Arsenal game (Premiership - 12th Nov 4pm)

Predictions, team selections, pre-match discussion...

this is a biggy  

=============Reina


==Finnan===Carra===Hypia===Riise


==Gerrard==Alonso==Zenden==Garcia


=========Kuyt===Crouch


thought Zenden was brill against Birmingham, i think he should replace sissoko

Subs: Dudek, Agger, Bellamy, Pennant, Warnock


i think we will win 2-0 easy buns  

Reina

Finnan
Carragher
Agger
Riise

Pennant
Gerrard
Alonso
Gonzalez

Kuyt
Fowler

We should come out with all three points, no excuses.

TEAM V ARSENAL

REINA

i agree with the team selection but not with your comments on mr.zenden

Quite amazed that you managed to speak to 3000 people in one night !!     anyway, joking aside, i have to disagree with you re: Zenden he played a brilliant game and i'm sure we'd get a whole lot more out of him if he was played regularly, he was really finding his form before his injury last season and looks like he could have a lot to offer,  if anyone is lightweight it has to be Pennant, personally i don't think he's Liverpool quality.   Agger was deffo MOTM, looks like Sami will be losing his place soon,     Looking forward to Sunday, 2-1 Liverpool. (Kuyt & Crouch)

My team

Reina

Finnan  Carra  Hyypia  Riise

Zenden ( not sure if he plays right or left) Gerrard  Alonso  Gonzo

Kuyt Bellamy

Subs: Dudek Crouch Agger Garcia Aurelio

i wudnt play zenden for a big game like arsenal. not just yet neway.  i think 2-0 to liverpool. and then we are bk in the tital race.

agree with madzz adzz.....shldt pick zenden. still not convinced by him. didnt rate his performance in the carling cup.. May have looked good but who was he playing against.

My team for the visit to the Emirates is

Reina

Finnan
Hyppia
Carragher
Riise

Garcia
Steve G
Alonso
Pennant

Kuyt
Crouch

Prediction: 0 - 2 to us. Stevie G and Pennant to score.

I would go exactly the same.We are going to need plenty of pace to cope against Arse but with Garcia and Pennant I know we can get at them and cause them loads of problems and now with Stevie G back in his best position(hopefully ) there will be no stopping us

2-1 Kuyt and Gerrard

Little Luis back then?

Definitely wouldn't play him.  Not an away game player, and definitely not against a physical side like Arsenal.

Sliding round to the Zenden idea.

does any one think that this is the bigggest game liverpool have played this season?

i agree with garcia and pennant against arsenal,we need pace hitting their defence from the wings and if we start with kuyt and crouch (which is the best option) we need some good balls crosssed in for them fron the wings to Bang in the back of the net,but then would gonzalez/riise be a better choice on the left?
get well soon sissoko!

its ganna be a tough one at the Emirates hopefully rafa will go for a strong team tho.

my team

reina

finnan
agger
carragher
riise

Pennant
gerrard
alonso
garica

Kuyt
crouch

i say a 2-1 win to liverpool com on!!!!!!

Reina GK
Finnan RB
Carragher CB
Hyypia CB
Riise LB
Pennant RW
Gerrard CM
Alonso CM
Garcia LW
Kuyt ST
Crouch ST

I think we will we win 2-0 and show Arsenal what it means to actually have true British players in our squad. Having two away clean sheets under our belt we will have more confidence than before. Hopefully Kuyt keeps his goalscoring form going and Gerrard a good performance like he always does. EASY WIN LIVERPOOL!

Hi all, this is my first post here in the forums. Anyway, on to the starting lineup

Reina

Finnan
Carragher
Agger
Riise

Luis Garcia
Gerrard
Xabi Alonso
Mark Gonazalez

Kuyt
Crouch

I thought of putting Fabio Aurelio instead of Gonzo, but I think we need some speed on the left side. Also, hes been playing well lately and hopefully Kuyt will keep on scoring. I say Liverpool will win 2-1.

apparently all arsenals games at the emirates have ended either 1-1 or 3-0 to arsenal well guess what.....that spell ends tomorrow gooners come on the reds....my prediction 2-1 mite take that bet on

Reina

Finnan Hyypia Carra Riise

Pennant Stevie Alonso Gonzo

Kuyt Crouch

Subs: Dudek Agger Aurelio Bellamy Garcia

It has to be Kuyt & Crouch, they're proven partners especially since Reading!

Going to be tough as they are desperate for the win as well

We need to get at them in the middle, lots of tackles and plenty of in your face marking  (the gooners don't like it up um capt. manering!!)  so Steve in the middle today for me!!

Prediction, 0-1 to the mighty reds (although we will probably play in white or yellow or what ever)  Kuyt to score

All the best
DH

good luck rafa and the lads! bring home a win PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like you where wrong!! even Rafa agrees with me haha tut tut, and i piked the exact team playing against arsenal i must be rafa in descise

omg 1-0 half time. that was mr zendens fault he let fabregas go 

No happy with Speedy today, lack of vision and wasting good crosses........lets hope he shapes up in the second half  COME ON REDS !!   

i think warnock should come on for gonzalez and push riise to left mid
