Re: Your team and formation vs Liverpool
You'd like to think that given they have no CB's available and are playing two midfielders at the back, we'd have a real go at them. It'll be the same lineup as Saturday, playing 4-4-2 and we'll give them far too much respect like we do with City and sit back. We have little creativity in the side,...

Re: January Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome
One £25 million quality signing who is good enough to start with the first team immediately might just be the difference between survival and relegation.
