Liverpool FC 2:0 Valencia - Pre, Match & Post game thread.

Cannot wait

I voted 2, but I am hoping for a similar goalfest to the Malaysian game

I voted 3, we need consistency this year. 

You reckon the spaniard may just be at the ground to commentate?as they both are his previous clubs.

Valencia will give us a stern test and i guess kenny will start with a strong 11.

I would love it if they had Rafa in to commentate!  He helped the club to some great times, and he should be remembered for those!

I think we will see our strongest lineup barring the inclusion of Suarez, Gerrard, and Skrtel.  

             Pepe
Kelly  Carra  Agger  Johno
             Lucas
      Hendo    Adam
  Kuyt     Carrol    Downing


*  It will be very interesting to see what part (if any) Aquilani plays in this game.  This would, in theory, be a good opportunity to put him on display with the other members of the 1st team, and showcase his skills against top competition to help secure a good transfer fee for him.  At the same time, I could see Kenny wanting to use this game as a true competitive warm up for the team that will be with us for the entire season.  If Kenny decides to start Aqua, or give him plenty of minutes, it will certainly bring up the question of whether Kenny has him in his plans, or if he is just putting him on display for potential suitors.  

Edit:  Almost forgot..... 3-1 to the mighty Reds!!!  YNWA

This will be a good test for the lads, and hopefully were getting closer to the team The King will be playing more of this coming season (certain players excluded, obviously ), but still be a good one and certainly the last "practice" before the real deal, so lets hope we can do us all (mostly the "doomsayers") a favour and play as we should at home, and kick start what should turn out to be to be a great season for us all!!!!

"us all" meaning who wear red......or blue if you really have too

I'll take an optomistic stance on this.................5-0 first half scoreline....

Finally a good start time for us west coast Yanks! 

Can't wait, hoping for a good showing 

I say we give Mata one more chance to sign for us, and if he refuses we should start Sotis with the instructions "to express himself" around their number 10.

I think we may concede one goal,i'd also play Aquilani as he has the flair and skill to threaten a spanish team , i'm hoping we are going to play our first team at some point

I can't wait for him to rip off her Valencia shirt showing his liverpool one in the second half :p

Should be a good match this. I expect a strong team (not just because I'm going!) but Valenica is going to be a good test for us and we need to field our strongest possible XI.

The intuitive powers of yours truly, the Great Soxfani, predict that we will...



...concede THREE goals in this friendly! 

HIYOOOOOOO!

Right no more mucking about Kenny, play the side (minus Suarez) that is likely to start against Sunderland next week. Give them all a minimum of 60 mins, forget the fringe players (they've spent enough time in the shop window) and don't worry about blooding anymore young-ins. I just wanna see a clean sheet and evidence that these guys still know how to defend. Hoping to see us press the ball and dominate posession plus play with a good tempo. Am hoping we go with:

Reina, back four of Johnson, Carra, Agger, Robinson, midfield of Lucas, Adam, Henderson with Dirk and Downing out wide and Carroll up top.

Rumours of Aqua starting.. !!

I'd be surprised if he does dude

Missing this as I'm at work, but will be on the text updates in my break.

16:30    This Is Anfield Live: Valencia
Join us at Anfield as Liverpool take on Valencia in their final pre-season outing

Christ, its like cracking the Da Vinci code trying to work our whether or not they're actually showing the match live. So many different bloody things telling you different sh*te.

On ESPN, as far as I'm aware it's not being shown on the .tv channel.

I think we will win this one comfortably. All the pieces will fall nicely into place and we will start to show the form we will be taking into the new season. Strongest available team, good strong performance, and a good finish to our pre-season 2-0, possibly more if we keep our best players on for more than 60 mins.

No prisoners...... THIS is Anfield.   

Rafa's gunna be at the match today apparently

Looking forward to a positive performance from the lads today, getting excited for my first time at Anfield this season, it never fades, always get butterflies before any game.

Should be a hard one for us this, want to see some all the players giving 100% ready for next Saturday.
Off in a minute so hope everyone enjoys the match.   Come on you REDS !!!
