I saw Liverpool play Fulham live in an Asian Trophy preseason tourney years ago in HK. Portsmouth also played, as did South China (a HK club team).

I remember being very impressed with the small but vocal block of Pompey fans, real good fun. Fulham had about three supporters, all sitting primly near the front, their pasty white bankers limbs sticking out of their shorts and replica shirts.

No idea if that is a representative group of Fulham fans, but fortunately at least one of the Fulham players spotted them and gave them a clap.

We need to get 3 points tonight, as we head into a packed Christmas programme with a thin squad. I read that Rodgers is thinking he needs to rest Sterling and Allen, but he's not quite sure who to replace them with. Perhaps he hasn't noticed Suso, Assaidi, Cole, Downing, Shelvey and Sahin on the training pitch of late. We've got a run of winnable games ahead and after the Villa debacle the team will be wanting to set things right tonight, and that is exactly what I'm expecting from whatever team he fields.

No disrespect to Fulham and their fans, but I expect we'll get back on track tonight. A scrappy 1-0 win.

I will take any kind of 3 points today.

We have to bounce back after the villa trashing.

Is it true that we haven't scored against these in 5 years?

The Reds team in full is:

Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Lucas, Gerrard, Shelvey, Suso, Downing, Suarez.

Subs: Jones, Carragher, Wisdom, Allen, Sterling, Sahin, Henderson.

Well I'm glad Allen and Sterling are given a rest, but why isn't Assaidi given a chance? And I would rather start with Sahin or Henderson than with Shelvey.

thats the start we want - good finish skittles

by **Kash_Mountain** » Sat Dec 22, 2012 6:39 pm

Nice goal by Sktel

by **Raoul** » Sat Dec 22, 2012 6:40 pm

I'd call that a reasonably good start.

He's injured.

Good start - need a second.

Are we 4-3-3 or 4-4-2??

Can't imagine Rodgers would allow that. 4-4-2 has become a type of anti-football.

Just thought Shelvey looked quite central. Are Shelvey and Suso two of the front three then - missed the start?

by **NorfolkRed** » Sat Dec 22, 2012 6:55 pm

as misses go that is pretty spectacular - upper tier from a yard out

by **Kash_Mountain** » Sat Dec 22, 2012 6:56 pm

How did Agger miss that?
