Should be easy pickings for Liverpool.

Pompey are a struggling at the moment

[hellas_08]

3-2 pompey

gekas to score a double
basinas to score penalty

[Bomber]

Only thing is, Liverpool seem to struggle aginst these teams of late. Hope not another draw! Without Steve G, injured, can see at best a 1-0 win with a Torres strike near the end.

[cleveland]

liverpoo should and will win comftably as tony adams is slowly destroying portsmouth and are my dark horse for relegation.

[chelsea91]

I think Liverpool will win 1-0.. Gerrard is missing but now Torres has hit some form so he will get them over the line

LoL! and we are playing against Peter Crouch who has a point to prove against us.. i dont like the look of that stat one little bit!!!

[gerrard<3]

My bet would definitely be on Liverpool.
I'd say we'll win 2-0.

[Torres of SA]

my bets 2-1, Crouch for pompey, Kuyt and Torres for liverpool.

[totsreds08]

what the fuck is with the line up.

reina
agger, skrtel, cara
arbeloa, masch, aurelio, dossena
yossi, babel
n'gog

[Torres of SA]

just saw the team sheet for liverpool, wondering what rafa was smoking when he put it out......i mean first problem, dossena on the pitch. rofl. "liverpools reserves" according to the commentators. torres on bench...

[totsreds08]

aren't playing too bad. however. riera, torres and alonso can easily be put into this line up

[totsreds08]

TORRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS <3 what a bloody game. we deserved to win and we got it. thank fuck. benitez doesn't understand the impact that alonso has on the team. mascherano motm imo

what the shiraz is with the line up.

reina
agger, skrtel, cara
arbeloa, masch, aurelio, dossena
yossi, babel

yeah bit of a change up, but have come off of a mid week extra time cup round.
torres was tired and is off for spain in a friendly, rip the hammy gain and it's all over.
ngog - dossena

[totsreds08]

to be honest dossena didnt do too bad but he isn't liverpool material. it was a very wierd line up with 6 defenders starting but it wasn't too bad. torres better not do his hammy again otherwise we are fucked. eh i'm happy

[The Waterboy]

Didn't watch the game but does anyone know if Gekas or Basinas started or played well?

[totsreds08]

basinas played a full match and he looked ok. had a decent free kick but reina saved. gekas didn't come on. being fair most of the time the portsmouth midfield got the ball, they gave it away so didn't get to see much

[The Waterboy]

He didn't play Gekas
WHAT A WANKER. wow who did he play up front?

[totsreds08]

He didn't play Gekas
WHAT A WANKER. wow who did he play up front?

nuggent and crouch who link up well and assisted each other to score the first goal

[hellas_08]

basinas best player for portsmouth . end of story
cant beleive gekas didnt play.

well i guess some people cant see the great quality greek players have.

[Torres of SA]

ye masch played well but we now know who the most inspirational player on liverpools team is. DIRK KUYT haha.
i thought aurelio played a gem of a game aswell, dossena didnt look completely retarded.

[totsreds08]

basinas best player for portsmouth . end of story
cant beleive gekas didnt play.

well i guess some people cant see the great quality greek players have.

he has been in england for a matter of days and for all you know, he could flop in the epl

[coutinho10]

babel
use your left foot son..

[chelsea91]

If it isnt Gerrard it is Torres.. Anyway Id rather Liverpool win the title than Man Utd so well in pool

[totsreds08]

babel
use your left foot son..

can't believe he missed. would of been good for his confidence. in saying that i thought he did well. aurelio also played well in cm

[Judge Judy]

babel is a banana

[coutinho10]

for someone in yossi who was getting frustrated with lack of game time is starting to rack up
some consistent games and continues to run at defence and open them up for the forwards.

[totsreds08]

yossi deserves a start

[Judge Judy]

yossi deserves a start

he got one
