The 2 Van Persie goals at Anfield last year, that imo really knocked us sideways in the league from that point on, still rankles. He's in super form this year, and the main reason why Utd are so far clear. Agree it's between him an Luis for player of the season so far. If Skyrtel and Agger and Reina can keep him quiet, we're well in there.
Suarez though is the man, can't even imagine going into these big games without him. If he's on his game as he was at QPR, he can get at the Utd defense. They'll be looking to keep him quiet.
Wonder if Sturridge will start. Probably not, not a time to be making changes like that. But least he's a threat that can come on. We haven't really had that.
Big test for the side now the next few games. REALLY looking forward to the match tomorrow. In theory the pitch at Old Toilet should suit our passing game. Utd also do tend to let teams play a bit. First goal important though I think (know that is trotted out a lot). But we haven't shown ourselves to be good at coming from behind this season. Big game for Lucas too, especially against Utd who break forward quick and in numbers.
And big test for Rodgers - tactics, selection, substitutions etc. No fawning to alcho-nose pls.
Love these games, they don't come along often, CANNOT wait to get kicked off. My main hope is that Luis has a good game, the guy is in TOP form and would love to see him knocking the sh*te out of Fungusons dickheads in from of their prawn sandwitch munching faithful.
CMON DE BOOYYYSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
