I agree. I think that the game needs an early Liverpool goal as it changes the tie completely and means they have to score. I'd expect a start like Juve 05, Real last year, Sunderland last week etc. Ye know the ones that Rafa's teams have in their locker but unfortunately we dont see enough of. (Not a dig, I'd hope that is something we all agree on).

This is what I'd go with. I suggested it for the Mancs game as I thought Valencia would give Insua some trouble. They are at their most dangerous on the flanks and we'd have pace out there. At home most of us would want Aquilani playing anyway.

Is the correct answer. And Rooney injured. How bad he is will shape the rst of their season. He should probably have seen redc for his kick out anyway. Clearly deliberate.

I'd go with Reina Carra Skrtel Agger Johnson Maxi Aquilani Masch Babel Torres Gerrard Cavalieri to cover Reina Kelly to cover both full back spots if Aurelio is unfit and centre back (Carra back in) Lucas to cover centre midfield Benayoun to cover Gerrard and both wide positions Kuyt to cover Torres At a bit of a push play Kyrgiakos (especially v opposition that suits him) Ngog Pacheco Don't play unless necessary: Insua Riera Degen Derby El Zhar etc....

A bit off the wall but given that Valencia is flying for them lately and Insua let's his man cross the ball too often, how about: Reina Masch Carra Agger Johnson Lucas Maxi Gerrard Aquilani Babel Torres Subs: Cavalieri Insua Kyrgiakos Yossi Kuyt Ngog Pacheco
