Liverpool FC vs Arsenal Match Thread

[fellafeen]

Seems like the arsenal are missing quite a few, what do we expect will be the starting lineup. I reckon something along the lines of

 

GK Reina

RB Johnson

CB Carragher

CB Skrtel

LB Agger

CM Lucas

CM Gerrard

RM Maxi

AM Cole

LM Jovanovich

CF Ngog

[Spion kop]

Kuyt up front.

Conveniently being spouted in the days leading up to International games. Will be a different story come Sunday, I expect.

[Sion]

Wenger has ruled out Van Persie and Fabregas hasn't he?

 

Should negate us being without at least Torres

 

We need to get at whichever clown they play in goal. Serious weakness right there. Long shots, pushing at corners etc.

They'll probably play this new unproven CB as well. Who we could expose.

 

Good chance to get off to a confident start

[Nate.]

Is Torres out fullstop?

 

Thought Roy said he hoped he could play some part?

[Hassony]

I hope we don't rush him back

[Beardsley]

Don't think Lucas will play since he has to travel quite a bit for the friendly.

[Nate.]

I'm sure I heard him say he was recovered from his injury now and all he needed was fitness.

[johngibo YPC]

Don't think Lucas will play since he has to travel quite a bit for the friendly.

 

Depends on Masch or Poulson playing though. If for various reasons neither of them can play, he'll have to

[richwilks]

I presume Aurelio is fit...

 

 

....................Reina

 

.Johnson - Carra - Agger - Aurelio

 

.............Masch - Gerrard

 

........Kuyt - Cole - Jovanavic

 

....................Ngog

[fyds]

Crouch up front

[lfc003]

Arsenal seem to be having their annual injury crisis early this year, I've read anywhere between seven and nine first-team regulars could be unavailable.

[Stevie H]

I presume Aurelio is fit...

 

very, very foolish words man.

[Montse]

Nando would have a field day, they seem to be leaking quite a few goals at the mo - would hate to see him break down tho

[richwilks]

Hopefully Crouch will have signed and can play upfront.

 

Think most of the side almost picks itself.

 

The decisions Roy has to make is between Kuyt or Maxi on the right and Skrtel or Agger at centre back, then again he might play both and use Agger at left back?!

[Sion]

Is Kuyt going to be just thrown straight into starting a game with no pre-season games?

Pacheco could play

[Widnesian]

----------------pepe

johnson agger skrtel aurelio

Maxi Gerrard Aqua Jovanovich

-----------Cole

--------------- Kuyt

[Epic Swindle]

Is Kuyt going to be fit? He hasn't played a game since he's been back in training. Hopefully Crouch is here this week.

 

I reckon something like.

 

Reina

Johnson Carra Agger Aurelio

Maxi Gerrard Poulsen Jova

Cole

Crouch

Arsenal should be one of maybe 5 or 6 games suited to Aqua. He should start

[richwilks]

Is Kuyt going to be fit?

 

Kuyt is Kuyt. He doesn't need pre season training or any of that b******s.

[_00_deathscar]

Is Arshavin playing? If he is, we may as well not bother turning up.
