just over an hour before kick-off,
gonna be a good test of the new liverpool team,
when can we expect squad news?

Chong · 13-08-2005 03:58PM

Just stayed tuned to their website.

Guy:Incognito · 13-08-2005 03:59PM

Not asking much out of this game. A goal each from Luis Garcia and Gerrard and a clean sheet for Carra will do nicley for my fantasy premier league 1st weekend.

Course a goal from Carra wouldnt be unwelcome, but he 's already scored this decades goal.

Drag00n79 · 13-08-2005 04:01PM

I'd be a little worried about Yakubu making his competitive debut but I'll go with a 2-1 win. A win and no injuries would be my wish.

Chong · 13-08-2005 04:01PM

I hope Carra scores and keeps a clean sheet because he is in my FF team.

mayordenis · 13-08-2005 04:02PM

id much rather see cisse and nando on the score sheet we really need a strikers scoring this season.

Necronomicon · 13-08-2005 05:03PM

Zenden has recovered from injury to start against the team he was player of the season for last year, probably to a chorus of boos. Hard to predict any game at the very start of the season, but with Liverpool's summer additions I think they'll win.

Davey Devil · 13-08-2005 05:07PM

Liverpool go 4-5-1 with Morienties up front and Cisse on bench. It's gonna be a paint dryer.

Ehiogu (man I can't spell)

stevoslice · 13-08-2005 06:51PM

mike65 · 13-08-2005 06:59PM

This has got 0-0 written all over it. Baros is on.

Mike.

PHB · 13-08-2005 07:06PM

poor show from liverpool. Gerrard should have killed off this game like 6 times

zokrez · 13-08-2005 07:07PM

I am afraid Liverpool are gong to struggle yet again , in the premiership. If we are going to have any chance, these are the games we MUST win. 0-0. Full time.

stevoslice · 13-08-2005 07:07PM

FT 0-0, not a bad start i suppose, boro are a good side n that, yada yada yada, wanted a good win though.

zokrez · 13-08-2005 07:10PM

Liverpool actually played well and in particular in the 2nd half. Gerrard should have scored.

jubbly · 13-08-2005 07:14PM

0-0, not bad not great

mike65 · 13-08-2005 07:16PM

My fivers down the pan but its two points more than the same game last season. Hey we're gonna finnish forth!

Mike.

StickyMcGinty · 13-08-2005 07:16PM

well we were all over them for the whole game and should have won, but it was a strong performance for an away tie.

sissoko was hungry for every ball on the pitch, had a good game, defence looked strong too - gerrard and xabi put in good performances, cisse was muck but he was out if position, baros looked like he just didnt want to be there.

the biggest disappointment though was boros attitude that they were delighted to get a point at home, i was disgusted when they just killed the game with the last corner, really negative stuff!

Davei141 · 13-08-2005 07:19PM

What on earth is going on. Benitez watches cisse and morientes tear sofia apart mid-week then decides to play morientes on his own up front. Garcia who normally links up with the striker was out on the wing until he was took off, he crossed 0 balls. Cant believe not one of gerrards chances didnt go in, he played quite well. Sissoko had a very good game, won alot of ball. Alonso wasnt the best. The defenders didnt have much to do. Cisse when he came on was superb, shame there was only baros in the box. I wasnt expecting this match to be any good, everytime we play them at home its tediously painful to watch, but i hoped all the same. We really have to use 2 strikers from the start.

Chardee MacDennis · 13-08-2005 07:19PM

just shows you we need an out and out RW, Garcia is as weak as a kitten and gives the ball away way too much. Cisse just not a winger but seems to be our only option for the moment

We got -1 for the game last season?

Chong · 13-08-2005 07:21PM

Benitez is one serious fussy git tbh why cant play two strikers EPL has he got a mental block or something.

mike65 · 13-08-2005 07:23PM

Ooops! Okay one more point, we're still goning to finnish forth though.

Mike.

Davei141 · 13-08-2005 07:25PM

cisse was muck but he was out if position, baros looked like he just didnt want to be there.

Ah i have to disagree, cisse put in loads of crosses that were missing all game (Zenden and garcia crosses 1 ball between them) and he won free kicks in menacing positions. Baros didnt really have a chance to do anything when boro packed around the box. He did put the pass that sent gerrard through only to have ehiogh (whatever) chop him down shamefully. Really gutted, should of won. I hope benitez is more attacking at the start of the next away match.

Ronan|Raven · 13-08-2005 07:25PM

Sack Benitez quick!

Chong · 13-08-2005 07:26PM

Finishing 4th is not a goal ,ye are Liverpool once the biggest team in England . You should be aiming for first and no lower.

cisse was sh1te, his touch was aweful, and i wouldnt call getting chopped down by the reckless quedrue a plus on his performance!

garcia was ****e, i'm really likin this sissoko feller though

on another day we would have run out 5 nil winners, dont worry lads a top 3 finish is on the cards this was a much more improved team than last year

Dont be at yourself · 13-08-2005 07:37PM

Dire, dire game.

4-5-1 is fine when we travel away to teams that are going to put us under pressure, but Middlesboro never attempted to do that to us. Rafa needs to stick two strikers up front against these teams away from home.

Cisse hasn't convinced me as a winger, he makes some sloppy passes and I think he'd be much more potent up front.

Sissoko had a good game, he looks like a good buy and should offer cover/fresh legs in place of Alonso or Stevie G.

Chardee MacDennis · 13-08-2005 07:45PM

i think we played well, we were away from home and we limited the home side to 0 shots on goals. dominated the game, a little unlucky gerrard didnt score, but i am pleased. we will only go from strength to strength
