Back to the bread and butter of getting more league points against a team we have always beaten in the Premiership. Keeping up that record would keep us joint top at least.
Hope Robbie bags a couple on Sat against the baggies...that would really stick it to eveyone on his back at the moment. Will be great to have Nando back.. boing boing!!!The onion bag will bulge I tell thee
Would be nice to finally take a first half lead in the league this season at Anfield. I can't take much more of these nail bitting finishes and it's only November. If it's still 0-0 after 75 minutes i'm hooking up a drip full of Tyskie.
Only problem is we did that at Spurs for the first time and look what happened!! (Edit Ah - at Anfield!) I'm heading over and hoping for a big win for this game, 3 or 4 nil would be lovely
Yeah its about time we beat a team comfortably, its been a while since I had nails after a Liverpool game!
----------------------REINA-------------------------------------- ------Arbeloa------------CarrAgger-----------------------Dossena ------Pennant-----------Gerrard-------------Alonso---------Riera---- ------------------Torres---------------------Keane----------------- Diggler is exhausted and Mascherano is too. Note how Atletico are having the same problem with Kun Aguero, and how little Tevez is making the starting line up.
I dont think Torres will start saturday as he was not even on the bench last nite... Hope I am wrong.. We need to see Torres & Keane playing together more
There isn't enough Tyskie in the world to help you cope with pennant getting in the team. I'd suggest Absynthe...
Well if Torres doesnt start then Pennant needn't start. I had visions of crosses and runs. What the **** is going on with Fernando Torres hamstring??
Must win game and yes, I am nervous about it. We havent exactly been banging in the goals lately and every man on the street knows that WBA are going to come and play for a point with 10 men behind the ball. Nothing else needs to be said really.
If Liverpool score early - they will go on and score 3 to 4. Liverpool will dominate possesson wise but will they have the cutting edge that was absent against pompey and madrid. I dont think Torres will start - however I would like to see 2 up front from the start - keane and Dirk with Benny coming in on the right.
The way our other forwards have been 'finishing' I think we may need Torres for this one. I think he'll start, going on what Rafa has been saying: http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/8759088/Torres-has-Baggies-in-his-sights
Peter Walton will Ref this game, he seems to be a bit of a lucky charm going on other games he Ref'd involving us... (5 wins from 5) , Let's hope it's a good omen... http://www.ynwa.tv/news/index.php/2008/November/2659
I think and hope Torres starts. We really miss him but have done really well to keep pace without him. No team can afford to be without players of his quality. If he statrs we will win. I am a bit nervous though as it is crucial we score early, if we do we could hammer em, but if its nil-nil on 40 minutes I will be feeling twitchy....Again.
I think he will start and thats why he made the decision himself not to play Tuesday to make sure he was at 100%. Still Im not happy with the vibe coming off the board that if Torres starts we'll win if he doesnt we may struggle. He didnt play against the Chavs or Pompy and we got the points.
It's probably due to a lack of faith in our other forwards to score regularly. Kuyt is the only other forward getting goals, and for some reason people still dont have faith in him
I think the Torres factor is as much about the fear he puts into defenders and goal keepers alike, i'm sure it weighs on a defenders mind for 90 minutes that if he switches off for a second when Torres is around they will most likely concede. No defence has such fear of Keane and Kuyt but its on them to make the most of defenders concentrating on Torres to make space for themselves. WBA should be there for the beating and i'd like to see Torres starting and hopefully get a few early goals and rest a few lads later on. Would like to see Ngog get a few minutes on the pitch and Babel getting a decent run too.
