Liverpool v PSV - Pre Match
«
on:
September 27, 2008, 11:09:37 PM »
Well with the win over Everton fresh in our memory, it's time to move on and next on our list is our first home match in the Champions League group stage against PSV. Now our form in this year's European Cup hasn't had us overly chuffed in terms of performances but we're still picking up results.
I wouldn't risk anyone who isn't 100% because I don't see PSV coming to attack to be honest. No need for players to pick silly niggles in a match that shouldn't cause us too many problems. I'm thinking mainly of Mascherano here. Masch's been struggling the last few weeks, no need for him to be rushed back for this when he won't be overly worked.
With Gerrard and Torres showing some sort of form recently and Robbie Keane improving with each game, I think going forward we have no problems. Our defence has always been sound. Out wide isn't looking like such a problem with Reira out there as it was with Benayoun. Hopefully we'll see the wide areas improve again before the next international break.
European nights are always good at Anfield, this won't be any different. We can give a message to the rest of the teams in it by giving PSV a real stuffing.
Come on Reds!!!!!

We could get off to a right good start with a win here, I can't see us scoring many though
get Babel up with Torres for this one I say and have Pennant and Reira on the wings. If we see no results then Keane as a super sub
I'd be happy with 2-0.

Reina
Skrtel Agger
Arbeloa Aurelio
Xabi Alonso
Pennant Gerrard Riera
Babel Torres
Subs: Cavalieri, Dossena, Hyypia, Carragher, Mascherano, Kuyt, Keane.
^^ I agree with AJ, although I think Carragher needs to rest as he's not getting any younger. This will be a fun game. 4-0, anyone?

I just think that because of how well Agger played the other night and the fact he is desperate to play will convince Rafa to play him against PSV and we all know it won't be Carra that gets dropped so it will more than likely be Skrtel . Although it could be Arbeloa but I doubt it because that would mean Carra at right back.

-----------------------------Pepe------------------------------
Arboloa--------Skrtel-------------Agger-----------Aurelio
Pennant------Gerrard-----------Lucas-----------Babel
------------------Torres------------Keane-----------------
I would really let Alonso (who most likely got a knock from Cahill) and Javi rest up with a huge game away to City on the weekend and I would really consider utilizing our depth in the CB position to give Carra a full week rest for the City game. I think a line-up like this should see us get the result we want, especially at home.

Lets continue with the good start we had at Marseille and go for a good win over P.S.V.If we can take 3 points from each of our first 4 games in Europe it will take any pressure off and we can concentrate on the league.I feel we will be to good for P.S.V. and look forward to Keane breaking his duck and Stevie getting his 100 goal and Torres to finish them off.Some team has got to get a hiding at Anfield and it might as well be P.S.V. so here goes 4nil to the mighty REDS.

PSV dont seem to be a huge attacking threat.
-------------------Reina--------------------
Arbeloa---Carragher--Agger--Aurelio
Babel------Gerrard-----Alonso------Riera
---------------Torres---Keane----------------
Although I want Pennant to play babel needs to start more, we dont give him nearly enough time on the pitch in my opinion. Dont need Masch for this, Alonso was fantastic yesterday dont think he should be dropped. Aurelio and Agger should both play in my opinion, looked good when they have played and the best going forward in their respective positions. Torres and Keane both play again, they looked good together yesterday so why break it up now would just be taking a step back in my opinion.
Pennant, Skrtel, Dossena, N'Gog etc on the bench.

I hope the relationship between keano and torres works aginst PSV as well. And torres is hungry for more goals!
In the centre we should start with gerrard and alonso ( lil cisse says that before;-) )
Hope we go on to a good 3:0 victory;).

Kuyt will play IMO as he has experience of PSV from dutch leagues and TBH he has been getting better every game. I think lil ciise has it spot on, but kuyt will be on the RW and Pennant will come on at 72minutes

Yeah I agree, Kuyt is more likely to start. Im happy with him starting but I would be happier with Babel starting I think, he looks good this season and has played a big part in three of our wins already. He looks more confident and assured this season. Im hoping he will get to start but I also want to see Riera start again and Keane and Torres continue their partnership upfront in this game.
I dont want to underestimate PSV but we have experience playing them and I think we have what we need to beat them.

I'm feeling very, very confident after the Everton game!!
I reckon this time Keane will definitely get on the scoresheet, he played well against Everton, and I'm confident he'll score!! I can also see Kuyt get on the scoresheet, if he plays!

PSV are packing it. Saw an interview with one of them today saying Liverpool are a massive club etc etc and that they would be thrilled to get something out of it. Says alot really.
Reina
Arbeloa Skrtel Agger Dossena
Babel Gerrard Lucas Riera
Torres Keane
Cavalieri Carragher Alonso Benayoun Kuyt Aurellio N'Gog
I put Lucas in because I'm not sure how Xabi pulled up. If he's ok then play him in for Lucas. I cant see Kuyt not starting but thats the side I'd go for.
If Kuyt is going to play because of his experience in Holland, surely Babel must too?

I don't see why people would mess around with the centre halves. We are a long way from guarenteed a place in the knock out stages, we've got to take this game seriously just in case PSV do get the odd attack and every side gets at least one chance per game.
I'm one of Agger's biggest fans and really want too see him in the side but not on Wednesday night. Once we've qualified from this group then you can start switiching and changing but lets get there first. If we were to lose and it's a fault of Agger can you imagination the press reports the following night. Laying all blame on Benitez for rotation again. We don't need that. Dan Agger will just have to wait for an injury or suspension and then take his chance with both hands as well as continue to impress in the Carling Cup.
For me it's got to be our best eleven for Wednesday and take another three points.

Will be in the Cabbage beforehand mate.
I never take any European game for granted - in fact I wouldn't be surprised if this one is more tricky. I can see them sitting back and letting us ask all the questions. Something we've found pretty hard lately apart from playing the mancs and the bitters.
It's a great sign to have Torres with his scoring boots on again though. His confidence in his ability will have swollen after the derby, so sitting back against us might not mean they'll keep a clean sheet.
Get stuck into them from the off and try get an early goal. If we can do that, I think we'll have the game won well before the final whistle.
Plus I'm willing to beilieve that Bpatel is right about Keane. This will be the game!!

I think we have to continue with the torres keane partnership. the goals will eventually come for robbie, and it's important that they are both given the time to work on their partnership. I would like to give babel a shot on the right wing, as dirk is sure to start against man shity so be best to give him a rest for this one. probably have masch in for xabi if he does have a knock after saturday.

One of the hottest European prospects is to be unleashed onto Liverpool when they play PSV Eindhoven in their Champions League clash on Wednesday.
The player in question is Ibrahim Afellay, a Dutchman of Moroccan descent who has been with the Dutch champions for the past five seasons.
The young attacking midfielder is considered to be one of the finest of his generation and has already received praise from some of the most well respected people in the game.
Arsenal have been known admirers of the 22-year-old for the last couple of years, and PSV claim that the Gunners sent a scout to watch Afellay play 15 times last season.
Ronald Koeman, the former Dutch centre back, commented, “Ibrahim has certain things in his style that can be compared to Johan Cruyff's game.
“He can speed up with the ball, he can whizz past players as if they are puppets. He has qualities as an attacker which we hardly see these days in football.”
Manchester City were close to signing him on transfer deadline day, but the young Dutchman preferred to stay at PSV as he did not want to rush into a move abroad.
He has a £12m buy-out clause in his contract, and City have said they are willing to out bid anyone to secure his signature.
The first to spot Afellay’s talents outside Holland was Arsene Wenger, who was more than impressed with the impact Afellay made when coming on against Arsenal as a substitute 17 months ago.
The Arsenal boss has been an admirer ever since, and has been monitoring the 22-year-old’s situation carefully.
Liverpool will face a tough test when they come up against him on Wednesday, and it will be up to the player to see if he can triumph over the likes of Jamie Carragher and Martin Skrtel.
All I'll say is that he'd better hope Masch is still injured.

He's a lad I'd try and buy for our side to be honest. He is a sensational talent, I saw him play against Rotterdam the other week and he is phenomenal. I always try and watch PSV when I can to watch him. I think he could be thorn in our defence but they dont really have anyone else who could hurt us.
We get alot of PSV here in Aus due to Jason Culina playing for them and no one strikes me to hurt us other than Culin himself who can pop up with the occasional goal and of course Affelay.
Whoever plays at fullback will have a handful. Maybe put Carra out there on the right? I totally forgot about Affelay for some reason.
