That Liverpool emblem doesn't deserve to be as big as ours.
Berbatov and Rooney.
Park or Giggs?
3-0
Rooney hattrick, 7 more to go
Rooney hattrick, 7 more to go
Big question is how will we line up. Will we play with Berbatov up front or go with Park just off Rooney like we did with Milan and get him to do a job on Gerrard/Lucas who always has a good game against us.
Must play 4-3-3. Their little run against us coincides with us playing 4-4-2 in our last 3 games against them.
Should be nice and easy, this. Liverpool are worse than they've been in a long time, with the most clueless manager in the country at the helm. And with the run of form they're in, coming to the home of the best team in the country by a mile should make for good viewing. We'll fecking rape them.
Park, he had a great game coming off the bench today and did a great job against A.C so I'd really like to see him start

This. Altnernatively Carrick for Nani, and switch with Park.
As long as Scholes is ok for this (withdrew from the warm up today wih an ankle injury
) then id go with this to, if Scholes is not fit then play Park where we did against Milan just off Rooney.......................Van Der Sar
.Neville.......Ferdinand.......Vidic........Evra
................ Fletcher........Carrick

Yep, thats what I'd go with
The Pool fullbacks are dire. Johnson is shite defensively and Insua is just plain shite. Have to make that count.
Valencia v Insua makes me
exactly. We're playing a mid level premiership team that's going to struggle to beat Pompey before they face us.
Rafa will play with 9 at the back and leave Torres up front to do the donkey work. The only real worry is Torres. The rest of the team is shite or have already checked out for the summer (Gerrard, Carra, Insua).
Who's the ref for this game? Cause with dirty feckers like Starfish, Lucas and Masherano he will need to be on his toes.

Assuming we beat Chelsea, we can actually afford to draw this game. We need to beat all the other teams remaining in our fixture, though (by big margins too).
Take out Giggs and replace him with Nani.
Giggs can come off the bench. He hasn't played in 4 weeks and this is not the type of game that he should start.
We need to fecking WIN this game.
A Draw against Chelsea who are a much better team is more likely. We simply can't lose to a team that's going to finish 7th.
451.
Let's hope we can continue with the clean sheet and a couple more for Wayne

Hope Mr. Walton is nowhere near Manchester next sunday.

Me Likey like.
This.
Also, Dippers play Lille at Analfield on Thursday so another plus in our favor. There better not be a effort problem this time - this is title on the line time plus payback.
As sweet as beating Liverpool always is, a win this time round would pile pressure on them to beat Chelsea later in the season in their race for 4th place.
I don't think that comes into it. The bitter cnuts will roll over regardless of it hurting their 4th spot chances
We shouldn't rush Giggs back for this game when Valencia/Nani have both been in good form. The only change i'd make is swap over Berbatov with Park enabling us to have a little more energy in the middle.
Just like Oles prediction above. Should be enough time to recharge the batteries, then we have a quality bench to fall back on if things aren't going our way.

That's a fecking big assumption!
Its a must win. No two ways about it. At home, week's rest and the scouse play a cup tie on thursday and a league game on monday. Both of the games, they are forced to field their best line-ups.
We just cant let up in the race now. Especially when there's 3 of us vying for the title.

i hope your right dude!
I am nervous about how the game will go. We should hammer them on paper but form goes out the window as we know.
I'll settle for one nil but I hope and pray we hammer them about 6 nil. Put them out of the running for 4th place. Torres and that gerrard prick leave and the club falls apart becasue of no CL football
now that would be nice
Aye, Arsenal's kind programme demands us to win nearly every game. We should beat Liverpool, Rafa has gone ultra-negative since their shocking run of results, they have barely any confidence, and play twice while we rest.
The fahct it's a cup final should lift them though
I'd much rather they were still in the running for 4th place, considering who they play in their second to last game.
My point is that if we end up drawing this game, we can still make it up by beating Chelsea. A draw is not a disastrous results.
Your forgetting Arsenal......
I think their form will go out of the window for this game. I know it's cliche but it's true.
