Big chance for Babel this too.

 

[aquaman4]

If i remember we played 3-4-3 against a steve bruce side birmingham few years back and won by 8-0 or something

 

[Jack D Rips]

How can Riera not get into that team?

Played 90 mins on wednesday in a meaningless match for Spain. That means he's fucked for a week...

Haha.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Dirk needs to take control of this

 

[Ryan]

Question:

By not selecting Mascherano today, is Rafa prioritising the Champions League game on Wednesday over the Premier League game today?

Yeah, I'll go with that. :-\

That's what I'm thinking.

 

[aquaman4]

maybe he blames masch for the defeat

 

[livvy145]

Mascherano and Insua are being rested after only getting back yesterday.

Huge game in Uruguay, sapping both energy and emotions - followed by a long long flight back to Liverpool ?

No. Masher isn't really fit for today.

 

[Farkmaster]

Wow. Expecting us to drown a bit, hope I'm wrong.

Neither did Insua.

Big bonus with Villa beating Chelsea 2-1

Ah but Lucas is BRAZILIAN !

 

[Hansern]

I thought Mascher and Insua flew directly to Sunderland for Argentina. That probably why they're both on the bench.

Lucas got back yesterday and played 90 mins on wednesday.

 

[Mamma Mia]

Johnson will score at least once.

 

[Ryan]

The fucking state of our strip.

 

[aquaman4]

black and gold get in hope ferdinand scores an own goal

 

[ibromurph]

Can't see where the goals are gonna come from today.

Benayoun maybe? Kuyt rebound?

Not much creativity in the side. We need to win this especially after Chelsea's defeat.

 

[iseered]

Please share links if you got any. Scanning the intertoobs now myself for a good one.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

it's not as bad as the grey and red against arsenal last year though. or the white socks against portsmouth that time

 

[Ryan]

4-4-2.

Sopcast channel - 65179 has potential...
