Sunderland vs LIVERPOOL FC - EPL - Sept 15 [R]

------Vs------

Sunderland vs Liverpool FC. 15 September. Matchday 4

So here we go again building on our one point advantage over Mighty Southampton and hoping that QPR don't score 2 goals more than us......

I thought I'd start this thread early. All the other threads are jammed up with the pissing, moaning, finger pointing, mean spirited sarcasm, everybody hates us, juvenile in fighting and name calling of a high school league.

Time for a fresh match with fresh spirit and ideas. A place for you to select the team. Copies of such will be sent to BR for his final input. He does appreciate the help in this though.

Predictions welcome

Don't worry! This one will have all that, too, by page 3.

Excellent prediction! The amount of course depends if we win or lose.

I think we will win this one. 2-1.

Borini and Suarez with the goals.

In. Hoping BR puts on of the kids on the bench instead of three defenders.

What if we have three kid defenders on the bench?

We play like shit, Each and every one of you know the club is sinking. Our poisonous owners, clueless manager and heartless players.
End of LFC.

It was good while it lasted.

Team sheet won't come until the internationals are over.

MON and the Stadium of Fright crowd won't make this easy. Hopefully we leave the beach ball home.

But why not start a run of good results?

I remember a time when the Sunderland vs Liverpool 2012 thread was good.

Reina

Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique

Shelvey Allen Sahin

Gerrard Suarez Sterling

Bench: Jones, Kelly, Coates, Henderson, Downing, Borini, Morgan

Borini in for Sterling and it's perfect.

Gonna be interesting. The change of pace when possession changes from one team to the next is going to be extreme. Full backs and CB's need to be smart for this one.

I can see us controlling the game. If we can manage their counterattack, we have a good chance of winning. I say foul as soon as possession is lost (unless it's lost right outside our own box). Make them take freekicks from their own half and slow the transition from their defense to their attack.

And I remember second division and this guy Shankley coming in.

Just sayin'

Eh? Who's that now? Are you sure you're not imagining things old man? Please don't hit me.

Show off.

Reina

Gleninho, Skrtl, Swagger, Enrique

JjS, ALLEN, Sahin

Stevie G, Suarez, Sterling

Jones, Bornini, Assaidi, Kelly, Stewie, Coates, Henderson

God dammit you kids get off my lawn

All i know is that Shelvey (if fit) has to start this game.

that's the line up I'd like to see.

Don't know who Shankley was, try google. From days before the interweb and virtual Saawker..!

But.. but.. if he existed before Google... how can we be sure that he ever really existed???

International break sucks.

I'm liking it right now. Gives us all the opportunity to settle down after the Arsenal match.
