Liverpool v Arsenal match thread

[Ombudsam]

I'd go

 

Reina

 

Johnson Carra Skrtel Enrique

 

Gerrard Spearing Adam

 

Suarez Carroll Bellamy

 

Only variation would be downing for Andy.

 

I think we'll lose though.

[Epic Swindle]

You should be banned for 8 games for this.

[alli]

what have you done

[Cobs]

Expecting StevieG to be out so Henderson comes in. I'd deffo play Spearing.

 

Same back 5 then

 

Kuyt Hendo Jay Scapegoat Bellamy

 

Suarez

 

 

Carroll & Downing on the bench for later.

[Rimbeux]

Can't see Downing being dropped now. Kuyt or Bellamy with Suarez at a guess

[Epic Swindle]

Reina

Kelly Carra Skrtel Jose

Speo He-who-leaves-gaps

Hendo Kuyt Downing

Suarez

[Swipe]

Bellers will surely start.

[Cunny]

Kuyt and Suarez played 90 minutes tonight.

Bellamy played 74 minutes.

 

I reckon Carroll starts.

[Romario]

Can't see Downing being dropped now. Kuyt or Bellamy with Suarez at a guess

Arsenal are not lower league. Downing benched.

[épieur]

Surely people must realise by now Sion is too gutless to start a thread where we might risk not winning and just get on it with. Even ff it actually made a difference that is.

 

Nice one, Sammya. With Stevie and agger out, I'd have to go for

 

Reina

GloJo-Skrtel-Carra-Enrique

Kuyt-Spearing-Adam-Downing

Suarez-Carroll

 

As much as I'd like to start Bellamy I'd want to reward Kuyt and Downing and I think they are best suited for the shape I'd want us to have against Arsenal going into the game. Then have maxi and bellers coming on to slap them down in the second half the way Meireles and Suarez did at the Emirates.

 

Given our rightwing at the moment, I'd like to see Glojo there in front of Kelly, but Arsenal is really not the game to try it. Especially not since we already have one forced change in the backline.

[YNWAdownunder]

Why would you not play Carroll in a game where their defence is well known for struggling against big stronger opponents.........

 

I'd go

 

Reina

 

Johnson Carra Skrtel Enrique

 

Gerrard Spearing Adam

 

Suarez Carroll Bellamy

 

Only variation would be downing for Andy.

 

I think we'll lose though.

 

Wow good optimism their mate........have you been watching Arsenal play? they are very inconsistant so I wouldnt read too much into the tottenham victory

[Cooldude]

No Agger and Gerrard would be tough, and Carra doesn't tend to play well against Arsenal over the years. Could really be a tough one, and a must win, too

 

Pearce is a f***ing c***, f***ing massive c***

maybe no GJ either

He's being rotated to give him a rest. He's played and won us a lot of important games recently.

[Beardsley]

Ruddy hell!

[cymrococh]

haha! Beardsley's just out there. He's not afraid to try new things.

 

New things are what he's all about.

[Senrab_nhoj]

Kuyt & Shelvey centre mid ? wow

I really do wonder sometimes over people's sanity

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Kuyt & Shelvey centre mid ? wow

Get it right, its the dirkmeister

[surf]

Kuyt & Shelvey centre mid ? wow

 

it's spearing in the middle on his own and 4 behind carroll

[Falconhoof]

it's spearing in the middle on his own and 4 behind carroll

 

He's shored up his defence with 2 centre backs this time though. It's the pragmatic side of beardsley

[Beardsley]

He, he. I try to think in new ways, yes. How else are we going to develop and move forward?

And good you take it in good humor, since I'm not all that serious about it.

[fred milne]

Reina

GloJo-Skrtel-Carra-Enrique

Kuyt-Spearing-Adam-Downing

Suarez-Carroll

That looks sensible. I might be tempted to start with Kelly at RB and Johnson at LB, as Enrique's form has gone off the boil.

 

In an ideal world, we'd see Coates play rather than Carra but I suspect that's more likely to happen 12 months down the line.

[Ethan]

How can we lose this ?
