Pre-match: Lille vs. Liverpool - 11/3, 18:00 (Europa League)

[Red Barrovian]

Well, next on the agenda is Lille in the last 16 of the Europa League. We were nothing short of an embarassment against Wigan and things need to change desperately.

My team would be:

Reina

Mascherano     Carragher     Kyrgiakos     Aurelio (if fit)

Lucas    

Benayoun           Aquilani                        Babel

Pacheco

N'Gog

Subs: Cavalieri, Johnson, Insua, Agger, Gerrard, Torres, Riera

And believe me I'm not resting Gerrard or Torres. I don't think they deserve to start.

Come on LIVERPOOL!

[clint_call01]

For me I will play like this:
                                      Reina
  Johnson                  Carra.                 Soto.            Insua
                                   Mascherano
                          Lucas                   Aquilani
          Babel                                                       Reira
                                     Torres

[MsTorres]

Ok-  Maxi instead of Riera

Anyone instead of lucas

And I would go with that!

[racerx34]

                  Reina

Johnson Agger Kyrgiakos Aurelio

         Masherano Aquilani

Babel        Pacheco         Benni

               Torres

That would do for me.
I'll forgive Torres for being rusty as a yard gate against Wigan

[paulrobbo]

Something along the lines of Reina, Darby, Kelly, Ayala, Mavinga, Amoo, Kacaniklic, Mascherano, Aquilani, Pacheco and N'gog after last night please Rafa.

[Red Barrovian]

Ok-  Maxi instead of Riera

Maxi is cup tied.

[Brian78]

I never want to see Masch at right back again

Time for the boll** to stop. Throw that 4 3 2 1 nonsense out the window Thursday go 4 4 2 and end this tie in the 1st leg. Love to be able to drop at least 5 or 5 from last night but it wont and probably cant happen

I would love to see

Reina

Kelly Sotis Agger Insua?? (who else)

Johnson Aquilani Masch Babel

     Pacheco Torres

[Red Barrovian]

To be honest mate, I would love to see 4-4-2 as well. The reason why I put out the formation that I did was because I can't see Rafa changing the formation.

[SODMG]

Kuyt, Gerrard and Torres were poor, they need a wake up call so drop the lot:

---------------Reina----------------
Glen----Carra----Kyrgi----Insua
--------------Masch----------------
Babel-------------------------Riera
-------Aquilani---Pacheco-------
--------------N'Gog-----------------

Cava, Agger, Kelly, Gerrard, Lucas, Kuyt, Torres.

[redkenny]

I'm not sure I can take another match just yet. But I know if I was a player who felt guilty of not giving my all for the shirt, then I'd want another match as soon as possible.

This will be an interesting one to watch.

If Kuyt starts this game, then I'll be severely pissed off with Rafa. I don't care if Maxi is cup tied - Kuyt doesn't deserve a place in the squad.

[LFCBAFC]

If I was Manager:

                 ----Reina----

Johnson----Carragher----Krygkiorus----Insua

-----------------Mascherano----------------

Kuyt---------------------------------Benayoun

                 Aquilani---Gerrard

                 Torres

Subs: Cavalieri, Darby,Kelly,Lucas,Babel,Pacecho

[Y.N.W.AScouseJayY.N.W.A]

           Reina

 Glen Carra Kyrgi Insua
           
           Masch
 
Babel      Lucas      Riera
           
                 Aquilani 

       Ngog
         
Subs: Cavalier.Degan,Gerrard,Agger,Torres,Pacecho

[Ross]

Need a strong team for this - Lille are not to be underestimated.

Gervinho, Frau and Hazard particuarly I think are the ones to look out for.

Heard he's really, really dangerous.

I'll get me coat.

[Ross]

HAHA!

I'll get it for you Paul!

[Redmen]

Im still so pissed off with last night I dont even want to predict who will play because apart from Pepe the rest dont deserve to play.

I will maybe post my line up tomor once ive cheered up a bit 

[SODMG]

Hazard is rapid and plays on the RW. I won't be able to watch. Insua can't even stop Insomnia, I mean N'Zogbia

[LFC Viking]

If I was Manager:

                 ----Reina----

Johnson----Carragher----Krygkiorus----Insua

-----------------Mascherano----------------

Kuyt---------------------------------Benayoun

                 Aquilani---Gerrard

                 Torres

Subs: Cavalieri, Darby,Kelly,Lucas,Babel,Pacecho

I think that's probably what Rafa will go with but personally I wouldn't have Kuyt starting after his recent performances.

I'm after plenty of goals and good performance off the red men to help celebrate my 18th on Thursday though so I hope after yesterday they'll come out with more fight and determination

[Bpatel]

I'm not sure I can take another match just yet.

Was thinking the exact same thing, its so soon!!

I hope the players that turned up yesterday don't appear again. Won't even bother predicting a score here.

Bloody hell. I remember watching that on an old, sh*t little fuzzy TV in my conservatory.

I've got a bloody gig during a game AGAIN. Getting annoying!

[chats]

                         Reina
       Johnson Kelly      Sotis     Agger
       Babel    Masch    Aquilani   Riera
                   Gerrard
                             Torres

Last chance for Gerrard or else I'd drop him for the Pompey game. Insua deserves to be dropped as he can't f**king defend. Kuyt doesn't deserve a place in the squad and I think that Alberto deserves games now. If he isn't fit he shouldn't be on the bench like he is at the moment, so I don't see why he shouldn't play. Torres needs games so I don't think dropping him is reasonable. Babel deserves a go too since he has actually starting to put in a shift.

Huge game this, could be our best chance at playing in Europe next season.

[kelvo]

Agree, Insua is just nowhere near the level he should be at the moment.

If no Aurellio and he's fit I would play Agger there!

                 Reina

Johnson   Carra Sotis  Agger

          Masch  Gerrard

Maxi       Yossi       Babel

                Torres

[chats]

Maxi is cup-tied mate.

[philH]

Agree with Red Kenny no way that Kuyt deserves a starting role in this one

[kelvo]

Bollox!

I'm still so angry I typed Maxi instead of Babel on the right and Reira on the left 

[JD]

I reckon we'll get beat 10-0.

Might get lucky and get an away goal though.

[LFC_Stuart_1988]

Reina
Johnson - Soto - Agger - Insua
Pacheco - Gerrard - Masch - Babel
Aquilani
Torres

Yossi could miss this one after missing training today with an Ankle injury.

[Glenbuck]

I have us down for a 3-0 win with Lucas getting the first goal after Carra sprayed a 30yrd forward pass straight to him and he finishes it with an athletic Bicycle kick....No nurse I will not wear that funny white jacket!

You have to laugh dont you  

Oh okay I can see us getting a draw and finishing them off at Anfield

[ORCHARD RED]

Would like to see this attacking line up to try to get an away win.            
        
              Reina

Johnson  Sotis  Agger Carra

               Masch  

   Babel       Gerrard    Reira

              Benayoun
                
                Torres

I would put Benni behind Nando to try and find a way through the defence. I Doubt Raffa will play Babel from the start, I expect Kuyt to start on the wing.
