Hate that lineup. Gerrard will be able to have a good game if he does his usual oof popping up anywhere and everywhere - which is the #1 reason why I like him on the right - because it's in name only.

If he sticks out wide then we have no chance.

No Torres, Agger, Alonso makes for a fairly average Liverpool side.

Oh God, I hate these games.

4 central midfielders? its a bit of the Arsenal

retired_jennifer89889 · 10-20-2007, 01:37 PM

Well I wouldn't really class Benayoun as a central midfielder, he's been a wide player for us exclusively so far - and Gerrard's played out wide a lot.

As I said, if Gerrard just has a license to roam and get involved wherever when attacking (like he naturally does), then I like him being out wide. But if he's being the Gerrard of the last few weeks, where he hardly looks bothered, then we'll have just about nothing going forward.

Oh I dunno, 99% of our chances this game depends on if our players are mentally up for it, and I can't predict that.

<BLOCKQUOTE>Tim Cahill and Thomas Gravesen have failed to make the squad for today's Merseyside derby.

Yakubu returns to the attack alongside Victor Anichebe, with James McFadden having to settle for a place on the bench. Joleon Lescott returns to left-back with Leighton Baines on the substitute's bench. Alan Stubbs will partner Joseph Yobo in the heart of defence, with Tony Hibbert at right-back and a midfield occupied by Phil Neville, Phil Jagielka, Mikel Arteta and Leon Osman.

The bench includes Steven Pienaar, Lee Carsley, Stefan Wessels and Baines along with Baines and McFadden.

Cahill and Gravesen have been nearing a return to action after getting back into full training but David Moyes has chosen not to throw them back in for the pressure cooker of the Merseyside derby.

McFadden on the bench /o\. Anichebe starting /o\.

What a rubbish, rubbish pile of *****. Played Moyes, we'll lose now. </BLOCKQUOTE>

That is a rather **** lineup.

Baines on for Stubbs at half time no doubt.

retired_traci29 · 10-20-2007, 01:48 PM

pretty **** lineup from us but at least rafa's noticed gerrard and momo are **** in centre mid together.

i think masch got back late last night and so hasn't trained. plus gerrard will probably worry too much about chipping a fingernail to play well. oh and our three best players are injured.

getting the excuses in early tbh. have everton scored yet?
