Blackburn v Liverpool Pre-Match Thread

[Assassin]

If players remain in the squad and they get games, I will give them a fresh start. I can't really give the likes of Cole and Jova a clean break because I don't think they suit Roys system, without doing the same for Poulsen and Konk.

I'll see what the new manager thinks of them and judge them on the pitch.

Further proof that you are demented

Poulsen and Konk are "not at the races" in terms of footballing skills and footballing brains. They are ****ing useless, it saddens me to see piles of ****e like this (add hodgson to this) representing LFC

[red g]

I was just joking really

The current system should suit Konchesky as he's used to Roy's tactics, so I'd imagine he'd get worse anyway under a new manager

yes but the team doesnt suit Konchesky as he is punching way above his weight.

Was talking to my mate about the West Wing (series) at the weekend. Every time I said it, it didn’t sound right and I felt I was doing a Roy impression and had to keep repeating it until it sounded right in my head. It doesn’t help that I speak fast and wouldn’t normally pronounce the ‘T’, but to him it sounded normal every time and I just looked like a mad man going “WesWing..Wes Wing…West Wing…Westtttttt Wing’’

Ha ha, still doesn’t sound right when I speak at my normal speed.

Another reason to hate Roy!

Wtf are you on about?

I did say I'll see what the new manager thinks

On Poulsen, he doesn't lack a football brain or skill, he just (IMO) lacks the legs to get about the pitch. So I don't expect him to improve. Nor do I expect the Konk to improve as at best he is average.

Jovanovic, not LFC quality IMO, little to headless with the ball for me. Reminds me of Baros. Joe Cole I'm not sold on either, he's got the talent but hasn't showed it at all Under Roy. I'm hoping a more attacking formation will see him improve.

Meireles is the only one who's looked good, and even then I'll be looking for improvement. He hasn't shown enough so far for me to say he is someone I'd have in a first XI that will challenge at the highest level. But like many others, don't think he's had the chance.

Another player I'll be looking at it Ryan Babel. I still think he has something in him that an attacking manager can get out of him.

I don't think you can argue with that

Just noticed this strange fact.

If we win 2-1 our away perfromances will be the exact opposite of our home performances. Put a mirror next to our home table and it will show perfectly our away record.

Home: W6 D2 L2 F17 A8; With a 2-1 win Tonight: Away: W2 D2 L6 F8 A17

One day soon you'll understand, when you least expect it.

...I can't see Konk and Poulsen improving under anyone. Ever.

It'll be interesting to see if Fat Sam makes an appearance tonight, stuffing his face with a pie in one hand and holding a hastily biro-updated copy of his CV in the other...

Tonights team is apparently: Reina, Johnson, Greek, Skrtel, Konchesky, Cole, Stevie, Lucas, Maxi, N'Goals,Torres

I hope that's because he wants to give the first choice defenders Agger & Aurelio a break and they'll play at the Scum. But I don't really believe it

I am a bit worried by our right hand side defensively tbh but since the Konk is on the left they might bother with our right anyway

That surely can't be real?

Although the sentiment is spot on.

Two terrible full backs

Come back Traore and Josemi - all is forgiven lads.
