He hasn't played a competitive game since last May though!

I'm going to be honest here and would be happy with a draw. Arsenal have looked really good in preseason and we've been a bit hit and miss. I think Torres is injured so will be interesting to see who will lead the line. Plus a lot of our players have only just returned from world cup duty/holidays.

I actually think we can just scrape a win maybe 2-1. I wouldn't be to upset with a draw though.

looking forward to the game, is it on sky sports?

Yea

yeh no doubt , torres on bench maybe but doubt it

What we need if Nando can´t play is at least a 4-4-2 formation. We don´t have enough power upfront (N´gog or Kuyt) without him to fix Arsenal with 4-2-3-1.

As Arsenal more or less always play 4-3-3, it shouldn't be a problem to survive midfield with only 4 players. We should be one + in that area anyway.

Extra nerd info: Arsenal did in fact play 4-5-1 for a few games last season when Wallcott, Bendtner and van Persie were all injured at the same time. They didn´t have players enough in the squad to start up with 4-3-3, so they went for 4-5-1, which didn´t work at all for them.

it difficult to predict, cos i dont know how we will play with the new coach:)

Im waiting to see how we turn up under the new boss, i always want LFC to win, but right now i cant predict, cos i dont knoww
who is going to start, what positions they will play, will aqulani be fighting fit? Joe Cole?

I am excited:)

I think its a tough game to start with, but for those saying Arsenal have a good pre-season I don't agree. I watched them against AC Milan (who had only been training for a week) and I thought they were poor - especially in midfield (granted Fabregas will be back)

No idea what team will start, but what do you think of Masch playing? He's still our player for now so I would play him.

A win would be fantastic, a draw OK, but I truly hope we don't lose to Arsenal, because we have soom tough fixtures coming up.

Yes Masch could play and should play as he is our player, but then again, the chap could be an absolute pr*ck out on the pitch and not even try. If Masch is destined for an exit I say leave him on the bench and get our new lads, young lads and new look out on the pitch.

As for Arsenal - Not sure if you all seen this on F365

As for the international - what a pain in the arse this fixture is. It always has been. I mean, after a summer tournament that just ended and now they want them back before the season starts. As much as I hate to see the internationals being played so soon after the WC and so close to the new season, I don't mind if the teams play close to their home country. Look at Spain play out in Mexico, what a f*cking joke. If Torres was travelling with that team we'd be up in arms.

Anyway - Looking forward to getting back to the city of Liverpool - the city of Angels on Saturday, and get back in to Anfield on Sunday for the start of the season.

Come on Roy, Come on the Lads, Come on the Pool!!!
