Sunderland V Liverpool MATCH THREAD

[Ryan]

Where's Livvy with the team news?

We'll win 1-0 in case you haven't heard.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

hang on, this match thread isn't "Official"

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

It's a Greaty Market match thread.

 

[Ryan]

This is the match thread, this one. If I can throw Tim's shoe over the top of the pub, then my match thread wins, right?

 

[SaintGeorge67]

I guess it will be Albert left, Yossi middle and Kuyt/Babel right (with the other one up front)?

 

[Foxwold]

Spearing starts

 

[livvy145]

Reina
Carragher
Skrtel
Agger
Johnson
Spearing
Lucas
Aurelio
Babel
Benayoun
Kuyt

 

[SaintGeorge67]

What a chance for Spearing.

 

[Hansern]

WOW, is that the team. Lucas and Spearing in central midfield. This will be a massive test

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Agger LB or Carra?

 

[Skullflower]

is this a carling cup game?

Or maybe Babel wide right, and Benayoun in the hole?
Or possibly Babel and Benayoun up front?
Spearing right back, Carra in midfield?
Aurelio in midfield?

FUCK KNOWS.

 

[livvy145]

Subs: Cavalieri, Voronin, Riera, Mascherano, Insua, Ngog, Kelly.

I think.

 

[Ryan]

How can Riera not get into that team?

 

[aquaman4]

3 .4.3 with two wing backs i bet we win 2 -1

He had a poor game against ivanovich

 

[Squiggles]

The only plus I see is it's a good system to ease Agger back in.

We're very defensive minded so I don't expect a high scoring game.

The last time I can remember that we played 3 center backs was against Newcastle away a couple of years ago and we scored a bunch.

We played it away to Portsmouth last year I think.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

I take it Aquilani's not on the bench?
