Pre Match: Unirea Urziceni vs Liverpool - 25th Feb 2010 Europa league (2nd leg)

These guys aren't as bad as they looked in the first game, they came for a draw and nearly got.

We should be too strong for them, but I'm not going to take them lightly, after all they did as well as we did in the Champion's League.

I think we will sneak a 1-0 win, but remember the league cup and FA cup!! Worse teams have beaten us before.

I know some people will not like the kick-off time, but it suits me down to the ground. Get home from school and go straight into watching the Reds playing- brilliant . Anyway, we should be far too strong for them, whatever team we put out. I expect Rafa to put a strong team out, just to make sure. Come on lads, no messing about!

My very first ever Liverpool match was at Anfield against the Romanian champions. It was 1984 and we won 1-0 at home.  Went on to win the European Cup.

I think that was my fourth of fifth Liverpool game JD Sammy Lee Header if i remember correctly

I wouldnt play Torres or Benny from the start in this,would have them on the bench at best
would play the following

                       Reina
          Carra    Skirtl  Sotis   Aurelio
            Gerrard      Masch Lucas  Babel
                              Ngog
                   Kuyt

2 thing's to clear up, what's the score with Pacheco is he away with Spain?
Also is the game on ITV 4 at all, because have an early finish from work booked in. But don't have ESPN
All these bloody channels
           
           

Not sure what's happening with Pacheco guys. 

When I posted yesterday that he's with the Spanish under 19's team the article didn't say for how long.

Dont have a clue about Pacheco- Guess we will have to wait and find out tomorrow!!

And the game is on ESPN- If you look on the fixture list on lfc.tv- it says which games are live on the telly- and which channels they are on- kick off times etc...

I am also quietly confident- Have the night off work so will be able to watch the whole game and not jus the second half!!
Hoping they also come out and play some football- might just encourage us to do the same!!!

2-0  Come on lads!!!!

Torres won't start.

Maybe thats a blessing in disguise, if Rafa keeps him on the bench, then he wont be involved in Del Boys plans for Spain??

Torres wont start a game until we play united away.. With the game we have i dont think he needs to start. We should do it without him with maybe giving him 15-20 mins in the final phase of the game...

I would keep same back 4 which started v city....

Lucas n masch in middle as holding.. Put Gerrard on right.. Aquliani in the hole...  Babel on left... Kuyt up front...

or Gerrard in the hole.. Pacheco on the right with Aquliani on bench..

Agreed.

Crouchy mate any idea if this is on ESPN here, there are two scheduled matches one at 5am and another at 7am but only says "mathcday"?!

Dado, it's deffo the 5am kick off game on ESPN....set the alarm already.

Off topic...gutted not showing the Blackburn game on the weekend as they are showing the F***ing Villa v Manc Final...fuckkkk.

Back On topic...well as Billy mentioned in another thread we haven't scored more than 2 goals since Septmeber. Think if we get the early goal, with Nando and Benni in the side, the floodgates might open and we might remember how to put the ball in the back of the net.

Come on you Reds, let's put this to bed ASAP so we can rest the big guns for the Blackburn game.

Agreed.

Sorry mate didn't see this post.

As Aussie said, it is.

Do you's know if it will be the game SBS show at 6:30?

EDIT: No it is not. They claim to have a live game, and ours is at 4:45, not 6:45 Stream for me. I shouldn't of broken our Fox box.

Sporting v Everton. Again They never show both matches of a tie live.

Ah. Early kick-off. Good. I won't have to stay awake long into the night.
Really hoping for a comfortable victory.
Any idea who we would face if we won this fixture, or is the draw yet to be made?

I know we are already a goal up and they didnt look that great but I think Rafa should continue to play the strongest team possible.
Any away tie in Europe is tough so im not sure I would start with Kelly or Pacheco.

I think the team will be similar to the City match with maybe the Greek getting a game.

              Reina
Carra   Skrtel Greek  Insua
          Masch Lucas
Kuyt                     Riera
          Gerrard
       Babel or Ngog

They need to score so they should open up a bit and hopefully we will pick them off however we arent scoring freely so I will go for 2-0

Pacheco is away isn't he

Excuse me ladies and gentleman.  Is it 5pm or 6pm uk time?  In anfield-online it says 6pm and in this topic 5pm.  Please would someone inform me of the correct timing.  Thanks in advance for your kind co-operation.
Come on Reds!!!

Always go by what it says on Anfield Online rather than the forum mate. 6pm kick off. Mind you the first post in this thread does say 6pm. 

Cheers Red Kenny!  Early kick off 11.45pm Nepal Time.  Up for it with a few gin and tonics.

Dumb-ass kick off time.

Couldn't they show some consideration and wait until after I've put the kids to bed?

Pacheco is away isn't he

Could be with Spain U20/U21s.

Good point.

Pre match interview

Interviewer "Rafa why is that since you won the cl in 2005 you have put on so much weight"

Rafa " Its the stress of answering silly questions from the press, thank you and good night"

Well in Rafa for your reply but what the fook is the lad asking getting paid to do? Be a tw** or ask questions regarding tonights game?

He trying to be funny? Seems Romania have their own version of the Sun.

I think Pacheco is in the squad actually. He's on the photos on the offal with the team meeting Romanian kids.
