Pre-match: Portsmouth v Liverpool (K.O 12:45)

is pacheco in da squad for da game i really hope he gets some first team football this season i say we use him as he wuld create oportunities something we lack in our squad(except benayoun) maybe until jan i say we use pacheco and maybe bring vdv on loan but id really love pacheco to play some part vs pompey

Where is the guy whose friend guesses the starting XІ every time ? 

According to him it's more than a guess.

The view from Pompey

 Any kind of stability would be welcomed around about now; I know things aren't exactly a barrel of laughs for you lot at the moment either. Maybe we can spend the day at Fratton Park sobbing. Actually on second thoughts, let's just get drunk and sing Christmas Carols.

Enjoyed that it was a good read especially that part ^^^^

                    Reina
    Carragher - Agger - Skrtel - Insua
 Kuyt - Aquilani - Mascherano - Benayoun
                 Gerrard
                   Torres

 Portsmouth v Liverpool
                0:3

Just realised i may miss this tonight! Bummed. I hope the lads come out firing and get a couple of wins on the bounce.

portsmouth with major problems paying the player plus close to being regulated. this should be a breeze and chance for the lads to get two in row torres to score 2

Looking for a good win -with lots of attacking football. The fans deserve nothing less. Hope we can see Stevie back to his best and a lot more of Aquilani .YNWA.

This is certainly a big match....Yes, I know its Pompey, Last in the table, relegation fodder.  But (2) things will happen  Liverpool will spank the sh*t out of them 4-0,5-0,5-1,6-1 etc.. Which show us that we are built solid and are top 4 material. However a  2-1, 3-2, 1-0. or draw or GOD FORBID loss.

Will just destroy this team. Not just in the press and media and make for a nice fat target for the haters and band wagon fans, but it could sink the entire season.  I think its that Important.  We need to DESTROY Pompey and do it convincingly from 0:01 all the way to the 90+ mark.

3 points are just sitting their. Lets take it and continue our return and get this sh*t rolling.. This season is just a mess for everyone. No dominating invincible team has come out. Chelsea, Man u, Arsenal all have shown that they can be beat with solid 90 min of play. If we do that from this point forward, we can get back too top 4 and higher.  Start using Aqualiani, F**k Kuyt and Lucas, bring on Ngog and Torres and lets change it up and start winning.

GO REDS!.....YNWA....IRWT

i think this is going to be a lot tougher than people think. Pompey should have been ahead after the first 45 against Utd and held Chelsea level
til the latter stages on Wed. We need to put in a very good 90 mins to win this.

Agree this match will be a lot tougher than it maybe would have been a few weeks ago. Pompy have picked up a bit and no doubt they will cram the midfield and play one up front like they did at Chelsea. Still think we will win 2-0, Torres has looked awesome last couple weeks.  Think Rafa will go for

             Reina
Carra Skrtel Agger Aurelio
      Lucas Masch
Kuyt                  Benny
           Gerrard
            Torres

Their position in the League belies the fact that Pompey are handy enough in attack and okay in mid-field; it's at the back they're sh*te.

A four, four two that keeps their backs under pressure seems to reap most reward. Much as i'd like to see it, I doubt we'll go with that formation and our midfield haven't been supporting the lone striker (too often) of late, so it may be tight enough.

A win by the odd goal will do. 'mon the Reds! 

Would love a 3-0 win with Carra scoring and with Gerrard and Torres grabbing a goal. But I think that Nando and Aquilani will start on the bench.

Off topic when you write Aquilani with A it changes to Aquilani

Would like to see Aquilani start today, maybe alongside Gerrard in midfield with Kuyt and Torres up top. Go all out for it, I think we'll have too much for Pompey if we play our two creative midfielders, I don't think Masch is needed today tbh.

Off topic when you write Aquilani with A it changes to Aquilani

Lemme try that...
