LIVE Match: Liverpool v Blackburn Rovers

Confirmed team: Reina, Arbeloa, Insua, Agger, Carragher, Alonso, Mascherano, Riera, Benayoun, Kuyt, Torres.

Subs: Cavalieri, Gerrard, Dossena, Lucas, Ngog, Skrtel, El Zhar.

Good to see Agger and Insua back.
Mascherano as well.

Decent team that, quite glad Gerrard isn't being risked really.

Just as I thought Gerrard on the bench, not worth playing him from the start, see if we win without the need to risk him. An injury now could keep him out for two or three weeks.

Good Line up

Where is Babel? Maybe for tuesday?

Happy with that 

Don't forget Football Focus starting at 12.10. BBC 1

A special show from Anfield and Hillsborough marking the 20th Anniversary.

Aurelio and Skrtel dropped (or rested), straight swaps Masch for Lucas and Benny for Gerrard.

That starting line-up should be more than capable of winning this match comfortably.

Let's see to them early doors, put a bit of pressure back on the Mancs and regain some confidence.

Come On You Reds!

Good Line up

Where is Babel? Maybe for tuesday?

I was wondering, I thought he could have started this one too after some of Riera's poor performances.

So of course he didn't even make the bench!

Good team.

Come on lads get the job done quick so there's no need to risk Gerrard.

A good win today will be just the boost we need for next week come on you reds.apart from which I hate fat Sam.

good morning everyone and come on you reds!

Just a reminder that links to the match should be put in the Streams thread, not in the match thread.

Beautiful day for a game of football!

Nice gesture from Blackburn to offer a wreath of flowers, I thought.

RIP 96.

Samba attacking? Isn't he central defender? Sam must want to score from a header

Come on you reds.

Alonso's passing looks to be back to it's best so far!

WHAT A GOAL!

Brilliant goal torres!

Torres buries it

Torres!!!!!

What an amazing lob from a tricky angle!

Reminded me a little of the one Gerrard got against Marselle.

Yellow card?
