Braga at Anfield

[RichC]

Worried about them scoring to be honest but I think we've enough to see us through.

I just dread the thought of Poulsen and Spearing in the team together again.

what a horrible looking CM

[Gray]

I'd give Pacheco a start. See if he can step it up.

[Darkon]

Good idea. Ban Darkon

I feel betrayed

[Pablo]

I feel betrayed

Just calling his bluff

[SB]

I'm seeing him on Sunday so i'll have a word for you

Tell him to man the hell up and get his lily livered sad arse back here asap

[SB]

would be good to see him get a game.

Also hope we start without both Poulsen and Spearing, neither of them are showing they have what it takes to help us progress.

Would be interesting to see Lucas and Meireles in CM with Cole, Pacheco and Kuyt behind Carroll, that would give us some offensive charachter...

I think personally I'd rather we played Poulsen or Spearing deep with Lucas and allowed Meireles to be higher up the pitch (I'd leave out Cole, but would expect Dalglish to go for him over Pacheco).

[Gray]

I've given up on Cole.

that is another possibility, but tbh. the games we have played with two holding midfielders i.e. Lucas + 1 we have not been great going forward and in this game it's what we need to do. I think we should just have Lucas playing deep with Meireles in the box-to-box role and then having either two strikers in Carroll and N'gog or Kuyt, or we should have three behind Carroll as mentioned earlier.

I'm afraid we will end up in the same situation as in Braga with very little to offer offensively if we play the same basic midfield formation.

I'd release Lucas more, giving the other DM the role of covering and breaking up as a priority and asking Lucas to link play more. I'm not sure we have been consistent enough in any formation to make generalisations - I would worry if we started Spearing and Poulsen alongside Lucas though.

Thinking about it I don't think Carroll will start. Personally I'd give Ngog a chance but Kenny doesn't seem to be a big fan.

Kenny's news conference yesterday..

[Exiled_red]

I've given up on Cole.

I think most of us have.

[Pablo]

I think most of us have.

It's all about renewable energy sources now IMO.







He's nailed on to start tonight, so we might as well get behind him. He's still got some class hidden away in there, he just needs something to go his way. Not totally given up on him just yet.

[Rich]

I've given up on Cole.

Same here pretty much.

If his legs have gone then he'll only be useful in the final third, so needs to play off Carroll.
