Edinspur, I don't think it will be as one sided as last time.
But I think where you can potentially exploit is is between the lines, between Gerrard and defence.
But that high line really will play into our hands so who knows - A game we need to win if we want this title.
Daglish's I think you are underestimating how poor our defence has been under Sherwood. We are no better at the back than the likes of Cardiff, I just pray to god that we have a midfield of Sandro/Bentaleb/Siggs who limit your possession massively.
Please bring your high line to Anfield!
Everywhere you go
I'm sick of the stick Sherwood gets. He's now got more points this season in fewer games than avb
================
You and me both. Under AVB we saw excuses for failings, under Sherwood we seem to find (on here) excuses for the good things.
I know its well known i didnt like AVB but Tim (the novice) gets the best out of players we didnt see before.
I just think Tim deserves a shot at this job with the players he wants and the players he thinks he can get the best out of.
I know Bentaleb splits opinions but this guy was a total unknown before Tim took charge and he's now controlling games in the league and against decent European opposition, he's now the superstar in his native Algeria, and is already being valued at £10m.
Of course there are still negatives, like the time it takes us to get going sometimes, and the ongoing defensive problems, but Tim actually gives me confidence.
Chicken, how come you have been missing since pre-Chelsea mate?
Hi Edin,
I've probably been a bit elusive since around the Norwich game towards the end of February. To cut a long story short, it's been hard to get on JA during work hours lately, plus I suffered a family bereavement that hit me for 6 to be honest & just couldn't be a-rsed with it.
But life (& JA) goes on
No worries pal, just wondering. Sorry to hear that though.
I was off from post-cardiff for a good 2 weeks as well.

What does llori offer this site apart from the input of a five year old?
I think parking the bus is a very bad idea vs Liverpool. We need to hit them were they are weakest and IMO that is in the midfield. Sure the likes of Gerrard/Henderson are doing wonders playing defense splitting balls to their attacking players, however I have seen them overrun time and time again. Swansea, Southampton, Hull, Fulham doing it to name a few. If we play a 3 man midfield at top form harassing the opposition then we may have a chance.
Realistically though, it will be 5-1 Liverpool.

Correct, pressure us, forcing the midfield back and we have issues. However with the way we've been playing lately it could open you up to another pounding.
Also correct about Ilori. First class tool who had a personality bypass when he went from his old account to this one.
