Sparta Prague vs. Liverpool F.C. Thur, 17 Feb 2011 K.O. 20:05

Hopefully Raheem didn't have to do much homework so he can bag a goal or two today:)

His performance monday suggests he needs to build on that....so he needs to get 10 or 11 

Hello  i'm new here

Great to see 16 year old Sterling named in the squad after his 5 goals the other night for the u18's

Looking at the squad this would be my guess at the team I think Kenny will put out.

-------------------------Reina--------------------------
--------Skrtel----------Carra----------Soto------------
Kelly--------------Lucas----Aurelio----------Johnson
----------------Cole------------Meireles---------------
------------------------Kuyt----------------------------

OR

-----------------------Reina-----------------------
Kelly-----------Skrtel------Carra--------Johnson
Maxi-----------Lucas------Meireles----Cole/Aurelio
-----------------Kuyt-------Ngog----------------

Wilson & Ngog will start mate. I'm sure of that. They did very well in the early rounds the deserve their shot.

Looking forward to this one and we need to do the job in this game and put it to bed to take the pressure off us when we return to Anfield.

                                    Riena

Kelly                 Carra                 Wilson            Johnson

                      Lucas                Aurelio

 Kuyt                        Miereles                          Cole

                                N,Gog

Always important to score when playing the first leg away in Europe, N'gop has quite a good record of scoring in this competition if I'm correct.

raheem sterling was nicknamed the majician by head of youth development at QPR.and from the video i saw of him i would say he has earned that title. he could be what micheal owen was to liverpool many years ago. if he continues his development.

I'm hoping Cole starts tonight and takes his chance, most people were buzzing when we signed him, he's been unlucky with injuries and it didn't help that he got sent off on his debut but when he's fit and at his best he has a lot more to offer than the likes of Jovanovich and Maxi..

I want Cole to well too. Hope he plays just off Ngog.

I'm a little surprised by so many people thinking Dani Pacheco will start. Don't get me wrong - it would be great for him to start but he has hardly featured at all under Kenny so far.

Lets put it this way, if Rafa, Roy and Kenny are reluctant to give Pacheco more games-  what does that say about Dani? Maybe he is not as good as we think he is, the coaches see the players every day. In reverse you can use the same arguement for Lucas and Kuyt who seem to get a lot of stick, 3 successive managers continue to play these footballers, they must be valued!

I am hoping one of the youngesters start  (maybe Coady) and would like to see Joe Cole or Pacheco play off N'gog

I hope the babysitter has got Raheem all prepared today 

Hope the lad Raheem get's a run out, what an experience for him, half term was never like that when I went to school.

                              Reina
Kelly          Carra                  Wilson            Johnson

                Lucas                 Meireles

     Cole                  Pacheco             Sterling

                              Ngog


Ngog deserves a go since he's done well for us in Europe so far. Not a single player has impressed me down the wings so far this season so I'd give a Sterling a run from that left wing.

Hope Pacheco gets some game time, or else he'll be gone soon.

welcome to the board, buddy

so is pacheco in the team?

I think N'Gog could well score tonight, with a 2-1 win to the Reds, feel quite confident as kick off nears.

Thanks  i can't see Pacheco starting tonight, i'd like him too but i think he'll be on the bench

Cheers David!

Don't think any of the youngsters would actually start so I hope to see

                               Reina

         Carragher        Kyrgiakos        Skrtel

Kelly                         Lucas                       Johnson

                   Maxi               Meireles

                              Cole

                              Kuyt

Would like to see Pacheco feature at some point but for the rest of the younger players, I guess it depends on the scoreline around the 60th minute mark.

What what what? someone say Cole may start?

With this being our only shot at a trophy this year, I'd be surprised to see any of the youngsters from the get go.
I'm thinking a starting side of:

                        Reina
        Skrtel        Carra           Soto
Kelly                                           Johnson
                       Lucas
         Meireles                Maxi
                        Cole

                              Ngog

If we get up by a few then I think we could see some youth enter the fray.
I'm with everyone that I'd like to see Pacheco or Sterling get a run in from the start in lieu of Maxi, but I'd guess Kenny will err on the side of caution to start out.

I can't see Dave starting ahead of Kuyt but apart from that I think that's a fair assumption of what team we will field tonight.

I reckon it'll be     

                         Reina

           Soto       Carra           Wilson
Kelly                                           Johnson
                       Lucas
         Meireles                Cole
                       Pacheco

                        Ngog

Could go either way but after Kuyt's performance against Wigan, wouldn't mind seeing Ngog get a run from the start (not that he was any better but maybe a little shake up/different look could do some good.
