KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Rooney to miss Liverpool match

Hi guys, so it seems Rooney will mis the big game thi weekend. How much of a handicap do you think this is for United and who do you think will play in his place? Do you think it significantly increases our chance to get some pound at OT?

One thing to consider - because Ferguson is an idiot, he could be lying here to have people on. Who knows.

If he does miss the game - don't think it will make too much difference to United imo. van Persie can do a job on his own and Hernandez is on good form at the moment, so he will be a tricky one to watch.

I think it all depends who they play in midfield. If they play one of the old men they have, then we should be able to dominate the ball there hopefully. Who knows though...

Must help our cause as Rooney is one of the best players in the country, so if he misses it then our chances should increase, means the match will now be played with no players coming from Liverpool or Manchester in the teams so the match may not be played at such a frenetic pace which could suit our slower tempo...

played at a snails pace I'd imagine

You're unbelievable at times.

Won't make a jot of difference, they have world class cover. We would be better off if they were missing a CM or a defender.

With Evans playing, they may as well be missing a CB.

Gerard is from livepool

Steven Gerrard was born in Whiston - This a large village and civil parish within the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley on Merseyside, England. Whiston is located within the Liverpool Urban Area.

According to Wiki, don't know the Liverpool area very well - Is this accurate Stanley?

It really depends on council boundaries r culture. Whiston culturally s more St. Helens but Gerard was brought up in Hutton which again s Knowsley but people there are as scouse as they come. Depends how you view it all those areas are merseyside
