Liverpool v Hull match thread

[JPK]

He has been outstanding the last couple of games he has played in fairness so you could argue that he is the form player. Lets not forgot Agger missed last season so he might not be up to playing 2 games a week every week. IMO Hyppia more suited to playing agaianst Marlon King.

Hyppia deserves his place on current form Carra should have got a much needed rest

I can't tell you how much this line up has pissed me of. Keane plays well then gets dropped. Talk about giving the lad confidence. Why no Agger? And Benayoun has been ****e all season.

We're at home to Hull for ****s sake!

4-5-1 at home against a team like hull is a bit worrying. Bit pissed off with that. People wonder why we drop points against the likes of stoke and west ham. with a formation like that it is taylor made for teams coming to park the bus.

[blacky]

don't be daft.

i think we should use hyypia sparingly and also agger needs to play to become the player we all think he can be. there's something else going on here with agger and once again its poor man management by rafa.

How many times last season did he come back from that foot injury only to break down again? At one stage there was even talk of it ending his career. All i am saying is Rafa looks at the bigger picture. Agger has played in the majority of our big fixtures since Skrtls injury. He has used Hyppia in the games against the lesser more physical teams. We have Arsenal next weekend and IMO agger will start. Rafa want Agger prime for the whole season hence the rotation.

especially off the back of a goal drought at home in the league.

well then we should have rotated carra today. really think there is something else going on here. and why no keane? even i can see he played his best football for us in the second half midweek.

Hope Rafa knows what he's doing here, there's no excuses with that line up.

Good point.

Is rafa now picking the team with the xmas period in mind? making sure some of our better players are top notch for then?
Great if it works, but like i said before not worth f3ck all if we drop points today.

[MrMichael]

Carthorse Kuyt leading the line. Another no score draw then.

That would be our top scorer Kuyt then would it?

Jeez you lot, chill out, that line-up's still more than capable of beating Hull.

Carra like SG seem undroppable in the league games. I can understand Rafa with this. One good half of football doesn't mean Keane deserves a start.

[Exiled_red]

After a couple of poor home league results, lets hope we can get a good start, and go on to get a good result

Agreed! Have you seen the matches lately? Hyypia has been brilliant and he is at this point in much better form than Agger! Carra could use a rest, but if you as him he just want's to play every game. Kuyt up front alone is a little worrying I have to admit......

[Parm]

hmm, interesting lineup. but should be enough to beat Huill
