EPL Midweek : Liverpool vs Portsmouth
-
vs
Date : 30th November 2006
Day / Time : Thurday morning 3.45am
Venue : Anfield .
Live : To be confirmed . -
Harry Redknapp is fretting over his Portsmouth team to face Liverpool after picking up more injuries in the defeat to Newcastle United.
Pompey lost Dejan Stefanovic at half time and the experienced defender is due to undergo a knee operation on Monday.
His replacement - Matthew Taylor - then picked up a leg injury during the second half of the 1-0 loss at St James' Park.
Taylor is not expected to feature at Anfield on Wednesday and Redknapp is facing a dilemma over who to select at left back.
"We have injury problems," conceded Redknapp.
"I don't know what we are going to do for Liverpool. It's a big worry."
Antoine Sibierski's goal secured Newcastle the points, but Redknapp felt Pompey's performance merited a draw.
He added: 'It was frustrating. We've come to be positive and I thought we would get a point.
"We matched them all the way through the game.
"But look at their squad - if you had said at the start of the season they would be sitting where they are with their squad and we would be sitting fourth with our squad, you would have thought you were off your head.
"But there is a long way to go." -

Good time to meet Pompey , can bully them a bit due to their injuries to some regulars .
Not easy though , it could be more difficult if their usual regulars is in .
Anyway , i'm not taking anything for granted , a modest 1-0 will do . -

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez :
"I don't know whether our away form is becoming a psychological problem, we will see on Saturday.
"First we have to play Portsmouth and, if we can beat them, that will give us more confidence.
"I will wait to see how Craig Bellamy is during the week with the trial but involving him against Portsmouth on Wednesday will be difficult."
Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp:
"I have not got a left-back on the books. We need to be at full strength to do OK and if we lose three or four players, we are in real trouble.
"We lost Glen Johnson who was also very important to us, and you really need your full squad to be fully effective.
"We have a hard game at Liverpool coming up but we will keep on going." -
Zenden injured. So Carra gonna be put in midfield.

Pool to win

Now 82nd minutes , still no sound no picture , 0-0 .Originally posted by a-Lost-9uY:Pool to win
No live , but i can imagine a boring game .
If we can't beat an injury prone squad of Pompey , we are no worthy of being a Chmapionship contender .
Next season please !!!
A bit of frustration , but what can we do ? .....
The only thing we hope for ..... Liverpool to continue the European joruney til next May , of 2007 , like 2005 !
At least we have something to cheer for . Until now , we have been very bad . -
On the 60th minutes , Crouch were taken out , in Robbie Fowler ! This is a ok move by Benitez .
But on the 71st , Garcia were taken out , replaced by Nabil El Zhar ... bizarrae , we haven't won anything just yet from this match to even try out an untested youth .
On the 84th minute mark , even more bizarre , Pennant were taken out , for guess who ? Danny Guthrie , another of the youth recruit .
Maybe Benitez will say , we need some muscle in the middle , when Alonso , Sissoko and Zenden was absent , but ......
I start to miss Hamann ....

Full Time : 0-0 .
