Liverpool v Fulham - Prematch

Do you really think Pennant deserves a game?

Fulham's poor away record isn't anything new though, they've been poor away from home for about four or five years now. I'm not worried about that record being broken at Anfield either.

I am worried about the likes of Babel and Benayoun gettin games after their recent press interviews. It gives the impression that we're gonna play anybody who goes runnin to the press. We should be makin an example out of both of them by sayin it doesn't make any difference if you tell the press you've got a cob on, you still only get picked when the manager wants to. As for Pennant, he should never wear a Liverpool shirt again, even in trainin. He doesn't deserve it, he hasn't honoured the club so F**k him.

I still expect a comfortable win, with hopefully a really strong side. Even if it is Fulham, I don't want no f***in about in the team selection.

Looks like Keane will be fit,stevie won't be though,i think we need to be more attacking against the likes of Fulham at home,no doubt they will block up the midfield?plenty of width need.Albert and Babel? dare i say mr .J.D. Pennant?

                          Reina

      Arbeloa       Carragher          Agger       


 Kuyt        Alonso           Masch         Riera


          Keane       Torres      Babel

Liverpool v Fulham pretty much explains my selection. Attack their brains out and come away with a 7-0 win

Babel x 2, Kuyt x 1, Keane x 1 and Torres x 3.

Go the Reds!

Somehow, i have a feeling Robbie Keane will be on the bench !

Fulham's poor away record isn't anything new though, they've been poor away from home for about four or five years now. I'm not worried about that record being broken at Anfield either.

Me neither. Somebody suggested that the fact they have never won at Anfield may fire them up.  Well it obviously hasn't for the last 76 years has it. Why would this year be different? Do you think they hadn't known that last year, and the year before that.

I'd imagine Rafa would put out the strongest team possible that he can.  I sincerely hope nobody is being rested for the Champions League game.

Struggle to believe somebody selected a position for Pennant, when the likes of El Zhar, Kuyt, Babel are all in my opinion ahead of him.

I'd imagine Rafa will have a bit of a selection headache tomorrow and some of the players will not be at 100%.

But we still should hammer Fulham.

i'm not worried about this one.  i think we should play an attacking formation from the offset, in order to get an early goal.  that would force them to play further up the pitch and allow Torres to run off their high defensive line.  we are due to give somebody a walloping and this could be it!

to be honest, if stevie has to miss a game due to injury, this is one of the ones i'd choose for him to miss.  we should really be able to take 3 points quite easily, but as goes without saying, we cant be too complacent either.

i expect fulham to come and defend with 10 men, so an early goal will certainly make the job easier.  the only thing i think we have to be wary of is that diving little tw*t johnson.

all in all though, should be an easy three points for the reds.

Regardless of the starting line-up, I expect a win.
Fulham are hopless away from home so it should be a comfortable win.
3-0 for me.

GERRARD RULED OUT OF FULHAM CLASH
 
Paul Eaton 21 November 2008 

  Steven Gerrard has been ruled out of tomorrow's league clash with Fulham - but Robbie Keane is fit after recovering from a shoulder injury. 
The Liverpool skipper - who was forced to pull out of the England squad for the midweek friendly in Berlin - could return for next week's Champions League showdown with Marseille.
 
"He is improving but it is still too soon for this weekend," said boss Rafael Benitez today.
 
"He is still working with the physios so he will not be fit for this game. He might be available for Wednesday but it depends on his progress. Hopefully we will have him back for the Marseille game."
 
Keane, meanwhile, will be available for selection after shaking off the shoulder problem which forced him to miss Republic of Ireland's midweek friendly defeat to Poland.
 
"I think he will be okay," said Benitez. "He was training today so he should be fit for the game.
 
"Some of the players who have returned from international games are a little bit tired, but I think most of them will be okay for this weekend."
 
Benitez was also relieved to see Fernando Torres for once emerge unscathed from an international break, with the Spanish striker on target in a 3-0 victory over Chile.
 
"I am really pleased that we had five players in the Spanish national team and Fernando did very well in the time he was on the pitch, scoring a good goal. He was sharp and that's really positive for us."

Well as expected Stevie is going to be out tomorrow, but we should still have a comfortable win against Fulham.

Sounds like the time Torres had on the pitch will for once benefit us, a good bit of much needed match practice for him.

I'm going for a 3-0 victory for us, will welcome Danny Murphy back, always liked him when he played for us and he always did well against the Mancs 

My scorers.........Kuyt, he's on fire at the moment, and two from Torres.


Go Liverpool 
 
 

I have to be honest without Stevie, we don't fill me confidence of creatin a hatful of chances. On the other hand, with Torres on the pitch I'm always confident of us scorin.

I still expect three points, but not as comfortable as it would be with Stevie in the side.

I think we can still win this game just that without Stevie, Fulham have one less player to fear!

Shame though, would have been nice to score a goal on his Steven Gerrard decade.

Remember to get your predictions in!

Liverpool 4 Fulham 0

Torres
Keane
Kuyt
Babbel

Remember to get your predictions in!

thanx for reminding me, almost forgot it

Paddy power have kuyt @9/2 to score first tomorrow now thats not bad odds and the form the lads on he could pay for my weekend on the piss

Liverpool 4 Fulham 0

Kuyt
Keane
Torres
Babbel

I was going to go for a 6-0 win until it was confirmed Stevie isn't playing.

I think Fulham might think they have a chance here and really be up for it. Having said that though, I still think we'll smack them. I'm going for 5-0. Torres hattrick, Dirk to continue his goalscoring hot streak and a Robbie Keane tap-in 

Depends.

If we score in the first half hour we'll win comfortably between 3 and 5 nil but if it goes into the second half goaless we may have to scrape a 1-0 or 2-0.

I'm going for the simple 3-0. Torres, Keane and Alonso.

              Reina

Arbeloa Carra Agger Aurelio

        Mascherano Xabi

    Babel    Kuyt    Reira
 
             Torres

Think Rafa will save Keane for second half, he just recovered from injury. We should win this, we MUST, to keep up with the Blues & move closer to number NINETEEN (19), 19, 19, 19...........

Hope Torres score, Kuyt score, babel score.

I hope it's a question of "by how many?" to be honest. 5-0 would put our GD way up. It'd be ideal.

Taken from the Fulham FC forum:

"There is absolutely no reason why we could not beat liverpool with our current team "


I'm laughing so hard!

I put 3-0 in for my predictions but I've got belief that a thrashing is possible. Fulham are a side that we should and better get plenty of chances against, if we're in good form(don't get cocky), you're looking at 5-0 or even 6-0.
