. One can hope.
