I've just seen the "probable" team on the Times website and I'm really, really disappointed-
LIVERPOOL (possible; 4-4-1-1): J Dudek — A Xavier, S Henchoz, S Hyypia, J Carragher — D Murphy, S Gerrard, D Hamann, J A Riise — V Smicer — E Heskey.
The defence and midfield are as I would've expected, but the inclusion of Vladi over Jari is not good, in my opinion. We need a player who can play telling balls in an around the box and also knows where the goal is. Vladi has patently failed to do either of those things in recent games. He's conceded possession and generally been the weakest link. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he should be sold/shot/castrated or anything. I just think that Jari is the obvious choice for that role and Vladi is not in form. Also we will have to attack more than we have away in Europe before. This means we will be playing on the break less, so Vladi's pace will be less important. Then I think Jari has to play.
But whoever gets the shirt, I hope they do the stuff.
