Pre Match - Crystal Palace v Liverpool. Sun 23rd Nov ko 1.30pm.

However i am hoping / praying that balo starts lighting it up... he really is our only true hope with sturridgr injured yet again

I'm more hopeful of Ebola being eradicated worldwide than Balotelli lighting up the PL. Would love to be proved wrong but I can't see it.

Not sure who will start as no one has played well enough to guarantee a start . What i will say is Lallana must was great midweek and always looking to make things happen

Bit surprised that some people are still picking Balo in their starting line up. I on the other want him to sit on the bench.

Borini to start upfront, if Balo wants his place back, then he has to play for it. Give Balo last twenty minutes of the games until he gets into scoring form.

If he doesn't then play borni or lambert. Simple

Play 2 up front Lambert and Borini...just fuckingtry it for once, please Brendan. I'm sick of this diamond formation.

Get back to basics and go 4-4-2 and see what happens!

I don't think we are going to see many goals from our forwards until Daniel is back so we need our midfield to chip in with more than what we have seen so far.
Borini up front to create some space for the midfield. We have potential scorers in the likes of Raheem, Lallana etc just need them to get into the right positions.

With Gerrard given the instructions to give us as much as he can give at full pelt for 60 minutes   


                   Mignolet
               Skrtel   Toure
  Manquillo                   Moreno
                Lucas    Can
      Lallana                   Coutinho
                  Gerrard
                            Sterling

Have to go with this .

Incredible to think that our goal scoring threat sits firmly on the shoulders of Raheem.

This is Crystal F***ing Palace we are playing here - they are sh*te - we will eat and sh*t them.

Don't look forward to our games at the moment. Just don't know where the goals will come from.

Coutinho, Sterling, Lallana, Henderson, Markovic, Allen need to step up and be counted.

Heart says 3-0 Liverpool.

Head says 1-1.

What I wouldn't give for a 5=0 thumping with Balotelli getting a hatrick. It might just make this place a bit more chilled

Walton you are right. Balo & Borini are gonna smash these and start an italian revolution at LFC.

law of averages mate we have to tw*t someone soon

This is Crystal f**king Palace we are playing here - they are sh*te - we will eat and sh*t them.

I just hope we don't sh*t them and then eat them

Bib theory pprediction - green bibs are starters:

Migs
Manquillo-Skrtel-Lovren-Johno
Gerrard
Allen - Hendo
Lallana-Lambert-Coutinho

Hope not, None of that mid field three deserves to be playing. Unless BR is resting other for CL game.

Mignolet
Manquillo Skrtel Toure Moreno
Can Lucas
Coutinho
Lallana Balotelli Sterling

                                 Mignolet
Manquillo          Skrtel             Lovren         Moreno
                       Can                 Lucas
                              Coutinho
Lallana                                              Sterling
                            Balotelli

                                 Mignolet
Manquillo          Skrtel             Lovren         Moreno
                       Can                 Lucas
                              Coutinho
Lallana                                              Sterling
                            Balotelli

I'd go with that mate but with Borini instead of Balo.

Same here.

Same here.

I am worried that Borini may score a goal if he plays. Then at Christmas we may have to sell our top scoring striker yet again

                                 Mignolet
Manquillo          Skrtel             Lovren         Moreno
                       Can                 Lucas
                              Coutinho
Lallana                                              Sterling
                            Balotelli

Not bad, although Sterling and Lallana need to switch sides,  and Mario needs dropped for Borini.

must win game, literally must win, after 3 defeats in a row, we don't afford to drop 3 points here

Very important to win at Palace on Sunday, if only to steer clear of the relegation zone. Going for a 2 1 win for the Reds. Although tbh do not know where the goals will come from. Far different scenario from last spring when we were chasing the league.

I can't believe there are some on here who think we should line up tomorrow with Balotelli as a lone striker AGAIN!!!

We either play Mario up top with Borini or don't play him at all as he cannot play on his own up front!!!
