Liverpool v Bitters build up thread

[danperkins]

Fellani,Pienaar not playing, and Saha unlikely.

[danperkins]

Ridiculous Agger being injured and not playing for us and then suddenly being a starter for Denmark being clearly unfit, i ****ing hate international duty but i can see why Hodgson is pissed.

[Exiled_red]

Hopefully with the ownership issue resolved the buzz will carry through into the teams performance and we can get a great result to start an new era in style

meireles wide again

[Exiled_red]

I worry about Poulsen in the derby, the game has generally been passing him by quite alot I can't imagine he'd be up to the pace of this one at all. I think he could be a liability in this game (more than usual)

Hodgson "This is bigger than the Fulham Chelsea rivalry"

Thanks for bringing us down to earth Roy

All the signs point to Roy being utterly incapable of harnessing the elation of the fans re the takeover and instilling something in the players. (Realistically, I doubt Rafa would've tried this either...) I can see Cahill scoring with at least one header and Torres sulking for most of the second half as he is left utterly isolated but endlessly kicked up front. This game is made for Blue****e.

I'm elated at the demise of those two horrible cunts, cautiously optimistic about the new owners, but utterly pessimistic about our football. I've been totally convinced that he is the wrong man for the job and we'll all be brought horribly back to earth on Sunday. Sorry

Dont you remember the great European nights. Rafa was brilliant at harnessing the power of the Kop through some carefully timed quotes and actions. The pc before the Chelsea semi final was brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

Did he really say that!? This is absolute poppycock from him.

I'm pretty much epically wrong there But you know what I mean about Rafa being unfased by this stuff whereas Roy just seems catatonic.

-----------Reina

----------Grabiner------------

Purslow-Meireles-Broughton-Ayre

-----------Gerrard
---------------Torres

Think that'll do, especially happy with the defence

[peekay]

Another beauty from Hodgson

"I suppose there is extra importance because both of us are desperately in need of points - but it would be nice if we could get them."

If not for the positive feeling among the fans due to the takeover, I think some one would have punched him by now.
