Pre-Match: LFC v Blackburn 28 Feb 3pm

                   Reina
Kelly       Carra      Agger     Aurelio
Maxi       Masch    Gerrard    Benayoun
             Kuyt       Babel

That'll do for me. I'd like to see Gerrard in the middle of the park today, nothing against Lucas or his performances but I'd just like to see us go 4-4-2 at home a bit more often. Can see thirty minutes or so for Torres and maybe some game time for Pacheco too if we're a couple of goals ahead.

Going for a 2-0 win. Gerrard and Maxi to score.

That the team chats ??  or what you want ??

Don't think the team has been announced yet?

I doubt it's the team, Rafa won't play Aurelio, Babel and Gerrard in their best positions. We can always hope though.

Oh no sorry!

Just what I'd like to see!

            Reina

Degan,  Carra, Agger,  Kelly

Maxi,   Masch   Gerrard ,  Babbel

            Benayoun

               Kuyt


I think Benayoun would cause more trouble for B'burn in and around the box. Babbel needs another game to see if he really is going to come good.
Torres and Pacheco to get a run out last 15 min's.

Why Kelly at left back?

Be interesting to see how Carra gets on if he returns to centre-back as expected.

Only conceded 2 in 9 PL games without him there.

Torres starts, come on lad!

The Reds XI: Reina, Mascherano, Aurelio, Agger, Carragher, Lucas, Gerrard, Benayoun, Kuyt, Rodriguez, Torres. Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, Babel, Insua, Ngog, Kelly, Ayala.

So by the looks of it we have Mascherano at right back... Yet have 2 right backs on the bench?

Any idea if it's aired anywhere in north america?
Ayala is center back, not right back.

Reina, Mascherano, Aurelio, Agger, Carragher, Lucas, Gerrard, Benayoun, Kuyt, Rodriguez, Torres. Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, Babel, Insua, Ngog, Kelly, Ayala.

Could be maxi and Torres upfront or even Gerrard more advanced but I can't see Rafa leaving Lucas on his own, and Masch Right back? oh dear.

I actually like this line-up.

I agree, Rafa had to do something and I dont see much wrong with Masch at right back because he will work hard and is fast enough to get forward down the wing and back again.

Fernando Torres starts for LFC against Blackburn Rovers this afternoon. Masch is at right back !

The absence of Soto Kyrgiakos and Martin Skrtel means Jamie Carragher returns to centre-back, with Javier Mascherano playing at right-back.
