Thanks for starting FT. A lot is up in the air for this. I expect Vida to start unfortunately. Not sure who will start next to him but whomever it is they will have to work overtime. Will need a strong bench too. I suspect both Ando and Nani to be there and maybe Giggs too. I suppose even though he cannot go 90 at this stage, it might be prudent to start Nani. One thing is for certain, we cannot start with the wonder twins on the wings.
------------DdG Rafael---Rio--Vidić--Evra -- -- ----Carrick----- ---Cleverley----- ---- ----------Kagawa------ Young----------<<<Welbeck -------------MvP what i would like to see. Gerrard and Johnson should leave some space on the right side for Kagawa and Young to do some work and Škrtel would be the covering CB rather than Agger so maybe some joy there. the rest is more or less standard. not a fan of Valencia's play lately but i don't think Welbeck will get game time but maybe he could move inwards and switch when van Persie drops deep and Kagawa can take it out wide. i dunno. he doesn't seem to enjoy the wide role that much although he can offer something there. i suspect Fletcher or Jones will start in midfield though. maybe Smalling for Rafael. anyway as long as we win i will be glad. been a while since we doubled them. goalscorers? Carrick and Rio still overdue but i guess i will go for Kagawa for the 2nd and van Persie for the 1st? 2-0?
Expecting Rooney to start tbh. If he doesn't that Chicharito will probably and we'll see a 4-4-2. Which wingers start will be the debateable decision.
Remember - Scousers are the Enemy... ...and while your at it: Remember ALL of Anfield singing Munich songs Remember the Kop doing aeroplanes Remember the Munich 58 banner on the Kop Remember scousers slashing straight members and scaffers home AND away Remember Main Road 85 & what was at stake Remember that we stopped them doing the "Impossible" Treble Remember ALL those flags mocking Munich at Heysel in '85 Remember 39 dead Italians and how they tried to blame everyone but themselves Remember the bastards throwing CS Gas at our players at Anfield Remember that utter UTTER ******** Kenney Dalglish Remember Anfield 1992 & how you felt after Rush scored Remember 3-3 in 1994 & how it felt like a defeat Remember the ******** spitting on Eric as he went to lift The FA Cup Remember Robbie Fowler and his four (now five) finger salute every time he scores against us Remember that giant FC Bayern München flag at Anfield in 1999 Remember Paul Ince (and all of Anfield) thinking he had denied us the Title Remember losing Five on the trot against them 2000-2002 Remember The BBC hailing the plastic treble as some sort of achievement Remember them breaking the silence in honour of Georgie Best Remember rick parry bleating on about the NY honours and Paisley & all that other shite, the ********ing wanker! Remember scousers complaining on 5Live that Sir Matt only got knighted because he survived the disaster Remember Smiths ambulance & cups of shit at anfield Remember the Shipman graffitti and smashed toilet facilities at OT '06. Remember how you felt on the 25th of may 2005. Remember that utter utter ******** luis suarez ( racist bastard) Remember all the reasons we hate the scousers so much. And never, NEVER forget that Liverpool are the Enemy
Not sure why anyone is thinking Evans won't start. He's our leader at the back now. It will be Rio-Evans unless Sir Alex goes all 2008 on us and put Rio-Vidic there.
As usual, this (along with their home game) will be Liverpool's biggest game of the season. Beating us is all those sad bastards have left. Let's pile on the misery, but more importantly, let's get the the 3pts to stretch away from our real rivals.
