Remember folks, if it's on Twitter....

Vlaar strikes me as the consummate family man. The last place I expect he'd be is out on the lash on a Friday night.

Carling are doing the sky sports pass again.My lad can have the 10 cans of piss.

I hope there's a bit of proportion if we lose. It won't mean we're doomed, just that we're not title contenders.

[bertlambshank]

I just want a performance.

Doogan was tweeting pics yesterday of the lads at the Forest of Arden after golf. That may have been from earlier in the week though perhaps ?

1-1. Weimann for us.

It will really depend on how we lose. Little point burying our heads if we're absolutely crap. Hopefully we'll get in their faces, let them know they're in a battle and try to play ourselves. Anything more will be a bonus.

Oh dear, Baker's in...

Nzogbia out Cleverley in.

Cleverley in, no Sanchez

[Matt Collins]

Baker in for vlaar

Chance of winning declines by about 80%. Can't see it

Liverpool with a threatening front line today. But no Sturridge or sterling is encouraging.  Lallana, markovic and to a lesser extent continuo are a threat behind balotelli

I'm just not sure baker is good enough to cope with the movement we'll face today

Richardson wide right in a 433?
