Man Utd Build Up

[Corndog]

I think kuyt should start for this one, united are very dangerous down the flanks and he provides more defensive cover. I have serious doubts about whether Suarez will start, if he does not I'd like to see Carroll up front with Stevie g behind him in an advanced midfield role with Lucas and Adam further behind.

Think Bellamy deserves a start if he's fit and up for it! If Suarez plays I would go 4-4-2 and have h next to carroll with gerrard playing beside Lucas and downing on the left.

Poxy international games can have such a negative impact when players come back, very annoying.

Unbelievable isn't it?

We only had 7 games in this new season and this will be the second break due to national teams engagements

[Maxiedge]

We're playing at home mate.

Oh ****

I'll save that post somewhere for next year

Yeah it's absolutely ludicrous, and considering that several of our players we're involved all summer in the Copa.

Nervous for this one already FFS

It just makes such a huge difference to our target for this season, win and we are right amongst it, and will have had a great start to the season. Lose and it's an average start.

Absolutely.

I'd be a lot more confident if I knew Agger, Gerrard and Suarez were starting. However Skrtel has done a decent job in deputising, and Suarez is a heck of an option from the bench.

I'm pretty certain Gerrard will start.

Just wish the next week+ was over and done with - can't wait for this one.

I worry about that too, long flight back and an early kick off aren't a good combination, presumably Lucas would be in a similar position, if they are able to start it's questionable whether they will be at their best, and both are key players for us.

Kuyt has to start, and after his cameo in the derby I'd be tempted to stick Bellamy in the side, especially if Suarez doesn't start.

What happens if it is a draw?

How would you classify our start in that case?

[dom9]

Above average.

[Mostar]

Above average.

[Neil Young]

Above average.

Compared to what? What's the data set? Above average for LFC club over the last few seasons, above average for all Premiership teams this season, above average compared to our chief rivals for fourth place, or what?

Be more specific, man, and do it quickly, before someone picks an argument with you.

[IN_RAFA_WE_TRUST]

We are going to beat them
I said in the eberton prediction thread that this is where carroll starts and he did and he will score against the scum too
They wont know what hit them

who is the ref though?

[Cormack74]

Can't decide whether I'm looking forward to this one or not.

Generally it's an instrument of torture, but on the other hand, I'm looking forward to Luis reprising his performance from last year.

I was precisely interpolating between pablo's two points of reference on his scale. I should have made that clearer.
