Reina Glen Cara Skrtel Aurelio Masch Lucas Kuyt Gerrard Benayoun Torres Looking for a better performance high tempo from the start and give the Hammers no encouragement . Same result as last season 0-3 would be perfect . Torres still seems out of sorts for some reason , that black eye seems to be taking ages to heal up ...
You on first name basis with Glen are you? Prefer to have Insua at LB myself, wasn't great last night but prefer him to Aurelio. 3 points, 1-0 even. Although a good performance and 3-0 would be lurvely!
Have to disagree with you there. Tactically aurelio is a well better player with better vision and a better shot. Insua is still young and learning his trade and I have no doubt he will be a fine left back but as it stands i'd have Aurelio there before Insua any day of the week. Oh his set pieces are absolutely brilliant aswell.
Jewish new year is this Saturday, I remember Yossi missing a game around this time last year for some religous occasion, could be this 1, so he might not play.
its Rosh Hashanah on Saturday .. day of rest , but dont think it stops him from playing . "kipur day" is once a year which they fast for 24hours on that day he wouldn't play ...... remember i went over for the birmingham game at home and he didn't play that day because he was fasting i was told. 0-0 that day ..... game was set up for him to come on a laugh at fat head.
Think this is going to be a very tricky game lads..Will will defo need yossi for this game as i see it being tight and compact.Hopfully im wrong though.
Pepe Reina 150th start for LFC in the Premier League Tomorrow will be Pepe Reina's 150th start in the Premier league for Liverpool. It will also be his 82nd game consecutively which is a fantastic record for a goalkeeper in a top flight club. In the five seasons he is with the club that means he has just missed 8 Premier League games, 3 of which were for the suspension caused by Robben feigning injury and being sent off with a three match ban in his first season when he played. In his first season he played 33 times for the club and 35 the next season and all games the season before last and last season. I really can not remember him missing any of the other five games does anybody else remember?
Don't know if aurelio is fully match fit yet and west ham will be a tough game so maybe wait another week and start him against hull at home. About torres, well he just badly needs a rest. Because of spains success he hasnt had a decent break in the last 2 years, and prob wont get one next summer either unfortunately. But he's stil doin fairly well, another assist for him last wed for kuyts goal.
Torres needs a rest alright might come against leeds in carling cup. Have to say i'm not a fan of Masch + Lucas playing in midfield together,don't get me wrong think there both very good at what they do it's just that they are both very alike in there style of play which for me is defensive we don't really need 2 holding midfielders on the pitch at the same time imo.
Will be a tough game at Upton Park without a doubt will need to up our performance from Wednesday night to get the result we need Reina Johnson Skrtel Carra Insua Lucas Mach Kuyt Gerrard Yossi Torres Strong team so should be capable of getting the win!
Looks like that will be the starting 11 , but with chelsea coming up .... Aurelio needs games under his belt.
We need more of the same as against Burnley last week against the hammers today. We're not a million miles off the leaders, and with the Manchester derby, and Chelsea and Spurs on as well this week, this game is the ideal opportunity for us to put ourselves into the mix and start showing teams that despite our turbulent start, we've bounced back and we're real serious title contenders. COME ON YOU REDS
