Not really first choice defence - no Vidic, no Rafael and Rio only just back to fitness. I think it's mainly down to the fact that this is the first time Rio and Jones have ever (IIRC) played together in central defence. Jones and Rio have always been subbed on for each other, which implies they probably don't make a good partnership when played together in training.

EDIT: And also the first time Fabio and Jones have played in the same team. I think when Vidic is back the defence will be much better organised.

Not watch the game at the weekend then?

Didn't they play together last week against Stoke? Sure they did, as Evans got injured in the warm up.

3-2 Basel, got to be disappointed with that mate? Still time to turn it round but shouldn't be happening really, with a £50m centre half partnership, at home.

You'd have thought they'd make a good partnership, but I always thought that about Ferdinand and Terry, which never really worked out, even if it looked awesome on paper!

Ah you're right they did - didn't exactly impress in that game either tho'. Not sure Rio is fully fit to be honest - looks like he might be playing purely cos all our other defenders are out injured.

Good old Berb, of course. Did a job against Leeds.
 
I'm now looking forward to October 15th, its going to be a bloodbath. There is going to be one team that wears red that is going to get one hell of a beating...it isn't Liverpool. If Liverpool don't beat this shower of ****e to a pulp something is wrong.
 
Liverpool are often critised for being a 2 man team... it looks like Man Utd are a one man team. Tactics versus Man utd should just be to injure Rooney and then they will capitulate

Well he's definitely slow and considered enough ;) But I think Basle are a class or five above Leeds!

Eamonn Dunphy said Man United are an ordinary team without Rooney. What in the name of sweet jesus is he on about? Man United are an ordinary team WITH Rooney.

I believe we can beat Utd on the 15th and will be shouting the lads on. The kind of baiting you're doing is going to make it very difficult to take if we do lose.

Form goes out the window in that game I would say it's best to do or talking on the pitch.
 
Liverpool are not going to destroy United <doh>

I'm still pretty confident of a win at anfield, but to sit here and say that any team is going to destroy the other is complete stupidity.

I would love to see KPR do his talking on the pitch. All the opponents would leave with broken legs, and he wouldn't get within ten yards of the ball ;)

Harry Redknapp must be busy tonight if they've got Alan Curbishley in the sky studio. T'riffic replacement, mind...

He's probably on a quiz or chat show talking **** rather than spending time doing his proper job.
