Pre Match: Reading v Liverpool. FA cup 3rd round KO 17:15

Disappointed if Aquilani isn't starting, think it's an ideal game for him to continue his adjustment into English football. He needs a string of starts as opposed to sporadic periods on the bench.

Bollocks to all this talk about youngsters tbh. I want the best team we have to be out there playing, the FA cup is more important than ever this year.

So you reckon our "best team" has been with Kuyt in the line-up and the likes N'gog and Pacheco don't deserve a place against sh*te like Reading? To borrow a phrase - Bollocks. 

Hope Torres gets his goal and then is withdrawn with time to go.

Maybe Pacheco on for him.

Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres have been named in the Liverpool starting line-up for tonight's FA Cup third round tie with Reading at the Madejski Stadium.

Youngster Stephen Darby is handed a starting berth at right-back, while Martin Skrtel is recalled to the Reds' defence as Rafa Benitez makes four changes to the side that began against Aston Villa.

Liverpool: Reina, Darby, Carragher, Skrtel, Insua, Kuyt, Gerrard, Lucas, Aurelio, Ngog, Torres. Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, Benayoun, Kyrgiakos, Babel, Spearing, Degen.

I thought Cavalieri would actually start.

Thought Pacheco would be on the bench too...

Babel on the bench instead of Pacheco always pisses me off.

However, a slice of Torres is always nice to see!

Looking forward to seeing the partnership of Torres and N'Gog up front.

I would of thought too Cavalieri would be starting and same with Degen as the last time Darby played he was a mess but pretty strong team
