Lallana was particularly poor and Ramirez needs to play the simple pass more often.

*Could HAVE been worse. Tut.

Well unfortunately we already know its going to be unchanged!

Our players are just going to keep passing the ball to Liverpool players today.

Perhaps to even up the keepers we could take some beachballs to through into the penalty area?

Not sure, and not saying I would start him personally. Just have a hunch.

Well you only named 8 positions. Ramirez certainly wins the 2nd striker/ attacking midfielder battle.

What about the other 3 players?

I think Rodrigez might start.

Bit of magic from Gaston needed here I reckon.

Happen to know that Marian Pahars will be at the game tomorrow for the first time in 6 years. Give him a song!

Thing that annoyed me is that surely they're either penalties or dives? Referee gave neither.

It probably depends who you're playing against tbf. There may be times when teams play a high line and we struggle to get through that someone like Mayuka could come on and make the difference. At the moment though we don't need it. I do feel that we're benefitting from having slightly quicker fullbacks and Yoshida.

I still don't think Lallana is great at the defensive side of the game, he just isn't required to defend as much IMO. His attacking play has been sublime though.

At least now with Shaw, Clyne and to a lesser extent Yoshida we have a defence with a bit of pace.

We might be hitting form but they're on a sustained run of it. This will be much tougher than yesterday for sure. They're quite a similar team to us in terms of work rate and style. We must take our chances and we need Gaston on form again as he is the one player that they have noone anywhere near as good as.

The only way I think- get up the ticket office.

Neither, he's a United fan but obviously from down south as he said the first 3 times he saw them play was at the Dell and we won 6-3, 3-0 and 1-0.

Can't believe he can get away with writing that.

Rather Wigan won it then Reading tbf

Agreed, though it's not over yet...

No one will know any different.

I guess the real question is how do they compare to the other recent 'crops' of U18s?

Isn't it meant to be quite clear and dry tomorrow?

Ben Afa limps off...
