Match Day Thread Liverbird Reds v Cockeral Whites

Back to winning ways for the Birds after a blip, and now to a top 4 6 pointer against the Cock's.

The Cocks are 1 of only 3 teams to beat the Birds in the league this year after a 4-1 earlier in the season. Having gone 2-0 down early on, the birds managed to claw their way back into the game but a 3rd goal before HT really killed it. It was a day to forget for many, but especially Lovren who looked like a headless chicken until he was subbed off.

That defeat in October was the Birds first defeat to the cocks in the last 10 meetings, so very much the anomaly and you have to go back to 2011 for the last time they won at Anfield.

For those of a squeamish disposition, look away now, because you think our bench now is bad, have a look at it in 2011!

Gulacsi, Kyrgiakos, Ronbinson, Cole, Poulson, Shelvey, N'gog (Oh and Spearing was in the starting line up).

Historically the cocks haven't liked playing with the birds, losing 80 of the 169 meetings between the 2.

The current table has the birds perched above the cocks with the gap currently being 5 points (although subject to change depending how the mancs get on tomorrow). A win for either would be a very strong hint at who may be claiming that all important top 4 place at the top of the bird table.

Game is on Sunday @ 4:30pm.

Van Dijk winner?

 

Benched for the formidable partnership of Lovtip

 

FFS.

 

if head to head is anything to go by plus the standard liverpool players raising their game for a big match and it being at anfield, i'm expecting something like 3-0.

Also nothing would give me more joy to than to read the spurs board in meltdown

 

You really need to get out more mate

 

Its great work reading material

 

To be fair, our board hasn't exactly been a buzz of positivity over the last week and a bit

 

Ibwt absolutely winging it with the bird references.
I for one am not emused

 

I agree. It's nothing to crow about.

 

We must win this, top four is going beyond Arsenal now.

 

our average would be 2.5-2 v top teams.

in other words 3 goals needed by lfc.

on average we ship 2 goals against anyone in hop half.

both teams to score.
more than 2.5 goals.
salah and kane to score.
throw in a can booking

 

Sunday afternoon on Sky with a few beers, looking forward to it.

 

this game will define our next 3 months.

if we **** this we all know what's coming.

we win and it's game on to build false hope for next season

we.draw and it's a grinder.

 

Just hope he doesn't end up with egg on his face

 

Voted for cock our match last night was another false dawn,seen it too many times.

 

No need to hawk on about it

 

Ibwt always votes for the cock as well

#cantbeatthemjointhem

 

Ive seen many a dawn chorus but you can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs. This game will determine if we end up with said egg on our faces or if we fly into the top 4.
