Pre Match: Ludogorets v Liverpool Weds 26th Nov 7:45 kick off

Let's go there with a positive attitude and a team that will fight until the last minute for a victory!

I'd go with this side on Wednesday on the asumption that Hendo will be back and that Balotelli, Flanagan, Suso and Sakho are all still injured.

Obviously Sturridge is out for the long term.

Mignolet

Manquillo
Skrtel
Toure
Moreno

Henderson (c)
Lucas
Emre Can

Sterling
Lambert
Lallana

Subs: Jones; Johnson, Lovren; Gerrard; Coutinho, Markovic; Borini.

That side gives us plenty of energy and I think it will be good enough to get a victory out in Bulgaria.

Let's stop all this negativity and get behind Brendan and the team, if we win here we have a great chance to progress to the knockout stages, it will also give us confidence ahead of the Stoke game on Saturday.

Come on Reds!

this lot are a decent footballing side and we just got past them last time not sure if my nerves can take another 90  mins of mediocrity

Must win game, no excuses.

We'll find out Wednesday whether this squad has Brendans back or not. Hopefully the lads come out fighting because another display like the weekend will probably reduce this 28 year old to tears.

Mignolet

Johnson
Toure
Lovren
Moreno

Can
Allen
Lallana
Coutinho

Lambert
Borini

That's my team, but Rodgers won't have the guts to drop Stevie or Sterling (or play Borini from the start).

Mignolet

Manquillo - Skrtel - Toure - Moreno

Lucas

Emre Can - Lallana

Sterling - Borini - Markovic


Subs: Jones, Lovren, Allen, Henderson, Gerrard, Coutinho, Lambert

Can and Lucas pivot please, Brendan.

Manquillo
Skrtel
Toure
Moreno

Lucas
Lallana
Coutinho
Borini

Maybe i'm a little harsh on Allen but Lucas deserves to start after his Real Madrid performance.

On second thoughts....take Johnson out of that side....just not sure who I'd replace him with. Manquillo is a headless chicken sometimes. Maybe one of our young lads from the reserves?

2-1 to the red men. It's irrelevant who gets selected because they're near enough all as bad as each other at the moment but we must go with 2 up top. Stop this 1 up top business because we create absolutely F**k all when using it.

You do realise Sterling played up top yesterday and showed all those wanting him played up there that he is no centre forward.

I meant 2 strikers... Sterling isn't one of those, nor is he suited to playing there.

Fair enough.

Bench: Mignolet, Sterling, Gerrard, Lovren, Lallana, Henderson, Allen

Agree with that. With Borini, Allen and Markovic off the bench. The rest can stay at home.

Oops.

Just took Sterling out for Markovic.

We need to mix it up and do something different. We can't keep insisting with one up front in either Lambert or Balotelli - it isn't working.

My team would be:

                    Jones

Gerrard      Toure   Lovren     Moreno

                      Lucas

              Hendo      Lallana

                    Coutinho
           Sterling           Borini

Swap Can for Hendo if he isn't fit.


But I think Brendan's team will be:

                    Mignolet

Johnson     Skrtel     Lovren    Moreno

            Can  Gerrard  Lucas

Sterling                                Lallana
                    Balotelli
 
 

                       Mig
Manquillo, Lovren, Toure, Moreno
                      Lucas
          Henderson    Sterling
                   Coutinho
             Borini       Markovic

I reckon we should try something different up front. Maybe Markovic will become a revelation playing as a #9

Mignolet; Manquillo, Skrtel, Toure, Moreno; Can, Lucas; Markovic, Coutinho, Lallana; Borini.

Might as well give some of the others another chance, not like the players that walked back into the side post-Madrid have done anything useful.

Glen Johnson, Martin Skrtel, Dejan Lovren and Steven Gerrard.

Players Brendan needs to drop.
Time to pick a team based on current form.
Although picking a CB pairing without Skrtel and Lovren may be tough.

Oops.

Just took Sterling out for Markovic.

That's more like it
