Norwich away record so far this season: 1W, 5D, 5L.

We've been putting away lesser teams with ease so hopefully this is no different. Revenge will be in Norwich minds when Suarez bamboozled their defence. Hope to see all 3 strikers (Suarez, Sturridge & Borini) score. Need the feel-good factor to return after the 2-1 defeat at OT.

At the moment, we're on target to score 60 goals for the season. We managed 47 last season.

being downgraded with every passing hour now.Might not get any.We were in for an absolute shed load, But it seems the front is heading in a more southerly direction.More likely to affect Wales/Bristol and pass through London than hit us now.We may still get some but it wont be as bad as initially thought when there were reports we could be in for anywhere up to a foot! Couple of centimetres theyre saying now.

is there any sites/channels that are considered to be the the best/generally most accurate ?

looking at bbc and some of the newspapars and also some of the norwegian ones - and the estimates tend to vary quite a bit

From experience, I find the BBC site the least accurate, the Met Office and Met Check are decent.

----------------Reina---------------
Johnson---Skrtyl----Agger--Robinson
------------------Lucas-------------
-----------Gerrard------Suso------
--Stirridge-----Suarez----Borini---

What I'd personally like to see. I think the movement of those front three with the vision of Gerrard and Suso in behind would be constantly giving problems to their back line. If we're worried about the counter, then maybe start Henderson instead of Suso.

I'd really like to see Suso in this line-up though...I believe he'd go to another level.

metcheck tend to over emphasise and ramp up snow IMO. I use netweather quite a bit.Other option which i tend to stick with is the Liverpool Airport weather conditions (this gives up to date forecasts for pilots so is quite accurate). Either way we will get a bit of snow, but it has been downgraded massively to what it was meant to be like.We were expecting 15-25 cms on lower ground, this is now meant to be something along the lines of 2-5cms.Obviously this could all change, weather eh!!!!

AlphaDelta · « **Reply #126 on:** January 17, 2013, 11:08:20 am »

That December a couple of years ago when it snowed really bad, how many inches did we get then? I remember town grinding to a standstill, no buses, cabs - nothing. Think it was a Friday night when it started.

If it was gonna be postponed, when should we expect it to be announced?

Reina
Johnson Skrtel Carragher Robinson
Lucas
Henderson Gerrard
Borini Sturridge Suarez

Agger needs to be dropped rather than rested been very poor of late
Robinson to play left back, Wisdom drop to the bench, defensively he's not that good, went AWOL for the first goal on Sunday, he ball watches too much, still needs to learn his trade in a defensive role.
Allen needs dropping, enough said, he needs to practice his passing to Liverpool players instead of opponents.
3 strikers to start.

Should expect to win this game comfortably if the efforts put in like 2nd half last Sunday

Agger at his worst still offers much more than Carra. I won't drop him. If need to be rested, I'll prefer Coates in his place.

Not really. Carra never makes half the mistakes that Agger does.

Should the game go ahead, I don't think that Rodgers has any choice whatsoever but to play Suarez and Sturridge from the start. If Strurridge still can't do 90, then at least get 60 out of him and try and get the game won before he has to go off.

As for the rest of the team, i'm kinda in two minds. If i'm honest i'd probably want to go with this:

Reina
Johnson Skrtel Agger Downing

Allen Henderson

Gerrard Suso Suarez

Sturridge.

The front 4 can interchange, i think Allen and Henderson would work in terms of energy and closing down and I think that Johnson and Downing would have space to run into from the fullback positions.

We have to get out of the traps and put in not just a solid first half, but a really dominating one. The game last sunday is done now, the onyl thing the team can do is put in performances to make us forget about the first half of last week. There has to be agression and tempo to our play from the off.

That I like. Norwich at home is that right kind of game to try something like this. Suarez was born to be in the role behind the striker, linking the midfield with the forward line.

with the front three intercnanging, lucas dropping into defence as Johnson and lesserly Widdom pushing up wide/inside

When Lucas gets back to his best think of the spine we will have in the team - Reina, Agger, Skrtel, Lucas, Gerrard, Suarez, Sturridge. That's pretty fucking strong.

Really like that team and goes with bib theory though I don't know if BR would leave out Lucas? Henderson HAS to play and I'd maybe have Downing in over Sterling who desperately needs a rest/benched imo. Dunno if Borini is fit enough to start, but I'm so excited to see him, Suarez and Sturridge play together. Think if we really get at them from the whistle it could be a great game but if we start slowly and its 0-0 at HT think we might struggle.

Now this will be my first ever league match at Anfield and it could be postponed too. Fuck my luck.

How could you?! The Canary Mascot terrified me, just kidding. Nice match preview.

Although he has a lack of game time, I'd start Sturridge as this is a perfect time to add to his current tally.

The 1989 Brit Awards · « **Reply #151 on:** January 17, 2013, 06:59:02 pm »

What I want to see:

Reina
Johnson Skrtel Agger Robinson

Allen Henderson
Gerrard

Suarez/Sturridge/Borini Suarez/Sturridge/Borini Suarez/Sturridge/Borini

What I expect to see:

Reina
Wisdom Skrtel Agger Johnson

Lucas
Gerrard Allen

Sturridge/Sterling/Downing Suarez/Sturridge Sterling/Sturridge/Downing

I'd say it's one of those games where, without falling in gross over-confidence (and doing a Villa or Stoke again) we could see what Robinson is about, have him competing with Wisdom to see who's the better youngster

Lucas is fine to be honest, but he just needs a bit more fitness (maybe throw him at Min 60 IF we are 2-0 winning), Sterling needs a rest and that's there for all to see (and if he really plays, may as well use his fresh legs against tired defences that won't mark him so hard and dispossess him so easily as it has been for a couple of games). I really want to see Borini, I see a lot of potential in the '3 strikers' combination and want to see them gel as quickly as possible and interchange as demonstrated on my preferred formation (i'm aware however that he can't be fit, but if he already played at manU, he can do some 50 min or so and then sub him for Downing or Sterling....then again it's a risk and he could get injured again....).....

The forecast has gone from 15cm of snow on Friday night, to 5-10cm. Hope it goes ahead. Would hate to wait so long before a game again after a United defeat.

Thog · « **Reply #153 on:** January 17, 2013, 07:32:56 pm »

Lucas and Allen have not been up to it recently due to fatigue and they need a big rest. Excited to see Suarez play in that no.10 role if it happens because I think it will suit him, aswell as the team, far better than in that false 9 position. It will be just the same as before really as he was roaming but for once there will be someone ahead of him when he gets into that pocket of space between midfield and defence and turns on the ball. Would also like to see Suarez start wide left on occasion. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sturridge play wider in home games, it's something Rodgers alluded to, because he said he would be key in that central position more for away games where we can utilise his pace on the counter attack or against high defensive lines. Also, I can't see Borini starting considering his reluctance to start Sturridge in the two games he's been available, and he hasn't been out for anywhere near as long as Borini. And for me, Downing should start in this, it's the big games like Everton and Man Utd he finds himself overawed by the occasion and scared of every challenges.

Kallekop · « **Reply #154 on:** January 17, 2013, 07:40:44 pm »

my team vs norwich

Reina

Wisdom Skrtel Agger Johnson

Lucas Hendo

Gerrard

Downing Sturridge Suarez

1. i think sterling needs a rest he plays nearly ervery match and we must remember he s only 18
2. play downing on the right wing because he shows a lot of good performens in the recent week
3. bring borini as a sub i think its to early to play him from the start
4. hendo deserved a place in the starting 11
5. personally i would like to see shelvey gets a few minutes but i dont think there is any chance

but the most important think is that we get the 3 poinst whoever plays !!!!

ScottyBoy_21 · « **Reply #155 on:** January 17, 2013, 07:47:04 pm »

Suarez - Sturridge - Borini
Henderson
Lucas - Gerrard
Robinson - Agger - Skrtel - Johnson
Reina

I want to see Suarez, Sturridge and Borini interchanging.

Henderson at the tip of the midfield 3 to press from high up the pitch and force Norwich into mistakes or hoofing the ball to our defenders. Allen to come on at around 70 minutes.

Robinson played well against Mansfield and looked comfortable going forward, so I'd start him and let Johnson play where he's most effective.

Reckon we'll win this one. Sturridge to make it 3 in 3.
