I think the result will hinge on how we handle Suarez and how they handle Mata. The two players who make each team tick going forward at the moment. I think the defenders on both sides are going to have a long afternoon!!
I make you right about the defenders! Lets hope our defenders afternoon is not as long as Liverpool's
I reckon it depends on how Suarez deals with Ramires, Sturridge, Mikel, Anelka, Malouda & Ash. allegedly
You've got a point about Adam, perhaps we should go with Spearing and just shut down the central area altogether. Mikel is no Essien after all. Lucas, Spearing and Hendo would EAT Lumps, Merc and Mik for brekky. Enrique and Downing doubling up on Ivanovic would be interesting...
Are you being serious?Lucas, Spearing and Hendo couldn't eat a piece of toast, no offence but all 3 are ****ing awful lol
Also i know ivanovic seems to prefer CB but i think his so much better as a RB, the best games his played for us have been at RB and that cross for Lampards goal vs blackburn was a absoulete peach
Agree. Liverpool have some fantastic players but in the centre of midfield is not where they are at (without Gerrard). Lucas has got better but not hard given he was literally one of the worst players in the league 2 years ago but none of them 3 would get near a 'top 4 midfield'. Spearing maybe in the future.
Instead of talking about how this could be a great game and our rivalry continues ( since 05 really due to always playing each other), we are now dealing with all this racism stuff with both teams. It is taking the sting out of what is a really important game for both sides. There is a lot of thinking that Kenny will go with the formation we used last year, and I think he might, but would still like to see us have a go from the start.
Ollie Holt of the mirror is makin my f**kin stomach turn on twitter at the mo Hes havin a pop at LFC and Man U fans saying they are just takin sides regardless of whether theres been any racism or not Then a couple of comments later he tries to defend Terry saying he heard that a player say that he didnt think whatever Terry said was racist.Oliver Holt ghost wrote Terrys autobiography.Of course he says hes not defending Terry cause he got a boat load of cash when he wrote his book.Typical lyin,corrupt ,journo hypocrit
I hope the fans don't start hurling the abuse of the racism claims because that could get real nasty. Chelsea saying something about Suarez, we say something about Terry and it getting out of hand. I really hope nothing bad happens in the stands and it can clearly do with this type of problem. Also, someone said Lucas was awful, last year he bossed your midfield, home and away.
Should take the heat off Torres, well a bit anyway Good job we arent playin United any time soon, theres gonna be some serious venom on show for that game, and if Suarez does get a ban, well I dread to think Basically this Evra,Suarez,Blatter,Terry thing has just created an absolute f**kin minefield of sh*t, which is gonna take a fair bit of time to disappear
I just wonder though, they say they have evidence but what exactly? It seems everyone was perplexed by Evra's claims even his own teammates, yet the FA have evidence? I will wait to see, someone get Luther..... With Terry, at least over here, the one video clip they have where he is saying something, they block it out so you can't read his lips! I just find it funny that both play on teams with black players and this stuff still comes out. Anyway, I am wondering how AVB will line up, Drogba is normally the thorn in our side but you know Torres is wanting another chance to score against us.
Put it this way: It's generally a pretty bloody good game who ever is on the pitch, so let's hope for another, and of course a home win. Ahem.
Ya, we have had some crackers of the years, I am not even going to make a prediction of the game but if we are judging how the top 6 have done against each other, then we should probably expect a 6-3 or something! Going the red way of course.......
Cheeky....... Anyone have a favorite game between us? 05 CL semi, 09 league and CL, Carling cup, PK with Rafa sitting down, etc, the comeback a good few years back when we were 3-0 up (?) and Chelsea came back ( pretty sure that was collymore days and you had di matteo and zola?)
Some people are sayin they reckon we will play wing backs, to fit Carra in,after 2 clean sheets,and we also played with 5 at the back last year,when we won I would defo play 433 451 , we need to pack the midfield not the defense IMO.I tend to think we will play 532,just so Kenny can play Carra,which is totally wrong,we should be doin whats right for the team,not pickin the team based on the managers favourites My predicted Kenny 11 ( playin Carra means Downing has to be dropped I reckon ) Reina Johnson Skrtel Carra Agger Enrique Hendo Lucas Adam Kuyt Suarez My 11 Reina Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique Hendo Lucas Adam(Id be tempted to play Spearin if Im honest) Kuyt Suarez Bellamy
