Liverpool v Stoke Match Thread

[lickedlollipop]

errr... i don't know if this is sad or funny.. i totally forgot that we play today

[Chris]

aquilani mustn't be able to play 2 games in a week - pathetic

He's just been out for 7 months, I dont like the team but he only stayed on against Reading due to injuries, he was non existant in extra time because he was completely shattered.

******Reina**********
Cara Skrtel Kryrgiakos Insua
Degen Masch Lucas Aurelio
******Kuyt Ngog*******

maybe?

I'm actually more excited about the subs bench. It looks a good lineup

I'm actually more excited about the bench. It's got four strong legs, some incisive splinters and is really good at holding up players and dictating the pace of the sitting.

Where is that team sheet from nothing on the Official Yet ?

Link ?

Embarrassing line up. Nine defensive players, a goalkeeper and a young striker expected to create goals by himself.

Paul Eaton is the official site and posted it on rawk.

looks like a totally negative line up when we are crying out for imagination and attacking football.
Rafa has chosen a starting 11 not to lose, and if we do lose, someone needs to get their coat (and P45), and it ain't me!

I thought Kuyt and N'Gog against Wigan has been our most dangerous pairing for a while. They'll be relying on Lucas getting forward to offer support today.

It's make or break...

[sinbad]

Are we going with the 1 9 1 formation.

[The_weatherman]

Would we have been that worse of putting Amoo or Maxi straight in? We know how this will end up anyway, give the youngsters a chance! Don't like this one bit, and I felt good earlier

[RoadEnd]

Degen and Insua are the two providing the width.

3-5-2 when we feel adventurous changing to 5-3-2 when we are getting pummelled

A team devoid of confidence would never give you that. Rafa's put players to combat against Stoke's aerial bombardment, and if we do that, we'll control the game. We still have players who can pass the ball in this team. Rafa's idea is right IMO, under the current circumstances. He's done it before and won games.

I don't we're going to lose this one...
