The Countdown

Yeah....I'm not talking about the Year of the Frogs here. That's another matter....maybe for Syed Nadzri to predict...again?
For the record, it is Liverpool against Manchester United at Anfield on Sept 13th. Saturday the 13th....

In corresponding fixture last season, we lost 0-1 after dominating much part of the game...only to be floored by a sucker punch delivered by that ugly man, Carlos Tevez. I wonder if he's not a footballer, he certainly has the look to act in one of those B-grade horror movies, move over Freddie, Carlos is here to take over your mantle....nuff of that.

Heard that SG won't be playing...what no SG? no Torres? against MU?
How's that for an epic encounter?

Sure a bleak one, isn't it? Guess with the enforced absence of the duo, a draw would be something. Play 4-5-1, pack the midfield and play Keano upfront on his own. Riera on the left, and for God sake Rafa, go and buy a proper right winger. Kuyt, as industrious as he is, just doesn't cut it as a right sided midfielder. Never liked him though. He's that arkward, clumsy type.

Defensively, we are OK. Skrtel and Carra had been rock solid thus far...wish these 2 could score more in a set piece ala Terry and Ferdinand. Hey... Skrtel did score for his country the other day...lucky maybe? Old Sammi certainly scored more...gee how I wish he's younger.

I'm not optimistic about our chances this weekend...but who knows? As they say ' BOLA TU BULAT'...
