Seedorf has been incredible in this game. Still got it after so long at the top.

Said that in the weekend thread, he was brilliant in that game. His touches at times were outstanding especially in that goal.

Liverpool team to play Valencia:
-------------Reina
Johnson--Carra-Agger--Aurelio
-------Spearing--Adam
-Henderson-Aquilani-Downing
------------Carroll

Lucas is back on the bench but still no Meireles; seems to be taking a long time to recover from a bruised foot :/

Bar Lucas for Spearing and Suarez for Henderson that's the team I'd like to see against Sunderland with Downing and Suarez alternating.

All ready aquaman has had some very good touches, Be nice if Aurelio manages full 90 too. Good delivery by Downing there but no one there Carroll wasn't there in time =/

Pienaar really was a waste of money...

Mark1989 · 6 Aug 2011 at 17:39

Goal, Carroll! Oh how we look very different in these 5mins compared to the other friendlies, Johnson deaded all ready Christ sake! Kelly coming on so better off really then

CliffyBiro · 6 Aug 2011 at 17:44

Massive cheer for Modric, coming on for Pienaar.

Heated game so far. Carroll booked for a very late tackle then squared up to by the Valencia player who tried to 'tap' heads with him

Hmm. Only seen 15mins of the Spurs game but Spurs didn't look very comfortable. What was the goal like - was it deserved?

Mark1989 · 6 Aug 2011 at 18:05

Valencia player booked now for a late challenge on Carroll i reckon they dont like him now...

Pigeon_Killer · 6 Aug 2011 at 18:06

Carroll kicked in the knee as payback. Be very lucky to not pick up an injury today.

It all started when the Valencia defender went in 2 footed on Carroll, which somehow went totally unnoticed.

Quite looking forward to our match vs Benfica, I haven't seen Gervinho play yet so that will be interesting.

Corner in, headed away by Pav, sidefooted as it came down inside the box. Not much could be done to avoid it other than getting more distance into the clearance.

Mark1989 · 6 Aug 2011 at 18:18

Heated half been okay other wise, Our defence has been much improved but still neither keeper really tested.

CliffyBiro · 6 Aug 2011 at 18:24

Crouch makes it 1-1 from a Bale cross.

Both only been on 5 minutes.

BaZ87 · 6 Aug 2011 at 18:26

I've been really impressed with the way Aurelio and Downing have linked up down our left. If only Aurelio could stay fit, we wouldn't need a LB.

CliffyBiro · 6 Aug 2011 at 18:27

Defoe 2-1

Mark1989 · 6 Aug 2011 at 18:35

Woot Lucas coming on least he has chance for a run out.

Mexican wave at WHL
