Liverpool v Benfica - Thursday 8th April, 8.05pm Kick off

No there was a second match after that which we lost I'll go back and find it if you want, Gerrard and Lucas were piss poor in midfield and Masch was lost at right back. Lucas played for 15 minutes against Lille the only 15 minutes he has played since Christmas.

We need goals tonight we won't get them off Lucas. Lucas performance against Birmingham doesn't jusify him playing tonight ahead of Aquilani Gerrard or Masch in midfield. One game weeks ago doesn't justify his inclusion. Your only as good as your last performance.

It was away against Wigan the match we lost 1-0, Masch was right back, Lucas and Gerrard were in midfield. Our midfield was awful James Mccarthy pissed all over them. Possibly the worst performance of the season.

 Masch was badly missed as Lucas put in another below par performance. The reason I don't want the team set up like that tonight. Benfica are a much better side then Lille.

                         Reina

             Carra     Soto      Agger

Glenninho            Masch               Benni

             Gerrard            Aquilani

                   Pacheco
                           Torres

                       

Yip racer, that would do for me but there's more chance of me stepping in Hobby Horse's sh*te than Rafa dropping Lucas and Kuyt.

I must have left them on the bench by mistake....

Arghhhhhhhhh have to go back to work     (feel sorry for me!)

Will miss most of the first half- but wll be kicking everyones arses so we can get out early!!

You need to change your hours girl! Hope you get off early.

Fired up to bits! Been to town this morning and there was a few Benfica fans knocking about with smiles on their faces.

We can't be having them going home with smiles on their faces.

Come on you mighty reds!

Breaking team news.

Spanish wonder-kid to partner Torres.

Bet he still can do a job.

Ha ha. I was expecting a Pacheco picture... but you knew that didnt you

I know Masch is good but doubt he could play both positions 

I dolike the second option but would Rafa really be that adventurous?

Good spot there, mate. Wonder what I was thinking!

be the same old story torres brutalized game over. this befica team are a bunch of thugs and the refs do nothing

bring ON PACHEO PLEASE

We have to grab this game by the balls 3 at the back and have Johnson,and Yossi on the wings.I hope pacheco is given a game but it looks highly unlikely ! theres going to be a cracking atmosphere around the place and anyone thats going whether your in the centenary stand,the Kop,or the paddock make yourself F***ing heard we havent had much to shout about this year but i for one will be singing my lungs out for the full 90 !
Them Benfica away fans are loud so we're going to have to raise it tonight lets F***ing deafen Luisao  with boos whenever he touches the ball,Show Rafa how much we support him,Bounce when Torres gets his inevitable goals,,and intimidate Benfica with YNWA.
I dont know about you lads but since last week iv been getting more and more pumped up about this game ! Come on you reds lets have another historic european night.
Liverpool to win 3-0 Torres hat-trick YNWA IRWT

Hey corbally, thanks for the post rating. It appears my slightly contraversial views are not to everyones taste. Glad there is still some out there who can have a banter.  

Out with Reeves and Mortimer. 

Haha bloody hell.  Didn't realise it was 18:00!!

The game's gonna come around quicker than I thought then.  Gonna be proper nervy near kick-off I reck.
