[Archived] Blackburn Rovers v Liverpool QF Replay - 8th April 2015

[Mattyblue]

Don't know PB, there are a vast amounts of plastic Lpool and Utd fans around these parts (as there is everywhere, I suppose).

Always find them as quite sad individuals wth self-esteem issues, ergo 'supporting' a big club for reflected glory.

[all you need is duff]

The Anfield game was the most I've enjoyed a game since the Emirates in 2013. This game is the must nervous/excited I've been since the Milwall replay. After predicting a hammering in the game at Anfield, I have spent the last month trying to curb my optimism. Come on you Blues!

Completely agree.

I can never accept not supporting your home town club. At least I do go do Chorley on occasions.

[Madon]

Absolutely buzzing for tonight.

LT is predicting this team:- Steele; Henley, Baptiste, Kilgallon, Olsson; Conway, Williamson, Cairney, Evans, Marshall; Rhodes.

Can't stick folk like that, I remember seeing some dolloper in a Liverpool shirt giving me stick once after driving back from a home game with the Scousers. What a goon.

I think people like that are the main reason I do find it funny seeing Liverpool 'suffer' and I can't stand them as a club.

If GB is bluffing about King then Wheelock could be in on it. Either that or he's been fooled too. The LT predicted team is what I predicted yesterday aside from Rhodes for Gestede.

Supporting Liverpool and Man Utd is the easy option. Both likely to win things and both with a national/international fan base. I don't know if the stats back it up but both citeh and Everton claim to have the larger local fan base whilst being the smaller clubs in terms of support nationally compared to their respective city rivals.

As for the game not expecting anything but I'm really looking forward to it. I just hope we give a good account of ourselves and then who knows...

[chris_h]

I reckon that the Scousers and Manyoo are much like the Old Firm. Two cheeks of the same @rse.

[chaddyrovers]

I think Gestede and King will be on the bench tonight. Due to not being fully fit.

Agree with the forwards in this side.I don't think Liverpool will be able to handle King or Gestede. Defensively they look very fragile. Would love for King and Gestede to start against the ludicrous scouse back three. King would have a field day down the channels and on Gestedes knock downs.

If King and Gestede are out however we are toast. Got everything crossed for them.

[matt83]

Also while it does bug me seeing lpool and Man Utd shirts in town when not playing them for some reason it irritates me even more when I see Chelsea and arsenal shirts. Lpool/manure round here may all be glory seekers but there is a small possibility being North west clubs they do go to games but id bet my house on the characters in bburn wearing chelski and arsenal shirts have never been to a London based game.

I had that once, after the famous "divot" incident, I managed to squeeze out of the Albion Road car-park in front of a Scouser and he was all upset about it and went on and on about how they beat us until our paths parted!

Won't Liverpool play Lovren before Johnson?

[G Somerset Rover]

Won't Liverpool play Lovren before Johnson?

Been reading that they may switch to 4 at the back tonight. Seems like Moreno has had an absolute mare for them in recent weeks on the left, so Johnson is likely to come in there. You could definitely see him getting a red against King if King were fit...

King this king that ... Remember he's had one good game and now he's the 2nd coming .

**Got a feeling Bowyer is bluffing Liverpool and will play King.

Completely agree about this. The choice of williamson instead of evans could be controversial but with the experience he has and his hard tackling style of play, i think he will break down their attacks well. Also agree about Gestede behind King. With that formation and starting xi, I reckon we will win 2-1

[LewisF]

Don't know if this has been mentioned before but I think Spurr as LB and Olsson playing as LM/LW could work, like Bowyer played it partially in the 2nd half against Brighton.

King this king that ... Remember he's had one good game and now he's the 2nd coming .

Thats a fair opinion, true to say without his pace we probably wouldnt have beat Swansea never mind Stoke

[JonnyBRFC]

Is King not out with a hamstring injury? We really do have a lot of players missing and I think that will tell in this game.

We need the pace to relieve the defence and still give Liverpool something to think about at the back.

Set pieces could be our best chance tonight.

[ABBEY]

and without his "usual" lack of end product we probably would have won a lot more games .

Bowyer bluffin, king fit

Thing is with King though, he just terrorizes the defenders with his pace, and wears them out, and often gets them sent off, which we'll need in order to progess I think.

[Husky]

@#/? me, the day has finally arrived.

The Stoke game almost seems like it was last season.

King this king that ... Remember he's had one good game and now he's the 2nd coming .

It's mainly because the rest of our team are so slow and laboured. He appears to be the only one that can run faster than David Dunn.

If we had a few more pacey players I doubt anyone would really notice that much if Josh disappeared over the Darwen/Bolton moors.
