Sorry for moving onto this one so quickly but i'm already thinking about it whilst still enjoying last night. Sorry to Alex Woo also but I couldn't wait for him to come back from Eindhoven to start this. Just thinking about what Rafa was saying about Keane and how no one is guaranteed a place in the team. I know what he means but I don't think it's true. Take this game against Hull on Saturday. You would more or less guarantee that Reina will play in goal, Arbeloa right back Carragher in the centre with either Hyypia or Agger depending on how pacy Hull are up front, Insua or Dossena at left back depending on who Rafa wants to play there, I think Benayoun could start on the right as he played no part last night and he has played pretty well the last 2 games and scored a very goal, Gerrard and Alonso are certs with either Riera or Babel on the left, Riera came off early last night which might suggest he will start on saturday. Kuyt should be a cert to start also having been rested altogether in midweek and you'd assume that Keane would be up there with him in the continued absence of Torres. This leaves Mascherano out of the equation altogether but you would assume Rafa would play 442 at home in this one with Gerrard and Alonso offereing more of an attacking/creative option. What does this all mean apart from it's hard to know what rafa thinks? Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Gerrard, Alonso, Kuyt and probably Bemayoun are certs to play in this one with the rest of the spots up for grabs
