KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Observation from today's game

Ooh, I love the idea of a strong midfield partnership of Gerrard and Raul.

They would be absolutely terrific!

he needs to play gerrard in his best position which in my opinion is bang in the middle and told to have a free role. look what he does for england when he plays there! Raul looks awrsome and if we can get them 2 playing together it will be perfect. joe cole behind nando and for me, babel on the left. the boy needs games and he is the closest we have to a winger at the moment and he can score goals. I am still not convinced about jovan yet!

I think jova will come good. I like his attitude and I saw some promising things from him at the weekend. And he has come out and said that his not yet Liverpool standard, I like that it shows he knows what is expected at this club. His only had a few PL games so he is still adjusting but he is improving and I think he will benefit from playing next to Raul and Gerrard and having cole on the pitch as cole will drift left.

I think Jova works harder than many think... in fact, after kuyt, I think he's the next most hardworking.

And from what I see, I think he will come good. There are some players whom with one look you know he just won't make it. Jova's not one of them. He's got potential and with adjustment and hard work, I think he'll make it. Gotta give him time.

Think we have to go for it at Greyskull, go for the win. If we play two holding midfielders Torres will get battered by manures back 4, it will be back 4 coz we aint got any width to occupy the full backs. If Lucas and Poulsen play it will be sideways passes till Gerrard gets on the ball(impatiently) and looks to hit Nando immediately who will be double marked with at least one full back on the cover.

Straw poll: a) 0-0 draw following an inept performance
b) play cagey like at City and lose
c) play cagey and nick a point
d) play gagey and fluke a 1-0
e) go for it put in a positive attacking performance and lose

I'm for e) ahead of the all the others, I wanna see some belief from the players, belief that they can go and outplay the mancs and win
