Addicks to get a thrashing?

It was only ten month ago when "Two goals in the final three minutes of the first half helped Charlton beat the champions of Europe on a vintage Valley night." Full report

That's right, we had just beaten Liverpool 2-0 down at The Valley, but can we possibly perform this same feat twice in a year?

Myhre, Young, Spector, Perry, Hreidarsson, Hughes, Kishishev, Smertin, Thomas, M Bent and D Bent were the team on that great night, yet with three of them now gone (Spector, Perry, Smertin), two possible doubts (Kish and JT) and one major disadvantage from the off (M Bent), it appears things are going to not be as "rosey".

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is back (apparently) so I hope he starts, however, "I predict a [riot] rout", especially after the 5-1 drubbing at Spurs, who scored all six!

I'd love to stay positive but I really do think Liverpool are the kind of side our defence is going to have a lot of trouble with (more so then most). Gerrard will be everywhere, and I can't for the life of me see Faye, Holland or Hughes (collectively either) keeping "Stevie G" in check.

"Liverpool have started scoring goals of late and are going through that period when chances fall for them and more often than not they go in.

Charlton are a bit all over place at the moment and have not had a great start under Les Reed.

Looking at the club from the outside they seem to be everyone's favourites to get relegated." says BBC pundit and idiot, Mark Lawrenson. Predicted score 0-3 to Pool.

Liverpool have only won a single away match this season, whilst the Addicks are still unbeaten in all competitions at The Valley since the end of September, so there is a glimmer of hope. The heart says it will be a draw.

Boss Hogg's prediction: Charlton 1-4 Liverpool
