First things first - any idea if this game is on live on some foreign station.

 

Next - the team

 

Reina

 

Arbeloa Carra Skrtel Aurelio

 

.......Mascherano Alonso

 

...............Gerrard.............

Kuyt.............................Babel

 

................Torres..................

 

IMO

1. Stick with the same formation.

2. Give Sami a rest and move Carra in field

3. Let Alonso try and play himself back into form

4. Leave the front 3 alone, no harm in maintaining consistency in our main problem area - 2 vs Inter, 3 vs Boro, 3 vs Bolton, grand. Torres with 3, Gerrard with 2, Kuyt and Babel with 1 each in those games.

[honourablegeorge]

Think you're about right there. Don't like Carra at full back at all.

 

There's a good case for Yossi too, btu there always is.

Swap Kuyt for Benny

I can see Crouch coming in for torres in for either West ham or Newcastle With inter in mind and the fact that Torres looked tired/ poor yesterday

[Rory Fitzgerald]

If ever there was a case to be made for Kuyt playing (and its not very often one is made for him) then these are the games. Let him try and continue rebuilding his confidence, its doing no harm - if Benny is brought (I like him as a player) in, he'll keep moving infield. At least we have some semblence of structure going forward and the players know their roles.

Actually I would agree with you there.

I think it's also about gameplan. He was chasing a lot of s*** yesterday very little decent service, losts of long aimless punts giving no time for the others to join him, everytime we actually played it through midfield rather than punt it at a change of possession, we looked dangerous.

 

The plan may well be get the game won, (we have no room to slip up and recover later in the season), take him off after 70 mins for the next couple of games as yesterday, there will be a lot less useless running to do at home to those two sides.

 

 

Arbeloa in for Sami

I hate the notion of an easy game.... we've made them all difficult lately.

important to get 3 points in this one and put pressure on everton to keep winning

 

wonder if rafa will have an eye to inter for the newcastle game - maybe rest one or two defensive players like masch, hyypia

 

i like our new formation - seems to get the best from gerrard - really capitalises on his shooting ability - puts him in positions where he is dangerous

If only we have Alves at right back, Messi instead of Kuyt and a good attacking left back we will be there!

[The_Adder]

Same formation, same team set-up.

 

Benni in for Kuyt (think he would be better there anyway)

Arbeloa in for Sami (much more attacking fullback and sami gets a rest)

[fred milne]

Reina

Finnan Carragher Skrtel Aurelio

Alonso Gerrard Mascherano

Kuyt Torres Babel

Agree with that. Let's not start talking about resting Torres again for these sorts of games. Give him a breather when the game is won, like yesterday.

 

Babel looked shot towards the end though, his first full 90 mins & I wouldn't be too surprised if Pennant or Benayoun replaced him in the starting line-up.

[honourablegeorge]

Torres doesn't need a rest. He didn't score against Bolton. He clearly needs match practive to regain his sharpness. And when h does score, well, you can't drop him then.

It's not live in the US, delayed 3 Hours, which to be fair I can see, as there are CL Games going on at the same time.

Its live in Scandinavia, Canal+ Sport1.

[Ronnie Whelan]

Babell must start. MOTM yesterday.

[BDB]

Looks like it is on Setanta in the US, but only if you have Directv.. on the Setanta Extra channel 670..

[Cunny]

Torres should not be rested from any Premier League game with Europe in mind.

Qualification for the Champions League via our league position remains our best option.

[smokescreen]

The full 90 minutes is on LFC TV channel... on at 00:15.

 

Time for me to get into avoid the result until midnight mode tonight

[Montse]

If you google asia, plate and tv putting them all together then there is a stream. No idea about quality tho

There's an hour's worth on Sky Sports 1 at 10:30. Slightly less game, but less time to wait!

Yeah, but I go for the hardcore waiting...

[Sion]

Babel seriously has to play. Also don't think Mascherano should be needed to play these types of games.

Yossi Gerrard Alonso Babel

 

Crouch Kuyt (If Torres is out)
