Wigan v Liverpool match thread.

[TheBunnyman]

If it wasn't for Torres, I'd say this game has 0-0 written all over it. Given that we have the best striker in the world playing for us, though, and that they have Chris Kirkland in goal, I fancy us to win.

I don't have any problem with Mascher playing RB. Seems slightly unfair on Kelly perhaps, but Mascher is brilliant in that position and it means we have someone who can pass the ball properly in CM, which is always a bonus. It also means we have Yossi playing in his best position. I quite like that team really, apart from the weak, short, slow, all-Argentine left flank.

Agreed. And the shit, slow, weak, rubbish "Brazilian" in CM.

 

[MaBigTip]

At least Maradona picks Mascher + 10; cause I'm now convinced Rafa picks Lucas + 10

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Lucas has been playing better than Aquilani though

In the hole?

Im expecting Yossi to start on the right with Kuyt supporting/partnering Torres.

Maradona once said in a interview his team selections are based on the notion of Mascherano plus 10 others.

You do persist with this, he has only had 4 starts. Lucas must have had 25-30 all season.

 

[Skullflower]

i really do love the way maxfree starts ahead of babel and riera - who cost 25 million pounds.

 

[MaBigTip]

yeah especially when he starts at LW when he is a RW and a darn good one too as opposed to any of our others who are not.

[franklyfrank]

I support all our players but seeing Insua's name in any Liverpool team sheet fills me with fear.

The kid's plainly not good enough and is out of his depth in every single match.

A complete liability.

It's not very often I agree with your posts, but this one I do.

You're all miserable fuckers, the match hasnt even kicked off yet & you're all fucking doom mongering (sp) already. Can we try not to fuck up the entire match thread by doing nothing but moan about the team selection this time.

 

[franklyfrank]

Is it just me or does the day seem to drag like nothing normal when we're playing a night time game?

I finished work at 3 but today is going painfully slow and i just wish the match kicked off in 5 minutes.

Hate the waiting about. >🙁

Do I?

I'm in no way a Lucas fan, but Aquilani has been utterly woeful, whereas Lucas has improved recently.

10.5 + 7.5 = what?

 

[Skullflower]

was riera really that cheap?

i thought babel cost 12 and riera 11 odd.

 

[SummerOnions]

Babel was £10.5M

and having checked wiki Riera was £8M.

 

[Farkmaster]

Your parents shell out for two expensive toys you say you wanted, now watch in horror as you play with a free one, just because it's new.

 

[MaBigTip]

3 expensive toys.

I thought this game started 1 my time, not 2:55 gonna have pause stop watching to get to my stupidly easy quiz 🙁

Can the box play on the left?

 

[Mamma Mia]

Allow me to be the first to congratulate Torres on a fine hattrick.

 

[Farkmaster]

And yes, come on you reds. It's my birthday, and it's sadly a Monday, and the assclowns at work have forced me to watch a three hour webex session which I will be drinking through. Don't ruin this for me.

11 + 7 = 18million.
That is the figures I used.

 

[franklyfrank]

So does anyone know the starting line up(confirmed)?

Can't get on the official for whatever reason.
