Liverpool v Portsmouth match thread

[Reece]

Nothing like a good old defeatist attitude before we've even kicked off. Let's wait to see the result and then berate the team selection. I'll probably join in if we lose.

Defoe is on the bench!!!!!!!!!!!!

We will miss Mascherano's drive I think. Would rather have El Zhar than Pennant.

Yup people go on about not needing Mascherano at home but he really ups the tempo when needed. Would have prefered El Zhar myself but lets hope Pennant comes out to prove himself tonight.

I've heard Defoe is on the bench

Seriously - are they playing just one up top then, in Crouch? Or has Kanu / Nugent stepped in?

They're strong in the middle of the park, literally. Very muscular, combative trio.

Good good, Paramot & Kaboul are weak links. Just hope they don't park 11 men behind the ball

Don't like that team at all to be honest. ****ing hell we could struggle tonight.

Lucas in for Mascher coz mascher was totally ****ed by the end of the Chelsea game so understandable. He needs rested i guess.

Im confident. We can bring Robbie Keane on if needed later
