Liverpool VS Arsenal pre match talk

Not open for further replies.
Isn't the latest that Poulsen can't sign until we've sold Mascher because the club just doesn't have the money? And if Lucas is coming back late from the US, I don't see that we've got any choice but to play Mascher. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't let us down: he's a big-game player. And besides, who are the alternatives - Spearing? Aquilani? Shelvey? Fuck that.
 
Masch wanted out last season too, I'm confident he'd give it his all even if he'd rather be doing ball practice in Spain/Italy. We need to dominate the midfield and harass Arsenal, it has his name written all over it.
 
I'd prefer him to play, but I can't see Hodgson wanting to risk it any more than Mascher himself.
 
------------------Reina------------------
Johnson-Carragher-Skrtel-Kelly
Kuyt-Gerrard-Lucas-Jovanovic

If Agger and Aurelio aren´t injured now, they´ll probably hurt themselves before Sunday.

We will win.
2-0.

He did, but he agreed to stay a year.

(This transfer should have been in the pipeline since last season, but that's another story)

NOt sure what his state of mind would be now, and as has been mentioned before he wasnt playing very well in the early part of last season, probably because he was still thinkg of leaving.

I think he'd be a lot worse now.

This sucks though, sometimes it seems like the big clubs are willing to pay whatever the selling club wants, unless the selling club is Liverpool.

We must look like total patsies to some of them.

Someone should tell Mascher that obviously he isnt so highly in demand since no one seems to want to make an offer.
 
I think Larry's team is closest to what it is, we need to play the fittest players for this even if they're not the best. fortunately Cole and Gerrard have had some minutes so I think we can do them

Mash can bugger off

Let's chuck Poulsen in straight away and fuck Lucas off

See you're already warming towards him mate...

Christian Poulsen is a fucking saint. We all love him already.

Agger was only out for two days, Aurelio is fit too so except for Torres no other worries.

On an Arsenal forum the consensus seems to be this :

-------------------Alumunia
------Sagna Koscielny Vermaelen Clichy
-----------------------Song
--------------------Nasri--Diaby
Rosicky (Eboue / Wilshere)------------------Arshavin
----------------Chamakh

and their injuries etc are like this :

Bendtner, Ramsey. Definitely out.

Fabregas, RVP. Very very slim chances of starting. May be they'll be on bench.

Song, Diaby, Denilson. Haven't played a single pre-season match. So, nobody's sure if they'll start or not.
 
[quote author=TheBunnyman link=topic=41378.msg1152209#msg1152209 date=1281534241]
I have a bad feeling Chamakh will score against us.
[/quote]

I think we'll score three ... so 3-1 will do me for starters.

I read that Fabregas, Song, Denilson, Nasri are all out injured.
RVP will play. I forgot they had Arshavin, balls. We'll still win.

You mean you've been reading 365 (news congregator) ..... I took the above from an Arsenal forum (guess they could be wrong but an awful lot of them said exactly as is written above).

Maxi should be first choice on the right.
[/quote]

midfielders rather than strikers on the wing? that's kind of wacky thinking just might work.

Between Maxi, Kuyt & Pacheco I guess (Jova on the LW) so take your pick. I like Maxi but think Kuyt will get the nod - especially since we are going to have to work hard to get the ball back whenever we lose possession.

If Skrtel is fit the Greek will not start ahead of him.
 
The reason I want the Greek to play is that I have no faith at all in the Skrtel-Carragher partnership.
Against Arsenal they look like a massive liability.l
Kyrgiakos was in IMO our best defender last season. He even chipped in with a couple of goals.
We don't score enough goals from corners so I think having Kyrgiakos on the pitch adds another offensive threat to the opposition.
 
Arsenal would try and hurt us on the deck with Kyrgiakos in the team. He is more suited to the Bolton's of the world.

No disrespect to The Greek obviously.
 
Id be very surprised if you dont win this one.

Theres talk of Fabianski starting and being our number one. If he does you could win quite handsomely and i may just give up.

He is. But that 25 minute flight from Dublin rarely causes enormous jet-lag.

Aha, fair enough. Hadn't realised they were playing in Ireland.
