Nice to see we have all regained our confidence after a few poor displays

Liverpool need to stop and go back to basics. 4-4-2 plain and simple. and play simple football. Pass and move rather than 60 yard balls up to Kuyt and Voronin and then see what happens, usually nothing. Pass and move is the only way we'll succeed.

god_bless_john_houlding - liverpool will never play that type of game under Rafa.

Well then Benitez has to go, because otherwise we'll be fighting it out for third and fourth for another 10 years before the board realise "sh!t we've made another mistake." Liverpool of the 70s and 80s played pass and move. United of the 90s the same. Chelsea when they won the league played great attacking fluenet football and now United and Arsenal both playing proper football and they're the top 2 in the league. Coincidence? Football wins football matches. Aiminglessly throwing a ball up to the opposing back four will not win you major trophies. Back to basics for Liverpool Football Club or wave goodbye to another year without the Premiership.

You know what? i agree. Sick of watching long ball tactics thrown into the play without having any impact whatsoever. Pass and Move please...

by **red_guy** » Fri Nov 02, 2007 3:01 am

Anyway, the part about benitez going...aaaa i agree on the pass and move part.

by **god_bless_john_houlding** » Fri Nov 02, 2007 3:05 am

Like it was said earlier we wont play pass and move under Benitez. So if we want to see football being played properly by a Liverpool side, then either Benitez goes or we wait 50 odd years until the board finally appoint a footballing manager.

i don't like this match, brad friedel again will make top saves and will play unbelievably well.

by **mungi** » Fri Nov 02, 2007 7:34 am

pass and move. i dream of the day rafa will play his team like this. i think we could play like this consdiering we r a very good counter attacking team. instead of waiting for them to make a mistake we should be going after them

Hey guys, my first post

!!
IMO we need to win this to keep in touch with united/arsenal!!!

Would stick with the 4-4-2 formation:

Reina
Finnan Carragher Hyypia Riise
Mascherano
Benayoun Kewell
Gerrard
Crouch Kuyt

I agree, we needed the pace-y players... and in this line up we dont really have it.
Torres + pennant are a big loss for this game. and i dont see babel being able to play 2 halves perfect halves without mistakes. Crouch needs a start tho...

by **tubby** » Fri Nov 02, 2007 9:41 am

We cant lose this game. We already behind them as it is. At least Savage is out so maybe we will come away from this game without any injuries.

by **red_guy** » Fri Nov 02, 2007 9:43 am

Welcome StevieL..i like the "i dont see babel being able to play 2 halves perfect halves without mistakes" part.

by **StevieL** » Fri Nov 02, 2007 9:45 am

haha, i just mean after watching him play... as time goes on, he seems to play crapper and crapper and crapper :P!

by **mattylfc** » Fri Nov 02, 2007 10:02 am

How i think we may line up:

Reina

Finnan JC Agger Arbeloa

Benayoun Masch Gerrard Babel

Crouch Voronin

by **red_guy** » Fri Nov 02, 2007 11:16 am

Put Babel as a sub. He's no good playing 90 mins.
