Topic: Newcastle vs Liverpool - Prem League - Sat 1st Nov - 12.45pm

[BUSHMILLS]

Why do people still have agendas against Johnson?

Maybe because he's been dogshit for the last 12 months.

[wemmick]

I reckon, based on the Swansea formation, we will play tomorrow:

--Manquillo--Skrtel--Lovren--Moreno--

                       --Gerrard--

                --Can----------Allen--

                                      --Sterling--

       Borini--------Balotelli

Manquillo and Borini provide the width by overloading the right, which hopefully will keep Aarons occupied with defensive duties. Can can drive into the space vacated by Borini. Sterling has the option of cutting inside or driving down the left with Moreno conservatively overlapping. Gerard should have a great passing day with staggered lines and Sterling as his moving outlet. I think this formation and personnel will give Newcastle nightmares if we play relatively well.

I exclude Coutinho and Henderson only because I think they need to be 100% fit for the Madrid game. They can easily come off of the bench. Lallana could also start in place of Borini if that's more appropriate.

[Always_A_Red]

Everton, United, City, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea fans, even a Watford fan that I've spoken to all hate him. Guardian forums are full of opposition fans who can't stand him.

So what? My mate in work supports Blackburn and he hates him. God knows why but I can only se it as a good thing. He doesn't like the way he comes across in press conferences? So fucking what? Get over it dickhead, you're team are struggling in the Championship and we are playing Real Madrid in 3 days!

The day that media, opposition fans and players start to love Brendan is the day that he will leave Liverpool. That's just the way it is. I fucking love him and that's all that matters to me.

Manquillo skrt lovren moreno
                  Lucas
      Henderson Coutinho
                 Sterling
          Borini    Balotelli

Can see Allen and Henderson starting against Madrid and Chelsea. Tomorrow Can and Lallana are there to replace Hendo and Coutinho if we get the chance.
Hopefully see Gerrard get a rest - will we though?

[Henry Kissinger]

And?

You'd have to see the post I was replying to. Ordinarily I don't give two shits about the opinions of odious gobshites with the intellect of a mattress.

 

I'm referring to the fans of other clubs btw, not you. I know how posts can look or be misinterpreted.

[long.]

As well as Borini did midweek I dont see Brendan starting him. We all know how stubborn he is, it'll end up being Lallana Balotelli Sterling with Hendo Allen Stevie

[BlackandWhitePaul]

I'm putting £10 on Newcastle to win 2-0     

[lalchitri]

Thursday training pics (Friday is usually more accurate) has bib theory as Moreno, Skrtel, ?, Manquillo, Can, Allen, Gerrard, Lallana, Sterling, Balotelli.
My guess is ? would be Lovren, but couldn't make him out in any of the pics.
Henderson would have been selected for the mid week LC and Madrid games, while Allen plays on Tyneside.
Coutinto as above WRT Henderson mid week games.

[Big Dirk]

Would be shocked if Henderson doesn't start tomorrow.

[plums123]

These are shit. We'll smash them.

we have to beware of sammy ammy

[L8Craig]

The only reason why we should play 1 striker tomorrow is to be defensively more solid in midfield. Being away and all that.
Other than that, we've been truly shocking with only 1 proper striker up there so 2 have to start if we want the win.

[Bobinhood]

This game denotes Brendans second (ever) CL player rotation run through. Keeping in mind he says hes got it planned to the nth degree, subject to changing circumstances of course, and we are coming off the LC rotation-w.

so the composition of the lineup picked ahead of a CL tie with Real, on the road where we are heavy second favorite's but where a niller would be precious, will tell us......

That the situations really complicated, but markawitz better pull up his socks pretty soon or else? too many permutations for my brain at the moment.

Think we'll spank these.

[Fiasco]

He had a rest midweek.

Such decadence.

I'm wearing my Liverpool top before I sleep. I have a clean record with this superstition so we will win tomorrow. You're all welcome.

1-3 Balo Moreno Gerrard

[Gerrard#1]

Since when did we give a fuck about opposition fans' views of our manager?

I do because if Brendan is hated, it means he's doing his job.

Ha ha

[DanA]

I reckon the team will be:

                          Mignolet
Manquillo     Skrtel           Lovren       Moreno
                            Gerrard
                 Coutinho      Henderson
             Sterling                      Balotelli
                             Lambert

Be interesting to see what Rodgers actually goes with but IMO this is our best chance of getting a result against Newcastle which is the most important game we face IMO (more important than Real Madrid).

[CanuckYNWA]

                          Mignolet

Wouldnt mind that but id rather see this

                          Mignolet
Manquillo     Skrtel           Lovren       Moreno
                            Gerrard
                 Coutinho      Henderson
                             Sterling                     
                       Borini     Balotelli

1-3 Balo Moreno Gerrard

I'm using "Red Shock" aftershave, my record with it is  3-0-1, its the best option I have until I get my Hi-Karate for Christmas which will definitely help us kick on into the top 4 and beyond.

[bird_lfc]

Borini deserves at least a spot on the bench. Balotelli to start.

I reckon it'll end 1-1.

[AndyMuller]

PLEASE play two upfront from the start Brendan.

[SimplyRed91]

Two up-front please.

This. Hoping to see Balotelli and Borini up their as he's earned a shot imo.

[Funky_Gibbons]

Really don't understand the calls for two up front. Are Balotelli and Borini going to suddenly become clinical and creative if they're paired together.

They have four Premier League assists between them and don't really score enough.

[Upinsmoke]

Just a point regarding that toon forum, came across this..

Thompson like every other liverpool fan can **** off. You didn't finish second you retards

So even though we did finish second, we're retarded?

I don't get that. So where did we finish then?

[Redknobprob]

Are you serious?

[Solomon Grundy]

Are you serious?

To be fair mate, he's every right to feel confident about his team.

[Upinsmoke]

I don't get that. So where did we finish then?

I know. The irony in using that word too.

[LondonRapLondon]

Injury news/views from a Newcastle fan site for those who are interested:

Siem De Jong, Jonas Gutierrez, Davide Santon and Curtis Good will miss out through injury. Pardew has stated that it'll be touch and go up to kick off with regards to Papiss Cisse making a comeback. Mike Williamson has been pictured training and Steven Taylor is expected to have shaken off the knock that caused him to miss our League Cup win at Manchester City. Rolando Aarons and Ryan Taylor are unlikely to start as they are reportedly very tired after making their injury comebacks at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday. The fitness of Cheick Tiote will be assessed before kick off but he's unlikely to feature having not trained.

That's right, we do just fine by ourselves!

[Solomon Grundy]

Haha. True.

Many a wet dream about the Hi-Karate girl.

[Lasardine]

Mignolet, Manquillo, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno, Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling, Borini, Balotelli

Jones, Toure, Johnson, Can, Markovic, Lallana, Lambert

[Lasardine]

Maybe because he's been dogshit for the last 12 months.

People can't admit when he's good. He's not been dogshite for 12 months. He's been dogshite in periods over the 12 months.

[SuperStevieNicol]

I'll have £10 with you it isn't 2-0 to your lot!

[RedEire]

We look lost up top when we play with a lone striker. In the last 20months we have looked our most dangerous with two up top ( I know there's a big difference in Daniel+luis vs mario+borini or lambert) but still, coutinho and co has more people ahead of him to make moves and runs, we press better up top with two, mario seems to pull out to the wings a bit so we need somebody in the middle and we just don't look as static when there is two strikers pulling defenders around the place.

Strikers are firstly judged on goals, let Gerrard, hendo, Adam,coutinho,can or who ever else is playing  behind the, worry about numbers of assists and hopefully let the lads up top worry about goals 

[Skidder.]

Win!

They can't play as bad as they did together at West Ham i suppose.


I'd probably go for this today...
