Pre Match: Fulham v Liverpool (Premier League 31/10/09 3pm)

I've gone for 3-1 to us.

I've gone for 3-1 to us.

That was the one i was meant to be nodding at above but posts came before mine so it went tits up

They got a few injuries one of them is Danny Murphy who scores for fun against us so I'm goin for a 2-0 
                                         Come on you redmen

I have no idea what kind of team Rafa will have at his disposal but I hope they go out there from the off and play with the passion, pride and grit they showed against the Mancs.

If they do they can beat anyone. My mindset is if we can beat the Mancs, than anyone else should be easy pickings. I hope this is the case, it's going to be tough away from home but with our away fans giving us their usual full on backing, I can see the lads being right up for this one.

Come on you Reds, less than 5 hours to kick off.

Spot on bro. That's what it's all about for me today. Passion, pride and grit.

We need another good game from Lucas and Mascherano today. Lucas needs to be involved more further up the pitch. Putting pressure on their midfield in their half and let Mascherano deal with our half. If we get the engine room balanced we'll have a few players to move about and get Torres on the end of something.

My concern is the right back slot. I don't trust Degen in the league and we don't want the defence flapping early on in the game.

But hopefully we'll get stuck in there and get the first goal.

Come on you reds!

One concern I have is Etuhu - compared to Mascherano and Lucas. There is quite a size difference.

Maybe the best approach will be second ball in midfield?

Looking forward to this now.

I thought Etuhu was out ?

2-2 they are a semi decent side, we need to knock on though, to get a result, and keep the momentum going for the rest of the season.

3 points is a must today to keep up the pressure and keep climbing up the table. I don't see many problems with this game 2-1

Come on redmen

I've gone for an optimistic 3-0 to us.  That was before I realised Gerrard and Johnson was out, bit I'm not changing it.  Lets push on from last Sunday.  Come on you Reds 

Probably 2-1. Torres to score at the start of the second half, then benayoun near the end.

Wouldn't mind seeing N'gog up top with Torres today. He looked very promising against Arsenal. Looking forward to seeing the team sheet actually.

Very interested to see who Rafa puts out today.  Think Nando will be there to get us ahead like the United game.  Lets get 3 points and continue the rise

According to LFC.tv the match is not on TV in the UK. Why is that?

Nope, not on the tele, not sure why either.

Because it's a 3pm kick off and 3pm kick off's are never shown live on TV (unless it's the FA Cup Final or League Cup Final).

Come on you REDS , even without  Gerrard we are still better as Fulham have injuries also..
Still , the Cottage is a tough place to play
Probably gonna be a tight match, really be nice to get an early goal

Gonna go 2-0 Reds

Torres
Kuyt ( he's due)

man on the radio said voranin was upfront with torres, i really really hope he is wrong
