Liverpool v Sunderland, Wednesday 2nd January, KO: 19:45 Pre-match build up

Why is the transfer thread locked during the transfer month ? Any ideas ?

Click on Liverpool FC Forum and then it is in the page below 'The Kop'.

Thinking like most, tricky game this. capable of beating these but depends on which team turns up for both. They've been a bit less convincing than us, but have a couple of decent players retuning from injury so have looked a bit better last couple of games. Hope we get an early goal and continue with the urgency we showed against qpr first half. Just hope we have a better second half tomorrow. Few good results went in our favour today, just hope we can capitalise on them this time. Think the game will go................
  1 - 0         2 - 0       2 - 1      3 - 1   Suarez 2 Gerrard 1    With Martin 'Zebedee' Oneil leaping about like a man obsessed. With places threatened due to the threat of new signings coming in, should see everyone give 110 % .  Surely now we can start on the road to consistency...

We play manure, norwich, arsenal and city next. I don't usually say this, but we ABSOLUTELY need to win this game. If our center backs don't have another off day, we can beat them, no problem. I'm going for 3-1, goals from Suarez, Gerrard and Skrtel.

And Happy New Year, everyone!!

Just a quick question, I'm travelling from Manchester for the game tomorrow and I am getting the train to Sandhills and I am hoping to get the Soccerbus to Anfield, does anybody know how often they are? Would be a big help, if not then no worries.

A lot of results went our way, so once again, like Stoke, getting points here is a must. 3 points would be pretty big heading into the FA Cup, then United away.

I'd go with this tomorrow:

Reina
Skrtel     Agger
Wisdom                  Johnson
Allen   Sahin
Gerrard
Downing                    Assaidi
Suarez

I think Glen should be at LB to combat Adam Johnson. He'll be cutting in on his left a lot and that will be onto Glen's stronger right foot.

Give Sahin a run out in midfield while pushing Stevie higher up the pitch. Leaving out Lucas so he can recover more. Ideally, he'd come on for about 25-30 minutes at the end, for either Joe or Nuri.

I'd also start Assaidi as Sterling was very good vs QPR and is still in need of rest.

Win one lose one.  Thas the way its been going for us.  But toss that its a New Year.  Star with a win.  Very important.  Sturridge's arrival imminent and a new Year everyone has to be positive and napalm sunderland too.  Ofcourse you're gonna get casualties by maybe surrendering some goals but toss that keep napalming them till they are wiped out.  Going for a win win.  Please REDMEN do em good.

New Year - a new hope. Home win essential.

That's maybe why you're having diffs with the time difference mate... "time is immaterial man". Tho' as long as you don't end up smoking the beef (strong skunk/'convincing' trannies) you'll be alright Ian.

Five and a half hours in front should be 01:15 Ganja Ganges time. 

 

Thanks BBB that means 7 hours to KO. Sweet go u Reds

Don't know the exact timing but they are very frequent.

Alternatively, if you dive off the train at Lime Street (presuming you are on the train) and walk down to the Marriott, direct buses and shared taxis run to the ground for £1.90 and come every 5 minutes.

Just so you know, if you are travelling back to Manchester by train after the game, it's rail replacement buses after 9pm.

Aussie - I work a lot in India, they are currently 5:30 mins ahead of us.

Looking forward to this, a nice solid 3 points to give us any chance of mounting a sprint for the top 4.

Hoping Everton will stumble at Newcastle with all the pressure mounting on Pardew.

QPR to get something out of the chavs would be magnificent.

#Optimism

Nervous about this game - this season has me conditioned for a boot in the b#llocks tonight.

As ever my optimism prevails so its 2-0 LFC - Luis and wait for it..............Hendo.

I think we'll win comfortably here, 4-0.

Fancy us against any team that just come and sit. Just have to make sure when they break we close down quickly and don't let them get any decent service to Fletcher. Remember the only reason we didn't win the first time was because of our love of hitting the woodwork.

Allen and Gerrard bossed the midfield in the first game, we'll see the same again with better results this time

I think we'll win comfortably here, 4-0.

Hope so Mick,but i will take a 1-0 from a deflection if it meant 3 points bagged.

I think we'll win comfortably here, 4-0.

O god! Hope so but lets not go in thinking we have it won before we kick a ball like the villa game!! Sunderland have got better will be hard to break down and good on the break.

On way to this one...! 4-0..

I think we'll win comfortably here, 4-0.

Are you still bevvied from New Years big lad?
I'll take 2-0 all day Suarez both probably

Touch under 8 hours Aus...

Hope you're having a good time lad

Cheers,
