Pre-Match: Aston Villa v Liverpool

Gerrard has scored more against Villa than anyone else. Is he to to continue this trend tonight?

Plus Nando only needs one more goal to crack the fastest 50 for Liverpool...

Hope so and hope so!

On TV aswell, can't wait.

Come on, Reds.

Get them 3 vital points and re-shape our season.

Wonder how many times I've posted that

Come on Redmen. We are 4 hours out and I'm nervous as hell! YNWA

Buzzing already!

Come on you Reds!

Im up for this one lads. Second half of the season. Let's show them what Liverpool Football Club is capable of.

START Aquilani

Who?

Happy Birthday hardcore soldier!!  Best of Luck Liverpool!!  Please lets end 2009 in a high!!  Yeaahhhh Babyyyy!!!

Cheers mate. Opened all my presents today, but the biggest present i'll get will be 3 points for my beloved Liverpool. I've even brought my birthday meal forward so i can get home in time for kick off. Aquilani has to start tonight, he showed against Wolves that he can handle the rough stuff, and you can see by the way he approaches the game that he loves to play football. The lad is chomping at the bit and he wants to play every single second. I feel his enthusiasm will rub off on a lot of our players, we need positive players at the moment and he is one of them.

Wouldn't mind if he played Aquilani in the hole and dropped the G back in the middle for this one. With Ashley Young apparently out through suspension, i can't see Villa offering much more than a long ball game. We have to attack, attack and attack. Villa are there for the taking, so let's rip them a new arsehole lads.

Who?

I know mate, that nickname is so F***ing cheesy, it makes me physically sick.

Happy Birthday to you hardcoresoldier!

I can't imagine how hyped up are you for this, the lads better play up to your standard today!

Just under 4 hours, and I need to get some sleep first!

Cheers mate, thank you. Make sure you don't sleep through your alarm, you don't want to miss the dawn of a new era! That new era starts at 19:45 hrs this evening, be there!

It's about on par with 'the G'.

Lets have another 5-0 win over them!

I'd settle for a 1-0 win, but I like your thinking.

Good point mate, got sucked in there didn't i? It's called sarcasm.

Maybe Rafa would start as follows :-

Reina
Glen-Carra-Agger-Insua
Lucas-Aurelio
Kuyt-Gerrard-Yossi
Torres

It's ok, you're allowed. It's your birthday.

Same but i want to win in style

Using Aurelio for me makes us a much more solid team, maybe do this:

Reina
Johnson Carra Agger Insua
Yossi Aquilani Lucas Aurelio
Gerrard Nando

Bench: El Zhar, Pacheco, N'Gog, Kuyt, Doss and Skrtel?

I bet everyone on the forum a pound that we don't win tonight.

It worked last time I did it against Wigan, it'll work again now. Come on REDMEN!

It's ok, you're allowed. It's your birthday.

Thank you kind sir. Much appreciated. Now let's go and F***ing tonk the Villans.

Any win would be a great result especially against the 'Villa who don't forget beat us at Anfield earlier on in the season. I am not bothered about the scoreline as long as the Reds secure the three points.

Thank you kind sir. Much appreciated. Now let's go and f**king tonk the Villans.

INdeed. And I agree, Aquilani should definitely play in the "G-Spot", with Gerrard further back.

We'll wait and see.

If Alberto isn't fit I think we might go for something like this:

                 Reina

Johnson Carragher Agger Insua

Benayoun Gerrard Lucas Aurelio

            Torres Kuyt

So looking forward to this tonight off down dads a few beers and the game.
