Young Boys at home, match thread

[fowler9]

not really sure what sort of team I'd go for in this one, we've tended to play a stronger team at home in this competition although I've said it before that I wouldn't even consider playing Suarez and it has proved very useful for giving some lesser used players a run out this season and has even seen a couple make a breakthrough to the first team

Go with a strong side, get the win and hope that we dont need anything from the Udinese trip.

I'd like to see us progress in this Competition and take it seriously after the abject surrender in the League Cup.

 

Reina

Wisdom Carra/Coates Agger Johnson

Gerrard Sahin Shelvey

Sterling/Suso Suarez Assaidi (if fit)

[John McClane]

Can't believe you put Cole in your starting 11.

I didn't think anyone except his ma wanted to see that again.

 

Give Reina a game again, he is only just back and if we are serious about this we need to be stable at the back. Carragher was a rock at the bridge, he deserves his place with Coates next to him.

 

Hope to see Shelvey against these again.

[LFC64]

Difficult one to call when the squad is as thin as ours. Suppose he'll start strong and hope to be in a position to take a few off 2nd half.

Personally I'd be happy to see us 'use the squad' for this and keep the seniors on the bench.

Wonder if Downing will be in reckoning at all?

I just like to delude myself he is going to become good again even though I vowed to stop doing that after the Swansea game in which he put in one of the worst performances I've ever seen

 

plus he might as well do something for all that money

[fowler9]

been a bit of talk about him joining Boro before tommorrows loan deadline, also read somewhere he was sent home from training early on friday

I'd go for a similar line up, except I'd rather start Pacheco over Cole, and put Ibe in for Pacheco's place on the bench.

 

I'd put Yesil in instead of Morgan, who performed admirably against Anzhi, just to spread the game time. Both seem hungry and are willing runners, although Morgan is a lefty, and they're a bit kek to play against...

Sorry wrong thread!

[John McClane]

well, that is 1 way to stop a thread in its tracks.

[beejay]

We will know the result of the other game before we kick off. If Udinese don't win in Russia then all we need to qualify is a win against Young Boys.

 

I would play a strong, attacking side and all being well we can put the kids on the flight to Italy.

 

Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Henderson, Allen, Gerrard, Assaidi, Suarez, Sterling

[Guest LFD]

Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Henderson, Allen, Gerrard, Assaidi, Suarez, Sterling

 

I think we have to be careful with Sterling and protect him.

 

We have 4 games in 11 days. Before that Sterling played three games last week for club and country.

 

I'd like to see Sterling rested more than anyone else.

 

He is 17, is playing a lot of football and let's protect him and not burn him out.

You are way way off , not even Suarez on the bench ? , this is a must win game not no meek surrender.

 

We will field a strong team like we did against Anzhi at home.

Hes 17 and as fit as a fiddle , hes played a handful of games for us , he could most likely play a game a day , hes fine.

I'd rather see us protect him.

 

Save him for the league.

[ZonkoVille77]

Defo need to play a strong side and get the result we need tomorrow. Hopefully Suarez and Gerrard are not needed but I've a feeling they'll have some part to play.

[Guest LFD]

Rodgers said today it will be a strong team and Gerrard will be involved.

[Bjornebye]

Need a win. So downing and cole wont play. Any other from 23 for me.

We will field a strong team like we did against Anzhi at home.

 

like I said in the post I wouldn't even consider playing Suarez at all in this competition, not until we have more first team strikers at least

[Jonjo Baldy]

Young boys :drool:

 

Last time we banged in the goals in every hole, but the young liverpool lads left their pants down too.

[Anubis]

I think we'll win this reasonably comfortably as long as we set about the task the way we set about Wigan last weekend.

[Faustus]

I think we'll see a strong team. Get the win that'll see us qualify (providing Udinese don't beat Anzhi, of course), and then give the lads a breather in Italy.

I'd start with something like that with GJ, Gerrard, Suarez, Sterling, Allen and Agger on the bench.

 

we have enough cover all over the pitch to rest most of the first team. flanagan could come in at right back for wisdom but we basically have suarez as centre forward and no one else - unless we use morgan or Yesil (why isn't he playing for the u 21s?)

 

shelvey might start as centre forward if suarez is rested. he came on for suarez there on saturday.

Sahin Henderson Shelvey

Suso Suarez Assaidi

 

Resting Suarez for a home game we need to win is not an option in my opinion. Would like to see a strong bench as well. Being able to know the result of the other game before we play is a great advantage as well. Hopefully Anzhi can help us get through and put us in the position to decide it for ourselves before the last game.

Joe Cole starts

 

 

Most off the seniors are left out.

 

Fella who never gets it wrong on twitter

 

 

Joe Fucking Cole..Why? He is as good as gone anyway that's Adjoran fella might never make it but he deserves a spot before the Joe Cole.

This better not be true, and given Rodgers said it'll be strong team I doubt it is
