Our defence is DEF weakened by the absence of cech. . . .Liv's defence is also shit nowadays!. . .And its at the bridge. . . .Money on Chelsea to win!

It's definitely going to be a cracking game but the UCL fixture's in Liverpool's favour; they play on Tuesday at nearby Florence, Italy while Chelsea will travel to far Greece on Wednesday. Thus giving the Reds more prep time. Don't forget that Chelsea haven't beaten Liverpool at the bridge in their last 4 attempts I think).

BlueDiva:
Cech ain't Cech of before.

Doesn't make Hilario any better, does it?

It's not the end of the world for Chelsea though I agree with Sauron that they are yet to be really tested. Face it, needing 'extra' 'extra' time to beat the likes of Hull and Stoke (beaten 6-1 and 4-0 respectively by Liverpool) isn't very flattering.

Also pray Cashley is fit to marshal your left flank because the Glen Johnson-Kuyt partnership is just as deadly as the Gerrard-Torres alliance.

LAUGH OUT FREAKIN' LOUD!! The Reds are coming to lay Chelsea to rest next week!

For goodness' sake, WIGAN?!!

Babel scores a second! Lucky though! its 6-1!

Hey Bgees! Babel Scores!! 5-1

Its a mauling at Anfield!

Now Gerrard off! Masch on.

bgees:
40 yards!!!!


take off Torres and Gerrard and maybe Lucas.

I have fiorentina in mind.

Bgees!!!! Rafa heard! Torres off, Babel on. You've spoilt the game for me!

SCRATCH THAT!! Gerrard scores an absolute screamer from all of 40 yards!!! I love you man! 4-1

Lucas is teaching Gerrard some footballing basics today!

torrrrrrressssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hat trick!!!!!

bgees:
me self dey wonder O!

Reporting in England can be very lazy and I'm sick of good players in the squad being overlooked!

2-1 to the Reds currently. Torres with a brace. We need to sort out the back asap!! Insua looking excellent and Kuyt not playing well.

mukina2:
although Fernando Torres, benayoun and Steven Gerrard still seem like the only players capable of getting on the scoresheet in Rafa Benitez’s side.

E-R-R-O-R!!

Torres---5 goals
Kuyt-----4 goals
Yossi-----3 goals
Ngog----2 goals
Glen Johnson---2 goals
Stevie G------2 goals

So where is all this Gerrard+Torres myth coming from on the evidence of this season's goal stats?

Just called my girlfriend; we're going out tonight after all!!!! I'll tell her she's more important than the match. . . and she'll believe it!!


_{PS- She's more important though}

I don't know. . .do we really need these cars to view these matches?I was told a nice telly would do the trick. . .

So Hull's next! Hope we put 5 goals past them seeing their morale is at an all-time low!

My team;

Reina

Johnson Carragher(Agger?) Skrtel Insua/Aurelio



Masch Lucas


Kuyt/Yossi Gerrard Yossi/Riera


Torres


Babel, Agger and Ngog to come in at some point.

Cristalz:
United played only a little better than Liverpool did yesterday.  .  .but then, Liverpool played with 11 men.

Anywayz, like we agreed yesterday, class outweighs effort.

Stop winding me up! Of course Liverpool played better (AWAY FROM HOME TOO)!

And I thought Liverpool were bad yesterday~~

United are playing like a Sunday league team!

Cristalz:
Liverpool with a lucky, undeserved win. Leeds did very well indeed.

Nonsense my dear. Class, in football, far outweighs effort. Liverpool didn't play well cos all those players (except Carragher and Babel) haven't got up to 60 minutes of football under their belts this season (not to mention them never playing together as a team prior to this match). Add that to playing an in-form Leeds (undefeated so far) away in front of that vociferous crowd and you get a more unbiased picture.

Thanks for keeping us entertained and yes Carragher and Dossena are shitty!

FBS:
Go Leeds!

biina:
Leeds are top of L1 and are off to a great start.
Hope Beckford & co can put the reds to the sword at elland road

Ahhh. . .Leeds United fans! I really don't care about the silly Carling Cup. Just hope some youngsters and Agger are given a run-out. This cup should be about gearing up future stars.

biina:
being a fan should not equal being delusional.
Selling Alonso and buying Aquilani has made liverpool a weaker team. It is obvious that Lucas is not as good as Alonso, and Aquilani is yet to play his first game.

Take a step back and read those comments again; silly statements aren't they. Alonso wanted to leave and you haven't even seen Aquilani play for Liverpool. Saying that Lucas is not as good as Alonso is like saying that Nani is not as good as Ronaldo. Also Alonso was not that good at 22 yrs (couldn't make it to the Spanish Team) so give Lucas a chance (at least he's better than Mikel Obi)

illusion2:
will wait patiently t'nite

Where's Agger? Carragher has been a shadow of himself recently. We scored a set-piece goal against a team utilizing man-marking BUT I don't see anyone here pointing that out. Liverpool had the highest number of clean sheets for 3 consecutive seasons using the same system!!! The system's not the problem; the individuals are.

CAN Gerrard please STOP taking the corner-kicks?

Thank God for Torres!!!

Go you Reds! Put them to the sword! I hope we'll take at least a quarter of the chances created.

What a truly horrible performance!! Job done.

chic2pimp:
Scousers where una dey nah?

We're just watching the match. Half time now. And the Reds up 1 nil courtesy of deadly Dirk. However, I hope the reds play better during the 2nd half. They've been wasteful so far.

illusion2:
Why play Yossi so deep? 

That for me is just a starting formation. Yossi will always roam forward while Gerrard could drop deep when we're defending. Also Kuyt could come behind Torres while Gerrard or Yossi moves to the right. The beauty of these three players is that they can play in any position behind the striker (this strength tore Burnley apart).

But I see your concern, perharps Gerrard should just play MC with Yossi at AM. I hate breaking up the Torres-Gerrard alliance though!

My line up;

                                           Reina

Johnson             Carra                    Skrtel             Insua


                        Lucas/Masch           Yossi           


Kuyt                                Gerrard                                 Riera

                                        Torres


Babel and Aurelio to play at some point. Let's take this game seriously guys. Debrecen is currently on an eight-game winning streak!

illusion2:
I hope this is not another disaster in the making

According to a recent poll from the Professional Football Players' Observatory, English clubs employ the highest proportion of expatriate players, with 59.2% coming from abroad.

Liverpool have the highest percentage in Europe of expatriate players within their squad, measuring 90%.  

Illusion, I wouldn't read too much into that. We have three English players in our starting eleven (compared with United's four, Arsenal's one and Chelsea's three) with youngsters like Spearing, Darby and Kelly as substitutes. I also don't care if we have to name an all Jamaican team to play good football

Hi guys I woke up to some good news today;

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5560433,00.html

As for Debrecen (or whatever), I think it's going to be 4-0 to the Reds (we can't seem to get that 5th goal! )
Just hope Aurelio gets to play at some point. Our set-pieces haven't been up to scratch without the bloke. Also give Dossena and Babel a look-in for confidence' sake.

DID YOU KNOW?

1. Liverpool has the joint-highest goals scored so far in the EPL at 13?
2. Have the highest number of shots at 93?
3. Have the second-highest shot accuracy ratio at 56%?
4. Javier Mascherano is the current top passer at 378 passes? (albeit missing a match and subbed off in another?)
5. Gerrard has the highest number of crosses so far at 50?

Who says we are a defensive team?

illusion2:
my only concern has always been the depth of our bench,cos pursuing 4 titles ain't easy. . .at least 40 games per player (excluding internationals). . .  .so having a deep bench is reall important.

I'm sure Rafa will strengthen with a player or two in January. However a bench of:

Cavalieri
Agger
Insua
Dossena
Lucas
Riera
Babel

isn't too shady
also,

Degen, Kelly, Spearing, Voronin, Ngog, Kyrgiakos, El Zhar aren't that bad for certain Cup games. I only feel we should let Babel go.

bgees:
where are those Lucas' haterz? I swear if anyone disses the guy again. i will e-shoot that person. i get e-gun and it works.

on a serious note, Lucas did well on saturday, hopefully he can continue like that and we can keep beating the 'small teams easily like we did Stoke and now  Burnley. if we continue like this, then i say we have improved.

True.

Most people who senselessly slate Lucas only watch highlights of Liverpool matches. The lad has improved THOUGH I'd have him as back-up to Masch or Aquilani in most matches. He's a true proffesional.

Er, isn't this where Illusion and Maedan exchange phone numbers?

Anyway he's right, Liverpool fans are the coolest around, we've also got some ladies there too. And one more thing, we have very few plastic fans!
