Topic: Newcastle 1-0. Liverpool: Half time....

[Z e u s]

Assuming everyone is fit, I'd like to see:

Reina

Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique

Spearing Shelvey

Gerrard Suarez Maxi

Bellamy

If Bellamy isn't fit, I'd play Carroll.

If Johnson isn't fit play Kelly, if Kelly isn't fit play Flanagan.

If Agger isn't fit play Coates.

Sterling should be on the bench.

We willwin this, but Newcastle will finish above us!  Mainly because they have goal scorers in Cisse and Ba!

[lessthanmatt]

I remember that 5-1 victory fondly! (if I'm thinking of the right game too lazy to watch the vid right now). Thought it was one of the first games where Lucas showed his class, and the scoreline would've been much higher if Given hadn't made a string of fantastic saves early on.

Can't say I foresee a similar performance this time, neither can anyone else I'd guess- Newcastle have been impressive all season and we're in a terrible slump where the team seem unmotivated for large periods of every game. Coates and Carroll to start please, for Carra and Dirk respectively.

[liverpoolfan33]

Team I would play if Johnson and Bellamy are out:                     

                         Reina
Kelly       Skrtel         Coates          Enrique
                       Spearing
   Kuyt       Gerrard    Maxi       Sterling
                         Suarez

Subs: Doni, Carragher, Aurelio, Flanagan, Downing, Carroll, Eccleston

[Always_A_Red]

Im going to stay optimistic and say we'll only lose 2-0 

[Always_A_Red]

Assuming everyone is fit, I'd like to see:

Reina

Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique

Spearing Shelvey

Gerrard Suarez Maxi

Bellamy

If Bellamy isn't fit, I'd play Carroll.

If Johnson isn't fit play Kelly, if Kelly isn't fit play Flanagan.

If Agger isn't fit play Coates.

Sterling should be on the bench.

We willwin this, but Newcastle will finish above us!  Mainly because they have goal scorers in Cisse and Ba!

And they are already 8 points ahead of us....we have won 8 points out of the last 33 available....think that may be a big factor too 

[kennedy81]

I'm really dreading this game.
the knives will be out big time if we loose again.

I'll say 1-0 to us, with Sterling coming on to score a screamer in the top corner in the last minute.

[Z e u s]

                        Pepe

    Kelly    Skrtel    Coates    Enrique

                    Spearing
             Henderson   Maxi
                     Gerrard

               Carroll   Suarez

...it's not like we're using the width anyway

Would rather see Shelvey start over Henderson.  Think Henderson has had enough chances this season, time to give Shelvey some!

[ScottyBoy_21]

Carroll
Sterling - Suso - Suarez
Shelvey - Gerrard
Enrique - Skrtel - Coates - Flanagan
Reina

[shetty5]

I'd just like to see the team that twatted the bitters and watch them play the same way.

At least there is an excuse if Newcastle win big time 
Hashtag StayPositive

[Z e u s]

Carroll
Sterling - Suso - Suarez
Shelvey - Gerrard
Enrique - Skrtel - Coates - Flanagan
Reina

and our player of the season Bellamy?

[Another Red]

and our player of the season?

He's already chosen Skrtel.

[Gifted Right Foot]

any news on bellamy, johnson and agger? 

[Z e u s]

He's already chosen Skrtel.

I thought Skrtel was our player of the season, but being at fault for two goals in our last two games - I think Bellamy has been the most consistent.  Whenever used he has been top draw!

[faris_sn]

I want to see Steve, Luis and Sterling starting

he'll start in my wet dream maybe...

[RivaGe]

              Carroll
         Sterling - Suarez
         Shelvey - Suso - Gerrard
Robinson - Skrtel - Coates - Flanagan
                Doni

 

[Discipline]

he'll start in my wet dream maybe...

tmi..................................................

[Something Awful]

Normal team with God up front with Suarez.

That way all this bullshit post hitting keeper saving nonsense will end, even if God spends the entire time in the Geordie box because his pace is gone.

[subroc]

tmi..................................................

It's probably agaisnt the law as well...

[Believe]

Really looking forward to this! Nothing better to get over a bad result that a decent game of football

Really want to see Shelvey start....

[Felch Aid]

2 - 0 to us. At least we can re-open the CL thread again

[rollwithit]

"The club is allowing all the major players of the team to go. Seriously, do you think it is the fault of the players? Andy , nobby etc etc. This club will never again fight to be among the top six again with this policy." Jose Enrique

Aye alreet Jose, hope Ben Arfa rips him to pieces on Sunday, still can't get over getting 35 million for Carrol and getting Ba and Cisse for 7 million, karma for Dalglish selling all our class players years ago and replacing them with shit.

[stoa]

Hmmm... Newcastle? St. James Park? Difficult situation? Reminds me somehow of that game with Rafa (with the "You don't know what you're doing"-guy shouting at Fat Sam). 5-0-win with an Andy Carroll-hattrick? Would be fun...

I think you are in the wrong website.

[rollwithit]

I think you are in the wrong website.

Nah am on the right website like, looking forward to the game on Sunday, the prospect of having Perch and Williamson at the back is frightening so you's will score, Colocini will be a big miss, call me deluded or whatever it is we get branded as but Colocini is the best center half in the country, aslong as Ba Cisse and Ben Arfa are on there game, am confident we'll get a result. If there not on thier game the Big Sho is always on the bench.

[LondonRedMan]

Looking forward to this one. A chance to put the bad run to an end and to start building momentum for the semi final

Nah mate, Big Show will be at Wrestlemania - April 1st is Wrestlemania in Florida. So you will have no Big Show on the bench

[penga]

More like a chance to propel Newcastle to CL spot so Spurs and Chelsea don't get it! Which will the result in Newcastle losing the playoff next season

na

I bet you cried the day Carroll left, only glad now in hindsight. What a big man you are. Coming on here with your Manc name and your Manc avatar...

[PAC-MAN]

Latest comment on that vid is so true aswell.

The days when Liverpool had quality players

Torres.. to Carroll

Alonso.. to Adam

Mascherano.. to Spearing

Benayoun.. to Henderson

The nosedive is shocking

Not nice at all pal!! but we just got to support the team!!!

[rollwithit]

  Aye, would love to see Shola choke slam someone, Sunday is gunna be a class day like, on the drink all day in the best City in the country then back to me mates to watch wrestle mania get electrified

[sirjames]

We will win. then get beat at blackburn.

A team chasing CL versus a team already on the beach... I know who I reckon will do it. Of course, as a united fan jeeringly explained it to me "Liverpool are like a drowning man, there will be occasional moments of respite as they manage to get their head above water for one last gasp of air, before sinking without a trace" so perhaps this will be one of those rare moments when the lungs fill ever so slightly and the team put out a good performance, before slumping to (predictable) mid table mediocrity.

A was gutted when he left, just as a was gutted when Jose left, but the grass isn't always greener, and when you have the likes of Ba, Cisee, Ben Arfa, Tiote, Cabaye and santon. It makes that painful day all worth while.

But those United fans know that Liverpool is United's biggest nightmare - that their last couple of decades in the sun will end when the phoenix rises again...it almost happened under Benitez, and it can still happen again if we play our cards right...

thats the spirit..

seriously dont know why the likes of you bother

seems you'd be far better off fucking off and supporting United with your mate

[surfer. Fuck you generator.]

Welcome. Some Newcastle supporting mates are saying the absence of Coloccini is a free pass at goal for us. Are your other centre backs really that crap, I remember hearing some good things about Perch's form picking up in the last few games..Why haven't you invested in a centre back then during the past season (summer / January window).

If it's really that serious, then i quite fancy us. We have problems against well organised defensive units, where the defenders are at least competent. If they're not even that, due to the amount of times we move the ball into the final third we'll get the goal even if we have barely any organised penetrative attacks.

If your team resorts to retreating deep into your half and giving us the ball, that'll be fantastic. The teams that have gotten something against us have mostly pressed us high and kept the ball and kept possession well in the middle thirds and even in our own half. With the notable exception of your great friends and bosom buddies Sunderland, they were just a bunch of well organised ruggers.

[gandalf50]

Judging by Kennys comments, about too much pretty football, in the Echo. Carroll will start and we will be knocking a lot of long balls up to him.

[stewil007]

I guess most don't like to predict the negative, but i'm finding it hard to think we will get much from this game.  Our defence is shaky without Agger, our midfield is something of an enigma and our attack is as sharp as custard.

The way things are going i can see a 3-1 loss, i think their attack has more about it than our defence can handle.

Either that or we'll win or draw, maybe but probably might could will shouldn't
