As long as we repeat our performance vs city we'll be alright. I'm not sure about any of our fit rb/rwb's though. That's the weak spot for me. I think they used fellatio out there vs spurs, which mitigates the problem slightly.
I couldn't give an arse about their players or what they're upto, if we play as we can, we'll demolish them.
We've not got another game for 13days after this one so we need to go out, press them insanely and run our bollocks off and kill ourselves for 90mins.

No game for 13 days?!
Fuck. That's some serious diy I'm gonna be doing in the next couple of weeks.
Got my new server to build & play with as well. Happy days.

Tbh I think most of this tactical talk is moot.
Rarely do games against Utd or Everton rely on tactics, it usually (cliché alert) is about who wants it more & who can keep their passion in check & working for them.

This. They talked about this at length in the studio over here.
He's clearly lacking in match fitness and you have to make a choice regarding that.
Play him into form or sub him when he's not playing well.
Sturridge is such a quality striker that its obvious playing him into form is the way to go, as long as we're winning.
He was much better in the 2nd half yesterday when we had a bit more controll and attacked with more options.
Shame he didnt score but he did score in our last home game in the league.
Would deffo start him against Utd.
M Balotelli Illness 22nd Mar
J Ibe LCL Knee Ligament Injury 28th Mar
J Enrique Knee Injury no return date
L Leiva Groin Strain 22nd Mar
B Jones Hip/Thigh Injury no return date
J Flanagan Knee Injury 4th Apr 15 (though I thought BR said he was back and ready) ?
Brad Jones was on the bench last night.
Playing through injury like the club legend he is.
I'm not sure I want Brendan to go down the whingey Mourinho route but I wouldn't mind him saying a few words about Felliani this week in the hope it has some slight influence on the officials. There's rarely a game I see Felliani in where he couldn't have been sent off if decisions were seen properly or differently.
Fellani will probably target Can..
Hopefully Can will come out on top on that one..

Ha. Home server. I'm pretty sure a lot of people have them (or a nas) now, over the next couple of years I imagine they'll be fairly commonplace.
My htpc (which in itself is an old gaming pc) is being used as a server currently. It's loud, runs hot & is misbehaving occasionally, so I've got an old server motherboard & cheap case to migrate my stuff into on a Ubuntu build & I'm gonna pick up a cheap atom 330 itx board for my htpc.
Anyway, this isn't the place for geek speak.
I hope Rodgers stops trying to squeeze all of Lallana, Sterling, Coutinho and Sturridge into the team. Competition for places is what it should be. If having just three of the four on the field works better for team balance, then do it that way.
Trying to fit everyone in by playing Lallana at RWB just weakens the defence on the right, and pulling Sterling back to RWB just reduces his involvement and weakens his contribution to our attack. Playing either one of them there takes them away from where they best do damage to opponents. It's just not a good move and I wish Rodgers would stop trying to force the issue.
I know Markovic hasn't been too good on the attacking end, but as others have said, he's actually improved and defended pretty decently - at least he puts in a shift. Until Ibe is fit, we should just keep going with him for now (or give Flanagan a turn when he's available, e.g. against Blackburn away).
Right now, my choice would be to go with Sturridge and Sterling in a two-up, with Sterling in Suarez's old role (i.e. workhorse up front + freedom to roam around), and with Coutinho behind them. Then stick Henderson and Allen behind Coutinho, alongside Moreno and Markovic.
To me, Lallana's gone a bit Kewell lately - he's clearly very talented and has great ability and good workrate, but he's also too bloody soft and a borderline pussy when it comes to physical play. He's got the pain threshold of Borini, and for someone who wants, sees and carries the ball a lot, that's a really bad thing for us. How many times have we seen this lately - one slight tap, clash or knock, and he's down on the pitch clutching an ankle, knee or thigh, possession's lost, no free kick earned, and we're a man light as the opponents come forward while he nurses a (phantom?) bruise on the pitch. It's the most frustrating part of watching him for me - more than the over indulgence in possession which irk some.
I really enjoy watching him play otherwise. Maybe he can be given some titanium knee guards, shinpads and ankle guards.

He's going to add Fellaini to his collection of opponents given bans for getting away in the game for messing with him.
You could just goto a uni and pick up a 3 or 4 year old server in an auction. Mostly they run well...and they cost about 50 bucks. I doubt it can get much cheaper than that.
Yeah I said this in the thread I wrote earlier. It doesn't work
We call ours a 'maid'. It's a bit retro to call them 'servers'. Hmm.
I've thought more about it.
Sterling will start at wing-back. United aren't gonna change a winning side dramatically, and that include keeping Blind at left-back with Young slightly ahead. Sterling up against Danny Blind. Blind. Sterling. BlindSterling. On the same wing. All aboard the rape express.

What do you think the score will be?
Or if you're feeling less adventurous, who do you think will win?
I didn't realize Daley's father had come out of retirement.
Couldn't agree more. He takes forever to distribute - but if Rogers didn't want that, he'd have changed it up. Not sure it's all Ming.
My jinxysense in tingling....
The jinxometer has hit boiling point...
The jinxdar is bleeping....
The Jinxy-Alarm is going nuts....
And my EJWS (Early Jinx Warning System) is about to deploy some big fucking missiles to eradicate all this jinxyness.

I thought another war had erupted between Israel & Palestine.
I initially read that as "my JEW is about to deploy some big fucking missiles"
We simply have to pump them after the away game.
I was 100% confident until I saw what they did to Spurs.
We have to score first to draw them out but I think we will.
I wouldn't start Lallana as he is a good option off the bench.
Ming
Can Skrtel Sahko
Markovic Moreno
Allen Hendo
Sterling Coutinho
Studge
Markovic is a better option at RWB than anyone else without wasting Sterling there.
