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.

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

I expect us to field the same team we did against Wigan. RvP to score a hattrick.

NM's post is way over the top.

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.

Kagawa should start.

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.

A simple "I hate Liverpool" would've sufficed.

I see it as a valid insight into NM's psyche.
Glory glory Man.Utd.

nahhh

I hope De Gea doesn't cost us here ...

Just win United. Just win.

4-3 Utd. Suarez to get the perfect hat-trick - header, left hand, right hand.

for real tho, that chicarito nonsense gotta go.

Chicorita?
