I predict a good win. I'm pretty sure the players and crowd will be extra fired up for this because of the behind the scenes talk. Would like to see masch back in midfield along with lucas and gerrard and kewell. COME OOOOON!
Hopefully Rafa just picks his best 11 players and forgets about whatever tactics Porto may adopt. They are coming to Anfield let them worry about stopping Liverpool not the other way round which seems to be what Rafa bases his squad on. It should be down to Porto to try and figure out how to beat us not us set up the best way to beat them.
Like to see the same as Sat., with Momo dropping to the bench and Masch taking his place in the middle. May think about Agger coming in for Sami just to combat their pace up front on the counter-attack, no reflection on how Sami has played recently as he's been excellent. Bring Babel on again for the last half hour, doesn't seem to play as well when he starts.
Momo dropped absolutely. Although I would be tempted to bring in Agger I think just chucking him in in such an important game when Sammi and Carra have built up an understanding again might be unwise.
You could be right there, it's a tricky one to decide when to throw him back in there. Ultimately though Agger and Carra are first choice but Rafa will have to make the decision when to throw him back into the fray. If Sami keeps his place this week I wouldn't complain.
With the planned protest before hand, I reckon the stadium is going to be absolutely bouncing by the time kick off comes around. Would be predicting a 3-0 win in this one!
Cant wait for this game and everyone knows what to be expecting from the crowd!Ra-fa rafael,ra-fa rafael,ra-fa rafael,rafael benitez!!
Same team as Sat will do the job, except Masch in for Momo. The crowd will be well up for it what with all thats gone on in the last week. The protest beforehand, should get everyone motivated for a big one. Liverpool to win 3-2 with the 12th man sucking in a late winner
The atmosphere should be fantastic and I reckon that the Rafaaaa Benitez chant will be on going for the duration of the match, regardless. For me - Reina Finnan Carra Agger Arbeloa Babel Gerrard Masch Kewell Torres Crouch Lets tear into them from the first. They are a decent team but could be fragile if we score early.
i think this will be a very tight game but think crouch will be the hero. 1-0 home win (crouch 71 min)
Good luck to the lads/lasses heading over to the match/march. Fair play to ye. Im workin as usual but will watch it on the sly (as usual). Cant wait for it... expecting mental atmosphere and I think we'll tear them apart on the pitch. Just hope we get early goals to settle the nerves. SUPER REDS!!!
