Gonna have to sneak out of work to catch this one, hopefully another stylish home performance and a comfortable win
Alonso and Agger both out for a few weeks. Think Agger is gone for about 6 and Alonso 8 but it hasn't been confirmed. With that in mind I'd go with: Reina Finnan Carra Sami Aurelio Pennant Gerrard Masch Babel Torres Kuyt I'd give Arbeloa a break and let Aurelio show what he can do incase we need Arbeloa for centre half in October.
Reina Arbeloe Carra Sami jar Babel Gerrard Masch Leto Torres Kuyt Drop pennant for this one and finnan, i thought finnan looked unfit/slow on tuesday night
Right lads & lassies As there is likely to be a significant number of IrishKop members going to this one and it's on the box ... I've got a challenge for you. - Get your mugs on TV, somehow & if you manage to get a plug in for www.IrishKop.com I'll throw in a voucher for Play.com or CDwow.com or something - say €25 for the laugh. Conditions: - the plug for this site has to be clear for all to read / hear, as appropriate & witnessed by at least one of the Moderators @ IrishKop.com (either witnessing you at the game doing it, or on the telly where your spotted with a large banner and the website address or something). - I'm the judge and the judges decision is final - Sorry, but Mods are not allowed to enter this one, it's just for a laugh really !
Warning,do not run onto the pitch in the nip with Irishkop.com across your backside. Unless you look like reder/homer1 Avatars.
& if you do look like either of those avatars please do run out on the pitch, turn left at the main exit, hop on a train to the nearest airport, next flight to Dublin...call me & I'll collect you no charge
Would expect a comprehensive victory to nil, to make up for last two uninspiring away performances (with good results mind you). I'd go with ...............Pepe................... JAR Sami Carra Arbeloa Yossi SG Momo Pennant .........Torres.........Kuyt.......
Don't worry he's currently fighting it out with Insua and Leto for a place in my reserve team against Reading next week.
very tough game midweek and id say the lads will be knackered after it. nevertheless hope we field our strongest team possible on saturday. 3 points is a must. pennant to be rested. suspect rafa will make way more changes to the team below though Reina Finnan Carragher Hyypia Arbeloa Yossi Gerrard Masher Babel Torres Voronin
Reina. Finnan. Carra. Hyypia. Arbeloa. Babel. Stevie G. Mascha. Benayoun. Nando. Kuyt. 3-0 super reds. Nando 2, and Stevie 1
I'll take a workmanlike 2 - 0 with my old reliable DK to score first - if he doesn't claim the poxy goal this time Ill have him....
reading this when i should be in bed getting me beauty sleep for a 7am start to Liverpool in the morning... BUT just for the record I expect Birmingham to put up a very strong resistance and expect it to take until 20 mins to go before we hopefully break them and score ....hope Im very wrong
Well I think it should be another Anfield stroll for us today. If it was an away game I'd be concerned about them putting up a fight, but not many are able to come to Anfield and put up a fight these days. 3-0, two for Torres and Stevie G
