Hull City v Liverpool - pre match thread

That's a bit harsh isn't it? Surely a nice 4-0 or 5-0 win will do for us?....

Just depends. Right now, I'm more concerned about Gerrard's testicular region. He needs to wear looser trousers when in the company of Richard 'WolfBoy' Keys.

After everything we been through since Madrid and the Mankers lets not banana skin on this one.

I reckon 9-0 for the reds, with the most surprising thing is that we will not concede a goal.

Your not Simon from Leicester are you?

I'm sure all the girls on here....and probably some of the lads too if we're being honest, will be ready to compete with you for saying that.

I'm pretty concerned how Pepe is going to make sure he handles those incoming balls though. We've conceded too many goals lately. We have to be solid at the back.

4:4 again or 5:5 this time...

That's the spirit.

My team against Hull                               Reina
                               Arbeloa Carragher Skrtel  Aurelio
                                  Mascherano Alonso  Lucas
                               Benayoun  Torres   Reira

Insua in for Aurelio, Babel for riera. Skrtel for agger. Yossi deserves to be in the starting line up too.

         Reina
Arby Carra skrtel insua
       Masch
          Xabi
Kuyt     Yossi     Babel
          nando
This would be my lineup.

How can you not include Kuyt after the preformance he gave against arsenal?

Must win game this one !! settle for a 1-0 win for us ,i'd also include sami to partner carra in the heart of the defence ,insua  must play the lad for me gets better every game ,tipping nando to score again ,he's shown everyone he's not a one season wonder imo,would also leave stevie out for this one as he won't be fully fit and play masch and xabi together .really can't see us losing this one

I think that we will batter them. I am going for 6-0 all the way.

Must win, simple as that. That doesn't change no matter who is playing in a Red shirt at the weekend, so I'm not gonna debate on who should be in or out the side because we need to win regardless.

Not much more to say, just waiting for the match itself to arrive now.

Stevie to be on the bench at least.....

goals are needed and also an clean sheet........ 0-3

Lets pile the pressure on and give ourselves a chance. United look nervous and fatigued. We have to take every point left this season to have any chance at the title. Any scoreline would do aslong as we get 3 points and put the pressure on united. No matter who you are or how good you are in this day and age fatigue and pressure will play a part in your performance. United will have to endure both if we stick to our side of it by getting 3 points at Hull. Stevie could well be right. Are there some twists and turns left in the title race? nothing is ever straight forward when we win trophies and its in our clubs DNA to fight all the way. CMON REDMEN YNWA

Hopefully the inflammation on Gerrard's testes will have soothed enough that he can close his legs. Because otherwise, he won't be able to run and therefore he won't be able to play

I'm not the only one who noticed then!!

Been watching Jamie Redknapp too much Stevie!!

As many goals as possible. It's getting towards that time of the season where it really starts to matter.

cnt wait  for the game.

I think we are going to pulverise them. Score 4 or 5 hopefully with a nice clean sheet for Pepe thrown in for good measure!

3 points thank you.

And please, no more last second scoring to win or heaven forbid to equalise.

I'm just about spent for this season.

Dont think Insua could be starting this one, he had a fair share of 2 first team start. More likely Aurelio.

I wouldn't be surprised if Insua played this game with Aurelio playing mid-week, he played well away to Fulham a couple of weeks ago. I would think we would see

- - - - - - - - - - - - Pepe - - - - - - - - - - - -
Arboloa - - - Skrtel - - - Carra - - - - Insua
- - - - - - - - Alonso - - - Javi - - - - - - - -
Kuyt - - - - - - - - Yossi - - - - - - - - Riera
- - - - - - - - - - - Torres - - - - - - - - - - -

Hull need the points so the consensus is they will come out and attack which will suit us.

I don't think they will.  I think they will park a bus in their own half, try and frustrate us and knock long balls up to a lone striker in the hope of getting something.

We will need an early goal to scupper that scenario so we need to start with a high tempo.

In God and Torres we trust.
