I think he should sit on the bench because he's been shit for 90% of the games he's played this season.
Allen is fit. Allen coincided with the most assured performance this team - and this midfield - has produced all season. He has to play. Sturridge and Suarez have to play for the Everton factor, and Sterling's been undroppable. Not to mention that during the Everton game it was usually the threat, run or sheer pressure of Sterling that enabled Suarez and Sturridge to go and do what they did.
Shame we have to go another big game with Kolo. I love him but he's fucking barmy.

Inclined to agree, and push Henderson further up, have him basically piss Arsenal's midfielders off by sprinting around like a mentalist
Coutinho;s West Brom performance was worrying, in his other games its ofte just been the passing that's slightly off-target, overhit or not quite making it through the eye of the needle. Against West Brom though he was trying passes that were clearly never there to be made, even passing it straight to West Brom players stood right in front of him. Unless you can make your opponent Disapparate, that's just bad play, and a breakdown of the basics.
Looool Feorax pls.
We need the SAS on form tomorrow for any result.
Drop Coutinho and replace with Allen B-Rod!

You will get to see him be Zlatan in Champions League soon enough too baby. Was never given a chance for that shit team, then sold back by Solskjær for cheap cause he's bro's with Solbakken.

Says all there is really about the Danish League. After we played Nordsjaelland earlier this season Arshavin called them the weakest team he's ever faced except possibly when we played a club from Andorra 10+ years ago.
He's no Zlatan if he couldn't make it at Cardiff
Google Now seems to think I'm an Everton fan. Gosh, I'm so embarrassed.
Really not feeling good about tomorrow. Think Arsenal will win 2-0. We've played fairly dreadfully against the two brummie teams and I fear fatigue may be setting in. I expect our midfield to be overrun, and for Kolo to poop himself under pressure - I'll think he'll be targeted. Sturridge and Suarez need to be in beast mode to get anything out of this.

Zlatan couldn't make it in premier league either. He even went there and wore your shirt, then got scared and went to some shit league instead.
Says alot about the Premier League really.
You know me, I love to highlight a weak footballing nation.
Regarding tomorrow's team selection and tomorrow's match it's not the be all and end all. Unlike West Brom I won't be crushed if we lose; Arsenal are the best team in the league at the moment and their defence is unbelievable. Saying that, if there's ever a team to defy that it's Liverpool at Anfield. Suarez and Sturridge don't really do statistics, they just aren't all that in to them.
and we've got sweet brendan making us all happy again

I'd like to see Arshavin play against Midtyland and say that. Nielsen would break him in half.

He's a chubby shithead who's going to bottle it with his team. Stop wikipedia'ing midtjylland.
Sviatchenko, the son of the great Sergei Sviatchenko, got some talent though
Jupp Heynckes interview, I translated some parts of it:
(Ter Stegen lives next to his house. He is a very confident and mature goalkeeper and he would sign him right away (in question if Barcelona should sign him). Neuer is the best, but ter Stegen is a great person, very humble and has an extraordinary personality/character. He will need support from the coach.)
Are Bayern the best team in the world right now?
I don't see a better team anywhere else. Although if Messi gets in form again, that could change. By the way, what opinion do you guys have about Thiago? I know his father very well, Mazinho, a great player. Thiago has a very good head, he's a great footballer but he always wanted to prove how good he is. Now in Bayern he has it easier: in Barcelona he always was the 'second' of Xavi or Iniesta.
Pep is a very smart man, he knew “I have to pick the best team in the world” No Chelsea, nor Manchester City. He only had to learn german
(He thinks the FIFA best coach award should be for the whole technical team and not just the coach.)
Did you had a chance to be Barcelona’s coach at some point in your career?
Yes, it was one year before I joined Real Madrid. Cruyff ended his term in 96. I had a contract from 95 until 97 with Tenerife. At the end of the 95/96 season, some people from Barcelona came to Tenerife to offer me a contract for two seasons. I had one more year with my team [Tenerife] so I said no, I wasn’t going to break my contract. “Do you know we are Barcelona?”, they answered. One year later I went to Real Madrid. But yes, I would have liked to be Barcelona’s coach.
Did Barcelona called you, after Tito stepped down?
No.
What if they had called you?
Mi wife would have showed me the red card! There’s a life after football!
How much football do you watch now?
That depends on my wife, my dog, my friends, food… sometimes I’m tired and I just fell sleep in front of the TV at night. I’m a Barcelona fan, since many years ago, from the time when Johan Cruyff came to Barcelona as a player. [He talks about Cruyff from his early days until he won the League and Cup in Feyenoord as a 36 years old, he looked like a general on the pitch, telling all the players what to do. Extraordinary]
I watch football depending on who is playing. I watch football that I like: Barcelona, Real Madrid, “Turin” [Juventus] because Arturo Vidal, one of my players, plays there. I don’t have much interest in english football, I don’t know why… maybe they some times play good football like Manchester United, in previous years… now not [note: LOOOOOOL].
The secret of football.
Teams like Sacchi’s Milan, van Gaal’s Ajax, Cruyff’s Barcelona, Pep and Tito’s Barcelona had mutual respect between the players, both as professionals and as human beings. That marks the difference because they play as a team, because they understand each other perfectly, because most of them have been playing together for many years. This is the secret, players have to understand each other inside and outside of the pitch. We had this last year at Bayern, there was an amazing atmosphere in the team.
What do you think of Tata Martino?
I don’t know him well. I only knew him by name, I don’t know how he works or what philosophy he has. But when Barcelona signs you, you must be a great coach.
And what about Mourinho?
He has two faces: one inside and one outside [of the pitch?]. I get along very well with him, he has always been very respectful with me. We get along very well.

Won a trophy more recently than England.
Nobody in England really cares about England because we have actual football.
I quoted them both, and was going to say something too
but then I realised my post was permaban material

Spartak are playing Midtyland in a couple of days. Midtyland has to beat those scrubs first before dreaming of challenging Arshavin and the boys.
Cissokho is fairly decent in defence, pretty clumsy sure, but fine when compared to when he's on the ball (amazingly atrocious).
As for Gerrard, I don't think Arsenal's pressing will be a huge problem, but in the first half (roughly) he will charge forward like a mad hoor. Then he'll be tired out in the second half and forced to sit back. Maybe you can press the crap out of him.
Edit: I'm giving Cissokho too much credit. His positioning is dreadful and he will get caught up the field.

It's not a valid argument considering Liverpool's best player, Suarez, came from the holy Eredivisie lol.
edit
where he was just as dominant, in case someone didn't get it.

Ungainly is the best word for Cissokho. Even people who were shit at PE could control their own legs. Its like he has to think about planting his foot solidly and running in a straight line
Non mainstay has to be Philipp Degen. Oh dear.

Hafnarfordur, Midtjylland, Copenhagen, Helsingborg. Lol, Spartak sparing no expense lining up all these giants of Nordic football.
Braafheid was like an amateur playing for FC Bayern.
