---------------Doni------------- Flanagan--Coates-Kelly--Robinson Downing-Spearing-Lucas-----Maxi -------Carroll---Bellamy---------- For some reason St. I think that will work really well. I also think bellamy will really want to do well, score a goal, lift the shirt with a memory of Speed or something like that. Would be nice to see.
Id be tempted to put my mortgage on Carra startin, hope Aurelio plays too, too good a player not 2 be gettin any minutes.I think Robinson is injured.I think theres a good chance Wilson will make at least the bench too.Dont think Flanno will start
Neither have we!! Very limited game time has been given to him which is a shame but I guess inevitable given the number of strikers we have playing for one central slot. I expect he'll get more game time next year when Anelka and/or Drogba move on. From what I have seen though, strong and a good finish...bags of potential.
He was a monster in Fifa 11 that's all I know! haha. By the way, how many times have we faced each other since 05? has to be some sort of record?
Unreal!! Most rivalries are bred from a long history or from location but ours seems pretty much bourne out of wave after wave of massive fixtures between our clubs. Really goes back to that last game of the season (2003??) where we won to get C.L footie and it went on from there.
It is a good rivalry though, I enjoy it. There is a lot of controversy, quality games, and history now from that time and I am sure it will continue! The phantom goal ( it was), carling cup final defeat, rafa sitting down during PK's, the 4-4 game, torres joining you lot, loads of top stuff! Is Lukaku still unreal? Got Fifa 12 coming as we speak!
Should be a good game! Usually I have a gut feeling on these sort of games but today I really don't know what's gunna happen, can't wait for it
Reina, Kelly, Enrique, Carragher, Coates, Spearing, Lucas, Henderson, Maxi, Bellamy, Carroll. SUBS: Doni, Suarez, Kuyt, Downing, Adam, Skrtel, Flanagan. That's the team. Carra and Coates at centre-back, Bellamy is back and starts up-front with Carroll. Spearing and Lucas in the middle. Very strong bench as well.
Turnbull, Bosingwa, Luiz, Alex, Bertrand, Romeu, Lampard, McEachran, Malouda, Torres, Lukaka SUBS: Hilario, Ivanovic, Ramires, Mata, Ferreira, Kalou, Anelka. That's the Chelsea team. Torres starts up-front. Lampard plays and Luiz and Alex play at centre-back. Decent bench as well. Mata and Ramires decent options to bring in.
And as ginge said best of luck and hopefully no controversy and just a fun lively game. Hopefully no penalties either
I think that team shows how far we've come in the last season and a half. Quite a strong team and yet only 3 of those players started against Man City at the weekend. Starting to get good strength in depth now to be able to compete in all competitions. Glad Spearing & Coates are given a chance as they've not played too much. Spearing has looked very good when ever he has played for us which has suprised me as I thought he wouldn't be able to step up.
We need a trophy so bad!! But Chelsea will be fighting for their (the managers) life. Tough call. I'll go with my instinct and say 0-6 Liverpool.
Luiz booked for diving. Got 5 Live Sports Extra on and they are saying that there was contact. Hmm...
1950: Drama at Chelsea as David Luiz bursts into the penalty area and goes to ground under a rash-looking challenge from Sebastian Coates. It looked like a penalty to me but referee Phil Dowd instead books Luiz for a dive. A let-off for Liverpool there for sure.
1954: You can't keep David Luiz out of the action can you? The first foray forward for Liverpool sees Jose Enrique cross from the left and Andy Carroll is shoved out of the way by the Brazilian defender. On another day we could have had two penalties here already.
