Couldn't care less who we send out to play as long as Lucas plays, that's all I care about.

Though Reina won't play, so regardless of who Reading play, we WILL conceed.

Time for another one of those "half arsed lineups that's neither very strong nor experimental, so we play really, really ***** and everyone laughs when we lose" nights. Happens almost every time - Burnley in the FA Cup a few years back, Crystal Palace in the League Cup the other year, Arsenal in the League Cup last year...

If he doesn't I will be seriously ****ed off with Benitez for the first time ever.

Both Aurélio and Lucas set to start? mon Liverpool :thup:

retired_jennifer89889

Aurelio probably will, or should atleast come on quite early in the 2nd half. his recovery is going well but hasn't played much - only 45 minutes in the reserves and then a few minutes vs Porto.

Armydog

Itandje

Arbeloa
Carragher
Hobbs
Aurelio

Benayoun
Sissoko
Lucas
Babel

Crouch
Torres

Crouch to score. Lucas to play **** just to annoy Moreclaw.

I dunno, really not arsed about this. Might not even go to the pub to watch it. meh.

Lucas to be immense and prompt Benitez to make him captain :cool:

Right, well the beeb thought otherwise.

Doubt he'll feature at all mind you.

Reports today was saying Reading leaving out a fair few that started on Saturday. Lita starting apparently and Fae, de la Cruz, etc not the biggest of squads at the best of times. I think Coppell would rather be sat at home. Liverpool to win 3-1

retired_toad72

Unless Rafa doesn't go with 4-4-2 or Babel starts (which I doubt as he's started the last two games) Torres will probably partner Crouch up front.

I too would like to see him play now he's in the squad just because I enjoy watching him and I'd like to see him bag a couple of goals. Can always take him off after an hour or so.

Player I'm most looking forward to seeing is Chocolate Charlie, mon him.

If Gerrard isnt gonna get on the pitch or they dont really have an intention what is the point of travelling. This is the thing with rotation. How much rest are benched 'stars' getting here ? Trained like normal, involved in specific preparation for the game and sitting on the bench. Let some of them stay home and totally relax. I am sure Torres and Gerrard being on the bench doesnt exactly make them feel rested. Not mentally resting anyway, still thinking they may come on for half hour or so
