UCL : Liverpool vs Olympique Marseille
-
Date : 4th Oct 2007 ( Wednesday )
Venue : Our Fortress Anfield
Kick-off : 2.30am
Live on Ch-23 / Ch-24 ( not confirm ) -
Let's welcome D.Cisse with our open arms .....
Not sure if Zenden coming , heard he injured .
A must win for us after a disappointing first UCL match against Porto .
Those who think Toress will start this match , i don't think Rafa will risk Torres for this match , maybe a late subs , mayne , definitely not the first team .
I expect Voronin and Kuyt to start ahead of Crouch and Torres , cos Marseille is not that strong , we are not desperate .
I predict 3-0 ..... -
What will u do .... if u have a BPL match against Tottenham at home , 4 days after this match ?
-
Scrappy 1-0 win.
Boring match as Ah Ben would opt for a safety first tactic.
4-5-1 formation for the match.
Ah Ben is never bothered by any EPL match after that.
Manager and Players more keen for CL silverware. -
usually when we expect pool to win, they screw up wif a draw.
so keep the finger cross n pray for a win for pool!

Marseille currently struggling in the French League, i think their at 17th spot? With only one win in 9 matches.
Therefore i say its gonna be an easy win for pool. -
In fact , i saw them played against Lens ? CH-107 .... what the hack , Marseille's Cisse is their best player , he commanded the play for Marseille , like a coach on the pitch , screw his team mates regularly ..... like an Indian Chief .Originally posted by omgukilledkenny:Marseille currently struggling in the French League, i think their at 17th spot?

Rafa to stick with hot-shot Benayoun
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez is expected to hand goalscoring midfielder Yossi Benayoun the chance to shoot down Marseille in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Summer signing Benayoun has struck fine efforts in his side's last two matches, including Saturday's late winner at Wigan.
But he has been very much part of Benitez's rotation policy this term and has started only four matches as Liverpool have remained unbeaten in all competitions.
But with Jermaine Pennant suspended, Benayoun is expected to get the nod over Dutch youngster Ryan Babel to provide the firepower from the flanks against Marseille in a Group A clash at Anfield.
Benitez said: 'Benayoun has quality and he can change games for us, he has proved that already. I will decide between him and Babel for this match.
'But Yossi has shown how important it is to be able to bring on players with quality, and fresh legs, to win matches.
'I have the option of Benayoun or Babel on the wing. One will play now Pennant is suspended.'
After Liverpool's fortunate 1-1 draw in their opening match in Porto, Benitez wants to see a vastly improved display this time around.
He said: 'It is important to win your home games in this competition, and in particular for us after drawing our first game.
'We know Marseille's players, their qualities and we expect our former players Djibril Cisse and Bolo Zenden to do well, but we are concerned that, although we have watched the videos of them, a new manager may well change things.'
Erik Gerets, who won and lost group matches against Liverpool in the Champions League as Galatasaray boss last season, will be in charge of Marseille for the first time on Wednesday.
Benitez said: 'Marseille have had 10 days to prepare for this, and although they have not been doing well in their league, we know they will see this game as one that is vital to them particularly because they have already got one win in the group.
'A new manager makes it more difficult. You do not know what he will do.
'We knew him from Galatasaray, but it is difficult for us to know how he will alter things.
'So we must concentrate on our own game and getting that right rather than worrying about what effect the new manager will have on Marseille.' -
