Birmingham City F.C. v Liverpool F.C. (Barclays Premier League) 12.09.2010.

Well Kuyt looks like he is out so here would be my line up

                       Reina

Johnson     Carra       Agger   Konchesky

              Gerrard      Meireles

Maxi                Pacheco       Jovanovich

                       Torres

More realistically though, Gerrard in the hole, Pacheco will miss out, and Lucas/Poulson will come in.

I like it though! But your probably right about Lucas and Poulson.....(sigh)

Do we ever play on a Saturday anymore?

I kinda like it , it gives me something to look for on the most boring day of the week

Would be VERY surprised if RoysBoys (Poulsen & Konchesky) don't start this one.
Would love to see Pacheco given a start as Dirk injured (can't ever remember him missing a game through injury?)
BIG performance needed.
                                 COME ON REDMEN......IRWT.

Seeing as Cole is still out. 4-2-3-1. With... Reina, - Glen, Carra, Dagger, Paul. - Lucas, Raul, - Maxi, Stevie, Dani, - Nando

Or Cole when he returns?

I'd love to see that, so much creativity behind Torres. Can't see it happening though.

 Well I don't know...now that Kuyt is injured and Joe Cole is still out, maybe Pacheco gets his chance. I know when (it's not a matter of if) he comes in he will turn heads. I mean he started turning heads last year in the little to none playing time he got.

I'd like to think Pacheco would start but I suspect with Lucas, Poulsen and Meireles to choose from, Roy will pick any 2 of them in midfield with Gerrard in the hole.
Like this....

                      Reina

Johnson     Carra       Agger   Konchesky

              Poulsen      Meireles

Maxi                Gerrard       Jovanovich

                       Torres

I guess we're still getting to know Roy though so maybe he'll surprise us.

If reports are to go by:

                            Reina

Johnson      Carraher       Agger       Konchesky

                 Meireles       Lucas

    Maxi                Gerrard                Pacheco

                          Torres

Jones
Skrtel
Kelly
Poulsen
Babel
Jovanovch
Ngog

Would make sense I suppose. Roy obviously trusts Konchesky's defending and with Lucas back there as well, Pacheco would be free to express himself.

                          Reina

Johnson      Carraher       Agger       Konchesky

                 Meireles       Gerrard  

    Maxi                  Pacheco           Babel
            
                          Torres

That's what I'd play to be honest. Is Cole still serving his ban? As I would've replaced Pacheco for him.

Maxi has to play now..

Is Pacheco away on duty?

He normally is..

What about Ngog is he back from Injury?

Damn, I didn't even think about that! Sometimes I think first club football should come first, I mean during the pre-season friendlies he was off with Spain and that's great and all but Roy didn't even get to see what he can do against opponents he could dominate. 

                           Reina

Kelly        Carragher       Agger       Konchesky

                          Poulsen

               Gerrard               Meireles

    Maxi                                            Babel
                           Torres

Jones, skrtel, Aurelio, Johnson, Shelvey, Ngog, Jovanovic   ( not sure if Pacheco is on international duty )

                           Reina

Kelly        Carragher       Agger       Konchesky

                          Poulsen

    Maxi                                            Babel
                           Torres

Any reason for benching Johnson?

Simple....Kelly is a better all round player for me. Anyway, I would use johnson further up the pitch, where he does damage.

Is Pacheco away for this game?

I agree Johnson is better attacking wise, but I just cant see Roy benching him for Kelly, unless he plays Johnno in midfield. and maybe Lucas for Poulsen

I like the way your line up is set up, I'd just have Johnson over Kelly.

lets call up Suso for it

lets call up Suso for it

Why not - and Sterling!

I think our reserves could smash these.
