How many games in a row though? Can't be many at all.

Fingers crossed it's not the case. :-/

daithijjj · 26-12-2011 04:25AM

He has played 3 league games in a row, Spurs/Wolves/Everton, thats his longest run.

Started 1 of last 6. 2 goals, no assists for season in league.

He wont be going anywhere in January anyway with Suarez ban in the pipeline.

LuckyLloyd · 26-12-2011 04:32AM

There is no market for Andy Carroll's services. He'll be a Liverpool player for the foreseeable future.

daithijjj · 26-12-2011 04:49AM

His only defining talent for resale right now is his Englishness alright.

ush · 26-12-2011 07:21AM

Would De Jong be the man to start banging them in right away? I'd be worried about a settling in period. And we don't really have that time.

45 mil joint bid for Eriksen and Vertonghen?

http://www.elfvoetbal.nl/nieuws/156097_ajax-wil-cisse-liverpool-biedt-45-miljoen-voor-eriksen-en-vertonghen

I especially liked this bit ....

Volgens Ajaxf-side.nl zou Liverpool een bedrag van maar liefst 45 miljoen euro overhebben voor de verdiensten van zowel Eriksen als Vertonghen. Mocht dit doorgang vinden dan zouden de twee herenigd kunnen worden met oud-Ajacied Luis Suárez, die afgelopen zomer naar Engeland vertrok.

:pac:

Bad online translation

In accordance with ajaxf-Side en would Liverpool an amount of no fewer than 45 million euro bear with me for the merits of both eriksen as vertonghen. If this would go ahead than the two may be reunited with old-ajacied Luis suárez, who went to England last summer.

slingerz · 26-12-2011 11:59AM

Carroll to start today, will help limit Samba's aerial threat

Started five on the trot last season.

Ahh boll0x just read Cavani been linked with Chelsea .

Feckers have ruined my last two long term wish list signings.
First Mata then Lukaku now Cavani

Bowlardo · 26-12-2011 02:21PM

what are the chances of stevie getting a good run out today?

Doubt he'll even feature TBH

Fowler87 · 26-12-2011 02:47PM

Really need to tear Blackburn apart today. Have a good record normally at home against them. Even won last year under Woy against them:pac:

Leiva · 26-12-2011 02:50PM

There is no way I'm getting anyway excited or predicting three points today .

But if we don't win this then there will be some big questions asked and top4 aspirations will have to be revaluated.

Don't underestimate today's and Fridays game .

Six points and we are well in the mix , get a boost and hopefully push on .
Fail and it could be the start of the rot .

That's how much I value the next two games.

ynwa_17 · 26-12-2011 03:05PM

Reina; Johnson, Agger, Skrtel, Enrique; Maxi, Henderson, Adam, Downing; Carroll, Suarez.

I like the look of that. Gerrard on the bench

Edit:

Subs bench:

Gerrard, Kuyt, Carragher, Doni, Shelvey, Kelly, Bellamy.

Decent options off the bench if Gerrard is able to play some part

Hmm, hard to know. Looks a bit lightweight in midfield at first glance. Blackburn might not be as physical as the past few seasons but we don't have much to boss them with there. Really hope Downing does something today, he's looking worse each time i see him.
I think its no harm giving Carroll time up front with Suarez cutting in. After all, we've scored fck all when Carroll hasn't played (giving him 5 minutes barely counts) ...therefore why not look at something else up top.
Looking forward to the game now.
Bollix...Mata just scored.

Tusky · 26-12-2011 03:15PM

What does Bellamy have to do to hold down a starting place? Unless its a fitness issue...

ynwa_17 · 26-12-2011 03:16PM

I think its a fitness issue. A point was made about it in the Wigan game. We also have quiet a number of fixtures over the cover weeks or two

Dont be at yourself · 26-12-2011 03:18PM

Glad that Maxi's starting. Himself and Suarez play quality stuff together...

Theres a fap joke here somewhere.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 26-12-2011 03:29PM

Could be interewsting see Gerrard, Carroll and Suarez combining...

mike65 · 26-12-2011 03:31PM

There is a match thread.

murpho999 · 26-12-2011 03:33PM

Am I alone in not being excited by the inclusion of Maxi?

His positional play is good but he offers little else, doesn't tackle, creates little and often disappears in games, but for some reason he seems to escape criticism and people love him.

Have you looked at his scoring record over the last 6 months?

Yes I have but most have been handed to him on a plate, and he created one against Fulham.

I know he's scored some goals but I think his overall contribution is poor in my opinion.

I'd include him solely on the fact that he seems to be on the same wavelength as Suarez.

Sir Gallagher · 26-12-2011 05:55PM

Utterly sh1te. Big questions need to be asked.

doc_17 · 26-12-2011 06:03PM

In the match thread people are wondering why every gk has a great game at Anfield but I'm wondering why every Liverpool striker is having a sh1t game at Anfield.

That last chace should have been bagged by Carroll...no ifs, buts or maybes...back of the net...end off.

This nonsense of not starting Bellamy has to end. Henderson offers NOTHING.

Grayditch · 26-12-2011 06:06PM

There we are. The result we were looking for. 1-1 agaisnt Blackburn Rovers, bottom of the league, at Anfield.

We don't deserve 4th, to be honest. Good luck to Arsenal and Spurs getting into the CL anyway, with the passion and consistency they're showing.

No it was the missed header that riled me. I twas an open goal FFS and he puts it wide:rolleyes:
