Liverpool vs. Man United

[LR7]

I was eager to see if Fabio at least made the bench, which he hasn't. Why? Is he injured - how come a player who is going out on loan is ahead of him?
.

Yeah, it's a bit weird.

 

[JaffyJoe]

I think we'll lose now after seeing this lineup. All we can hope is RVP has moments of magic.

Sorry just saw the REAL line up, Young and Giggs instead of Valencia and Kagawa.

In Moyes we trust!!!

 

[Havak]

I would have rather Valencia still to start, but hopefully Young proves me wrong. Sad to see no Kagawa, but Hernandez and Nani coming in is a massive plus IMO. Could be the difference today.

 

[Fergus' son]

Great team!!

 

[Ramshock]

Jones v Couthino wont be pretty.

 

[duffer]

I wish people would not post any old team they've seen on twitter this close to kick off just so they can be the first one to do it.

fecks with my betting!

 

[RonaldoVII]

For me Jones at RB is the biggest disappointment.
Not a bad team though I suppose.

Who should be at RB then? Fabio would be targetted and he has barely played this season.

 

[Cina]

So Valencia is finally dropped ... after having his best game for us in over a year.

 

[Carl]

Don't post unconfirmed line ups you utter weapons.

 

[Hellboy]

Starting Giggs at Anfiend again is just plain stupid, we were fecking shit last time and still won, we won't have the same luck this time around. Long afternoon ahead.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Jones v Couthino wont be pretty.

Damn right. Not after what Jones did to Rooney. Coutinho's going to get broken in half.

 

[Castia]

I'm not happy with the line up but I wouldn't say that. Giggs is starting and Valencia isn't and Valencia is a lot more defensive and cautious than Giggs.

Its the combined attacking threat of Giggs and Young that worries me.

Kagawa is surely injured though? imagine he was completely dropped from the side.

 

[100]

Jones v Couthino wont be pretty.

Why? He's a very good defender, as he showed Hazard. He's just shite going forward.

 

[All 3 United]

Bench: Lindegaard, Smalling, Buttner, Anderson, Nani, Valencia, Hernandez

 

[wonnie]

Would've preferred Valencia over Giggs for his defensive contribution

 

[kps88]

Valencia was wank against Chelsea. Glad to see Young get the nod over him so we can at least actually attack from one flank. Giggs starting at Anfield for his experience was always nailed on.

 

[vanthaman]

If Welbz is on the wing and Giggs is playing behind the striker I will probably top myself

 

[Varun]

I wish people would not post any old team they've seen on twitter this close to kick off just so they can be the first one to do it.

fecks with my betting!

Agreed. Shit thing to do just so that you get to be the 1st to post it.

 

[Man-United]

If Welbz is on the wing and Giggs is playing behind the striker I will probably top myself

I would think it's a 4-4-1-1 with Welbeck/Young wingers and Giggs AM/SS.

 

[vanthaman]

there is enough experience in the team without Giggs

 

[Stobzilla]

Good line-up, can see Nani coming on for Young and Hernandez for Giggs with Welbeck shifting out left and Van Persie then dropping off of the front if needs be.

Solid with room to change.

 

[Ole90+3]

Not confident at all. I used to look at the Liverpool line up and think we have a really good chance of getting the 3 points, but this is one of the first times I haven't.

What's RVP got up his sleeve today?

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

I wish people would not post any old team they've seen on twitter this close to kick off just so they can be the first one to do it.

fecks with my betting!

Serves you right for relying on the CAF.

 

[Amar__]

I don't mind seeing Giggs there, since Kagawa and Rooney probably aren't fit, but I don't like Young on the right, and I don't see point of Buttner being on the bench when we have Fabio who is better than him anyway, and can play on both sides too.

 

[Fergus' son]

Indeed.

 

[lilcurt]

This is going to be a boring performance!

 

[Brophs]

Well, the team just went from 'epic' to 'mediocre'.

We need a prediction game of how long it takes before you chuck a shit fit in the Kagawa thread.

 

[evra]

Run a hot bath in preparation.

 

[duffer]

Serves you right for relying on the CAF.

That's very true.

What's the deal with Kagawa, is he being Mata'd?

 

[100]

Good team, just hope Welbeck plays behind van Persie.

 

[LR7]

Who should be at RB then? Fabio would be targetted and he has barely played this season.

Fabio or Valencia.

Young has barely played either. And he didn't have a preseason. Whilst defensively solid, Jones offers very little offensively at RB.

I'd like to see Fabio given a run in Rafa's absence. He has potential too.

 

[SteveJ]

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, but heavens knows I'm miserable now.

 

[Ash_G]

Valencia was wank against Chelsea. Glad to see Young get the nod over him so we can at least actually attack from one flank. Giggs starting at Anfield for his experience was always nailed on.

He was great defensively though, think we might have been in a better counter attacking position with him and young. With the team we have I don't thin the cutting edge is really there to really break them down that much an I don't think it's got quite the same counter attacking force and as I said it lacks valencias power defensively. Oh well still a good team, capable of winning.

 

[Mersault]

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand on Wayne Rooney's omission:
"It's disappointing obviously but whatever has happened has happened and we can't go back now. We have quality players that can fill the void."

What's this? Whatever has happened has happened? What happened, didn't he suffer a cut to the head? Has there been a fall-out, sounds ominous

 

[NotoriousISSY]

Wooooo our team is amazing GGMU #MOYESBOYS

Let's all be enthusiastic ffs.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

That's very true.

What's the deal with Kagawa, is he being Mata'd?

Barely had any preseason and generally looked wank in the preseason matches he did feature in. I'd say he's probably unfit, although not being on the bench entirely is disappointing.

 

[Ludens the Red]

Its the combined attacking threat of Giggs and Young that worries me.

Kagawa is surely injured though? imagine he was completely dropped from the side.

Well Giggs will try to be fair, except his "try" will come with massive risk.

Valencia was wank against Chelsea. Glad to see Young get the nod over him so we can at least actually attack from one flank. Giggs starting at Anfield for his experience was always nailed on.

Valencia was alright against Chelsea.. Young has a lot less attacking bollocks than Valencia also, I prefer Valencias run around in a 360 - play a short pass, than Young's run forward 5 yards - run backwards than pass backwards.

 

[Sixpence]

Would've preferred Valencia over Giggs for his defensive contribution

And the fact he can keep up with the tempo in these games and isn't a passenger.

This is what happened: he got injured in training.

Against Chelsea, Young showed more bollocks going forward in 5 minutes than Valencia did all game. He looked in good shape.

 

[manusteve]

Agreed, except I don't like Young in the team AT ALL. He's shit. And Fabio is a better player than Buttner, even though both are suspect defensively.
