derby day countdown

[SB]

I hate initials! Who's MB?

I'd say Marcus Babel

[SB]

Everton have been good going forward but ****e in defence. I think we'll see a very counter attacking side with Babel and Riera on the wings and torres up front on his own.

My midfield choice would be Mascher, Gerrard and Alonso.

Expect to see Agger make his first start of the league season.

Can't see Agger playing TBH

My side would be

Pepe
Arbeloa Carra Skittles Aurelio
Masher
Kuyt Stevie Xabi Babel
Torres

[calvoboy]

I'd stick with a 4-4-2 (or 4-4-1-1 really) and go for:

Reina
Arbeloa Skrtel Carra Dossena (Aurelio is out injured)
Kuyt Gerrard Mascher Riera
Torres Keane

Lots of possibilities though! I reckon only Reina, Dossena, Arbeloa, Carra, Gerrard and Torres are absolute certainties to start.

[Shaggy]

My best ever experience was the Gary Mac Darby. ****ing best darby moment ever. I went the match with me dad and his blue****e mate and when Macca scored the winner in the last minute it was ****ing great.

One of my most memorable moments at a match. Me and my Red mate were in the Gwladys. Went absolutely ****ing ballistic and legged it outside under a shower of spittle.

I think having Xabi in the side instead of Keane gives us more of a goal threat as Stevie can play unshackled of defensive duties. This formation worked a treat last year and I would use it again until Keane finds some form. I was hoping that Aurelio was ok again but if not, then Dossena it is.

Thanks for posting that. That was my only derby to date. What a strike.

Greatest derby moment for me was my first derby as well .... 1970 ...Anfield

2 - 0 down and only twenty minutes left.. up pops Stevie Highway to crash one in followed shortly by Tosh nodding one in on his home debut, leaving Chris Lawler to finish them off with the winner ..I was a young lad then and I have never witnessed a better derby, a truly remarkable match.

I am as excited about tomorrows match as I was then and I'm sure tommorow is the day that the Torres & Keane double act gets going for real.

Ignore the negativity some spout on here because they'll never be happy, they're fair weather fans with knee jerk reactions. How can any fan actually think we're going to lose to our rivals 2 : 0 incredible !!!! They must lead very sad lives to be so negative.

Just remember Torres is special and you will be privelidged to watch him play in red tomorrow.

My prediction ...0 : 3 ... Rose coloured ? ....Oh yes .....and I'll never change.

Kuyt for Babel and I think that's it, at least it should be imo. Babel or Rieraon the left, one to replace the other later in the game.

One of those moments that makes you wanna do a sex wee. LOL

[Marky]

Mascherano a serious doubt.

[Vermilion]

I wonder which Bitter will be assigned to clatter Reira, let him know he's in a game type thing, same with Torres 'again' i reckon too, hope we don't pick up any injuries, we also i think have 'card happy' (according to ferguscum) Riley as ref for the game so maybe it won't be so rough after all, but Marky i see above has said Masher is a doubt, so that would be a big miss in a game like this.

Already feeling the nervous tension building up, won't be sleeping properly tonight....up very early tomorrow...stomach in bits no doubt, **** i hope we win, please let us give them a footballing lesson...or ok just a win will do.

Biggest worries, Torres's form, Keanes Form, the fact we haven't quite clicked as yet, but could easily do so in this game, and my worries from the Bitters threat..........Cahill, if we aren't home and dry with the clock counting down...2 goals up...then this **** has a knack for a late spoiler.

So lets hope by the time the clock hits 80mins, we are a couple of goals to the good having played them off the park, but just let it be a win for the Reds.

torres keane steve babel and reira will score today - hopefully that should be enough
