Liverpool Build Up Thread

My only success in 7 visits to Anfield. Under the cosh virtually all game and then we score right in front of our support - cue delirious celebrations!!

 

Think we'll need more than 1 goal to get anything from todays game. Actually have more faith in our ability to score 2 than for our defence to only let in 1 !!

 

Risking life and limb by going into The Dubai Reds pub to watch the game.

We are Dubai Saints, we do what we want!!

Strangely I found a very wet & soggy Nun in the desert late yesterday afternoon

 

I did take a foto, but as my camera has not yet dried out I haven't been able to down load it. So now concerned about our ability to score today

 

Only one of our group from Yesterday left in ICU (phew) but the remaining 4 team members are fit and ready to go.

Looking forward to this immensely. Feeling a bit delicate after a few beers. Could all go pear-shaped, of course, but this Liverpool team isn't nearly as impressive as sides that have gone before.

 

A good chance of getting something out of this, I reckon.

Need to change it up. Players looked leggy on Weds night.... feel we need to employ a different strategy as well so would possibly start with Rodriguez and Mayuka to give us real pace on the counter. Lets face it - we wont have the lions share of possession so we need to play differently....

I dont know if this is Adkins first competitive game at Anfield, but Im sure it means at lot too him. Good luck Nige and enjoy your day.

 

First competitive game at Anfield for most of our players and staff I expect. Wonder if it might not have been on their minds on Wednesday. I know they're all professionals and all that but Anfield is a temple of football, wish I was going today, I love Anfield, must have been therer 6 or 7 times, one of my favourite grounds, unfortunately I can't get time off when I want.

I agree, but the manager won't. He knows his first choice 11 and even his preferred subs and when to bring them on and for who. Like you, I would start with Rodriguez and I'd bring Mayuka on with 30 to go. But it won't happen, will it? Anyway, the team will have my support, whoever is on the field.

Liverpool will hit form today. Fonte will give away a penalty and get sent off. Ramirez will go off injured and Gazza will be a flapper.

4 v 0 to scousers.

 

And there was me getting excited about it being live on TV here. Don't think I'll bother watching now. Thanks for letting me know what will happen beforehand.

Well if you're free now could you be a star and package me up a Belarussian hottie? If there's any with latino/berber complexion (unlikely, but former Soviet states do have a smorgasbord of cultures) that'd be great, but if not, I'll take your regular slim blonde. ;)

Interesting comparison between Fonte and Agger. If you only did your scouting based on this comparison, you'd choose Fonte every time.

 

I too found that comparison tool interesting. The Morgan Vs Gerrard one makes interesting stats... posted here so others don't have to (or maybe can't) visit the site:

Although playing slightly different midfield positions its interesting to see how MS compares to a player he regards as one of the best in the world. I think I read somewhere that Gerrard has been playing a bit deeper this season which may be because his legs aren't what they were. He seems to still be getting plenty of crosses in so must still be bombing on.

 

As for the game, I've read a few LFC forums this morning and they see this as a MUST WIN game. A few giving us some praise and saying it won't be easy. Some even predicting a draw! TBH I feel about the same, its a game we ought to lose comfortably but Saints have shown enough belief to have little regard for this and could surprise them. However, I'd be over the moon with a point up there.
