Special Juan 28,210 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 TEAM NEWS from Benitez's PC: No Cahill (virus) and Azpilicueta (leg discomfort) for this game. Everyone else is available barring Romeu who is injured of course.Thanks for that.I will post up some pictures if I get to meet them later today.

bushman 2,043 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 All players should phone in sick tomorrow. One useless game anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Two stats...1. The last time Benitez went to the Riverside Stadium, his Liverpool side suffered a 2-0 defeat to Middlesbrough in 08/09 PL season.2. Rafa Benitez has never beaten Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium in 5 visits - D3 L2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 You forgot to mention that those 2 games were at home and we were then under RDM, who played attacking football. Now under Benitez, he's more concern of not losing first than trying to go out and win games from the start.And that equates to us having to lose against Boro because we have no chance against utd?!

KingB 9 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Time to give Ake an actual chance. He's ready for a championship side with key figures missing. Maybe even let Blackman take goal anything but Turnbull!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DONI. 1,291 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Definitely it's the time for some youngsters here,with these performances i'll be glad with a lose,that's better beacuse we know what we gonna do against United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 And that equates to us having to lose against Boro because we have no chance against utd?! No but it's just that two different approaches bring out two possible different results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 No but it's just that two different approaches bring out two possible different results.I don't think we're favorites to beat utd either, but my original point is that we should not just forfeit the match!

Yes but just saying that with Benitez's negative approach, our chance of winning there is extremely low and sometimes, you just can't help but to wonder, why even bother with it?
