Liverpool v Lyon (20/10/09)

[funkster]

I'd go with:

 

-------------Reina

 

Johnson--Carra--Agger--Aurelio

 

benayoun--Lucas--Mascherano--Riera

 

----------Gerrard

 

-----------Kuyt

 

3-1 win

 

 

Riera is out injured i think

[keysaint]

is it true that johnson isn't fit?

[dave u]

I've heard there's a major doubt surrounding him. Don't know if he's defo out though.

[PaulMcC]

I read Johnson is out too.

[stringvest]

Rafa will say "Do you want to be Kings of Lyon"

 

Hermes, your socks are on fire

Jamie's gonna love that :)

Wooohooo!

 

Carra at right back!

 

Or Degen!

 

Or Kelly!

 

Or Masch!

 

:wallbutt:

[mrw74]

We really need a strong and positive team performance tonight so that the players start believing in themselves again.

[PaulMcC]

I'd play Carra at right back.

 

Not sure i'd risk throwing Kelly in in a match as big as this. Though Rafa did play Spearing on Saturday.

 

On teh otehr hand i think Kelly looks good going forward and think we need someone going forward from there tonight.

I would settle for a scrappy win with the goal going in off someone's arse.

[Sandman]

I think it's more likely to be Degen at right back. He's been subbed in twice this season, and has looked decent.

So you're betting on Kuyt to be the scorer? I think we'll win. Gerrard to score at least one.

[WaltonRed]

Not confident one bit.

 

I'd rather throw Kelly or Darby in than play Degen or move JC to RB.

[dave u]

Degen isn't in the CL squad. If Johnson doesn't make it, it will be Carra at right back.

[Superjari]

I think it's more likely to be Degen at right back. He's been subbed in twice this season, and has looked decent.

 

Is Degen even in the CL squad? Dont think so

I was in Paris last week, and spoke to a few people I'd met who seemed to be big football fans. They really rate Lyon and fancied their chances against us. Apparently there's one guy, whose name I've forgotten, not Lopez, who's very Xabi like.

 

I'm hoping we win obviously, but Lyon should be good to watch.

[Sandman]

Degen isn't in the CL squad. If Johnson doesn't make it, it will be Carra at right back.

 

Aah. didn't know that.

[old skool tom]

carra could get embarrassed at full back and destroy his confidence even more.pace is something all full backs need so i'd play kelly or deggen seeing as though weve got to win and be attacking from the start.

Pjanic or Toulalan?

[Brownie]

Fucking hell, that's a blow if Johnson doesn't play. What's wrong with him?

[Sandman]

Pjanic or Toulalan?

 

Thank you, it was Pjanic.

[Unrighteous]

Do you think that Aurelio or Insua could manage to hold the fort as a Right back?

[Woo]

I'd play Kelly if Johnson isn't fit. He should get plenty of help from Dirk, and it would be a good test up against Michel Bastos, who looks a good player from the little I've seen of him.

[Brownie]

Do you think that Aurelio or Insua could manage to hold the fort as a Right back?

 

Definitely not, IMO. They are far too left footed to do a job there, for me. It'll be Carra but i'd love to see Kelly given a chance.

[coop]

Johnson will be alright.

 

Wouldn't surprise me to see N'Gog upfront from the start tonight.
