Sunderland is ah rankin shit side.

Sunderland was unlucky to lose to Liverpool back on opening day. Liverpool was also lucky to beat Boro back then and look Boro turn around and poison them.
Hopefully Sunderland will turn aroiund and do the same.

Sunderland is ah rankin shit side.
I may be late on dis but yuh Stern "tribute" below hame rollin here, pure talent on dis site :rotfl:
-
KJ only trained Friday, he came off with the knock and tbh played like he had a knock. Sbragia is quite cute at suggesting 451 then turning up with 442 but I think it might be 451 tonight with Cisse up front and he may keep KJ for the Spurs game on Saturday. Don't think it has anything to do with the internationals.
I think it will be same old same old and don't expect anything from the game, Liverpool has already raised the white flag on the Prem so its a shame the game wasn't on Saturday as it would be an even more weakened side with an eye on the Champions League the following Tuesday.
Its live on Sky so should be more links than you can shake a stick at, KO 8.00 pm GMT.

Premier League Preview: Liverpool - Sunderland
Teams
Liverpool
Sunderland
Kick-off: Tuesday, March 3, 2009 (20:00 GMT). Anfield, Liverpool.
Down And Out
After they beat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in Champions League action last Wednesday, few were expecting an excellent display from Liverpool when they travelled to Middlesbrough at the weekend. Their record of European hangovers is legendary, but even the Mersey men's most jaded critics could not have envisaged what occurred at the Riverside.
The Reds put on perhaps their most disjointed and disappointing show of the season as they sank to a 2-0 defeat against Gareth Southgate's relegation battlers, a result that could see them fall ten points behind Premier League frontrunners Manchester United - who were busy winning the League Cup on Sunday - once the Devils make up their game in hand.
Thus, after leading the pack at the turn of the year, Rafael Benitez's crew have all but bowed out of the title race, and pressure is mounting on the manager ahead of Tuesday's fixture with Sunderland. But the Spaniard has sought to divert attention from his contract situation and train the focus instead on the task at hand.
"My concern now is the game against Sunderland," he said. "We have to prepare for this game properly."
Anything but victory will see Liverpool, who now sit third, fall irrevocably out of title contention. They will have to kick their habit of drawing at Anfield - which has plagued them against smaller sides in particular - to keep their very, very slender hopes alive.
Safety First
Meanwhile, as their upcoming opponents wallow in the wake of their Boro bruising, the Black Cats will aim to extend their unbeaten run in the league to five games and edge closer still to their ultimate goal: a safe, mid-table finish.
The Wearside club currently sit 12th, five points above the drop zone, although they have played a games less than the bottom trio of Middlesbrough, Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion. A win in the North West could boost them into the top ten, pending results elsewhere.
Sunderland's record against the 'Big Four' this season reads fairly well, all things considered. They were trounced by Luiz Felipe Scoari's Chelsea but conceded just three goals in total in their 'first leg' meetings with Arsenal (1-1), Manchester United (0-1) and Liverpool (0-1), who needed a late Fernando Torres strike to claim the points on the opening day of the season.
And now, after seeing his men hold the Gunners to a goalless draw at the Emirates on their last league outing, manager Ricky Sbragia is confident of at least taking home a share of the spoils when they tackle the five-time European champions - even though the Mackems haven't beaten them since 2002.
The Scot said, "We want to take at least a point on Tuesday night and if we do, that will be another setback for Liverpool." And that would be an added bonus for a man who enjoyed a successful spell coaching at Old Trafford.

TEAM NEWS
Liverpool
A mixed bag on the injury front. Steven Gerrard has recovered from a knock picked up against Boro and is expected to start, but Fernando Torres remains on the sidelines with an ankle problem. Alvaro Arbeloa (hamstring) will join his fellow Spaniard in the dugout, alongside Danish defender Daniel Agger (back).
There should be some changes from the lucky dip line-up that featured at the weekend, with wing duo Ryan Babel and Nabil El Zhar likely to make way for Yossi Benayoun and Albert Riera. Martin Skrtel won't be playing at right-back again in the foreseeable future, and own-goal scorer Xabi Alonso might be rested after his tired display against the Teessiders.
Liverpool squad: Reina, Carragher, Skrtel, Hyypia, Dossena, Aurelio, Babel, Benayoun, Gerrard, Mascherano, Alonso, Kuyt, Lucas, Ngog, El Zhar, Riera, Darby, Cavalieri.
Sunderland
Djibril Cisse has shaken off an ankle problem and should start against his former club. He may well be partnered by Kenwyne Jones, who has recovered from a knee problem. Steed Malbranque and Teemu Tainio sustained minor injuries against Arsenal, but both are in the squad and could feature.
Phil Bardsley is available after serving a suspension, but Nyron Nosworthy is still out of action after further aggravating his dud hamstring.
Sunderland: Fulop, Gordon, Bardsley, McCartney, Ferdinand, Collins, McShane, Davenport, Ben Haim, Whitehead, Malbranque, Leadbitter, Tainio, Richardson, Edwards, Yorke, Reid, Cisse, Jones, Murphy, Healy.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Liverpool
With 'El Nino' in the treatment room once more, Steven Gerrard must yet again shoulder the burden of keeping his side's domestic hopes alive. The Scouse hero is yet to regain full fitness after a layoff of his own, but even a hobbling Stevie G possesses a match-winning that none of his team-mates do - Torres perhaps notwithstanding.
Sunderland
He is widely regarded as one of Gerard Houllier's many French flops after netting 11 goals in 49 league appearances at Liverpool, but Djibril Cisse has reminded everyone this season why the Kop made him their record signing in 2004. The speedy striker has 10 goals this term and will be determined to prove Benitez wrong for offloading him.
PREDICTION
It's a must-win game for Liverpool at home in the league, against technically inferior opposition - therefore, they cannot claim victory. Simple as that.
Liverpool 1-1 Sunderland

-
from Soccernet:
Riera skins Ben-Haim down the left, his cross finds Gerrard, who heads for goal badly - unsurprisingly given how small his forehead is - but the ball falls to Ngog, and he scuffs it over the line.

As expected playing like that is engrained in the players and the staff and needs a big change.
Nice backpass by Kenwyne though :devil:
-
Any Score? ??? doh bodder I find out :devil:
-
Jones had a rough game his first touch has been lacking lately and he has a hard time taking on defenders one on one and running off the ball into the right space... he played just like he did in the last Trinidad game..but it is hard being the only striker up front.

Just checkin out the replay- fatman look like he regained all the weight after keane fire the wok.

We should have gone ahead through Kenwyne [Jones] in the first few minutes but we were still pleased at half-time.
We frustrated Liverpool in the first half, the system was good, and at half-time there was belief that we might be able to steal something.
We said at the break - don't concede early in the second half, but that's just what we did, it became really difficult for us after that.
We tried to change the system; we went 4-4-2 and then soon after we conceded a second, which effectively killed the game off.
Kenwyne should have scored and he'll be disappointed with it.
He's made it himself and he's in there. If it had gone in we would have had something to hold on to - and you tend to work harder when you're in that position and be more disciplined.
We fell asleep from a left-wing cross, [Steven] Gerrard has done Kieran [Richardson] and he's made the goal. And then we conceded the second goal too soon after that.
You have to be ruthless when you come to Liverpool and we had the chance in the first half.
Marton [Fulop] has made a mistake and he won't want to watch it again, but he has been super for us in recent weeks.
It was disappointing to concede twice in the second half but it's gone now and we move on. We have a big, big game at home to Tottenham on Saturday.
Thanks for your support,
Ricky Sbragia
