After Liverpool's poor performance last Saturday against Sunderland I heard a bloke saying that the Reds missed Peter Crouch. What??? NOOOOO!!! Liverpool missed Lucas and Mascherano and Babel (who are serving their countries in the Olympic Games). But thanks to El Niño Torres the team managed to get the win. Time to wake up because this season won't be easy. Good for them Ryan Babel and Lucas will return and are available for next match.
The Boro also need to improve a lot. Yes, they did get a great result against the Spurs but the goal came late in the second half and the team might have to use the same strategy for the match against Liverpool but it's a kamikaze attempt. Besides that the fans want to see goals from Brazilian striker Afonso Alves (unless Mido comes off the bench and save the Boro again).
GOBSMACK PREDICTION: Liverpool with Lucas and Babel will get this one: 2-1
