Sod it...Blackburn away build up

[dom9]

Nah which is unusual, usually televised this match.

In that case I'll be on the train.

4-2-3-1 for me too. Bring Babel in for Riera, Mascherano for Benayoun and Agger for Hyypia. Gerrard in behind Keane who really needs a big game for us.

Would be my choice too.

Good for the people who said that! Im not sure what your point is, just because someone said West Ham's defence was rubbish and we didnt score it doesnt mean we'll never ever score a goal again.

Nope course not

Just a lot of people under estimate what a team with next to no ambition can achieve against us.

I have a feeling Rafa will play Ngog upfront with Keane benched against Blackburn.

4-4-2 again i reckon. even though were away from home i dont see the need for 2 defensive midfielders against blackburn in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

arbeloa
agger
carra

kyut

Hope not mate. He's done nothing to earn a start yet. Rafa's come out in support of Keane since Monday so I'd fully expect him to start again.

But when Mascherano plays it allows the rest of the midfield to push up a bit which is especially important for Kuyt and Riera as they don't have pace to burn. Probably our best away performance was Chelsea and we weren't particularly defensive despite the inclusion of Mascher.

only reason i never included masher was IMO he's not playing very well. his passes have been pretty poor for him and he has been flying into a couple of rash tackles of late giving away needless free-kicks. if we drop him it might give him the kick up the arse he needs to up his game again....like it did alonso.

Blackburn Away - Build Up Thread

Not seen a build up thread.....people too busy worrying about being top of the league i suppose

Bit concerned about today....they've lost 6 on the bounce so surely they cant keep losing. Trying to stay positive and think we'll win by the odd goal in three.

[meffin]

theres been a build up thread since monday i think?

anyways, i was worried as we cant score at the moment, but its not at anfield ao we may win!

blackburn will do the same as all the other lower table clubs and park the bus infront of the goal, just up to us to break through it, and i think babel is the best option for that

[dww]

Merged.
