Fucking hell Sky have used three different puns on Suarez/bite in the first segment alone. Is there no end to this hilarity?!

Titi Camara · « **Reply #1001 on:** September 25, 2013, 07:15:11 pm »

Anyone else getting the feeling Suarez might sneak a very cheeky early goal!

Worried that we don't have a midfielder on the bench. Clearly the weak point in our squad.

It is a weak point, but we do have Henderson on the field, so as long as we don't lose two midfielders, we'll be okay. If there's any need to sub Lucas or Gerrard, he'll move inside, and Sterling or Ibe will probably take his place

Hopefully Suarez provides us with the incisors to win

and the league's top scorers only at 4 goals

Only 4 goals? We're 5 games into the season and 3 players have 4 goals already, with another 4 players on 3 goals each. That's a lot of players having a pretty prolific start.

And in an emergency Toure could move in there too I'm sure.

Luis Alberto says hi. We can also move Henderson central and bring on one of the wingers/attackers. Sakho and Toure can also play a DM role, although that is not an ideal scenario.

Really do hate Mark Clattenburg with his fucking fake hair. Unless we boss them throughout the whole pitch, it's gonna be a long night

Hopefully that'll be Sterling taking over for him as the right wing back

Too attacking position for that him. He will make right-back his own.

Does anyone have doubts about how much Suarez will try tonight, or in general this season?

I'm confident he'll give 100%, but I'll be keeping a close eye on him tonight, especially off the ball.

I have no doubts at all, if anything I think he'll try too hard.

strong team that,,just knocked back some jamensons to calm the nerves ,,kids to bed in a minute,,,,couple of stellas,,,do us proud lads...

Mighty_Red · « **Reply #1015 on:** September 25, 2013, 07:20:55 pm »

Welcome back Luis, all you need to do to begin your rehabilitation is to grab a goal or 3 and get us a win! Hopefully the players will come out with a rocket up their backsides and really go at them

COMON U REDMEN!!!

DonkeyWan · « **Reply #1016 on:** September 25, 2013, 07:21:00 pm »

Bit worried that the backline has zero ball players of Agger or Johnson's ilk. Fear we will see a repeat of Saturday with the team getting bogged down in the middle and falling back deep.

Then again, that's probably a result of injuries more than selection, other than perhaps using one of Aspas/Alberto/Sterling, I'm not really seeing where the team could be changed.

Caffeine · « **Reply #1017 on:** September 25, 2013, 07:21:13 pm »

How are we lining up then? 4-4-2 like Sky suggest? I'm guessing not.

Stuck on campus, I have a meeting just before kick off and if I am lucky it will be over quick so I can dash home, open a beer and find a stream to watch the game.

COME ON LADS! LETS SMASH 'EM UP!

Gods_Left_Boot · « **Reply #1021 on:** September 25, 2013, 07:23:46 pm »

433 I reckon, with Luis and Moses as wide forwards. The only other alternative would be playing 3 at the back with Hendo and Enrique as wingbacks but it does seem really unlikely to me.

Let's have 'em!

Looks like a 4-4-1-1 to me. There's a possibility of a 3-4-1-2 or 3-4-3, but it looks more like a 4-4-1-1 that we've played already.

I hope it's a 3-5-2 though.

Whatever the score, I want us to be aggressive on the front foot and proactive not reactive. And a cheeky tenner on Suarez hattrick to go with it

JackWard33 · « **Reply #1028 on:** September 25, 2013, 07:27:49 pm »

Disappointed we're playing the first team think its reasonably nuts

Nope. With Evans and Smalling as central defenders, it would be been 6 or 7-1

Do you mean it would have been worse? I could certainly see Smalling and Evans getting destroyed by Aguero and Negredo. Giggs v Toure.... oh dear.

DG · « **Reply #1033 on:** September 25, 2013, 07:29:13 pm »

it'll probably be a 4-2-3-1 like every other game this season, with suarez as the nr 10 and henderson on the wing.

Nervous as feck. This could go either way. As long as we compete, make a game of it, I can deal with a loss. The beers in my fridge will take a beating tonight and if my streams pack up, there could be a nice, shiny MacBook Pro lying in the plaza beneath the flat tonight.
