Liverpool vs Sunderland build up

[BigChief]

I can't see us not winning to be honest. Got a good feeling about this game. We need to approach it carefully in case we get caught in the first few minutes, so 4-5-1 should be fine, but we should be the stronger team as the game wears on.

Torres is nearly there, once he gets going properly we'll be devastating. Until then Cole, Miereles and Gerrard can do their magic. I hope Jova, Maxi or Babel don't start though. Never thought I'd say this but I'd rather have Kuyt starting.

i think that will be guaranteed

i think that will be guaranteed

Have to admit Roy is beginning to worry me if he's just going to turn into another Houllier/Rafa type manager in terms of boring play. But in this case it will be justified as long as he changes the formation in the second half once we've found our rythm.

Roy has always been a defensive manager. Have you actually watched a team managed by him before?

****ing hell - can't even think about it - anything other than a win and roy will be ****ed.

the next three games are vital for him

3 wins, goes someway to repairing the damage especially a win away to everton would be massive boost.

2 home wins and a draw away to eveton would be an improvement on things, and has to be be the bare minumum

anything less is unthinkable, and a loss away to everton could well be the end.....

Not too many to be honest, have only heard he is defensive. Have been secretly hoping it was because of the lack of decent players at his disposal that he now has.

Maybe he needs time to adjust too.

[Mostar]

I bet it's same 11 as United.

Same here. Only change could be Kuyt for Maxi if he is fit to start on Sunday.

I think it will be a very tight game but we will come on top by one.

[the rev leeroy brown]

i'd go:

jones

kelly / soto / agger / wilson

pacheco / lucas / spearing / jova

babel / ngog

got a good feeling that team would win easy!

[Scratch]

Reina

Johnson
Carra
Skrtel
Konchesky

Poulsen

Kuyt
Gerrard
Meireles
Cole

Torres

Simple 4-1-4-1 formation, should beat Sunderland. 2-0 I reckon.

[danperkins]

Poulsen to Hodgson is as Lucas was to Rafa - he'll start.

This will be dire I think - but we'll get a result à la WBA...

Yes, but Rafa never had other available options a lot of the time, Roy does, like Lucas for example.

[BobTheCharmer]
