Hmm - such as?

Hmm - such as?

Haven't decided yet !

F**k UK night time games.

That is all.

Pretty good timing announcing Coutinho before this match, give the fans and the players a lift and a bit of added pressure for some, which in my book is always a good thing!

Buzzing for this game now, let's hope the lads are too and put in a really strong performance.

Hope for good performance.

Probably won't be able to watch that match, I would go with

Reina, Wisdom, Skrtel, Agger, Johnson, Lucas, Allen, Gerrard, Henderson, Suarez, Sturridge

I agree with you except for one name, ALLEN! Why on earth would you pick Allen to play in the midfield against Arsenal? His performances lately have been non existent to say the least!

Can see this being a cracking game, I'm gonna go for:

Reina

Johnson
Skrtel
Agger
Enrique

Gerrard (c)
Lucas
Henderson

Downing
Sturridge
Suarez

Subs; Jones; Wisdom, Carragher; Allen, Shelvey; Sterling, Borini.

I think it will be a tough game but think we will match them in all aspects of the field, with Walcott being there main threat - Just hope Skrtel and Agger are on top form.

My hearts saying an LFC win but I think it'll be a draw - I'm going for 1-1 with Giroud and Gerrard scoring the goals.

Going to watch the game in my mate's tonight, looking forward to the reaction from the side, after Sunday's shambles. I must admit that I would settle for a draw tonight, although a win would be great.

F**k UK night time games.

Agree Mate and I live in the UK. Must be stupid o'clock over there!

Will be mega dissapointed if Allen starts this game ,otherwise lets up and at them and try and get last weekend behind us ,onwards and upwards as you were.

I prefer Henderson to Allen but he needs to play to improve his form :/

Disagree mate - lack of match sharpness isn't his issue.

I would play both as I would like us to pack our midfield against them.

Indeed Gareth mate.

6:45am KO. And I've just come in from a midday start at work yesterday. I'm wrecked.

Why cant the sun shine across the world at the same time. Bloody science.

Allen was on Lfc.tv saying that Carzola will be 'earmarked' tonight, so BR might play him to try and keep him company.
Might be wrong, (and I hope I am) but it sounded a bit specific to me.

Arsenal are a team that give you lots of room to play - and that's the worst thing they could do against us.

If they don't shut down our midfield, they're fu**ed. And I don't think they have the players to do that since they sold Song. Maybe Diaby, but he's in sh*t form right now.

Did my share of nightshift back in the day - that's a big ouch!

it could be fair to say that they could suck our midfield in and then kill us on the CT, that's how i remember the last game going down. but we have lucas now. i have tremendous confidence in three points tonight.

Hope Pepe can play

Wisdom    Agger   Carra   Johnson
          Hendo Lucas
Downing   Gerrard   Luis
           Sturridge

Hope we turn these cu*ts over tonight, could really do with the 3 points and the confidence that comes with it.

I'll be happy to see a midfield three of Lucas, Gerrard and Henderson tonight. Our strongest midfield at the moment by a long way.
