Boro vs Liverpool - Build Up Thread

[Milan_Milan]

Soz. Serves me right for smoking spliffs at this time in the morning. I see...both yours and Milan's teams were what you expect Rafa to pick!

Yeah...I can see that....although I do think Rafa is "going off" Dirk a bit. He's been dropped more regularly recently than at any point in his LFC career.

It's a recurring theme but I'd love to see Babel given a go up front with Fernando today.

My team was what I expect Rafa to pick, but on the other hand I don't want to play with one up (don't think it would get the best out of Torres) and all of our other strikers are pretty crap! I'm with you in playing Babel up there, but Rafa doesn't seem keen to do that at the moment for whatever reason.

We've failed to score in 7 out of our last 8 visits to the Riverside.

Not sure about that formation, esp. after it failed so miserably against Wigan.

And I really don't like playing Gerrard off the front man. It doesn't work in my opinion, it blunts our attacking threat and doesn't suit Gerrard's style of play. he's much more effective making dynamic bursts from deeper areas than playinf higher up the pitch.

I agree with that team, but people will moan that it's 4-5-1 etc. IF we don't win

And all of our last five.

Shocking statistics against a team as mediocre as Boro.

Surely they are due a good beating?

Been a few 0-0s where we've absolutely battered them. I remember Gerrard having about 5 one on ones

It's happened twice - might be the last two seasons.

Yeah it also happened when we played 'em in October time (last season) and did everything but score in another 0-0. Tea-time kick off one Saturday last October. ****e.

Yes that's right. I remember because I had a driving lesson just before the game
