Quick Liverpool Preview: My hopes for the next two league games
1 comment October 28th, 2007
Liverpool away, Manchester United at home. It’s a sequence of fixtures that is potentially terrifying. Unless, that is, you’ve won your last twelve games.
That’s not to say I expect our boys to roll through the two North-West teams without any hint of trouble. Indeed, today I think the pace of Fernando Torres and the height of Peter Crouch could give us more defensive problems than any of our opponents thus far this season.  Hopefully though, Emmanuel Adebayor and Theo Walcott can give Carragher and Hyppia their fair share of trouble and outscore Liverpool.
For Walcott, a boyhood Liverpool fan, it could be a massive game. However, in my opinion it’s far from guaranteed that he’ll start: it’s quite possible Aleksandr Hleb could partner Adebayor with Rosicky and Eboue on the flanks.
A draw would be a decent result. Four points from the two games against Liverpool and United would be outstanding for such a young side, and keep our lead reasonably intact.
We’re very capable of victory, though to expect triumph would be unreasonable. It should be an exciting day.
One hour to kickoff. Come on Arsenal.
