dont bet nowadays... kekeke...

moaner team can score, but against reading and birmingham, chelski r expected to score against them. but to concede goals against mediocre teams and getting totally outplayed in the 1st half by reading last nite really perks me up!!! now, they r not going to have it easy with JC and company and the liverpool strike force is of a different league against those they have conceded against.:D

cristiano??? how the hell i know??? only know that he prances around like a butthead... haha... pun intended. mascherano reminds me of a saying... "it is not the size of the dog in the fight, it is the size of the fight in the dog!" :D

lay off those bets on spurs for the time being. they only become more consistent as the season wears on. cheers.

Big crunch match coming up....
I hope if it is not necessary, don't field Gerrard...
Don't want our general to be out longer coz he is our trump card. :D

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

I think Benitez should withdraw Gerrard for the friendly against Germany, as i expect the match to be fiercely competitive. This is to protect our chief general.
No point risking it as it is just a warm-up match before England's next Euro Nations match...

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

to hell with england always felt they were overated.hope stevie g will skip this one.

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

I would not say they are overated cause they do have a good team...

But somehow they dont have the right manager to make them click! :rolleyes:

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

yup they have been saying that for the last 12 yrs,thank god jc quit england.:p

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Yeah, it might be a minor fracture but it's not worth the risk. Michael Essien, you know! Won't want Stevie to be out half the season, not when we been having fun over the fortunes of Shrek and the step-over guy. :D

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

I agree with you bro. StevieG should be rested until full heal..Steve McLaren should not field him too...

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

My feel is that Rafa will play Gerrard ... but either in the middle of a 3-men central midfield (the other 2 being Alonso & Mascherano) or on the right, therefore preventing a direct confrontation with Essien but not reducing any of the initiative to secure 3 home points against the Blues.
Dun think Gerrard would wanna miss this game too ... after that, I think he will be rested until the 2nd leg against Toulouse.

Life's like that ... that's why there's this age-old saying: he who laughs last laughs best!!
So, as much as we feel tickled about the fortunes of Shrek & Diver, let's just keep a straight face for the time being. :rolleyes:

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

they dont need a right (or left for that matter) manager. they need one with balls to stand up to popular players and popular opinion, field the best players in those positions and not just get the most popular players in, and then slot them in any position...:rolleyes:

king, warnings like this should be posted earlier. been doing that the whole day yesterday!!!:p

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

3 man midfield? That's negative leh for a home game. I was thinking Babel could replace Pennant on the right as he is much more of a goal threat and we take the game to Chelsea (but then Rafa would probably think Pennant scored a stunner against them last time around).

Maybe a lot of us are over-reacting on Stevie's injury - maybe a hairline fracture in the toe isn't that bad huh.

I do think it's a massive game, whatever Rafa might say. We won away for the first time in an opening league match under Rafa. If we could beat a 'top 4' side next, we will really start to believe in ourselves as title contenders. And no, I won't be laughing about this till the ref blows. :D

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

I sure hope to see Crouchy playing... With Terry out, Crouch can really cause lots of trouble to the Chelski defence with high balls and headers...

Sometimes route 1 is the best way to attack! :D

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

If the 3 were Alonso-Macherano-Sissoko, then it's negative ... but with a 3 consisting of Gerrard, who'll be deployed in an unmarkable run-in-from-deep-type of 2nd striker. I'm not so sure that should be considered negative ... agree?? :D

He will definitely play Babel, but not on the right ... simply becoz there's no one to play on the left liao. Playing Riise as the left winger means playing Arbeloa ... personally, I think he's only good for the continental game.

IMHO, even if he doesn't play Gerrard on the right, I still think it'll be Benayoun over Pennant ... simply becoz of the ball-keeping ability, plus that little bit more of football intelligence in the Israeli. :rolleyes:

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

actually i was awed by c.ronaldo taking shots after shots against portmouth's keeper. nowadays he's shooting from the hip, as they say.

bro my hair is wet already lah, but if cannot win derby game then i will take a break until payday. :D
