Southampton Build up Thread

[Glenn Hysen]

Shelvey on the ****ing left?

Playing the imaginary 8 and 1/4.

[Liverpel]

I'd be very surprised if Lucas starts.

[Joey Jones]

I'd be very surprised if Lucas starts.

It would be nice to see him come on for the last 20 minutes if we've got the game won by then.

[DannyMan2006]

Shelvey has the attacking instincts to get in the box, no issues with him on the left. We don't have Carroll in the middle so it's not like he has to get to the byline & whip a cross in on his left peg.

He may be no winger, but I am confident he will be involved in a couple of very good chances created, either setting up or having an attempt. Whether or not the chances or converted is another matter.

Shelvey and the rest have to start putting the ball in the back of the ****ing net. Too often this season I've seen EASY chances pissed up the wall.

This game has better not end up with a discussion of why we didn't sign Gaston... After the last few weeks that woyld probably be the final straw.

(for some people. and would probably not even be true.)

[Reece]

If there is a game you wouldn't rush Lucas back for it's this one, surely?

Give him 20 minutes at the end when we are already 3-0 up

[Muddled]

Shelvey back with Lucas, Allen further forward, Gerrard right and Sterling left, surely?!?

That was my trail of thought too.

And don't call me Shirley.

Good omen.

Here in China I have access to 2 english speaking sport channels: ESPN & Star Sports. Norwich, Reading & Wigan games were all shown on Star Sports, most of the others on ESPN (i.e. Spurs on wendesday, all the early kick-offs, Stoke, Newcastle).

Tonight`s game is on Star Sports so I hope it means we will win again.

Jesus, I`m desperate but we do need big win tonight.

Coincidence ftw

[chadrtc]

I think Lucas will start today, just a hunch.

Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Gerrard, Lucas, Allen, Sterling, Suarez, Shelvey. #LFC

Always bang on this lad.

Hopefully Gerrard finally in the front 3 and he also said Shelvey is on corner duty

MOTD's Alistair Mann at Anfield

Liverpool v Southampton (1500 GMT)

"One of Southampton's most notable victories was in November 1981 when they won a First Division match at Liverpool for the first time in their history during an era when the Reds completely dominated the domestic game. Saints have since added two more top-flight wins at Anfield and are sure to arrive there this weekend hopeful of another.

"Anfield has struggled to maintain its air of invincibility since those heady days of the 1970s and 1980s. This calendar year for example, it's witnessed just four home wins from the 16 Premier League games played there, while on six occasions it's seen the visitors end jubilant."

finally we will get the ball into the box instead of gerrard smashing the first defender
and why not have stevie in the middle, hovering outside the box ready to slam one in the net, always struggled to get my head around this.

Yeah makes sense having him in there but I've seen many players take our corners for many a year and very little changes quality wise.

It still rather have Gerrard in the box though,definitely
