Liverpool 2013-14

I was driving back from the west midlands listening to it on the radio having been invited by some baggies to stay and watch the game. The other plus point was I only got to listen to Kolo's humdinger and havnae seen it yet

We were always gonna play shite there.

Arsenal must be rubbing their hands in glee at the prospect at playing us. Just press our useless back four will probably make an error and pass directly to you! I can see a lot of goals in this next game. Hope either Sakho or Agger returns and fast!

 

[TruXta]

According to physioroom Sakho might return this weekend, Agger the following week. Either one would make a massive difference.

 

[Big Gunz]

4-4 anyone?

 

[mack]

4-4 anyone?

Hmm - It will be interesting to to how he's sets us up for this one - Sturridge and Suarez or just Suarez and an extra body in the middle Allen?

We really didn't show up at the Emirates so hopefully we'll give a better account of ourselves - hoping for a positive 2-1.

 

[TruXta]

I reckon we'll be back to counter-attacking tactics against Arsenal, no way are we gonna outplay them through the middle without Lucas to shore up the back. Gerrard won't be able to handle the pace of their high pressing, might be that Allen gets slotted into that position with Gerrard pushed higher. Ideally I'd like to see Henderson, Coutinho and Allen as our mid three for this one. Allen's currently our best outlet for the ball out from defense, by far the calmest under pressure.

 

[mack]

I think Coutinho will be the one to drop out.

 

[TruXta]

I think Coutinho will be the one to drop out.

Hmmmm. He's frustratingly inconsistent, but IDK who else can play that play-maker role given our tactics and current squad. Henderson's not had much success there, nor Allen, and Gerrard... well, no.

 

[mack]

I just can't see Rogers leaving the midfield so light, you can't drop Sturridge - Stirling has arguably been playing his best football since he broke into the team.

Top 3 are nailed on as you say, and the defense will have to whichever players are fit - it's the mid-field where Rodgers still hasn't figured things out. It's been pretty good overall, but sometimes we're just abject, and IMO that's usually from an organisational failure through the middle.

 

[mack]

So it's gonna be a 4-1-2-3 - Gerrard as a QB - Allen and Henderson and the SASAS up front

I think we'll be fucked if that happens, Gerrard's gonna cost us dearly.

I dunno - keep the middle compact - Arsenal aren't really a "width" team are they? (I dunno I haven't seen them play for ages)

They basically play 2-7-1 don't they?

 

[Big Gunz]

I hope Brenton was taking notes last night!

70 hours until kick off. Can we win it? Will need some top notch stuff from Suarez and Sturridge. 3-2 to us.

Some interesting stuff relating to scores that you might find of consequence here.

I very nearly clicked on that, but suddenly became very suspicious of your first ever post on this thread.

779 now. Ta.

Looking forward to a good game tomorrow. if we play like we did against Everton we're in with a chance. Play like we did against West Brom and we're fucked.

Would you take a point now if it was offered?

 

[Dandred]

I'm nervous as fuck. I have an arse coming over to watch the game tonight so I hope we win. Last time we played and he was here we lost.

No chance. We play to win. Anyway, hope it's a storming game.

Likewise, would consider it points dropped if we fail to win at Anfield. 0-2 Prediction.

 

[Voley]

No. You should always go out to win.

 

[mack]

Absolutely - start fast and hard... an early goal or two would be fucking fantastic!

 

[Dandred]

I hope we go at them from the off.

 

[Dandred]

Get the fuck in!
