Live-On-Cable CH-24 StarSports
Probable Line-Up : Hopefully a 4-4-2 Formation
Reina
Finnan
Hyypia
Carragher
Traore
Garcia
Gerrard
Alonso
Risse
Cisse
Morientes
No Crouch please ! He badly needs a rest !
No 4-5-1 pleasssse , our 4 men midfield should be anytime stronger than those from Anderlecht .
Liverpool anytime ..... 2-0 !
Scorers : who else ..... Morientes x2
! -
Liverpool should win if they put their chances away...Maybe benitez will decide to make them practice finishing..
-
I'm sure Beni wants 2 win tis 2 hv a peace of mind for the remaining matches.
As for the lineup....maybe Hamann will start i/of Alonso
-
no gerrard ! some 1 else will replace most likely Kewell ?
-
Kewell ? No la , please !!!
Make him work his socks off at the reserve b4 even thinking about the first team .
Some fringe players work their socks off and still don't get into the full squad , so no exception for Kewell . -
2-0 win for Pool.
They seem to excel at Europe while struggling at home. One of the current great mysteries of football.
-
Ah Ben will still play Crouch tonight cos Ah Ben is a stubborn manager.
He does not like to be told that he is wrong.
He say he have the final say whether to play Cisse or not.
Guess Cisse will be the super sub tonight.
As for whether Kewell is playing, he most probably be featured and get injured or red-carded on the way.
So, my prediction for a team that is low in confidence, teamwork, attitude and finishing:
Anderlecht 2 Liverpool 1 -
Just a thought..... Liverpool could do with a bit more flair by playing 4-3-3 with Morientes, Crouch and Cisse in attack. Instead of playing Crouch as pointman, he can hold the ball up and feed to Cisse and Morientes.
Alonso playing a Makelele role in mid-field (sorry to remind you of Chelsea), allowing Gerrard and Garcia to feed the attackers. Risse is an option to provide width.
Your backline will hold up well against Continental European teams. -
Alonso is a strange player.
He is getting same temperament as Gerrard.
If he is bo chap, he is a shadow in the midfield.
If he is on the ball, he spray good passes.
But, he not the standard hard-tackling midfielder.
Guess he is a bit chicken after kana chop by Lam Pard last season. -
Now staying up after work ..... hopefully later still can tahan
Not likely to work as usual next morning ...... maybe start late .
Our line-up predictable , Crouch again ?
-
lets hope we get to see a morientes-cisse combo... dat'd be interesting.... pls sell garcia... of all spaniards, he had to get garcia... beni's saying he needs a right winger... joaquin is a right winger... and he's spanish!! ah well... finnan shall do for now...
-
another 1-0.
liverpool is becoming very predictable!!! -
1-0 away....a wonderful result .
Now we just need a home win to go into the next phase .
Next week agaist Anderlecht again , at home .
And our next three matches , two is at home .
L'pool and Chelsea will go into next phase .
Cisse is back , very soon .... we'll see a better Cisse in the first team .
Benitez in a dilemma now , who to play now ? Crouch ? Nando ? Cisse ? Kewell ? Sinama ?
We shall see !
Watch out Fulham , L'pool is back slowly ! Now 1-0 , next no mistake , will be 2-0 ! Then 3-0 .... then 4-0 .....and so on and on .
Liverpool dynasty starts from today ! -
I very much like to share the same sentence you made BUT I think Liverpool still need time to really rules again.Originally posted by Poolman:Cisse is back , very soon .... we'll see a better Cisse in the first team .

I felt that Liverpool is still not playing as a team. Often I see the tactic of concentrating on ONE player. Sometimes, I felt that the team played better without Gerrard. Why? cause the rest of the players wont pass the ball JUST to him but spread play.
Anyway, now that Cisse begins to score goals..lets hope everyone... including Hyypia scores too. -
he's naively optimistic, but i like it, kekeOriginally posted by X-men:I very much like to share the same sentence you made BUT I think Liverpool still need time to really rules again.

again a goal from set piece..
-
Wat to do...we haven't got luck with the refs for penaltiesOriginally posted by stellazio:again a goal from set piece.. -
Good results....not sure abt the play tho.
Reports said we dominated the 1st half but were lazy in the 2nd
Another win next week agst same opponents shd seal a place in the knockout stage....well done for a team yet to play their best!

Wilhelmsson come to villa!!!!

At the rate that Liverpool is winning CL matches and drawing EPL matches, there is a great chance that Liverpool cannot even make it to the top five.
Did not wake up this morning to watch Liverpool play.
The team have basically still in dreamland over their miracle in Istanbal.
The Dynasty for Liverpool will have to wait for 5 years as the rest of the EPL team are gelling better, even Wigan can beat Newcastle.
We still do not have the tactical cunningness and skilful players to win, not talking about DOMINATE the EPL.
I have to say that Chelsea is just like the perfect team if Lampard and Terry dun get injured.
All the Chelsea players have scored a goal at least.
I have already given up on the bean pole to create a goal.
Nando is better bet.
Ah Ben 0: Liverpool Fan 2
All thanks to Cisse !!!! -
f u c king hate the back page of today's the newpaper saying liverpool yawn or watever
-
It's a bloody simple theory ..... 1-0 up , keep the defense tight and compact , don't concedes any goal , and take three points , which is the most important .Originally posted by Redz:Good results....not sure abt the play tho.
Reports said we dominated the 1st half but were lazy in the 2nd
Another win next week agst same opponents shd seal a place in the knockout stage....well done for a team yet to play their best!
And focus on the next match against Fulham away .
No point going all out , like 5-0 and gone fatigue , and lose 1-0 at Fulham . Keep the resources and go for three points at Fulham .
We are not a Chelsea , whom has a massive squad to rotate . We have to keep our First Team there at that competing level , especially without Gerrard .
No doubt we kept attacking and try getting further goals against Anderlecht , which antidote is the best of defense ? Attacking ie !
I have to defend Benitez and lads this time . We attack for the second goal , the safer route to a confirm victory . That goal never arrive , nevermind .
Pleaase give Alonso , Hamman and Momo some credit for doing a good job at the absence of Gerrard , ironically , we recorded two straight wins without Gerrard . That's how good the team was last night . -
Everyone is open to everyone's opinion , somehow ..... they're right to criticise L'pool when Chelsea easily won 4-1 last night .Originally posted by leon_lai89:f u c king hate the back page of today's the newpaper saying liverpool yawn or watever -
NewPaper said L'pool were making some good crosses last night , yes L'pool did make some good crosses from the flank , but where's Crouch ? When Crouch was playing , we don't see this sort of crosses .
What's in those players' mind ? -
liverpool plays better without gerrard as simple as that..they seem to create more without him...but maybe finishing also poorer without him..
