Coutinho for Lambert and I would agree. Possibly Lucas instead of Can also

I wouldn't be unhappy to see that take the field.

Lallana Henderson Coutinho

[xerxes]

I suspect Manquillo, Toure and Lucas will start- if they can manage two games in five days.

[Section_31]

Watching Lambert against Chelsea in a Liverpool shirt would make baby Jesus cry, as backward steps symbology goes that's the football equivalent of burning books.

Markovic Sterling 

 

Throw as much pace up front as possible so when we get a break we don't end up passing it back to the keeper. Keep Balotelli, Lovren and Gerrard out of the lineup by any means possible.

Gerrard, Coutinho & Markovic coming off the bench.

Maybe get Can in to midfield for Lucas.

Tony has signed up to a forum where he can draw lots of full stops.

 

Tony knows.

cant imagine gerrard being left out

No room for him in Tony's XI.

[Major Tom]

Play two strikers or none. One isn't an option with the strikers we have.

 

I liked Can last night. Play him.

[Tourt]

Can and 10 others.

 

He played really well in Madrid. Strong in the tackle, rarely misplaced a pass and, in that match at least, had more of an impact than his compatriot Kroos.

 

 Can has improved in each game he’s played.  His physical presence and sound technique is just what we need against the Chav midfield.

 

 I would love to see how he does against Matic.

Mignolet

Manquillo, Skrtel, Toure, Moreno

Lucas

Allen, Henderson

I like this, but would put Can in for Allen.  Can though needs to lose a few pounds.  And both Lucas and Can should be doing extra running and lots of sprints.  Well, and overtime practicing shooting.  

 

Yes, that does not sound so good, but they both know how to kick the other team, which is a positive for DMs.

   all the stick that bren has had about playing a weakened team last night is crap.. if that starting 11 had play against the geordies and hull , we would be 5 points better off. 1-0 to the best team in europe/world is not BAD.. 2 weeks ago our so called best team got tonked 3-0 at home... say no more...

+1, hits the right notes for me.

I left Can out purely based on experience, i think for chelsea you need the nous and experience to deal with their nous and their Shithousery...although on reflection Can is probably better equipped than Allen to handle that Shithousery.
