Liverpool vs Crystal Palace; Sat 5th Oct; 3pm

[Tee]

No one's spanked them and they've been a tad unlucky so far. I'd be over the moon with any sort of win as they'll be parking the #119, #194 and #75. Tee will get it

:wink:

[Fosterbloke]

As this will be my first game at Anfield, I am going for 5-0.

[I, Ravel Morrison]

Come on la..fit in Kelly and Wisdom too and stick Agger, Kolo and Sakho in Midfield

Mig
Kelly Skrtel Wisdom Enrique
Kolo Agger Sakho
Gerrard
Stu Luis

That's some impressive defensive midfielding.

[I, Ravel Morrison]

lucas suspended and no Allen? pluse no coutinho or johnson - so for me i'd go (or rather this what i am expecting) with an unchanged team with sterling in for lucas, henderson moving central

We should be looking to really get at Palace early, Sterling has been the 'first' sub in virtually every game, so that would suggest to me that he is highest in the pecking order, and to be honest i don't think we need a 'defensive' wing back home to Palace, i certainly would rather a more attack minded player in that position - if it was tougher side or away then possibly Kelly or Wisdom but Palace at home i'd imagine they will come parking the bus, so the back three should be more than capable of dealing with any breaks

My team as well. Don't see us changing a winning formula. Sterling as wingback should give us more attacking thrust.

[Fernandinho]

I like the sounds of Sterling at RWB, I still remember a game we played vs City early last season when Allen had an absolute blinder. Sterling basically covered the entire left hand side of the pitch, intercepting balls and slowing down the opposition build up very well. Even though he isn't the biggest/strongest I think this role shouldn't lead to disaster at all.

He looked very vulnerable defensively there against Notts County. Going forward, even on a counter, he'd be great. Against Crystal Palace we could get away with it.

[Gazzla]

Same team and formation as against Sunderland but with Henderson central and Kelly at right back, if he can't get a game at home against dung like Palace you have to question when he will ever get a game.

Other option is Alberto in the middle in the Coutinho role?

Or Sterling at RWB & Hendo central? Not sure who he'll choose.

[Tee]

Sterling at RWB? Are you guys taking the piss?

He would be lucky to get anywhere near a start on Saturday IMO.

119 from Five Ways to Bromley South is a dreary journey. If palace park that we're fcuked.

This is Palace's team from last round:

01 Speroni
02 Ward
03 Mariappa
19 Gabbidon
21 Moxey
08 Dikgacoi
15 Jedinak
46 Bannan (Jerome - 57' )
16 Gayle (Thomas - 58' )
28 Kebe (Phillips - 73' )
29 Chamakh

Aren't they going to attack the flanks and use Chamak as a target? If we play with three at the back the wing backs could be tested, I'd rather see Moses there like Dww suggested, actually sounds decent enough, we really need more cover in the squad though.

[Norbs]

Moses is ex-Palace and sod's law say he's going to be anonymous or have a stinker

[The Birdman]

Sterling good enough defensivly to play that position?

Do we need him to be at home vs Crystal Palace?
I don't think so, we can tuck Enrique a little deeper, Toure still as the right sided defender so he can cover across and get Sterling to play wide.

[Tee]

We need to go for the jugular from the start, they won't know what hit them. Really is a fantastic chance to get a confidence building convicing win and performance, as Palace genuinely are the ****tiest team I have seen in the PL.

[The Birdman]

433 please. Were too deep otherwise

What, exactly does a formation have to do with our starting position and how deep or high up the pitch we are?

It's a rhetorical question
