LFC v Arsenal - Match build up thread

[SB]

Can see this being a battering, we are awful and they are arguably the greatest side on earth. An honour just to share the pitch with them.

was the a Kolo quote Chris ?

[SB]

Aren't Sakho and Agger both left sided CBs? So I suspect that when everyone is fit it is one or the other, probably with Skrtel on the other side.

This yes.

Did you buy it from Sarb? Poor guy's going to suffer an embolism if he continues supporting LFC!

[BobTheCharmer]

PRAYING Sakho or Agger are fit. Kolo - big fat Kolo - would have an absolute nightmare against their quick, short passing.

Dear Lord, why are you swapping from BT to TalkTalk?

I'm going the other way next Thursday.

Kolo was nervous as hell against them in the last fixture. And a bit useless without having a go.

Post the WBA screw up his head will be in all the wrong places. A half fit Sakho has to play. Plus Allen has to replace Coutinho or they'll murder us.

At least Gerrard is in imperious form again. Just in time.

His confidence is in shambles after that fiasco vs WBA and hopefully either Sakho or Agger will be ready for Saturday.

It will be interesting to see if BR will drop Coutinho or Sterling as I think he'll go with Allen, Hendo and Stevie as long as Allen is fully fit to play from the start.

[Rigadon]

please - no more. Poor Kolo.

Our system (style of play) requires 'ball playing' defenders i.e. defenders that are comfortable in possession. We currently have Toure and Cissokho in our back four (playing behind a non existent midfield). How the **** are we still 4th??

[Sarb]

Think Henderson should take the position of Coutinho and Allen come into midfield. Coutinho has been very hit and miss this season

Or we could hope we pull out an Everton type performance. Need to play with a high tempo this game

[Sarb]

We should have looked to bring Wisdom back in Jan. Been brilliant at Derby

[Fosterbloke]

Yeah we definitely need to win that midfield battle but I think Sterling adds that bit more sting in the attack with his strength and blistering acceleration and pace.

Coutinho can come on later should tactics or injury dictate it.
