Liverpool Vs. Aston Villa

jonno

Well how will this one go?

After the win at Chelsea GH really needs to follow it up with a win here. It won't be easy though as Villa are on a good run at the moment.

As far as the team goes, Owen is a confirmed starter, Smicer twisted his ankle this morning in training so he is a no go. The real question is who to start in goal. Will GH risk sending out Paul Jones after only one training session with the team or will he give Luzi a run out? I reckon he will go with Jones. He's an experienced stopper so he shouldn't have much trouble patrolling his defence.

My team:

_____________Jones_____________

Otsemober__Hyypia__Biscan__Risse

___________Hamann_____________
Diouf_______Cheryou________Kewell

________Heskey___Owen_________

Subs:
Luzi
Henchoz
Le Tallac
Murphy
Pongolle

GH's probable team:

_____________Jones_____________

Henchoz__Hyypia__Biscan__Traore

___________Hamann_____________
Diouf_______Murphy________Kewell

________Heskey___Owen_________

Subs:
Luzi
Risse
Le Tallac
Cheryou
Pongolle

I'm gona go for a 2-1 home win (hopefully:()

Murphy deserves a place more than Cheyrou.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Why in the name of god is he putting Henchoz on the right, himself and Hyypia were class in the center but he SH has not got the pace for the right side. Otsemobor is fast and lends some attacking options too.

I don't like Diouf either, think he is a waster. If he ever learned to play it quickly instead of turning and turning into trouble then maybe he would go up in my estimation.

_____________ Luzi _______________
Otsemobor _ Henchoz _ Hyypia _ Traore
___________ Hammann ____________
Murphy ______ Le Tallec ______ Kewell
________ Owen _ Heskey __________

I think Diouf has a lot to learn too. But he is effective at times. I like the idea of Le Tallac playing but I also want to see what Cheryou has to offer.

eirebhoy

I don't get to see Liverpool much but what has Risse al done to deserve a place on the bench?

jonno

He's been inconsistant of late. Brilliant attacking player but has been found out defensively lately. I'll always include him over Traore anyway until Vignal comes back. Then we migth have a bit of competition on our hands

mike65

I wont even try to guess the formation beyond Owen and Heskey, will 'Pool suffer a hangover after the Bridge? I fear so...:(

we will wipe the floor with pool. they will be too complacent after their win at stanford bridge. we`re full of confidence after our 13/15 point run we are strong where liverpool are week, our midfield is combatant and well organised. gareth barry will make harry kewell look like kevin kilbane.

Ye must be joking, Murphy has been rubbish all season. In the Chelsea game he was terrible. (As was Harry Kewell btw). His first touch and passing were a disgrace.
Murphy is nowhere near consistent enough to be playing week-in-week-out for a top team like Liverpool.

Here come the jibes !

Well the team has been named. Pretty much as I posted above except Risse is back in for Traore. Henchoz continues at right back and that sod Murphy still in midifeld

This from bbc

Tory leader 'wants Houllier axed'


Conservative leader Michael Howard has reportedly suggested Liverpool FC should axe Gerard Houllier and replace him with Celtic boss Martin O'Neill.

Mr Howard, a keen Liverpool fan, was overheard saying: "We need O'Neill, but the end of the season is not soon enough. We need him now."

A Tory spokesman confirmed he had discussed the issue with fellow fans.

"He is passionate in his support and like any football fan he will discuss the fortunes of his team," he said.

Honours even boys 1-1. I have B'gham to beat Soton in my Pools for charity. I've already lost one lifeline in 11 games I had Boro to beat Charlton at Riverside and Charlton won 0-1.
Can't afford to lose another lifeline.

Someone please shoot Delaney!!!!


Og wanker, I knew We'd **** it up well couldn't keep the run going forever.

Vignal has gone to Espanyol until the end of the season.

anyone see Owens miss - a classic - 1 yard I reckon -maybe 2

Bad Miss Ok, he is obviously not at his sharpest having just returned from injury.

mike65

God that Diouf! One min he looks like a decent footballers the next he playing like there's not another red shirt he can pass to. Houllier or someone really should teach him how to look...

Mike.

jonno

I agree Mike, he looked deserate from what it showed in the highlights. The sooner he is shipped off to the African Nations Cup the better. I thought he was making right midfield his own at that start of the season but he seems to be going backwards now. Then again when he's away we'll probably have Murphy trying to fill the role If only Ritchie Partridge was fit maybe GH would give him a try cos after all Diouf is a striker. But GH obviously has his mind set on Diouf in that position with the imminent summer signing of another striker (Cisse) so we will probably never get to see Diouf's true potential

As for Owen's miss Obviously just a bit of rustiness getting back into it.

Commanding performance from Hamann except for the one mistake I saw, and once again Heskey did really well.

Kone

Another 3 points in the bag!
