    Don't you just hate it when those non amazing squads get 86 points in a season, running the champions to the second last game, and placing our highest points total ever in the premiership?

    Who said Masch isn't playing?
    And I can easily see Dirk getting on the score sheet.
    Again.

    Riera is due, and Babel has been showing glimpses of his old form.
    Johnson has been a revalation this season.
    etc

    The midfield isn't a joke.
    we're one player down from a midfield that last season we considered the best in the world!
    Our defence is so shakey that we've considered how many goals from open play?
    3 in the league, two of which were against Chelski at the Bridge.

    And we are short in cover for Torres.
    Cause he's a one of a kind player!

    Yes second place!!!
    Dont forget how influential Alonso was in those 86 points.

    You can see Kuyt on the score sheet again, christ mystic meg is on the Liverpool thread!!! Hey Meg!

    Riera is due???? is he pregnant??

    Babels glimpses, wow lets put all our hope in glimpses!

    I agree Johnson is a great signing!

    We're two down in our midfield tomorrow because there's no Gerrard helping out.

    Our defence is so shakey even Carragher himself has said it.

    Drogba is a one of a kind player but its nice having last seasons top striker as back up when he's injured.

    Nope he's fit, raring to go, fairly rested and coming into game where he might just walk all over there defence, but yea pregnant I get it, funny.

    Babels but in 6 or 7 good sup appearances, and ye we should put our faith in Babel up front in his favoured position, maybe support him a little, you know like Supporters do.

    you said lets hope Yossi has a stormer totally ignoring the fact that Kuyt consistantly bangs in the goals & assists, you were implying Yossi was our only creative outlet for tomorrow.

    Reina
    Johnson
    Carra
    Skrtel
    Aurelio
    Masch
    Lucas
    Reira
    Kuyt
    Benayoun
    Babel

    not a bad 11 when you consider 2 of the top 10 players in the world are out injured.

    We're talking about the here and now, who we have on the squad now, why talk about who i would have bought.

    Why is that always your excuse when someone says the squad isnt strong enough, you say we didnt have the money blah blah blah as some kind of defence for it, instead of agreeing yeh we dont have strenght in depth!

    when you piss & moan about the squad, its your round about way of taking a pop at Rafa. you know it, and i know it.

    i bring up the resources available, because with what he has available to him, our squad is very good (as was proven by last seasons title challenge) & the reason our squad isn't as strong as it could be is because of the resources available.

    we have lost one huge player from last years team, but gained another huge player for this years campaign, in fact more of a huge player when it comes to attacking threat.

    we are without Torres & we have free scoring Kuyt as back up.

    that'll do.

    Carragher himself should do his talking on the pitch.

    Does Gerrard describe himself as a striker??
    We're 2 down in midfield.
    Carragher knew the criticism of the defence was right, he admitted it, you should do the same.

    You dont have to be happy with everything on the team to be a supporter!

    It doesn't matter what he describes himself as, He's been playing upfront for 2 years, in our team he's a forward.
    Why do you keep saying 2 in midfield? Mascherano is available tomorrow. Who's number 2?
    I'm happy to criticise the defence it's been way below par, read what I said again, I said Carragher should stfu and get on with his job.

    You definately do not have to be happy with everything to be a supporter.
    But you do have to support to be a supporter. The hint is in the name.

    Be some craic if he decides both Lucas and Mascho are too tired after their long flights!

    I'd like to see Kuyt and Benny as a 2 pronged strike-force, with Babel raiding down the right.

    Cant see us beating sunderland tomorrow with Gerrard and Torres out.

    Probably have lucas and masch in mid with Riera Benny and Babel and Kuyt up front as the lone striker.

    Ughhh we have such a poor squad.

    The bench is going to be painful to look at tomorrow. Ngog and Voronin dont strike me with confidence. If Babel actually plays well its anyones guess.

    For a team supposedly challenging for the title compare our squad to Arsenal,Man City,Chelsea and United we come in last.

    I reckon one of Cana or Cattermole will eventually be replacing Mascherano. Looking forward to the midfield battle. I reckon a score draw, maybe 1-1.

    I dunno, I have lost my Gerrardless/Torresless fears a little after our impressive displays/wins without them last season.

    Also, looking forward to seeing the other players like Riera and Babel getting a chance to step up. Maybe the impetus will be spread among more players tomorrow instead of being disproportionally left to two.

    It's called Henry-Arsenal Syndrome.
