Should be 3 points but with Sunderland getting spanked over the weekend and with them been at home they could be up for a scrap.But an early goal should put them back in there box.
I am going for us to win 2:0.

with the complete shambles of a match against chelsea, another away game for us.
Usually after a champs league match or international duty we seem to struggle. Hopefully we can overcome this and beat sunderland esp since most of their players will have a week off.
Tough match but I wouldn't see anything but a liverpool win really.
2 nil to us. voronin and yossi to get the goals.

I hope Kean Plays York in center midfield again,if he does our lads will run a muck.

There were at least 3 if not 4 valid peno claims against them on Sat, hope they maintain that form ! :)
I know we all feel slighted by the robbery yesterday but we seem to have momentum on the pitch and all know we should be sitting on 2 wins out of 2. We've outplayed the chavs yet again, have got the away monkey off our back early doors (very important that we scored twice as well) and Torres won't be have that dreaded waiting for his first goal nervousness going on. Rafa will be keen to keep this good feeling going. The bigger problem will be the big gap for the two competitive internationals soon after.
Really looking forward to my first league away and seeing Torres and Babel (who has won a starting place in my book) in the flesh. Looking at their defending on Sat Torres will tear them apart if they do the same but they prob won't and will be easier to be UP for a big team and might have a hometown ref. I had to laugh this morning hearing that McShane and Elliot are on the internation injury list............Keano true to form.
LOL : Just realised Elliot not there anymore, where did he move to after ?

Think Keane loaned him to his good mate Mick at Wolves, open to correction on that

I would fully expect us to take the game to Sunderland on Saturday. They will be in our faces leaving the foot in etc but quality should shine through in the end. Would like to see Masch in for Xabi and Babel in for Arbeloa (Riise shifting back to LB) with Pennant and Stevie continuing on their strong starts to the season.
The international break and early KO on Sat means less time for Rafa to have the lads tactically drilled for the game but I'm sure if we score in the first half, we will have no problems containing a weak Sunderland midfield.
I'll take a 2-0 Kuyt and Babel keeping our momentum going
I agree that we should be a little worried seeing as its an away game a few days after internationals, but if we play like we've being playing so far then I'll have no worries. This is the biggest test Sunderland will face since Roy Keane took over, and I fully expect them to fail miserably. 3-0 to the Redmen.

We have far too much quality for them ,but I think id like to get momo or masch in there. Alonso looked sluggish and it will be a battle field in their midfield. I reckon masch would impose himself and take no s@&t from them.
Would it be worth starting crouch??

I think starting Crouch should be a definite for this game, however whether he starts or not could be determined by how long he is on the pitch for England on Wednesday night. Remember when Rafa first bought him and said how we needed a basketball type player up front for particular games - when I think this is one of those games he was referring to.

If we can get through this game with the three points I think it bodes well for the season ahead.
Stevie G - almost certainly out

With stevie more onus will be on Alonso to get forward like to stevie does if Mascherano is brought into the starting lineup or he could Benayoun in the centre with Alonso. As long as we take 3 points i'l be happy. Any Predictions? I will go for Torres to score and Liverpool win 2-0 with Babel playing from the start.
I pretty much want to win this one as much as the bitters or the mancs and hopefully it leads to the demise of funderland's league campaign! :D
As said we are far too good for them and its games like these that we have not shown up for on previous occasions, hopefully we do this time and if we do we can put a few past them!

You know something, I think I agree. Despite being from the Rebel county, and only too happy to see another Cork man succeed, this whole Sunderland phenomenon thats taken over the country has gotten a little too much. A 3-0 hammering, nothing less will do! :D

sami - agger - carra
pennant - alonso - mascherano - riise
kuyt babel

I can see Vorinin getting a look in tomorrow...

We should win comfortably tomorrow. But I am worried that Sunderland will be on the rebound from the Wigan trashing and Keane is certainly going to have the team geared up.
But with the right frame of mind and an early goal to settle down, hopefully we will be well on the way to 3 points

It would be nice to see both voronin and benayoun involved but it think Babel and Mascherano will start

25-08-2007, 11:05 AM
Vororin and Babel are both starting, this could be good!
I was right about Vorinin...and sissoko to come in for gerrard, also no aggar, although it's still a strong team...

not the greatest game ive ever seen but i thought we looked good again up front.
good to see momo get a goal too! I thought pennant had a good game
hope carra is not out for long but next two games are toulouse and derby so sami should be well able to cope

really good win today. Two of our starting CD went off.. coming back from international duty.
I think the Liverpool of old under rafa would have crumbled under todays test which was alot harder than people realized . Should have been earlier but we did well and the second goal was a peach.

Seen the irish flag in the Liverpool end and one in the sunderland area across from the right of the Liverpool section as well. Good win and progress continues. Torres impressive with Voronin in attack, Alonso looked back to himself and Sissoko a delight to see him score his first goal for the Reds and Pennant impressed again. All in all encouraging for times ahead.

Great win and it should have been more but for a fantastic display by Gordon the Sunderland Goalie.
We are on the way!!!!!!!!!!!!

was it only me or was there an awful lot of empty Seats in the Away End?

They reduced the allocation of tickets to use for persistent standing so thats why there was empty seats they chose random seats to leave empty instead of doing whole blocks ! on the irish flag thing the one in our end was from some supporters club in carlow if i remember correctly !
it was shamefull and out of order too see all the muppets on saturday wearing celtic jerseys into sunderlands ground and also the muppets with the county jerseys on and irish wigs !
it was sunderland liverpool so why wear celtic,cork,mayo.galway.dublin jerseys ? to me it showed a total lack respect to the genuine sunderland fans who were sound people !

Hope this reduced allocation doesnt come into play for all aways. Expected to hear something along those lines back regarding the new irish Sunderland fans. The mackems are sound but the gaa rubbish will start to get on their nerves eventually.

Seen the Irish bandwagoners in action on Saturday. The ones I came across had Southern accents and most of us have probably forgotten more about football than they know.
The same police force are on duty for the Middlesbrough, Newcastle and Sunderland games. There has been issues with the Liverpool fans standing for 90 minutes at St. James Park and Riverside over the last few seasons so the allocation for the 3 matches has been reduced for this season.

Not to mention embarassing, Brought the kids on the Anfield tour a few years back, was morto at a family of cabbage sandwich munchers all decked out in their county colours (couldn't tell you what one it was, but it looked like Homer Simpson had shot it with his make up gun set to whore) telling anyone one that would listen that Anfield could be dropped into Croke Park and you'd never see it. That and two Shankill road refugees who insisted they were norn Irish and not Irish. With so many fans there from all over the world it was nice to get a insight as to how the rest of the world sees us.

Looking at Kuyt last night. I think he will team up great with Torres. Hopefully a 2:0
