Thursday morning and no Hull thread up yet?? Shame on us. Let's get the big guns out and show these newbies what the Premier League is all about!
Team i would like to see ---------------Reina---------------------- Arb----- Carra -------Agger----- Dossena Kuyt----Alonso------Stevie G----Riera ------- Keane ------ Babel bench - Cav, Hyypia, Insua, Macherano, Benayoun, Ngog Think Agger should start this one as Marlon King and Daniel Cousin arent the greatest, so Agger's ball carrying and passing out of defense could be crucial. I also want to see keane play off Babel (last man). Babels pace playing off last man, ala torres could also be vital. No need for two holding midfielders, so Xabi's better passing qualities should sway that one. We really should pick up the three points here, hopefully with a good performance this time and a few goals to spare, and hopefully the boo boys dont rear their ugly heads!
Wouldn;t be too surprised to see Sami play. Cousin and King are fairly big lads and decent in the air. Would also like to see Insua get another game after a good showing last week.
Well it goes without saying that we should be getting three points from this one and a few goals too but with the frustration evident in the team and crowd at the moment it might not be so cut and dry. Would like to see a good positive line up from Benitez so we can take the game to them from the very start and hopefully get a nice early lead that we can build on. My team selection: --------Reina------------- Arb--Carra---Agger---Insua Babel--Ste--Alonso---Riera -------Kuyt--Keane------- Start out something like this with Babel and Kuyt swapping around, if they're sitting with 11 men behind the ball i'd bring off kuyt and go with either Benni or Ngog.
Need the crowd to do their stuff on Sat too. Whatever the team selection, support EVERY player, even if it's 0-0 after 75 mins, support the team. Fcuk off with yer booing, moaning and groaning with every misplaced pass. Take a leaf from last weeks game at Blackburn where the support kept supporting and we eventually got the breakthrough. AND FCUKING SING, CLAP, SHOUT AND SUPPORT. If the crowd do their part, I;m sure the team will do theirs and come sat night, we'll still be top of the league.
RedArmagh you hit the nail on the head with that comment and the team you picked is spot on i would have picked the same team
would def have hyppia in the team - hull r excellent in the air, turner the centre back and the two boys up top are big men. its tailor made for hyppia. would agree with the rest of the lineup, but against bolton and west ham u see that hyppia is by a mile our best header of the ball and in this game we're gonna need one.
i know what you guys are saying about sami, only thing about it is that hull like fulham, west ham, stoke etc are going to come to anfield and make it difficult for us to break them down, thats why agger stepping into midfield with the ball making the 5th man could be crucial. If sami is needed what about carra at right bk and agger and sami in cb- even tho jamie is much better at CB.
I would take a scrappy boring 1-0 with a goal bundled in off the arse off kuyt in the 93rd minute. I dont care how we win as long as we keep it up. It wont be easy, but Hull will try and play and wont just park the bus in front of our goal. Therefore I dont see a boring 0-0 here
Would like to see us go out and hammer them should really go for it i think Reina Arbeloa Carra Sami Insua Kuyt Gerrard Alonso Riera Babel Keane Would also like to see Ngog and El Zhar have another go but definatly has to be 3 points first
