Alonso had dead leg so can't be 100%.

smicer07 · « **Reply #7 on:** August 16, 2008, 04:44:26 pm »

No surprises for me really. Thought Agger might start, but not surprised Alonso has been benched for this. Going to be a physical game.

why do all you people try to start the first in game thread, do you get anything from it?

if he is fit enough for the bench he should be fit enough to play

Uhoh AureliOs · « **Reply #11 on:** August 16, 2008, 04:44:40 pm »

Agger isn't starting because Rafa needs a cb who can head the ball at a guess.

-HH- · « **Reply #12 on:** August 16, 2008, 04:44:58 pm »

0-0. Nailed on.

Come on redmen!!!

Yawn.

Different asking him to play 20 minutes if desperately needed to starting a physical game with a dead leg.

Gerrard wasn't fit enough to start on Weds but he was on the bench.

legoflamb · « **Reply #17 on:** August 16, 2008, 04:46:11 pm »

Ngog to come off the bench and win it second half.

constipatinator · « **Reply #18 on:** August 16, 2008, 04:46:15 pm »

No Pennant, Finnan or Voronin.

retardoLFC · « **Reply #19 on:** August 16, 2008, 04:46:34 pm »

Gerrard, Keane

Somenting to do with how they played on Wednesday and the reaction in training on Thursday & Friday.

You have to admire Rafa really, he nearly always always gives his critics amumition should we fail, the thing is we rarley do.

He's probabley thinking sunderland will play long balls, hence Hyppia & it looks like alonso has asked to leave, so why bother or run the risk of him getting injured?

lfcmaster · « **Reply #23 on:** August 16, 2008, 04:47:29 pm »

strong line up hopefully keane and torres get amongst the goals
good news that the gog is on the bench

looks like pennant and voronin are both going to be sold

wasn't having a go at you, just the starting of in game threads seems like a race, one would think money was involved

Alonso_The_Assassin · « **Reply #25 on:** August 16, 2008, 04:47:51 pm »

Alonso copped a knock and was doubtful to start.

Surprised about the Hyypia inclusion.

UntouchableLuis · « **Reply #26 on:** August 16, 2008, 04:48:00 pm »

If Agger's not fit enough to start then why isn't Skrtel starting?

Still recovering from a knock. Will be a 100 p next week.

Cruiser · « **Reply #33 on:** August 16, 2008, 04:49:35 pm »

Looks like a flat 4-4-2 to me.

Surprised Hyypia is starting. No Pennant on the bench leaves us with zero width on the right.

Should scrape this 1-0.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard will be fit to lead them into the new season after recovering from a thigh injury.

There are doubts over Xabi Alonso and Yossi Benayoun, but Fabio Aurelio and Martin Skrtel are back in contention.

Drunknmunky · « **Reply #35 on:** August 16, 2008, 04:49:51 pm »

Don't like the look of that midfield but there aren't many options I suppose.

Cooooooooooome ooooooooooooon.

abhred · « **Reply #36 on:** August 16, 2008, 04:49:59 pm »

It's obvious. Sunderland to will play a long ball game, and we need strength in the air.

People should be happy that Rafa is showing so much faith in a youngster like Plessis.

Not very surprising. Surely Hyypiä's aerial ability can be handy against Sunderland? And if the Xabi transfer-reports+injury are correct it's not a shocker that he isn't playing.

I'm more surprised that he's got Ngog + El Zhar on the bench instead of Voronin+Pennant though. Especially as he registered Voro instead of Ngog for CL.

El Zar, mate. He'll be okay.
