Some guy on Facebook reckons he was at Melwood today and they set up as follows: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Sakho, Ibe, Henderson, Allen, Moreno, Sterling, Sturridge, Balotelli

Nice lineup if true, best to try win the game in the first leg and then we play it tight out there.

I'm actually really looking forward to this, nothing like European football regardless of the prestige of this particular tournament. What's more I don't get the negativity towards a competition that could secure us CL football for next season. Some people are somehow of the belief that it's going to be easier to secure CL football by getting 4th but in reality we'd only have to win a maximum of 5 games to secure it through the Europa allowing us to draw or even lose marginally in the return legs.

Hoping to see the Studge and Mario partnership in action from the start tonight, go at them from the off and try to grab a couple of early goals.

They've only played 94 minutes together so far, but we've scored 5 goals in that time so you never know!

  • And what a delighted scorer – it's Tommy Smith!
It would not upset me to see Ballotelli benched again. He did well at Palace but that's no reason to alter the formation.
He'll get two tonight, just to spite me. I'll be back at 9.50 to get me coat.

Slaven Bilić, Croat, coach of Beşiktaş, shows great respect for Liverpool FC and famous Anfield Atmosphere. He was Liverpool fan in his childhood (he wrote that in his autobiography), few days after his sign for Bitters (They sign him from W.Ham) Liverpool was called him but he already gave the word to them, great man and next PL manager for sure (Maybe W.Ham),  show him some respect tonight! We must keep our form, result is important, easy 3-0 for us ;)

People are severely underestimating Beşiktaş. They are a much better team than us, I don't understand why people think they aren't. We have virtually no European experience in this team, including our manager. I fear for us, I really do. Watching the Champions League again this week underlined to me once again how far we are off from being a solid European team let alone a force. Let's hope we can somehow fluke our way to the final but I don't see it. We need to take these games seriously though, that's for sure because Europa is more important than an FA cup final that happened to be on Gerrard's birthday.

I bet you're scared of crossing the road, fucking hell.

I thought I was a negative person, cheer up a bit

Load of Beşiktaş fans trying to jump on the 19 bus to town from near Everton without paying and then abusing the driver when he told them to get off. Kicking and punching the windows from the outside after. Admittedly some polite ones apologising to passengers as there was a baby in a pram at the front. Hope we smash these pricks now.

Looking at the earlier pictures in this thread, you sure they weren't just trying to give the bus a service?

Joe Cole returns to the starting XI for tonight's Europa League clash in Turkey - listen live from 6.25pm BST.

The midfielder is one of five changes to the side that lost at Manchester City with Christian Poulsen, Fabio Aurelio, Sotirios Kyrgiakos and Martin Kelly all involved.

The Liverpool team in full: Reina, Johnson, Kelly, Kyrgiakos, Carragher, Aurelio, Lucas, Poulsen, Kuyt, Cole, Ngog. Subs: Gulacsi, Pacheco, Babel, Spearing, Shelvey, Skrtel, Eccleston.

Five defenders, two defensive midfielders; Smokey Joe and Dirk Kuyt as the more creative players.......no wonder I can't remember much from that period, except the overwhelming feeling of apathy.

Thankfully, times have changed.  :thumbup

Have you watched us at all since mid-December Lazar?
We got knocked out of the Champions League and are only seventh in the league because to be honest we were shite in the early stages of the season. Since the change in fortune and the bedding in of some of our new players anyone who's watched us can surely see we're now an entirely different proposition. Beşiktaş look a decent team, but we're better and we'll show it tonight. Time for some of our fans to grow some balls and stop worrying about a side that hasn't lost over 90 minutes for two months.
