Venue : Pride Park -
Paul Jewell's most difficult match since he tookover at Derby .
He'll find nothing inside the box , cos we're not giving him anything this X'mas .
Or he'll find 3 eggs inside the box , representing 3-0 my prediction ! -
Ironically , Derby leading 2-1 at St James' Park , Newcastle really suxs man ..... Derby is not really tat good as the result might suggest .

hard to say... usually team at the bottom is very desperate n need win badly. they will try to avoid lost at all cost.Originally posted by Poolman:Ironically , Derby leading 2-1 at St James' Park , Newcastle really suxs man ..... Derby is not really tat good as the result might suggest . -
pool win by 2 goals
-
Heard from reports , Benitez tinkering with the team again , for this match .
Players like Mascherano ... Gerrard .... Hyypia could be givena break .
Replace by Momo , Alonso and some young guns .
Crouch defintely will start , at the expense of Torres .
Kuyt & Crouch to start .
Maybe those playing against Portsmouth will be different against Derby .
Only Benitez will know . -
Derby (from):
Bywater, Mears, Moore, McEveley, Leacuck, Barnes, Edworthy, Oakley, Pearson, Lewis, Fagan, Howard, Miller, Teale, Earnshaw, Feilhaber, Holmes, Price.
Derby defenders Claude Davis (knee), Andy Griffin (calf) and Andy Todd (back) are all out, while midfielder David Jones is sidelined with a groin strain.
Captain Matt Oakley is again doubtful with a thigh injury after missing Sunday's 2-2 draw at Newcastle where goalkeeper Stephen Bywater and defender Darren Moore picked up shoulder and back problems, although both should be fit to face the Reds.
Liverpool (from): Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Hobbs, Hyypia, Riise, Aurelio, Benayoun, Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano, Kewell, Babel, Lucas, Sissoko, Crouch, Kuyt, Torres, Voronin, Itandje.
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez is likely to shuffle his side for the trip to bottom club Derby on Boxing Day with a tough away trip to fourth-placed Manchester City on the horizon next Sunday.
Benitez has already made 223 alterations to his sides this season, on a match-to-match basis, and used 77 substitutions, making it a remarkable 300 changes in player personal in 28 matches so far.
And there will be more of the same at Pride Park, with Ryan Babel, Andriy Voronin, Fabio Aurelio and Lucas all in the running for a starting berth. Youngster Jack Hobbs could also get another run-out in defence while Xabi Alonso could also continue his comeback from injury. -
0-4 i say.
-
Liverpool likes to be kind to weaker teams...
Let's hope the kindness is gone and we trashed Derby 0-5.
-
The line up in full is: Reina, Finnan, Aurelio, Carragher, Hyypia, Gerrard, Alonso, Babel, Riise, Voronin, Torres. Subs: Itandje, Benayoun, Lucas, Kuyt, Mascherano.
nice to see alonso back and momo not making to the subs even.
finnan also gets a start for awhile
-
i sense bad news for pool though
derby is running now, and liverpool MIGHT have the complacency -
if torres score hat-trick today, he will be top scorer.
