Match Day Thread Hull City v Liverpool

I hope gerrards playing

 

I think it's because of the way he plays - he wants to play the ball around, and that occasionally leads to high-profile mistakes that get a lot of attention, even if 98% of the time he's doing a good job.

He does seem to be the sort of defender Rodgers loves, though: someone who can bring the ball out from the back and launch attacks.

 

People get hung up on how he looks. His technique looks dreadful, but he uses the ball excellently. Gets the ball forward quickly in to players who'll do something with it.

It's like watching Steve Smith bat. He should be rubbish, but he isn't.

 

Well when I've seen him he's looked about as useful as a ****ing wardrobe.

But I haven't watched him all season.

 

Sound like you've watched him for about 3 seconds to be honest.

 

Jordan Ibe could be their one to watch out for if he plays

 

Wardrobes are useful though.

 

Don't forget if we happen to score tonight, none of that running down the steps to celebrate lark! People don't like it!!

 

Unchanged starting XI. No Diame or Robertson on bench.

Balotelli and Ibe start for them.

 

Same starting team from Saturday I've heard.

 

Will ever see Diame again?

 

Steve Harper, James Chester, Tom Huddlestone, Robbie Brady, Jake Livermore, Paul McShane, Michael Dawson, Sone Aluko, Ahmed Elmohamady, Dame N’Doye, Stephen Quinn.

Subs: Allan McGregor, Liam Rosenior, Maynor Figueroa, Alex Bruce, Abel Hernandez, Yannick Sagbo, Gaston Ramirez.

 

No Stevie G!!! Im not going now **** it

 

Liverpool: Simon Mignolet, Glen Johnson, Dejan Lovren, Philippe Coutinho, Jordan Henderson, Emre Can, Joe Allen, Raheem Sterling, Jordon Ibe, Martin Skrtel, Mario Balotelli.

Subs: Brad Jones, Kolo Toure, Rickie Lambert, Javier Manquillo, Adam Lallana, Cameron Brannagan, Lazar Markovic.

 

I think I've just see the half and half shirter near station.

 

Gutted Stevie G isn't there, can't give him the appreciative applause he deserves for all he's done for english football, both domestically and internationally.

 

Thank god Stevie G aint playing, been away down south all day and only just got home, woulda played on my mind for the rest of the season knowing I missed the last chance I'd have to see him play live.

I hope both teams play like they did at the weekend and we might just get sommat from this,

 

I'm going for a 2-0 Liverpool win.

City to have the majority of the first-half, only to concede after ~38/39 minutes.

An even second-half, with Liverpool wrapping things up in injury-time.

All followed up by more half arsed boos from the lethargic home support

 

We needed Gerrard starting tonight.

 

Is it December already?

 

You mean 0 -2 then.

We're the home team. Our score goes first, its traditional and that.
