Scum vs Liverpool match thread

[danperkins]

TBH, I'm never confident for these big games. But I don't see us having any less of a chance than we normally would have.

Nani and Berbatov the dangermen for me. Rooney always capable in much the same way Torres is. If Torres or Rooney turn up they could decide the game for their team. Nani and Berba been flying this season though.

Don't be fooled by the 0-0 with Rangers. They've been scoring for fun.

Superb so far they have been.

We need to kickstart our season from here.

Good point about Torres/Rooney too

[DannyMan2006]

Sky says they understand that Meireles and Gerrard will be taking turns in joining the attack.

Sounds good. Just have to amke sure they communicate properly. If both go up they leave Poulsen stranded, if neither goes up they leave Torres stranded. Fine balance needed.

anyone got a link?

Sky appear to be reading Fernando's mind again

[Exiled_red]

I'm glad Meireles plays I think how him and Poulsen do in the midfield will have a huge impact on how we do in this game. If they don't do well we could get overrun, if they do well we'll have a good chance. I'm assuming Gerrard is playing off Torres with Cole on the left and Maxi on the right

Roy has mentioned the words defend and contain several times now in the build up to this game and in interview before the game, but the team selection isn't at all defensive or set up to defend. Interesting stuff

[ronanm]

Raul got a skinhead for the occasion

[lancinleeds]

RM's chopped all his hair off, I was quite liking his dodgy barnet

[little dave hedgehog]

i'm genuinely staggered that roy has selected such a good team!

It's how the team is set up tactically. I can't see Roy adopting a pressing game in this one of all matches. We'll forsake possession, play deep and try to hit on the counter. Very dangerous game to play against United away from home.

I hope I'm wrong though.

[SimonNo7]

Cole on the left?

That's what Radio 5 said earlier.

[Tansy]

Team today is: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Konchesky, Maxi, Poulsen, Meireles, Cole, Gerrard, Torres.

I like how the team sounds. Gives me hope we´ll make a good match today.

[SimonNo7]

Its one of those things we will never know mate, im trying not to judge Skrtel for this game, he's had a couple of weeks to get into the groove, hopefully he will have a stormer

Let's hope so

Am watching this one in Fanzone!!
