Liverpool vs Fulham

[Rory Fitzgerald]

12th plays 13th this weekend

 

LFC: W3 D0 L2 - Scored 7 Conceded 7

 

FFC: W1 D1 L3 - Scored 3 Conceded 7

 

These have been low scoring games at Anfield recently. 1-0 to them last season, 1-0 to us the season before and then two 0-0's in the previous two seasons

 

Given where we are at, I dont think there is much incentive for Fulham to go with 1 in attack, I think they will play 2 upfront which may help us. Berbatov is not going to hunt down our centerbacks or full backs. That said, that midfield 4 if it starts will put a good shift of work in.

Not sure who we go with after the weekend to be honest. 4 days after this we travel to Stoke so it will be interesting to see if there is an element of 'squad management' in the selection at home this weekend. Sterling and Allen for rests with Wisdom to come back in to allow Johnson to go to LB and perhaps Enrique to come back if fit.

Tough game.

Fulham are s*** on the road

[CarraLegend]

Despite yesterday we can still have a cracking December if we wake up, though thats probably unlikely given the last 3 and a half years but still. Let's smash these c****. Martin Jol is fat filth.

So are Villa

Fulham are s*** on the road

 

Thats a bit of red-herring recently. Ok, they lost their first 2 games on the road but since then they have done alright.

 

They lost to QPR granted at the weekend, but before that they got a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge, 3-3 draw at the Emirates and lost 1-0 at Stoke (which is no embaressment). Before that they got 2 draws at Reading and Southampton and beat Wigan at their place.

 

It'll be a tough game going on our form, their form on the road and recent games between us at Anfield

Still, one win is not a good away record.

[Gunga Din]

cant wait. havent been so excited to be going to a game since ever. 0-0 or 0-1

[stressederic]

Can we just stuff them? Please? Seriously, for just one week could we hammer a team into the f***ing floor?

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Still, one win is not a good away record.

 

Its not a good away record, but given the teams they have played, they have not been embarressed or run over. They'll make it difficult for us and that is normally good enough to put teams in with a chance of a draw or a win.

 

Our home record reads;

 

W 3

D 3

L 3

 

F 10

A 10

 

That also reads as 'Come have a go'

[Cisse]

I'd go .

Gerrard should be dropped

[RBM]

Gerrard should be dropped

 

So should Allen

[meepins]

I'm hoping to see a different midfield for this one. Allen dropped to the bench for a while due to loss of form and Gerrard moved up wide of Suarez, not only for their ability to link up but also to get Gerrard into goalscoring positions a lot more than he has been. It's an absolute waste having him deep when we are struggling to score. In place of those two; Sahin and Henderson.

Sterling to the bench with Enrique left of Suarez if fit. Downing wasn't horrendous last match and there's not really another option so left back again and Johnson can remain at right back where he has been excellent.

Shelvey Suarez Enrique

 

 

Shelvey wide is pointless for me Either he plays in the middle or is a sub.

 

Shelvey in CM ahead of Gerrard and either Suso or Assaidi in the wide position.

Don't worry we've got loads of style points

Don't worry we've got loads of style points

 

If only they were a tie-breaker in place of Goal Difference.

[smithdown]

Everyone has got style points. I'm sure even qpr have had spells when they have knocked it about a bit.

 

3 more games this year. Win them.

[DJS]

I couldnt point to any of those three games and say i'm convinced we' ll win.

[growler]

There must be a reason why Rodgers doesn't play Gerrard in the front three despite virtually all of us wanting it. I wish I knew what...

 

I'd go with Wisdom and downing as full backs.

 

Lucas and Hendo with sahin. Front three of Enrique Suarez and Gerrard.

 

We will probably go
