Not wanting to wish ill on the lad, but a simple straightforward broken metarsal might be helpful on thursday.

Can we give a Gomel player some cash to stamp on his foot?

How can you hope for Spearing to play? I always hope he doesn't

[greg9r]

just because i don't want to rush lucas, if he get's injured again...
don't like that case

so who else do you want there?
gerrard in a deep role like this -> no go!

[Discipline]

Reina
Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique
Henderson
Gerrard Shelvey
Suarez ----------- Borini
Carroll

 

[The G in Gerrard]

Be glad to see some more football. Should beat them comfortably at home, is it too much to expect the likes of Pacheco to be involved?

[GBF]

will Andy and Agger to be out for imaginary injuries for that game?

[Crosby Wych]

will Andy and Agger to be out for imaginary injuries for that game?

Unless Agger is signing for a Europa League team he won't get cup tied afaik.

[GBF]

(to keep him free from injury)

[kelly34]

I'll be hoping for

Jones
Kelly Skrtel Carra (or Coates) Enrique
Spearing (Lucas on at half time)
Hendo Shelvey
Borini Morgan Sterling

Suarez to come on for Morgan at some point too.

why you don't want agger to play?

[El_Pistolero]

Reina; Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Robinson; Henderson, Gerrard, Shelvey; Borini, Carroll, Downing.

[L666KOP]

will Andy and Agger to be out for imaginary injuries for that game?

With Daniels suseptibility to injury I'm gonna say that if he plays Thursday, he'll stay.
Brendan won't risk an injury to a potential 22m windfall in a game we can easily manage without him.

[El Denzel Pepito]

It'll be this:

Reina

Skrtel - - - Agger

Johnson - - - - Lucas - - - - Enrique

Shelvey - Gerrard

Downing - Borini - Suarez

Subs: Jones, Spearing, Carroll, Sterling, Kelly, Carragher, Adam.

[Z e u s]

It'll be this:

Reina

Skrtel - - - Agger

Johnson - - - - Lucas - - - - Enrique

Shelvey - Gerrard

Downing - Borini - Suarez

I think so as well, as all those players were wearing green bibs in training.

[orn-free-tada]

I'd love to see Suarez play, of course, with him being back only 4 days (by the time of the game) does anyone think he'll feature in this game? I know he's pretty much had his pre-season, but has he had enough time training with the squad?

(I guess Enrique didn't against  Sunderland first game of last season, and he had a great game) hmmmph 

[ianation]

I got 4 tickets for this one... Anfield Road end.  First game for my step daughter and taking my mate and his Grandson.  I hope they get to see plenty of goals!!!

All I know is if it was up to Suarez he would be playing 90 minutes.  We'll see if Brendan agrees with him .

[Not A Scouser]

Gomel will have to come out and try to get the ball up the pitch instead of trying to play on the counter (which they did really well).  If they don't Rodgers will just have us passing the ball around in our half for the whole game, 80+% of the ball.  In the last game the only time we looked like anything was towards the end of the game when they started coming forward.

This and the next game are actually the most important because they get us into the group stage where you can lose a game or two and still get through (and get a little bit of money).

[WraithXx]

just because i don't want to rush lucas, if he get's injured again...
don't like that case

so who else do you want there?
gerrard in a deep role like this -> no go!

with Spearing playing, Gerrard will be in a deep role regardless... particularly playing as a 3rd CB

Shelvey.

[exiledintheusa]

Be good to be playing back at home, I think we will start to see BR's passing philosophy take hold.  It'll be 3 or 4 on the night.

Hope they enjoy it mate!

[Neil D]

Is this technically a qualifier, meaning it won't count towards credit for later fixtures in the comp?

[Tepid water]

You can't be cup tied from this match Neil.

Thanks mate but that's not what I meant, I meant for buying tickets!

[Tepid water]

Thanks mate but that's not what I meant, I meant for buying tickets!

I wondered!

I think you can still go and watch everton after watching this match

[alvaro]

I dont get to see the game live because of the fucking olympics!

[artanis]

Spearing will not play Thursday. We are getting Sahin on a permanent with a buy back included but Real demanding Spearing back on a one year loan. Apparently they don't have any players good at gesticulation. So there.
On a serious note, the green bibs start.

[totalimmortal]

For those in the States, the game will be shown on Fox Soccer Channel at 3 pm

[Pistolero]

which to be fair is as it should be.....

Olympics = fanfookintastic

Nice mate. Hope you all enjoy it.

[GrkStav]

Is Pacheco in the squad for this one?

[DG]

Is Pacheco in the squad for this one?

Don't know, but it's the same squad list as the away game. You can find it in the 1st leg-thread.

[stardorman]

Is Pacheco in the squad for this one?

was just thinking the same thing.. one would asume a none appearance
would indicate a likely exit this summer..

I really hope he starts tomorrow, played against Rochdale
