Manchester United vs Liverpool: FA Cup Match Thread

[SimonNo7]

ITV have us 442, with Meireles on the right and Dirk up top.

Surely it's 4231??

I reckon we will be 4-4-1-1 with Maxi on the left, Kuyt on the right, Meireles & Lucas in the middle and Stevie off Torres.

its nothing and yet its everything.

A loss and it means nothing.

A win and it could be the start of the next chapter in the LFC story.

Fair point, but ultimately its the league thats key and the fa Cup in the grand scheme of things is nothing.

Difficult game for Kenny to come into, baptism of fire. I'm glad its in the cup though and not the league, we can not afford any slip ups in the league at the moment.

Looking forward to the game though, its a good feeling

Fergie completely disrespectful to The King's appointment - c*nt!

1-4-2-3-1 for me

Kenny Dalglish has named his first Liverpool team since his return to the dugout for this afternoon's FA Cup third round clash with Manchester United. Listen live online from 1.25pm GMT.

Glen Johnson is absent because his wife is in labour, while the likes of Daniel Agger, Martin Kelly and Fabio Aurelio return for what is bound to be a memorable day at Old Trafford.

The team in full is: Reina, Aurelio, Kelly, Agger, Skrtel, Meireles, Lucas, Maxi, Kuyt, Gerrard, Torres. Subs: Gulacsi, Kyrgiakos, Wilson, Shelvey, Poulsen, Ngog, Babel.

Now that is what I call a team.

They hate each other. He's rattled, thats why he's not doing the old pals thing!

[danperkins]

Kenny hasn't prepared the team for this game, if it is 442 i wouldn't be majorly suprised. I hope he has rung the changes in a short time and gone 4231, but we'll see.

I'd just be a bit gutted if that is the way we went from Blackpool on. Meireles at RM should never happen IMO.

its very sudden, and if we lose i won't be too bothered. He'll put his stamp on things soon enough.

Anybody got a stream that will work on a Mac? in advance.

Great banner:

'Scousers rule and don't you forget it'!!!!!!!

[RichC]

ha ha **** you Fergie - he'd have been all smiles if Roy was managing the team.

[Daniel 7]

Thank **** Agger is back!

[dom9]

Try one where it says 'Other' (not Sopcast/PPLive etc.)

[el matador]

fergie is rattled.

he used the word resurfaced as if kenny was some great white back on the prowl again.

the kenny effect has started... just hope the players can back this up with a performance on the pitch.
