Liverpool vs Wigan (Pre-Match) Sat 12/2/11 3pm

like to see another clean sheet i like to see pacheo come on as a sub. gerrad and kelly might not feature. regardless of that cant see how can lose on present form prediction 3-0 to the reds 

Another clean sheet, and 3 more points.

We should win this. Coming off the back of 4 straight wins all with clean sheets, the side should be full of confidence.
Carroll aside we have a pretty much injury free squad, depending on how serious Gerrard's injury is.

Also, looking at the fixtures, Chelsea and Spurs ,who are both on 44 points, have tough away games this coming weekend.

If we beat Wigan, we'll move onto 41 points. Spurs have a later kick off away to Sunderland, a very tough place to go (only lost twice there this season, Spurs have 4 away losses), knowing we're only 3 points behind.

Chelsea don't play until Monday night, and that's Fulham away. Another tough place to play (Fulham have only lost 3 times at home this season, Chelsea have 5 away losses). Again, hopefully they have the pressure of knowing we're only 3 points behind them.

Big big weekend coming up this weekend. Hope we close the gap on atleast one of those 2 sides.

Looking forward to it alot.

Not sure about the 3-man backline in this one. Don't Wigan do a 4-5-1/4-3-3? Rodallega is a good mover, and if he gets out in to the channels that could bother a 3-man backline. But I'll leave all that smart football stuff to the King and Clarke

Reina

Carragher
Skrtel
Dagger

Kelly
Johnson

Lucas

Gerrard
Meireles
Kuyt

Suarez

Think that is the lineup we will see, unless we go to a 4-man backline, where I see Skrtel getting dropped in favor of Maxi or even Pulsen (shudder). 3-1 to the Redmen. Suarez and a Gerrard double. N'Zogbia to score a consolation goal.

           Reina

Kelly Carra Agger Johnson

            Lucas

      Gerrard  Meireles

Kuyt     N'Gog      Suarez     

Kelly and Johnson provide the witdh as they have done

Lucas holding allows Stevie and Raul to make it a 5 pronged attack when we have the ball

In an ideal world the 3 subs Id like to see get time would be Pacheco, Cole and Shelvey

Ask Dexter, Suarez can't play on the left.

Seemed to do ok last Wednesday cutting in from there!! But im sure him and Kuyt couild swap over!!

Will be on the Kop for this. Seems far from that freezing night at the JW when we were brilliant for first 10minutes and sh*t for the other 80! Rodellega and Nzgobia caused us problems that night but this is Kenny's Liverpool not Hodgsons so fully confident of another 3 points here without much trouble.

Expect Suarez to get his full debut and hopefully Stevie and Kelly will be passed fit. Not sure if Kenny will keep the 3 centre backs for this but either way Im not bothered, just great feeling having the confidence and belief back that regardless of what team we play, every player will give their all for the shirt and know what exactly what their jobs are!

Cmon Redmen!!!!!!!!

Voted we'l lose every time i have we ended up winning

This is a game i'm really looking forward to. Wigan won't be easy to break down, but i can see us winning easily in the end.
Suarez to continue where he left of against Stoke.

Why do we have 1 person thinking we will draw and 1 thinking we will get beat that just dosent make sense.

Win here!

Just out of interest, what team has the most conceutive wins this season? If we get the 5ht on the bounce that would surely put us up there!

Keep on marching towards where we deserve, 4th place and Champions League please..!

We need to keep up the inteligent tactical football that has become Kenny's trademark. What we don't want is a lacklustre performance believing all the damage is repaired and Wigan are there for the taking. The lads need to believe, every team they play are a massive danger to their future with the club. They need that never say die attitude against everyone. If we can keep the urgency and desire, without any complacentcy, we can win this but it will be hard work. Expecting a 2 - 0 or 2 - 1 win here. Will need to give 110 % once again.

I would like the same team as before but Maxi out and Suarez in.

looking forward to this game
ive had a bad year things looking better now
so this will be my 1st game this season

I think we'll smash em, Richard Keys style.

Win here!

probably Chelsea at the start of the season, they won the first 6 or 7 games

They only won five in a row. Lost to Man City in the 6th league game. Five games is also currently the highest win sequence in the league. We share four wins with Man United and Man City.

ok, thought it was more than that, good chance of us getting to 6 against wigan and west ham aswell

I am excited to watch us play. We will win the game convincingly. We are going to keep moving up the table.

Right then, what two idiots put down a defeat in the poll?. Obviously i have curbed my language and answer to avoid getting warned. WUM's?. Weed them out please.

I will blindly trust in any formation our King plays for the Wigan game.
But i personally feel that Kenny played a 3-5-2 formation against Stoke and Chelsea to kill of their attacking threats.
We needed more defenders to defend against Stoke's long balls and throw ins, where as Chelsea were a strong attacking team.

Against smaller teams, i think kenny would again opt for a 4-4-2
