    No excuses for not hammering these scouse c**ts, right up there with one of the worst Liverpool sides in recent years.

    We are due a good performance too (excluding the Hull game)
     
    LVG must be so brave against these cnuts, they were so shaky today. We must raise our confidence and totaly forget about our shocking display vs Southampton. Back four is key and Sh1t on 3-5-2 for goodness sake.
     
    Everything else than a win would be disappointing for me, they are awful. Even if they raise their game, they will be still awful. Forget our defence and attack them, they are as shaky and have a clown in the goal instead of Dave.
     
    I know form goes out of the window in these types of games but feck me, I'll be so disappointed if we don't turn them over and continue our run.
     
    Id love to actually hammer them about 4 or 5 nil with 11 v 11,so that they would have no excuses.

    Van Persie - Rooney
    ​
    I wouldn't be adverse to Fellaini over Mata or Herrera though or even Falcao for Mata with Rooney at 10. Surely Falcao will have done a few double training sessions by now.
     
    Watch these c*nts somehow regain some confidence for Sunday, they are a shambolic side right now.

    The following morning, RAWK mods are banning angry posters left, right and centre till the thread is filled with people claiming how a loss to us was indeed a sign of progress and how they now have the players and mentality to take on the whole of Europe.....erm, Europa League after getting knocked out by Basel in mid-week. Brendon Rodgers comes out with a quote about how well Van Gaal is doing for a newbie, claiming that "You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette. We needed this loss to assess our strengths as a group so we can finally move forward."

    I'm always wary with these games, sides in poor form always seem to pick up when playing us.
     
    We have a very good keeper, they don't.

    We have good attacking players who can actually score goals, they don't.

    Make no bones about it, I'll be fuming if we don't get 3 points. feck all that 'form goes out the window' nonsense.

    No worry after this today. They are in the mess . They were poor on the pitch and now they are low on morale too. With 442 we will destroy them

    Love that side. It's what I would go with if everyone is fit. Although Not sure if Rafa or Shaw will be ready?

    They're due back for it its just whether Van Gaal is happy with their match fitness with no games under third belt. Hopefully they've been training well.

    What were their injuries exactly? Hopefully it'll be another case like Rojo where they can pick up where they left off the moment they've recovered, because that team does look great.
     
    Would be happy if we win 1:0 .. it's enough, win is a win, and that would mean 6 wins in a row. We all know no matter how shit they are, they are a different side when they play against us.
     
    They remind me of us last season. Really don't think they will get it back together.

    Predict a cruising 4-1 win.
     
    If the gods of football get together and decide to have it our way, we can have Liverpool down to 13th place if we win :lol:

    This. A variety of options with the front three but anything other than that back seven (or as close as can be achieved with injuries - Valencia for Rafa, Young for Shaw etc) and I'll be pulling my hair out.

    Evans and Rojo were both nervous under pressure and horribly weak in the air against Soton. With Smalling out, the only way we can protect the defence in this match is to dominate possession. Do that, setting the correct tone from the start, and Rojo and Evans, with their comfort on the ball and passing ability, will look like assets.

    Start five at the back, Fellaini in midfield and leave out the likes of Herrera or Mata and within fifteen minutes the game will have slipped into a pattern of us being unable to hold the ball and Liverpool being allowed to attack freely which it will be very difficult to change no matter what we do. Evans and Rojo will quickly be under immense pressure and will start hoofing the ball away, missing passes and making potentially fatal mistakes. Once the game is in a rut like that no substitute or formation change is going to be able to get us back in control.

    Dominating possession in this game is something our squad is more than capable of doing. Despite Rodgers' self-styling as a possession guru, his team are not good enough to outplay ours in the middle of the park if we start the right players. Look at the like-for-like comparisons. Herrera and Henderson. Carrick and Lucas. Di Maria and Gerrard. Mata and Lallana. There's no contest - if we want to keep the ball, and set out believing that we can, we will.

    The way we set out against Southampton was, with all due respect, Moyes-esque. Defeatist, underrating our own players, cowardly. I'll be fecking livid if we make the same mistakes and pay the price against the shower of shite that is Liverpool FC right now.

    The only complaint is the pace of the front 3, we should be looking to pin them back, Herrera or Di Maria at the point and Fellaini right of the diamond. Mata will miss this one, we need to get about the field.
     
    Wanna smash these game raising cnuts. They've been absolutely awful, worse than even we were last year and without a proper striker!

    3-0.
     
    I really don't think it's as straight forward as we must win cause they're terrible..we were abject last night. Got a great result, but that performance..
    Next game they are under enormous pressure to perform. So it's not a normal version of their cup final. It would be fantastic to get a top performance and a win, but I'd be delighted with any sort of performance and three points..can be a great platform to build on

    Expecting a nervy affair, separated by a one goal margin
     
    I'm going with a 3-1 win. Stevie G to score first with a dodgy penalty/deflected free kick, no doubt.
     
    Gerrard will be shattered, doubt he'd even have the legs for a run up to a set piece, wouldn't worry too much about him scoring...

    Doesn't seem to be much left to pick up in this pool side, they're utterly useless and I expect us to dominate this game. We may not win by a huge margin in terms of goals, not really bothered as long as we show ourselves as the better team, all I want is a solid match with 4 at the back.
     
    A convincing win with a much improved performance is a great way to show the league we're making progress. What was it, one win all season against the top 9 last year?
     
    Be really good to see Rooney turn up for this game. He is yet to play good against the Scousers, and that includes Everton. His game against Southampton was typical of him coming back from injury, so hopefully he is physically and mentally up for it.

    RVP looked good last game, some good involvement and some good hold up play.

    Don't want Evans in the team, all his performances this year have reflected last year's form.

    So really hoping for :

    DDG
    Rafael Jones Rojo Shaw
    Valencia Herrera Carrick Di Maria
    Rooney RVP

    If Rafael is not ready then move Valencia back and bring in Mata but put behind Rooney and RVP
    If Shaw not ready then bring Young back in
    If Di Maria not ready then I might be tempted to play Wilson up front and move Rooney into Di Maria place.

    Don't need physicality of Fellani against the scousers, just mobility.
     
    Van Persie is just gonna score so many goals, but I would like to see Falcao play more than 20 minutes
     
    Would be very surprised to see Shaw, Rafael or Di Maria start the game. Do hope Smalling is OK and that we go with 4 at the back. Would prefer to have Januzaj playing than Mata just so we have a relatively pacey outlet (even though he's yet to play well for a while now)
     
    This match could turn out to be some sort of a classic scoreline such as 3-3 or 4-3...
     
    I'm pretty confident we'll win this. They looked knackered tonight and are pretty toothless with Lambert up top. 3-0!
     
    Lol at people expecting a win against liverpool because they're awful. They where awful for most of the fergie era and we still found it difficult to beat them then.

    Form always goes out the window when we face them.

    And it's really annoying.

    Not just them too, I remember us struggling to beat Wolves when they were one of the worst teams.

    I'm not being some sort of killjoy. We can beat them and we should, but have seen us struggling when being favourites on paper.

    Stevie G is a big game player.
    He will turn up.
    He'll probably score.
    Physically he may be past it, but mentally, he is just as strong.
    I think of all 22 players on the pitch, he will be the player who wants to win the most on Sunday.
    Of course, wanting to win and actually winning are 2 different things.
