Sounds good to me. We need to play the 2 strikers if we want to try and win the game, and we must break our away duck sooner or later... may as well be this week!

[therealronaldo7]

Do Liverpool fans look at this game as a difficult one or do you see Fulham as any easy three-pointer? Being the Fulham fan that I am, I think this is gonna be a tough game for Fulham. The team has not created a lot of offense of late and has not defended all that well. That combination of those two things is not good for any team. We will see.

[TruReds]

Is this line-up plausible? 4-3-1-2 more attacking formation hopefully to finally break the away duck. Also Warnock has been more impressive than Kewell lately, and can track back to defend in case of JAR gets to the more attacking position. I think we should play him ahead of Kewell, sub Harry at HT. Henchoz ahead of Traore for his experience if fit. FSP can come in late in the game for Garcia, three-prong attack; or any one of the strikers getting tired.

Go Go Reds!!! YNWA!!!

[liverbird]

Everyone may see Warnock as Harry went out at the half of the OZ-Solomon Islands game with an ankle knock. Alonso, Cisse, and baros should be well rested since they didn't get on the pitch for their respective countries.

Well, I see this game as a must win situation!Not saying its an easy 3 pointer,but i think the time has come to step up a gear and improve our form,specially knowing that this month we have 2 very important matches for the champions league against Deportivo,a very strong and respected team in europe.Sadly,with the loss we sufered against olymp...,its a must need 4 pointer ,otherwise i see it very dificult qualifying for the next phase.

but no need worrying about the future,the present is Fulham and wish Liverpool all the best

LIVERPOOL ALWAYS!

[youllneverwalkalone]

I agree, I think we can and should win this game. I certainly do not think it will be easy, but I think if we can play at Craven cottage like we have been at Anfield this year, then we can most definitely come away with three points.

UP THE REDS!

[ULL NEVER WALK ALONE]

look guys,was the checking the Fulham supporters forum of the liverpool-fulham match,and look what one of them said

Liverpool isn't the dominant team they once were, i would almost consider them at hte same level Fulham are right now. Its a game that a win is a reasonable expectation as opposed to a game against arsenal or chelsea etc.

Can u belive this guy,i mean,what the ******** is he talkin about????.they were also talking about just missing the champions league spot to liverpool.this guy is crazy!!!

[SirManchester]

They're showing the game on FSW on sunday BUT I HAVE WORK! ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT FAIR! GO LIVERPOOL!

[timberley11]

Dont care who plays, I just want to see us get 3 bloody points away from home

I hope you do not think that this one person's opinion is what every Fulham fan thinks. In fact, I think it is the opposite. I look at this game as one in which Fulham have their hands full. It is gonna be tough to get a win or even a draw against Liverpool. Liverpool is the better team. I hope Fulham can upset them, but I am not counting on it. As for European places and such, the Whites have a long way to go to even think about a European place. I hope it does not happen, but the way things are going, the team will be closer to relegation than a European spot. Good luck tomorrow!

[youllneverwalkalone]

I don't think anyone thinks that is how all Fulham fans feel about the match tomorrow. Like 655321 said, "home of the delusional" And there are the select few who act like that on everyboard. With all that aside though, I think it will be a fair match all around tomorrow, hopefully a good contest

Good. I just wanted everyone to make sure that most Fulham fans on the board respect Liverpool and think they are a good side.

Its reported that Finnan has a stomach problem --- perhaps to much Guiness?
He's questionable as is Harry.

[AwayKit]

Certainly a game we can win (No offense to the Fulham fans on this thread). I just hope we play well and don't let the pressure of breaking our away form affect us negatively.

[SuperElf]

Its reported that Finnan has a stomach problem --- perhaps to much Guiness?
He's questionable as is Harry.Frankly, I think Warnock on the left for this one will be a net plus. No offense to Harry.

I don't think RB starts Cisse, Baros, and Garcia because we have to play in the CL on two days' rest. Having Garcia running around in that hybrid withdrawn forward/winger role could be devastating, but he can't play two of them for 90 minutes and the other one for 60.

Basically, I can sum up my preferences for selection by saying I'll be fine with whatever 11 RB puts out there, as long as it DOESN'T INCLUDE DIAO. I have a nasty feeling about this one, (with the Depor match coming up) and it will probably result in me crushing an aluminum can on my forehead come tomorrow morning.

I was at this fixture last year, so I remember it clear as crystal. We got a header from Heskey early and penalty from Spuds at the death to steal the points, so that's not going to help us any. FSP did come on at the hour mark and ran circles round their defense. Maybe Garcia will be able to do the same?
