Liverpool v Bitters build up thread

[banditos]

It was Tweeted that Poulsen was originally in the side (with Lucas ) but Poulsen is now injured.

What a pity.

[Fredo]

He could always play Meireles behind Nando I suppose

I think he's gonna play Gerrard in CM and Meireles there. I wouldn't be surprised at all.

[Mostar]

My team:

Reina

Johnson
Carra
Skrtel
Kelly (assuming Aurelio is injured)

Lucas
Meireles

Maxi
Gerrard
Cole

Torres

Replace Maxi with Pacheco (as he can give us more width even though he is not a winger) and it's good for me.

If Johnson is injured then imo Carra will slide in RB, and Zorba will join Skrtel in the back.

Thanks for bringing us down to earth Roy

I don't know if I'd laugh or cry...

[danperkins]

How did he play then Dan, who would you compare his performance to?

There is only one Lucas Leiva.

Even remotely comparing him to Falcao is embarrassing to say the least.

[danperkins]

Have you ever seen Falcao play? He played for Brazil in the mid-eighties, not sure you were born. He was a defensive midfielder, a bit water carrier like, but Brazilians consider him to be one of their best ever.

Shockingly enough i have seen him play and he was sensational, why else would i talk about something that i have no knowledge about?

Bolded above says it all, lets never ever ever ever ever mention Lucas & Falcao in the same sentence unless its somethinhg like "Lucas isn't fit to lace Falcao's boots Or Lucas's hairstyle is not as good as Falcaos", anything else is an insult to Falcao.

[JohnDoe]

We lose if that's the team we put out. Kyrgiakos and Skrtel at CB? Minimum Rodriguez? ****ing ****.

[Leyton388]

Lets ****ing have them!

[danperkins]

If Johnson is injured/dropped, then I'd be pissed off if we move Carragher there instead of playing Kelly. Derby or no derby. He's done enough that he should be considered second choice there in my opinion.

Defintely

Oh come on, no one said he was a legend in the same breath as Falcao FFS. A journalist (Rory Smith) commented on how certain facets of his performance for Brazil in that match, reminded him of Falcao.

Those 3 above should never be starters for LFC

Rory Smith needs to shut up as he's being a very silly man.

P.S. I was being sarcastic as it is so so laughable to even make the slighest comparison between the two, chill dude.

Lucas The Legend, Zing!!!!!!

[wiw]

Any ideas what sort of team Everton will put out?

Just being curious, how old are you?

[Reece]

Just being curious, how old are you?

Real age or mental age?

To be fair, assuming Kelly's not fit (?) we have to put Carra at RB, so there's not much option at CB if Agger's also out. If Kelly's fit he should play RB and Carra CB. Shame Ayala is on loan at Hull, he'd have given us much more balance at CB this season when we're in the **** with injuries....looks like a class all round CB in the making to me, like Agger. Though then again, Roy doesn't seem to rate Agger when he is fit...

Pretty sure Meireles will play behind Torres, and Gerrard in CM alongside Lucas (with Lucas deeper) if that is really the team. Don't mind that at all.

Now here's a sentence I never thought I'd have to think/say/type - I hope Lucas has a blinder to prove to Roy that he's a much better option than Poulsen as a deep midfielder. (on that note I'm off to scrub myself in the shower before going to bed)
