Braga at Anfield

[anfieldanfield]

Biggest game of our season.

----------Carroll
Cole------Miereles------Kuyt
-------Lucas--Poulsen
Johson-Skrtel-Soto-Carra
-----------Reina

Big chance for Joe Cole to finally establish himself. Unless Maxi plays instead ?

Everyone is going to have to play well. Can't see us scoring three goals, so a clean sheet is vital.

Poulsen

Jeez, do people never learn? He's one of the most hopeless professional players this country has ever seen. He'd be a complete liability and have to be subbed on 60mins as usual. Just put Meireles in central midfield, these are ****ing rubbish, theres no reason we cant batter them.

[Big-Red-Ed]

I agree about poulsen. We should be playing Jay. He's not a world beater but he should be getting game time ahead of Poulsen. I hate to batter our own players but really Poulsen is on the road to nowhere.

[alunevans]

I'd go like this

----------------Reina-----------
Johnson---Soto---Skrtel---Carra

Kuyt---Meireles---Lucas---Maxi

------------Cole---------------
------------Carroll--------------


Here's the reasoning.

Carra won't get forward much anyhow and is actually more experienced at left back than Johnson is. So put him there.

This allow GJ to get forward with some fluidity on his natural side.

I'd drop Meireles into midfield to avoid having to play Poulsen or Spearing as I think he'd be a better option in there despite my doubts about him.

I'd then have Cole off Carroll for the simple reason that I think Cole is only useful if in the attacking third and offers nothing otherwise. So if he's playing then he has to play just off the top like that.

How many times are we going to give him , this seems to be said every game he plays? Agree with the team tho except Maxi for Poulson and Kuyt and Carroll up front

Good looking line up and no danish dumb**** to be seen

Cole is not good enough to ever start another game for Liverpool.

Very attacking. Conceed one goal and we're in trouble.

Why do you need to be so abusive about an LFC player?

Spot on, Cole in a central role and Maxi out at LM as he is our best option there (thats saying something). A very positive and attacking line up with some craft and also dangerous from set pieces.

Why do you need to be so abusive about an LFC player?

He is not and has never been good enough to be a Liverpool player. Any teamsheet that includes him is a weakened team and a big benefit for the opposing team. Ability wise he is in the same league as Konchelsky and he should be playing in the same league.

In short he is useless and a liability

[banditos]

Is Agger anywhere near fitness. He would be handy.

I agree with Spearing in midfield before Poulsen.

OK that may be right but why do you feel entitled to be abusive? He's a professional footballer trying his best and seems a decent person, if he isn't good enough it's not his fault that he was signed by Hodgson and has been played by Dalglish.

So what do you think of Dalglish selecting someone like that to play for LFC?

FFS where is Craig?
