      Tranmere v Liverpool
      12th July 2008 3pm
      Prenton Park
      Pre Season Friendly



      This match is live on Setanta Sports and on various places on the internet.

      Gerrard, Carra and hopefully Agger expected to take part.  Don't expect too many of the Spaniards.

      We won 3-2 against Wrexham in our first game last season so another one of them would do us nicely.

      I reckon Pacheco will get a game as well. Looking forward to getting a good look at how two of our new signings play.

      Cant wait for this, the reds back in action. Eager to see the new signings if they will play and hoping to see pacheco show what he can do as well as some other youngsters.

      I would imagine Agger will be the name most people are looking out for after his lengthy lay off.

      Can't wait to see all the players back, playing. Especially looking forward to seeing Agger and new signings play, if they do.

      AGGER AND PACHECO START AT TRANMERE

      Paul Eaton 12 July 2008 

        Fit-again Daniel Agger is joined by debutante Daniel Pacheco in the starting line-up for this afternoon's first friendly of the season at Tranmere - a match you can watch live here on Liverpoolfc.tv. 
      Agger, who has recovered from the metatarsal problems which ruined his season last year, will be partnered by Jack Hobbs in the heart of the defence with Jamie Carragher likely to begin at left back.
       
      Spanish youngster Pacheco will make his first appearance for the Reds in a forward position where he is likely to be joined by Yossi Benayoun, with Jermaine Pennant, Damien Plessis, Lucas and Emiliano Insua operating in midfield.
       
      New signings Diego Cavalieri and Philipp Degen are joined by skipper Steven Gerrard among the substitutes.
       
      Rafa's first team selection for the new season is as follows:
       
      13 Martin
      2 Darby
      6 Hobbs
      5 Agger
      23 Carragher
      16 Pennant
      7 Plessis
      21 Lucas
      22 Insua
      15 Benayoun
      11 Pacheco
       
      Subs:
       
      1 Cavalieri
      4 Hyypia
      3 Skrtel
      19 Degen
      20 Kelly
      12 Aurelio
      8 Gerrard
      14 Spearing
      10 Voronin
      9 Flynn

      No Dossena?

      Also Pacheco on his own up front with Benayoun playing behind him? And is Rafa testing the waters with Insua in a more advanced wingers position?

      Benitez had said he wouldn't take part.

      I fancy Pacheco to grab the first goal.

      I expect Rafa to make a few changes in the second half.........an interesting team though.

      Will be good to see how Pacheco gets on.

      I'm going for Yossi to score first goal  :D

      Darby------Hobbs---Agger-------Carra
      Pennant--Lucas---Plessis--------Insua
      ----------------Yossi-----------------------
      --------------Pacheco---------------------

      You've got to worry for Carragher.  He isn't getting any younger and he seems to be getting pushed around as a left or right back these days.

      With Degen, Dossena, Arbeloa and Aurelio all capable of playing in those positions, and with Skrtel, Agger, Hyypia and even Hobbs still about I think the days of Carragher being one of the first names on the teamsheet are over.

      I've been thinking the same thing myself. I doubt he'll be playing as many games as he did last season. And it'll be interesting to see how many times he's not used as a central defender.

      Looks like a pretty good line up and it will be good to see how the youngsters do, hopefully they will have a great game and get selected again

      I think that he will be playing just as much next season, maybe missing the carling cup games and thats it because he is part of the spine

      Are these the squad numbers for next season? Plesses - 7, Flynn - 9, Voronin - 10, Pacheco - 11... I guess we wont be making any big signings that will take these numbers then?
