West Ham vs Liverpool (30th Jan, 19:45 K.O)

I think you're right as we signed him on loan as a West Ham player.

Premier league rules stipulate that any player signed on loan is unable to play for his on loan club against his host club.

Think Masch is suspended for yellow cards, as far as I know Masch is not on loan from West ham but from his owners M.S.I ,think thats what they are called.

I thought Mascherano was suspended for this game?
I read that somewhere, maybe I'm wrong.

During the Villa game he picked up a yellow card and the commentator said he'll miss the next match. I thought at the time...F&ck, that's the West Ham game...what a shame, it would have been nice to show West Ham what they missed out on.

What channel is the game on because my tickets still have'nt arrived

King Ken,

If your local boozer has the foreign it is on the Scandanavian (C+ Sport 1) and the Albanian/Greek Channel (DigitAlb SuperSport 4). I think every boozer that has the foreign wil have these.

Dunno where you are from mate but The 1st National on James St in Liverpool City centre is a top place to watch the game.

Well that would have paid off as well then had he not got those yellows!

Bummer on that basis I say we play the following
Reina
Finnan   Carra   Hyypia   Riise

Pennant     Alonso         Benayoun

         Gerrard

Torres        Kuyt

Subs: Intadje, Lucas, Babel, Aurellio, Crouch

Solid back four but no Skytel as he needs experience first, bit of width with Pennant and Yossi on the wings with Gerrard playing just off Torres partnered by Kuyt (I think he needs more games he's looking hungry).

Cant we leave him on the bench and give him a sandwich, and play Crouch or Babel instead

Yes but he won't improve and will just be a waste of money, Babel can be brought on in the second half stats show he plays better as a sub.

  Nice one Venison......give him a Venison Sandwich even

I'm sorry AJ....really don't think Kuyt should play, I agree with Venison...definitely Crouch or Babel up front with Torres.

I just feel sorry for the guy as he tries really hard and don't always get the chances he deserves and he is a great asset to the team when he starts, always tracking back to help out and runs constantly.

Should be a "must win game". Won't predict the result cause I'm always wrong!!!

I agree with you AJ, Kuyt is a wonderful asset to the team, he works his socks off during the game, never gives in and tries so hard....BUT he's there to score goals and he just doesn't do it, that's why I think, and I've said it before, he'd make a great midfielder, I think maybe there too much pressure on him as a striker, and he can't cut the mustard.

Unfortunately none of our strikers are a patch on Torres, so they are always living in his shadow, we desperately need another top class striker to complement Torres play, cos Kuyt, Crouch or Voronin aren't up to the job.

Babel isn't going to be starting upfront anytime soon.

Babel isn't going to be starting upfront anytime soon.

Well he bloody well should then.

I think our best chance is to work on having ferocious speed and natural power up front to compensate for our lack of width. The width Benitez tries to introduce is either artificial {Babel, Benny} or is inadequate {Kewell Pennant}

So forget it.

Do what you can do and do it well. Don't try to be something you are not.

If he is really brave, he'll drop Mash in front of the back 4 and behind Gerrard, then he will drop Babel in behind Torres and Crouch. Let Alonso do the creative stuff in the middle.

My starting 11:

               Pepe
Finnan, Carra, Sammi, Riise
Yossi, Alonso, Masch, Babel
               Gerrard
               Torres

Full attack!!
A must win match

Good Luck  Lads

Wow some really optimistic predictions on here, are we forgetting they beat Manure. I would go with;


                                              Reina
Finnan                       Carra                  Hyppia                Riise


Pennant               Masch                 Gerrard          Babel

                      
                             Torres                    Crouch


Aurelio was shiite against Villa, I would not mind giving Skrtel a second chance but Hyppia was clearly MOM against Villa.

I think they should start of in a more offensive way like they have done in some great games in europe. Usually they start of pretty slow and lately they also HAD to score late in the game to eighter draw or win and then it gets to be to many long balls...

Went there last season and played 4-3-3. Played Kuyt/Bellamy/Crouch. Was a gnuine 4-3-3 as well. No one playing out wide.

Can't see it being the same tomorrow though.

I would give Skrtel another game and rest Sami for the big games coming up...

Babel isn't ready to play upfront yet

Pennant is a must!! last time he got a run out he was f***in pure class

Pennant is a must!! last time he got a run out he was f***in pure class

I agree you can tell how much we have missed him, I bet he got loads of assists against H & W! as long as he keeps it up I'll be happy get me up the table in the fantasy league @ work too

In Rafa I trust
In the team I trust
In spanish:¡¡¡A POR ELLOS!!!
