Well well well. Very contrasting fortunes at the moment for our two clubs. With almost everything going against us (from injuries to...well, beachballs!) United enter as favourites to win. With Anfield being too tense and possibly no Gerrard, Torres or Johnson (I'm thinking Nando and GJ at least will be back- although I'm not certain) and Aquilani a bit far out for starting, its hard to see where any performance is going to come from. The back four seem well out of sorts, and everybody knows that we're a two man team, so the goals won't be flowing.
But write us off at your peril. It's backs-to-the-wall time and its time to protect Rafa's job, so if this game can't get the players up for it then they shouldn't be playing for us. This game is potentially massive for us.
And, lest we forget, the return of a particular rat...
