EPL Matchday 8

[Nallad]

Looks like Skrtel has found out a way of stopping Costa:

Wound him up hugely in the Euro qualifier and Costa started losing his s**t. Apparently worded up by Suarez on what to say

Getting under Costas skin seems to be the best way to deal with him. Seems to lose focus when opponents get in his face as it is usually him who is in their faces. Will be interesting to see if any other EPL defenders get under his skin now.

I don't think Skrtel is the first person to try and get under his skin. Good luck to him with it.

Don't know why more defenders haven't done it in the EPL.

 

[Loonerty]

I think in club games, Mourinho and Terry do a good job at keeping him controlled

 

[Cooldude]

People have tried to wind him up this season, haven't worked quite a few times coz he just scored goals

 

[Magma]

only time he's been taken out of a game is by vinny and mangala. sticking to him, swapping defenders and out muscling him.

maybe skrtel can do what he does best and just hang onto him all game.

Let's not divulge personal information, Johnno.

Who's Johnno?? Haha

They've been trying since he's been here. He's a lot calmer in blue.

Plus he keeps scoring so there's no need to get angry.

Yep, almost pulled off a cracking goal in that game too.

 

[Magma]

i wouldnt say he's been calmer, he'll still get into it with players. he didn't go down swinging at atletico.

 

[typeclub]

I think Liverpool fans should be angry at how well Skrtel played for Slovakia

Don't know about that. Bar the one goal he scored, he didn't have much of an impact against big Wes Morgan.

 

[DardySingh360]

Pelebeck
A. Sanchez - Cazorla - Walcott
Flamini- Ramsey
Gibbs-Mertesacker-Monreal-Bellerin
Szczesny

 

[Latro]

Wat

 

[DardySingh360]

Wat

That is my prediction for tomorrow's lineup.

 

[Latro]

Walcott and Ramsey are not match fit. Why would Wilshere and Ox not play?

 

[Magma]

a gol is still in the game

 

[Jatz]

Fair enough. The expectation was he'd kill us and Morgan wasn't at fault for the goal but I do understand what you're saying.

 

[DardySingh360]

Walcott and Ramsey are not match fit. Why would Wilshere and Ox not play?

Ah forgot about Ramsey's injury.

Would be good to see Walcott start although it has been a very long time since he last played, getting a bit ahead of myself I suppose.

 

[chef]

Apparently Costa, Schurrle, Drogba, Ramires and Mikel are all in doubt for tonights game.

 

[Loonerty]

Could very quickly become a danger game if we're forced to have Oscar and Willian play significant minutes after their trip to Asia.

 

[glenferry23]

No way Walcott starts. That would be ridiculous.

Sanchez and Ox to occupy the flanks hopefully. Wilshere central and Cazorla at number 10.

 

[Nallad]

Apparently Costa, Schurrle, Drogba, Ramires and Mikel are all in doubt for tonights game.

In doubt every game

 

[kreglze]

Walcott and Serge Gnabry played in the under 21's overnight. Walcott won't be playing firsts.

 

[Jatz]

The glass man is out for another month for Liverpool. Can't believe you'd rely on someone that injury prone.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Really hoping Terry can nab another winner like last time. Was a great finish
