If the ''Green bib'' theory is to be believed the Liverpool starting 11 is as follows. Reina. Kelly Skrtel Agger Johnson Allen Gerrard Shelvey Borini Suarez Sterling.
Exactly what I am expecting. I'd guess a bench of: Jones Carragher Enrique Sahin Downing Assaidi Henderson
Really should be expecting a win or at least considering it but am lowering my expectations as a defeat at Anfield is quite common. The truth is though, its a poor show if we cant beat possibly the worst Liverpool side since 1953ish
It would be realy bad if we can't beat a side that hasn't recorded a victory against us since 2007. They have a chance, as they will be starting the game with 11 players due to Rooney being out injured.
Slev, look, its very simple. 2007,2007,2009,2010,2011............ all have nothing to do with this game. How many of the current Liverpool squad were involved in all of those games. How many United players? in 2007-2009 Liverpool were a far superior team to now. United are around the same. Maybe a little worse. So as always with these games form, history and standing means precisely nothing, if United had never won at Anfield we would be just as likely to win today as we are to lose. On paper its a foregone conclusion. Easy 3 points for United and goodnight. Last I checked football isnt played on paper.
Firstly you're right if football was played on paper we would win comfortably, as we've better players than you. It all depends on the day, however I think we've got the quality of players to expose your weaknesses which run through the middle of your side. These are De Gea, Evans and Carrick.
Name 1 player out of the United side that would get into the Liverpool side? And don't be delusional.
If we play like we did against City we will beat United. That is a big 'if' however. Never know which Liverpool will turn up these days.
We need to play like we did against City and cut out the mistakes. That would be enough to beat a relatively average Manchester United side. Only Manchester United fans will say that they don't lack quality in certain areas.
I was going to answer but thought I wouldnt need to as someone would do it for me and you have posted exactly the same as I would of minus Rooney who if you are honest if he wasnt a former Everton and United player you would also take. With Reinas current form De Gea would get starts for you aswell as hes miles better than your back ups. Dare I say Carrick ( dont kill me, hes vital to our team like Alonso was to yours, in a similar role he may do a similar job ). Slevs just being super biased amplified by the fact its match day.
I'll answer that one for you.....Vidic, evra, Kagawa, Van Persie, Wooney, Hernandez, Powell, Nanci, Valencia, Young I'm sure I've forgotten a striker or two but come on OA if you seriously think our first team or especially squad is anywhere near the manks I suggest you take a look at the league table for last year, this year and then look again at xmas and the end of the season. Can we beat them today? Yes of course we can. Will we finish miles behind them come the end of the season? Yes of course we will. Anyway I'm off to the game COYR
Reina even with the mistakes is a vastly superior keeper to De Gea. Carrick, we've got the vastly superior and younger Joe Allen. Rooney wouldn't get into the Liverpool side, we've got Suarez, who has more skill in his big toe than Rooney will ever have.
I'd rather have dodgy Pepe than De Gea to be honest. Lindegaard would be a better choice! Carrick would get some game time if Lucas/Allen were both out. He's a decent player who gets unfairly scapegoated. Rooney? I'm only considering human players I'd love Kagawa, he was one of my favourite foreign players as was Oscar ffs
You're seriously saying Hernandez wouldn't get in ahead of Borini and Valencia ahead of Downing ffs lad
