I'm there Sunday for this one. I was there last season and it was uttely depressing. Infact it was one of the weakest liverpool starting eleven's i can ever remember us putting out. Fortunately, Gerrard aside, we have a clean bill of health this time around as it looks as though Agger may be back. Be good to see Carroll and Suarez together upfront because they need time together to try and form some kind of understanding and partnership.

It'll be a tight affair but I just hope it's not a case of our season fizzling out from now on. My head says a 1-1 draw but I'm ever the optimist so I'll go for a 2-1 win.

So you're the b@stard who threw the beachball! :angry:

If Suarez plays how he has been and Carroll and him can link up at all, I say 1-3. Suarez seems to be creating a lot of goals are almost creating a lot of goals in just about every game he plays.

Suarez, Suarez, Carroll.

Carroll is a newcastle fan so he hates sunderland. he's going to want to bring it to them full power. Great full league debut for him here.

we will lose 2-0

(trying reverse psychology here)

I really dont know how to call this one. I honestly think if Suarez and Carroll click from the off we'll win. Carroll against Sunderland as well so he'll be well up for it. On the flip side Sunderland have been fairly solid at their place. I'm gonna be brave and say 1:1

0 - 4 to the reds. we'll have too much for 'em. (Suarez, Carroll 2, Mereiles)

We'll come back strong imo, Suarez will be a massive boost I don't see us losing this.. I don't really see us losing many games under Kenny and Clarke. We've become a very good defensive side under Kenny.

I love the optimism, and I agree (albeit the west ham game).

I'm very excited for this match because we need to prove what type of team we are by coming out and smashing a team who plays pretty well at home.

Smashing

,This Liverpool team has no capability of smashing anything but our hopes for Silverware and Europe position. I'll be surprised seeing us bounce after the deflating display on Thursday ,i assume the players would be with low moral as well.

Maybe Kenny will Give some other players a chance to play? Pacheco ,Yovanovich anyone? some other youngsters?

Forget youngsters, play the best team every game to get the lads focused on winning every point we can from every game - if we´re serious about ever competing for the title again rather than being a mid-table club.

We have to win the league in our minds before we win it on the field.

We got smashed by west ham and we came out next game against manure and I'd say we smashed them. They had one good chance the whole game and scored because our defense let up since the game was over. I'd call that a smashing... against the league leaders...

Apparently we are capable of smashing teams.

Spurs have just drawn 0-0 at home to West Ham

We HAVE to beat Sunderland now

by **ethanr** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 3:45 pm

7 points back from spurs, same amount of games played. We still play Spurs at home, so assuming we do our job we are 4 points back from 5th.

If we want European football, we can still get it. Especially considering Spurs have been playing horribly lately.

by **Kenny Kan** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 4:33 pm

I think Merieles has to play further up field if he's going to be effective for us, like he has been. Playing him deep does him or us no end of good. Perhaps Suarez can start on the left and just roam and do what he does, stickin him on the left won't hinder his game - see the Mancs. And Kuyt on the right, ideally if Kuyt and Suarez could mix it up positionally then that would be great with the Uruguayn playing right accross the field.

Only problem in MY line-up would be the inclusion of.. Poulsen, yes I've said it P O U L S E N...

. I would throw him the side 1) because there's nobody else to play there, Spearing's a none starter for me and Poulsen will add more protection infront of our back four with Lucas beside him.

I wouldn't let Maxi or Cole hop on the coach to Sunerland nevermind giving these a game at the Stadium of light, ideally Skertel could stay behind aswell but I'm not sure if Agger's fit.

Reina

Johnson Hoofer Skert/Agger-do Wilson

Poulson Lucas

Kite Raul Suarez
