-We will be without Garcia,Traore on Sunday. Though the odds are stacked against us, getting something out of the game is definetly not impossible. West Bromich and Crystal Palace both held Arsenal to a draw which is quite impressive. If they can accomplish such a thing, we should be able to do the same thing if we play with inteligence and heart.

-A month or so ago Manchester City did the unthinkable really, they were victorious over Chelsea. Yes they parked a bus in front of their goal but they got the job done. We need to do the same despite all the injuries.

-Arsenal have been weakened since losing to Manchester United, and right now their main weakness is set pieces. Even with Sol Campbell today they conceeded yet another goal from a set piece against PSV. There is still hope for us.

-The lads know that this game might be the most important game of the season so it is important that we give it all we got come Sunday.

Post your comments [please at least try not to post anything negative, we do not need such things now]

We certainly need to roll the sleeves up for this one.What worries me is -theyll be giving it that bit extra because its Liverpool. I think we can sneak a win ,but even if we lose I wont be too disappointed because it wont be by much. The way things are going for us with desicions and injuries-we can still put in a good team performance and beat anyone.

I expect it to be close. Anyone saying we are gonna get done 3 or 4 is way off beam in my view. We are due a performance, it will be a big atmosphere and a smidge of luck wouldn't go amiss either. A win may be a big ask but a low score draw is a big possibility in my view. We'll need to find a goal from somewhere though, I can't see us keeping a clean sheet. Maybe a Hyppia header from a set-piece. Whatever, if we do get done it'll be by the odd goal in my view.

Watched Arsenal tonight: Pires and Reyes are really off form, and I expect only one of them to start, unless Henry isn't fit, as Bouma gave him a few knocks on his ankle, achilles and calves.

I've heard that Henry is injured.

just seen celtic get a draw at the mighty barca, it gives me hope for sunday. Amazing what a bit of pride and passion can do for a team.

^Bingo mate. [Also Van Persie was carried off the pitch, so that rules him out propably]

I'd be amazed if we did it. But if there was ever a time we really really needed a morale booster like that it's now.

Josemi is likely to be out too (whew....). Cuz 20 stitches to the head doesn't mean u can head the ball with aplomb.

All I can say is that Arsenal's players are probably as jaded as ours. They been playing the same guys week in, week out. But their youth team is very strong. Wenger gave them a run during Carling Cup games and they played the 1st team of other clubs off the pitch.

That said, however, Wenger is unlikely to give them a run vs us on Sunday. So it will be jaded players vs jaded players lol......
