Liverpool Vs Sunderland Match Thread

[MrMichael]

Guys, ALL chat about streams or whatever in the specific thread ONLY please, don't want to have to be stricter than that so it is something we really need to get into the habit of this season. Really would be appreciated, thanks

oh c'mon, it's only a one game, even if we somehow lose!

It's just we've had so many false dawns. I try not to, but I end up getting so excited about every season, including last and it always ends in despair. So i'm trying to dampen my own expectations. Lets **** them up and spit them out.

Do you reckon its 433? That could be a couple of different permutations. Quite dynamic really.

Could also be a straight 442 or 4411

i understand your frustration.. but don't worry... our/mine expectation/s for this season is maximum 3rd place, so ...

Question.

Who would make way for Gerrard in that team?

Suarez has the second striker/free role sown up so Gerrard either plays in centre midfield ahead of Adam or right side ahead of Henderson IMO. I think probably it will be in place of Henderson.

then what your back to pre-school ?

[JohnDoe]

It's 4-4-2. Henderson's on the right and Downing's on the left.

We might see Downing on the right and a narrow midfield three without a player on the other flank at some points in the game.

When was Kellys last competive game - March? It could be that he's just rusty and Flanagan is the better option at the moment.

I guess so, but he's had a full pre-season so I wouldn't have thought there's much in it fitness wise. I just assumed it would be Johnson Kelly then Flanagan in that order going into the season.

Players that didn't make the cut or are injured: Jones, Poulsen, Aquilani, Maxi, Aurelio, Skrtel, Shelvey, Johnson, Gerrard and Cole. Wow.

Like the team, expect good movement around AC.

kelly was brilliant last season but a hamstring is something you have to be carefull with especially players with pace
