Liverpool v West Ham Pre Match

[Rich]

Roy's grand plan for West Ham:

Reina
Carragher - Krygiakos - Skrtel - Konchesky
Merieles - Poulsen - Spearing - Maxi
Kuyt - Ngog

We *might* press high up the pitch, nick a goal and than cling on for dear life.

If he doesnt start Meireles in the middle for this one then hopefully Raul murders him.

He was very good in the middle against Blackburn (so gets put out wide ever since) and was absolutely outstanding last night against Spain in the ****ing middle!

Well hopefully royston has watched the Spain vs portugal game and worked out that raul is a central midfielder!

I actually feel sorry for him, good player that has come into a side with a complete moron as a manager that wasn't even sure what position he plays in.

quotes from royston

"We signed Meireles and the day after he went for 10 days away with Portugal and then came back for two days and made a substitute appearance against Birmingham.

"He had two training sessions and played on Thursday night and he played again on Sunday so it is very early for me to make very strong judgements about where his best position is.

"The work we do on the training field will show me how best to use him.

"He actually went out wide right late in the United game and did okay there also.

"All I can say is he has a lot of qualities and I'm sure we'll get a lot of use out of him.

"Most importantly he is a good and talented footballer and he is capable of playing anywhere across the midfield so we will see how we box it up together."

why don't you look back throughout his career to see whats best for him!

[RedReet]

Have we ever won a game, thats been on ESPN?

I can only think of one and that was last year against west ham at upton park

I think your answer is yes then.

[The Birdman]

So definately out are -
Gerrard
Johnson
Agger
Lucas

Possibly out are -
Kuyt
Torres

Unfortunately fit are -
Pouslon
Konchesky.

Seeing how good ol Roy loves his 4-4-2 the team will probably be -
Reina
Carra Kyriakos Skrtel Konchesky
Maxi Poulson Meirelies Jovanovich
Kuyt/Torres/Ngog (2 from those 3 depending on fitness)

How we will field a team at home against the bottom of the league without Kelly in it astounds me but that is what will happen.

On the bench will be everyone except Pacheco

[The Birdman]

I also think its time to look at the odds for a West Ham win.................

[Arn]

That Kuyt is an injury doubt is only down to one man, Roy, and that he decided to play him three times in around a week straight after an injury.

Roy will NEVER care about a players long term fitness. It's only next game that counts.

Torres injury problems is also much down to Roy and that he decided to play him to early at the start of the season after his injury.

Even an idiot would figure out that he would get problems later on because of that.

You don't need to pack your bags Roy. We will keep your things to pay the damage you are responsible for.

Think I might slip them on my coupon this weekend.

[-V-]

Whats wrong with Kuyt? Why are people suggesting that Kuyt and Torres are out?

I expect the team to line-up like this-

....................Pepe
Kelly/GJ...Carra....Skrtle....Bombscare
Maxi.......Meireles...Poulsen....Jovanovic
.................Kuyt.....Torres

Personally I would start David Ngog instead of Jovanovic and put Kuyt onto the wing

[Shaggy]

Dirk pulled out of the Holland game last night with a recurrence of the ankle injury that kept him out recently.

[-V-]

Damn. Well if Roy plays the team iv suggested above with Ngog in for Kuyt then I don't see why we can't win, west ham are awful

[Arn]

Kuyt is having problem with the ankle he injured a few weeks ago.
Thank you very much Roy, idiot.

[Reece]

I literally can't wait for this game. It's going to be awesome.

[Arn]

I literally can't wait for this game. It's going to be awesome.

Only if Roy get the sack after the first half. That would liven up things a bit.

[-V-]

...............Pepe
Kelly.....Carra...Skrtle...Aurelio
Maxi....Meireles..Poulsen...Jova
............Ngog....Torres

That is a team that could get 3 points.

Although Johnson, Babel and Bombscare are all possible starters for Saturday.
