Again he proved he was a red, Torres Torres
He put the transfer talks to bed, Torres Torres
He told Roy Hodgson where he stands
He loves the club and he loves the fans
Fer nan do Tor res, Liverpool’s number 9

That is kwa-li-tee

Did the Kop sing that last week?

Yep, but you'll doubtless hear it better at today's game cos the travelling fans are louder. On tv at least.

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Or tomorrow?

 

[FoxForceFive]

Haha, yeah, I doubt the mancs'll be singing it! I'm in a field hungover if it's any excuse.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe?]

Haha great adaptation!

 

[Paddy]

Reina, Johnson, Carra, Skrtel, Aurelio, Masch, Poulsen, Kuyt, Gerrard, Jova, Torres

 

[SummerOnions]

Got a good sauce for that one?

If so, it's gonna be a wank game.

 

[monsieurdantes]

poulsen was flapping his gums about how we need to be careful of mario. so now he can live up to his words can't he

Does poulsen have any attacking capabilities, because if not the lack of creativity in that side really worries me.

 

[El Nino]

I hear that Mascherano is doubtful for this game. Is it true?

No

 

[zlatan18]

my prediction of the team on the other page was right 🙂

I dont think thats a bad team at all. We are playing man city away, so even if we end up getting a draw off them, its not such a bad result

 

[mark1975]

It'll be interesting to see if Masher plays, with these reports of a Barca bid and talks taking place.

What would you like to change? That is our best XI with Cole suspended imo.

Has Redshrek posted a team yet?

If everyone is fit that is probably our best team (minus Cole), although Aurelio was fucking SHIT against Trabs, so I'd be tempted to play Agger instead (who is a far better defender).

I must admit that I'm rather nervous about this game. Everyone's having a pop at Mancini and going about how negative they are. It'd be just like us to capitulate and give a team the "kick-start" and "belief"they need in a season. I fear a beating.

cf Spurs last season.

 

[spider-Neil]

the emphasis will be aurelio and johnson to get the ball to gerrard and torres becuase mash and poulsen will be a creativity vacuum.

to be fair that was aurelio's first game, including pre-season.

Yep. Gerrard as CM instead of Poulsen (obviously) and Cole as attacking cm. We need a lb, that is clear.

Atleast he could have given it a shot! A big mistake imo...but Aquilani probably wanted to leave aswell.

Someone at SCM must fix this problem when quoting! A can´t see shit what I´m writing because the screen jumps up when typing.

 

[spider-Neil]

when you have two CM who will give next to nothing going forwards, surely you are giving the opposition the platform to dictate the game because even if/when you win the ball you'll do nothing with it.

 

[singlerider]

Not when you've got attacking fullbacks Neil!

heh heh, oh, touché

well, let's hope they are allowed to attack.

 

[dmishra]

This is going to be an ugly game. Mascherano and Poulsen are going to offer zero to little creativity. Kuyt and Jovanovic are also extremely non-creative wingers. Hope for a moment of brilliance from Torres or Gerrard to win it.

 

[RolandG]

I don't care too much how ugly the game is, as long as we win it and bag the 3 points. I can't wait for tonight!

 

[jan]

City playing Yaya and De Jong in midfield won't make the match any prettier either, heh

 

[gene hughes]

Does anyone else really want to punch Mancini?
