Liverpool v. Man City Match Thread

The Liverpool XI in full is:
Reina, Arbeloa, Dossena, Carragher Skrtel, Lucas, Mascherano, Benayoun, Riera, Kuyt, Torres.
 Subs: Cavalieri, Hyypia, Aurelio, Babel, Ngog, Spearing, El Zhar.
 

Aurelio man of the match against Pompey then gets dropped? Beggers belief it really does.

Doesn't it just!

I'd rather see him playing CM than Lucas today to be honest, although hopefully he can prove me wrong with a good performance today.

Looks like we'll be lining up as follows:

-----Reina-----

Arby-----Carra-----Skrtel-----Drossena

Kuyt-----Masch-----Lucas-----Riera

-----Benny-----

-----Nando-----

It's baffling Ross. It really is.

Either that or Kuyt behind Torres with Benayoun right wing, we might seem some changing between them to today I think if things aren't working out.

The match isn't on English TV, so i advise you to watch online at: http://www.iraqgoals.com/en/

Hoping for a 2-0 win, with Benayoun and Torres scoring.

I expect the line-up to be:

                      Reina

  Arbeloa - Carragher - Skrtel - Dossena

  Benayoun - Lucas - Mascherano - Riera

                   Kuyt - Torres

Is Aggar injured?
 he missed the bench too for today's match

I'm hoping for an early goal and beat them by 2 or 3,but I'd say it'll be nervy and we'll get a late goal to win 1-0.

No idea mate, I didn't think he was though. Makes you wonder whether all of this speculation is getting the better of his game.

Going for a 3-0 win Torres 2 and Kuyt.

Referee: Phil Dowd.

3 or half 3 kick off?

Man City team, looks a strong team for them, but think with city playing 2 defensive midfielders, cant see Lucas getting through much, but with Torres in attack and City's defensive record we should get a comfortable win hopefully.

Given,

Onuoha, Dunne, Richards, Bridge

Zabaleta, De Jong, Kompany, Ireland

Bellamy Robinho

3 o'clock.

Having Dossena and Lucas starting makes me feel very nervous. Hopefully they prove me wrong.

Aurelio definitely should be starting. Let's hope for the best.

Come on you MIGHTY REDS!!

Am nervous lads

1-0 own goal will do.

3 or half 3 kick off?

Need a early goal to settle nerves and 2nd to feel happy....

I hope Lucas and Dossena have good games, they both deserve some credit.

Come on you redmen!!!!

Bellamy Robinho

They've got a right back at right mid, a centre mid at left mid and an extremely average defence.

We should be winning this.

C'MON YOU REDS.

Formation and Line-up:

Hard to see where the "craft" will come from in midfield but...... cometh the hour cometh the man.....I hope.

'Mon the Reds.
