So the Arse then

[Holle]

Hahahaha.

Holle- you're a top top guy, you know that, I know that- we all know that. I'd know fucking nothing about Austria without you, other than Hitler came from there, and loads of people keep other people captive in basements there.

Which is boss!

Which is probably the only thing we're good at.

No, wait! Skiing! Phew...

Our strongest line up until we get to see what the Assidi lad can do.
I wonder is that how they will line up with Borini central flanked by Suarez and Sterling?

If we have a plan on how we attack and create chances for Borini that would make sense. But our main plan seems to be to get the ball to Suarez and let him take it from there. So unless Rodgers takes leave of his senses for the second time in three days, I fully expect Suarez to play as our striker.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

We win today and we're up to seventh, which would be a decent start given who we've had to play. And we'd be ahead of a few of our rivals.

We lose, we will have a bit of ground to make up, but plenty of time to do it.


I suspect we'll draw.

 

[Delinquent]

Is this Sahin lad any good?

He's a teency bit special. Hopefully he shows Arsenal how silly they were to let him go today.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Good to see that Mr Rodgers has picked the side i suggested.

I'm 60% sure that we'll win today.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Best team we could hoped for, looking forward to this one.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Good luck Redmen!

 

[Brizzle]

Bit of history between Sahin and Podolski..

 

[SummerOnions]

Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Allen, Sahin, Gerrard, Sterling, Borini, Suarez. Subs: Jones, Carragher, Shelvey, Downing, Henderson, Kelly, Coates.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Good team, awful bench.

 

[OLD_Lewy]

good to see sterling getting another start, he's going to have a great season

 

[the count]

Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Allen, Sahin, Gerrard, Sterling, Borini, Suarez. Subs: Jones, Carragher, Shelvey, Downing, Henderson, Kelly, Coates.

That is not a very inspiring bench if we need a goal.
No sign of Assidi

 

[Brizzle]

3 defenders on the bench? Very negative, hopefully we don't get an injury with an attacker.

 

[barrymac20]

Must be waiting for ramadan to be over before he plays. When is that?
Worrying that we've no strikers on the bench

 

[barrymac20]

By the way, sahin is going to score today

 

[Red Astaire]

Better than Lucas, some say.

News just in - Several members of RAWK just spontaneously combusted! 😱

ramadan is over mate -

this is a very good team - we can beat them, and will do so ...

Very negative? Are you serious? Did you not see the starting eleven.

I'm liking the cut of your jib sir.

Maybe he's till not fit enough because it though. Surely he'd be on bench by now if he was fit

 

[RedZeppelin III]

i'm confused why people are pointing out that we've no strikers on the bench . We only have 2 of sorts and they are both on the pitch . Morgan is miles from being able to play a game of this quality . Who are people expecting to see on the bench ?

 

[the_dude]

he's in my fantasy football team so he better score about 5

 

[LeTallecWiz]

You win today with benches. Now Oussama means not explosive options off the bench.

 

[the count]

Perhaps we have so many defenders on the bench for the purpose of bringing them on for our attackers at sixty minutes, when we are leading 4-0, to close the game out.

There's three defenders on the bench, I kind of agree to a point, but to have no one of any real attacking intent on the sidelines is stupid.

 

[RedZeppelin III]

Carroll , kuyt , Bellamy could all play up front ...we let them all go and replaced them with borini . It's amazing how poor people at liverpool are at doing their job.

 

[OLD_Lewy]

No sign of Assidi

forgot about him, wonder what thats about? we really need him at least on the bench surely

Yeah i know but i don't think its rodgers being negative with the bench. He hasn't much more choice assuming assaidi isn't fit

I agree ... I think Oussama will be there soon though. And Llorente in Jan obviously ... I'm off folks - the season starts today, and Arsenal will be looking up at us when it's over. COME ON YOU REDS!
