Hope Johnson can punish Chelsea ,it is about time he found the net again,I think Carroll will start and put Chelsea under pressure from the kick off.Suarez to terrorise the bastar*s.

Will be LIVE here : http://www.sportp2p.com/football/chelsea-liverpool-fc-2-26880.html

 I'd play big Andy up top and drop Suarez in behind him. All the Chelsea fans in the pub are very nervous about the game (apparently their defence is currently laughably bad), but I think we'll do well to win and I'd take a point to be totally honest. Our current run of results (too many draws) will actually look OK if we can avoid defeat in our next two as we'll be 11 unbeaten or something. Lose one or both though and while we won't exactly be languishing, we won't be ripping it up either.

If we'll use 4-3-3 and Suarez plays on the right, will he racially abuse Cole?

I wouldn't have thought so, no.

Feeling quietly confident about this.
Want to win this more for Luis than anything else . He must be feeling really sick of this whole business .
I hope that the lads show their support for him today in whatever way they can.
I have no doubt that our fans will show their support in their own unique way.

0-2 Suarez with both.

Dont think we should start Bellamy in this one. i think he'd have more of an impact on the match coming on as an impact substitue.

It will be much easier to get in behind their high line when all their defenders are tired.

Not feeling confident about this one at all for some reason, just got that feeling in the stomach. Good thing for us is that Chelsea have lost that defensive stability they had for so long but i'm nervous about torres having his first big game for them.

Interesting stat.
Torres has scored more PL goals this calander year with Liverpool than Chelsea.
4 in 1 month vs 3 in 10

But to be fair, didn't play much football in June and July

Anyways, all I want is 3 points. I don't care who plays, who the referee is or how we play .. just win the game.

AvB saying we should be challenging for the title after the amount  we spent. If that along with the fact that we're already 15 points behind the leaders are not motivation, I don't know what is.

Going to my mate's to watch the game on sky, he is a utd fan, so hope we can pull off another good performance and come away with 3 points, as we seem to have difficulty winning at home lately. Really need something from the game to get the momentum going again. I hope Suarez shows his international form and bags a couple of goals against a vulnerable Chelsea defence.

Some quite intresting facts for todays game and reading some of the Chelsea forums they are are just wanting to get through this one any way possible  most of there fans are concerned about there weak defence and think that Suarez will run rings round it which he will of course 

I love this fact the most "Kenny Dalglish is unbeaten in all 11 previous matches as Liverpool manager against Chelsea in all competitions - winning eight and drawing three."

Lets make it nine today 

Lets win this for Luca Jones

Chasman 555.
Ive just spent the last 10 minutes doing the BBC thing and you post it!

Ill put the kettle on then.

Lets win this for Luca Jones

Yes.

In that case, I'll take a 0:1 win from a late, scrappy Dirk Kuyt goal.

I no every game is a must win but i think if we lose this wel be struggling and with city next week we could fall further away. But im confident today hope luiz plays at the back for them therel be loads of space

sorry to steal your thunder,  there is some interesting facts there the only one that worries me is the fact that Frank Lampard is the top midfield scorer this season and he has 6 goals, lets hope that he has used up his quoter for the season

If you putting the kettle on white coffee please 

It's a game we must win. Same goes for next week.

A loss would put us 6 points behind 4th place and next week, potentially 18 poinds behind the leaders. It's only November!

Two wins would put us back in the Champions League spot.

We have to give £50m back for one goal?

Shocking.
