Liverpool v Reading Match Thread

ALONSO BACK VERSUS READING
 
New dad Xabi Alonso is back for this afternoon's clash with Reading as Rafa Benitez makes two changes from the side that triumphed in the San Siro. 
Alvaro Arbeloa replaces Sami Hyypia in the only other change.
 
The Liverpool team in full is:

Reina, Aurelio, Arbeloa, Skrtel, Carragher, Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard, Babel, Kuyt, Torres:
Subs: Itandje, Riise, Hyypia, Crouch, Benayoun. 


Good strong line up... I think I'll go for a 4-0

The team for today's game against Reading is:

Reina, Aurelio, Arbeloa, Skrtel, Carragher, Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard, Babel, Kuyt, Torres

Subs....Itandje, Riise, Hypia, Crouch, Benayoun

Come on Liverpool, another three points required today.

Xabi....a nice goal from you today to wet the baby's head please

2-0

 

3 - 0 for me.

They deserve a good bending over, Reading do.

Good decent side. Only Hyypia and Lucas 'rested'.

Should batter these lot today.

I can't stand Reading, I think they like to bully teams off the ball.

I'm going for just a 2 - 0 scoreline to us. Dirk Kuyt to get the two, Torres will be rather dried up today. Just remember even the best of players have a bad game now and then and I can sense one from El Nino today.

Liverpool 2 - 0 Reading
Kuyt x2

And the predictions, according to the LFC Prediction League, are:

3-0      Percentage 35.8% [14]
2-0    Percentage 17.9% [7]
3-1    Percentage 15.3% [6]
4-0    Percentage 15.3% [6]
4-1    Percentage 7.6% [3]
5-0    Percentage 5.1% [2]
1-0    Percentage 2.5% [1]

Sod it we are going to win 6 - 0 today.
Torres x4
Gerrard x2

 

NOT!

Kuyt hat-trick?

Kuyt hat-trick?

40/1. Apparently.

Whilst Torres hat-trick?..... Anyone?.....







9/1.

Sod it we are going to win 6 - 0 today.
Torres x4
Gerrard x2

 

NOT!

Are you trying to jinx us?!
I would have left Torres out today myself and put Babel up top, other than that, I'm happy with the team, should be able to get the job done.

Think the Reds will get their 100th goal of the season in this game, 4-0 to the Reds. Don't care who scores as long as we do!

Pumped. Excited. Cant wait. 3-0 to the men in red!

Torres gets 7 in 3, the sign to drop him to bench? I think not! Another 4 will do me for Nando.

I just feel that he needs a rest before the big games we got coming up!

Im confident well get that 100 goals for the season today

Definitley, playing against Arsenal 3 times in 12 days will require a lot of energy, a lot more than usuall.

Still the 16th of March, play them the weekend of the 22nd - 23rd. I say give the key guys some rest from training during the week to keep them fresh to play as much as possible.

Everton an the mancs before that also.

He's a young lad.  He has been playing for our last god knows how many games and is getting better and better and better.

If he was a 30 year old striker then maybe, but he isn't.

What about Gerrard then? He must have played nearly every game this season.  Is he looking tired?

3-0 to Liverpool. A goal from new dad xabi and a brace from that man Fernando Torres

As the game edges closer, i closed my live stream. ARGH!!!!

I don't know how Kuyt gets a game.

Has Rafa got a thing for blondes?

Liverpool doing all the pressing - Le Tiss.
