Match Preview BPL 3: Liverpool vs Arsenal

Liverpool FC vs Arsenal FC

at Anfield Stadium

2 - Sep - 12 13.30 ( GMT +1 )

Liverpool will come with their strongest Lineup. they will be motivated to win their first match in BPL after their convincing draw against Man City in their previous BPL game. passion and believe is what drive Liverpool to win, it's just a matter of time that Brendan Rodgers strategy would be fully understand and implemented by the player.

In the goal line, Liverpool would play with their best option: Pepe Reina.

for the Wingback position, Jose Enrique are expected to be back from injury and partner with Glen Johnson.
in the Center Back, Daniel Agger would be back from suspension and will be partner with Martin Skrtel

Joe Allen who has been outstanding, would play as the Defensive Midfield to replace the injured Lucas.
Nuri Sahin and Steven Gerrard would be partner in the Central Midfield.
and Lastly, Luis Suarez, Fabio Borini, and Raheem Sterling would play in the attacking forward to break through Arsenal Defense.


This is the strongest Liverpool lineup possible, they will start fast and try to get the first goal by dominating possession from the very start of the game. concentration is the key here, Liverpool wouldn't want to repeat their sloppy mistake against City.




Another Highlight in this match is how Nuri Sahin would fulfill the expectation, he would determine to prove his worth to the team and would play with his best, for those who still doesn't know his style of play, it would be better for you to imagine Alonso. Yes, Xabi Alonso, his style of play is similar to this Anfield Legend. it would also be emotional for Sahin as Arsenal is also attracted to sign him before he choose Liverpool. he would prove to everyone that he made the right choice and help Liverpool to get their first win.
For Alternative, Liverpool still has Coates in the defense; Jonjo Shelvey and Jordan Henderson in midfield; and also Oussama Assaidi who has yet make a debut for the Reds.

Arsenal will depend on Vito Mannone in the Goal line as their number one goalkeeper, Szczesny is still injured. Actually, Mannone has done a great job to hold Stoke City at their previous match in Britannia Stadium, but in Anfield, he would have a bigger test to hold Suarez, Gerrard, and Borini to score. in the backline, they will deploy their strongest defender of Jenkinson, Metersacker, Vermalen, and Gibbs. while in midfield: Diaby, Arteta, and Santi are their best option to attack, though they still have Ramsey and Rosicky in the bench. For Attacking option, they would play with Gervinho, Podolski, and Giroud; and athough they failed to score a goal against Stoke and Sunderland, they already had a good understanding among themselves, the poor finishing is the thing that let them down. Lastly, not forget to mention Arsenal still have Ox Chamberlain and Theo Walcott to came on as a super sub.

Liverpool 1 - 1 Hearts Europa League 2012/13 Match Report

Europa League 2012/13

Liverpool  1 - 1 Hearts

 

at Anfield Stadium

30 - Aug - 12 20.05 ( GMT +1 )

A late solo-effort from Luis Suarez sealed Liverpool's place in the group stages of the Europa League after they beat Hearts 2-1 on aggregate.

The Reds drew 1-1 at Anfield on Thursday night despite controlling play for large spells of the game and carving a multitude of opportunities to put the tie beyond their visitors.

Match Rating Liverpool vs Hearts

Liverpool play with their usual 4-3-3 formation. the surprise inclusion of Adam Morgan as Right Forward and Stewart Downing as Left Back prove to be quite success. they both do their part quite well. Unlucky for Morgan to have his first Liverpool Goal disallowed. Meanwhile, Carragher and Henderson back to starting lineup and did a decent job.

Liverpool doesn't play convincing, they almost lost when Templeton scores due to Pepe Reina mistake, but a few minutes later Luis Suarez again safe the day for Liverpool.

He scores a goal from a tight angle and difficult situation to make sure Liverpool through to the next round.

Player Ratings:

Reina - 5.5 - a Big Mistake from the reliable GK, actually he done a decent job from the back to help the defender keep the possession.

Kelly - 6.0 - a good enough performance from the Right back. unfortunately his cross is such a waste from the right flank; he often confused where to pass.

Skrtel - 6.5 - had a good game, great tackle and positioning from the defender

Carragher - 6.5 - had a good game, good vision, always provide options to pass

Downing - 7.0 - done superbly as a Leftback, his crossing was magnificent.

Allen - 7.5 - BOSS the tackle, he has done a great job to fill Lucas position

Gerrard - 7.5 - had a decent game, make a few error from his pass but his game maker skill is still brilliant

Shelvey - 8.0 - MOTM, control the midfield superbly, he would have a good future if he keep up his playing at this level

Henderson - 7.0 - his through pass was a Killer. he has done a good job.

Morgan - 6.0 - unfortunate not to score, but he had a quite decent game.

Suarez - 7.0 - Score the Winning goal, he actually doesn't play in his top level, miss a few chances.

Subs:

Sterling -6.5- Lively since he came on, always provide option from the right. 

Borini - 6.0 - Anonymous since he came in. doesnt have a single chance but quite good to provide option and pass.

Liverpool FC v Hearts: Match Preview Europa League 12/13

Match Preview - Europa League

Liverpool vs Hearts

Next match, Liverpool must pass a final challenge before advancing to the group stage, in the Europa League.

Against Hearts from Scotland Premier League, which is the second consecutive year a team of Scots will face a team from England. This is an opportunity for Liverpool to bounce back after a bad result in past weeks.

For the European League this season, is less clear whether Liverpool concentrating on more important championship or premier league. Looking at the composition of our squad, it is interesting that the most likely Brendan Rodgers will rotate and try some young players, and we will see more young players are often involved in the Brendan first team. Of course, with more young players involved need to realize that the chances of winning this trophy will be smaller opportunities.

Although not the Champions League, like it or not, we are still competing in the European leagues, and of course we will have a chance to create a moment that will be memorable. Even through first stage, however, Liverpool are not likely to be the underdogs, and will be targeted to be removed. Therefore pass vs Hearts, is very important for further progress.

After 2-2 draw against Man City, Liverpool fans and player are wanted to win this match to gain momentum towards the other premier league matches, Against City, Liverpool dominated and should have won the match, but their hope was buried by their own sloppy mistake. they sure want to repeat the performance against Hearts and want to win this match.

Like when your opponent Gomel, there would be little risk if we underestimate them, especially with the absence of Liverpool's famous inconsistencies when against a weaker team. Moreover, the Hearts, which is in position 2nd Scotland Premier Lague , often creating a goal in the last minutes.

Already leading 1-0 in aggregate thanks to the own goal of hearts defender, Andy Webster. Liverpool is more likely to win this match comfortably, especially because they will play in Anfield. Brendan promise to involve more young player in this match to give them experience as well as give some rest to some first team player to be ready ahead for Arsenal match on Sunday. 

5 goals already-created by Hearts, john sutton with 2 goals, andrew heart, novikovas, templeten each 1 goal. With Andy Webster and Zaliukas in the center back, leading the most appearances last season to 40 games. Zaliukas possibility can not play, because he was injured. Their main goalkeeper Mcdonald also likely absent, and will be replaced by Peter Enckelman

For Hearts, they are expected to at least to steal a goal before trying to win the match. with the same formation and line up. they had successfully frustrate Liverpool in the 1st leg of the match. they create more chance and so unlucky to not grab get a goal there. i am sure Hearts are hoping to replicate those performance in Anfield and try to win this.

As for Liverpool:

Reina

Kelly - Coates - Agger - Robinson

Adam Henderson

Shelvey

Downing Carroll Sterling

There's possibility of a lot of changes from last appearance vs Man City, where Gerrard, Suarez, Johnson, Skrtel, will not included, Enrique still injured and Assaidi got cup-tied, making Rodgers will play some young players. He said even earlier to give kids more include to the team, so it is not surprising that there will be many surprises in the formation vs Hearts.

But I think Liverpool would combine some of their 1st team player with some youngster. Shelvey, Henderson, and Adam are expected to fill the midfield, while Carrol would be implemented as lone striker up front along with Downing and Sterling on the side. Sterling is the man to watch here, after impressive performance against City, he sure wanted to repeat the performance and hopefully he could be in the score sheet against Hearts. Some youngster like Flannagan, Pacheco, and Morgan are expected to be on the bench and come up in the 2nd half.

At the back four formation, I eager to see  Agger duet with Coates, with Agger capacity as a leader in the back, also i hope the experience of Sebastian Coates will increase and continued to show his talent as a ball playing central defender. On the right side will most likely remain in the content by Kelly, and when Jack Robinson was full fit, then he should be played from the beginning, Robinson with his talent reminiscent of Emiliano Insua. 

At midfielder, Hope to viewing duet Shelvey - henderson, but it was difficult to determine the third players. Lucas did not seem ready, due to injury, Allen has played more than 180 minutes in last 4 days in a week. although expect Shelvey - henderson - allen in the center, but it could be possible that Adam in pairs to assist Shelvey - henderson.

In the forward position, to keep in mind, the possibility of Suarez and will Borrini at rest (or there may be on the bench), and the option to forward us very little. so that Carroll will likely be the first choice, accompanied by the Sterling on the left and one realistic option Downing on the right side.

Here I really hope, even with  young players, Liverpool could play with better performance, and with a similar score against Gomel. Hearts clearly better than Gomel, and it would be a serious threat to liverpool. But with our squad, it should not be a problem and see his final appearance with a quick pass and move, perhaps hearts should be passed with ease. So let's hope that much progress in the game played by our team.

YNWA !!
