Wenger is sure to rest 1 or 2 at least. Im hoping he plays a strong team. Flamini is sure to play, podolski too. Id say we are looking at fabianski, sagna, mertesacker, koschielny, gibbs, flamini, arteta, ox,, podolski, bentdner, gnarby. Liverpool will play a full strength tho they msy make 1 or 2 changes. Id rather lose this than draw as we won't win away anyway. We'll prob lose 2 or 3-1 tho....
I would much rather win this and lose against bayern. The competition is wide open as most of the teams we struggle against are out. In wenger speak we stand about 5% chance of going through against bayern.
Evening boys and girls,
Liverpool fan back again and was wondering if I could pick your brains again for our forum.
No point asking the same questions, but want to get a general feel for how you guys see the game coming up (pessimistic bunch aren't ya?!).
1) What were your thoughts about the game at Anfield?
2) Where do you think you got it wrong and where did LFC get it right?
3) Do you think Wenger will alter his approach in light of the last couple of results?
4) Any expected changes in the lineup?
5) What priority do you put on this game vs PL and CL?
6) What's your prediction?
Any help appreciated guys!!
Go ahead GP, you have my support this time.
My belief is the manager will rest players, so we can remain 'fresh' for the Bayern game midweek - a game which by the time it has ended, we'll have long pissed away our best shot of silverware this season, the FA Cup, and will be left facing the daunting task of having to go to the Allianz, required to win by 3-4 clear goals to advance to the next round of the CL.
1-2.

1. I was pretty gutted, nothing else to add really.Quote:

3. No I don't expect a huge change of approach, but I suppose this game being so soon after the hammering on Saturday means we may give a better account of ourselves.
4. Fabianski will probably go in goal. Flamini returns from suspension and there's a possibility of Gnabry starting. Maybe Vermaelen as well.
5. Well for me I place this very high because I think we're unlikely to win the league and have very little chance of getting past Bayern.
6. 1-1.
1-1.
And pub a morale-boosting win in the replay.
:ilt: Embarrassing. Haven't seen us ripped apart like that for a longQuote:

In the PL I hope we finish strongly, we won't win it but if we don't collapse, get a decent number of points and get more points than last year I'll be content enough.Quote:
