Liverpool v Arsenal - Pre Match Thread

Yeah this one is easy, we need to win as simple as that

But we can and we allhave belief in the boys

YNWA

Even a weakend Arsenal will be better than Blackburn. But I think the boys are really focused now far more than earlier on in the season. I think they genuinely believe they can now win every match and if they do UTD will drop points and we will win the league. So even though Stevie is out I like this new confidence in our team and I see a comfortable win , we have the hunger back.

am i still correct in think Van Persie and Adebayor aren't playing in this match?

yea your right they're out

I'm looking forward to this game, I think we'll do it

What time is kick-off in this game its not on the first post?

8pm

We need to win all our outstanding games starting this evening.  If we can carry the momentum forward I don't see any reason why we shouldn't win in the same manner we did against United.

Neck sticking out time.

If we win well tonight we will win the premiership.

I either had a dodgy curry last night or I am really nervous about tonights game. I do think we are capable of winning by a 2 goal margin. I just hope that dodgy curry does not get to the lads as well.

3 points tonight and the pressure is back on old Red Nose tomorrow

Just leaving for the game come on you reds 2 nil tonight .

Safe Journey Andy, I must say your looking rather Wroof in your Avatar picture

I go along with oldred on this, a win tonight and we should win the title. On paper it's a tough game but it obvious Wenger is putting all his stock in the CL and I expect a few to be rested, and tonight with the way we are playing I can see only one winner.

For Arsenal this would have been tough test with his best out on the pitch so he's Rotating, oh I forgot it's only rotating when Rafa does it, for us it's vital we win with any sort of score, not long now. COME ON YOU REDS......

Safe journey Andy.

Well I am also a bit nervous about this one tonight, despite Arsenal looking under strength they are more then capable of causing us grief.

But on the other hand given the dissapointment of the Champions League and the league all to play for I am sure the boys will be pumped.

Come on you Reds!!!

I guess as each game comes now the pressure does increase. But I really think we will win tonight and win well, There is a confidence in this team that is genuine and I have not seen it for nearly 20 years.Ferguson also knows this and is sh*t scared his master plan of beating LFC's record in the league and in Europe and then retiring is now in serious doubt hence the tirade of abuse hurled at a very dignifed Rafa. So come on you Red men 3 points tonight and fergie wont sleep well ahead of a difficult game against Portsmouth tomorrow.

I think 3-1 to us tonight but do not under estimate Arsenal. They may play for a point and just defend with the odd counter. (a tactic that we have had trouble with in the past.)

I think Fergie is looking at his run in and thinking 'oh my god we could drop quite a few points'

Andy you are a lucky man enjoy your self and sing your f***in heart out for the boys.

Really, really nervous now. Theres still over 3 hours till kick off as well! If we get the right result tonight it will give us huge confidence to kick on and win the remaining five games.

Managed to get a cheeky ticket for this one from a friend, finish work at 5 then its straight to the pub (work in the Liver Building so its easy)

I think Yossi will get one tonight, it was 1-1 last time but i think 3-1 also

Tonight lets celebrate being top again and have shits and giggles watching Manure struggle to get a point against Portsmouth tomorrow

I hope everyone going tonight enjoys a great game and a great win taking us back to were we deserve to be top of the League.

Can't wait now, I'm feeling confident in the team.

Yeah I feel confident and also excited. I think that we will go at them al guns blazing. It's weird that we only have the Prem to concentrate on in April

Predicted team from me:

Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger, Insua, Alonso, Mascherano, Kuyt, Benayoun, Riera, Torres.

Arsenal are so full of energy with their youth.  We'll have to boss them with experience, this is where Maschs comes in.  I can see it being a tight game, but hopefully our lads with that extra bit of hunger.

Predicted team from me:

Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger, Insua, Alonso, Mascherano, Kuyt, Benayoun, Riera, Torres.

Why would Aurelio miss out?  He's got that ingenuity we need tonight.
