      Yep do agree with you (obviously now he's injured) but playing that England game straight after getting injured definitely took something out of him.

      Hope Rossiter gets a game and would love to see Ojo in the squad.

      The Internationals have disrupted our start, no doubt mate and I think you might get your hopes answered with Rossiter and Ojo in terms of being in the squad.

      I hope they realize they have ruined my team selection!

      I think we need to put a reasonably strong side out, to make sure we are back to winning ways. Who knows how many changes BR will make, taking into acocount rest for a busy week or two, and players getting their time in. I'd go:
                       Jones
      Manquillo  Toure  Sahko  Enrique
                          Hendo
      Markovic                       Sterling
                          Lallana
                  Mario         Lambert

      Let's try the simple 4-4-2. Very fast, direct wingers along with 2 big finishers who can also hold the ball up. I was impressed with Lallana this past weekend, and I see no reason why Hendo cannot anchor the midfield.  He's big, strong and loads of energy. And let's have the fullbacks worry about doing their defensive duties, not bombing up the pitch every single opportunity.

      Give Sinclair and Suso a chance.

      Lloyd Jones deserves a chance given how horrible our defence is.

      B Jones

      Manquillo
      Skrtel
      Toure
      Enrique

      Henderson (c)
      Lucas

      Markovic
      Coutinho
      Lallana

      Lambert

      Subs: Ward; Johnson, L Jones; Rossiter, Brannagan; Suso; Yesil.

      Rest Gerrard, Lovren, Balotelli, Mignolet etc.

      Let's put a strong team out and start stringing some wins together.

      We have a better team than we have shown so far this season and I'm sure we will show that soon, let's stay positive and support our team through a sticky spell.

      Enrique

      Lucas
      Rossiter

      Markovic
      Suso
      Lallana

      Lambert

      Subs: Mignolet; L Jones, Moreno; Brannagan, Wilson; Ojo; Borini.

      Guessing it will be:

      Jones; Manquillo, Toure, Sakho, Enrique; Lucas, Lallana, Suso; Markovic, Borini, Lambert. 4-3-3, with Borini occupying a wide spot.

      I doubt Hendo and Coutinho would have been involved anyway.

      Guessing it will be:

      Jones; Manquillo, Toure, Sakho, Enrique; Lucas, Lallana, Suso; Markovic, Borini, Lambert. 4-3-3, with Borini occupying a wide spot.

      I'd say that's more than likely.

                Jones
      Randall Toure, Sakho, Enrique
                 Lucas or Rossiter
           Lallana   Suso
      Borini  Lambert Markovic

      Haven't been watching U21's this season and not sure if Randall is still around, but if he is and fit, I'd play him as our right back!

      Will be interested to see how Enrique/Markovic/Lambert/Lallana get on. And the other guys that come in. But mainly them.

      Personally think we are going to struggle, a lot of the players wouldn't have played together for where as Boro will put out heir strongest team I'd have thought. This wont be a stroll in the park IMO.

      Agree. Don't think we have much choice though (know some would want us to play strongest XI), reckon we need to rest some guys, and some other guys need game time to try play their way into form. Fingers crossed it will be enough to get through on the night.

      Give some of the young lads a go. Add some energy to the midfield.

      I want to see markovic given a good run also I think lallana should play because he looks very unfit(understandable). Its a shame can and allen are out these games would have been ideal to tinker with the midfield without gerard.

      I'd like to see us do well in the cup competitions. We have the depth to challenge for all 4 trophies and our youngsters have shown enough to be given the chance to play in the first team.

      Hearing Ojo and Rossiter will play is good to hear. Also hopefully Suso, Enrique and those guys who want to prove themselves play.

      is Suso still in the squad? If he doesn't get any football with all these injuries in midfield then I'm really upset about that, he needs a chance to show us what he's made of.
