Pre Match: Chelsea FC v Liverpool FC - 20th November 4pm

This, but with Spearing, I'd be slightly concerned about his match fitness and sharpness.

Not an issue when he played against Stoke in the cup, he came in after not much recent action and was excellent.

If Stevie is not available I would play Jay and as mentioned in other post if Adam plays, hope its part of a central three not two.

Still seems miles off this, just hope all our lads return injury free.

I'd like to see Bellamy. Chelski's coach is very insistent on a high line, something Bellers can beat. I don't rate any of their defenders. We just have to get in to those goal scoring positions and bloody finish.

exactly, pace and creativity is what's needed against chelsea, not physical.cole has a bit of pace but terry, bosingwa and luiz don't. we'll need runners like downing and bellamy and suarez creating space. no need for a target man, just pacy midfield who drag their defense all over the park and a couple of tacklers to stifle their posession

                                 Pepe

                 carra        agger         skrtl
kelly/johnson                                     enrique
                        lucas        spearing
          bellamy                                  downing
                              suarez   

If Arsenal can do it, we can better that.

I thought for  a  moment we need more of a goal threat from midfield and then I thought no just stop hitting the woodwork and score form our chances.

this is my lineup


                                  Reina

Kelly            Skrtel                    Agger             Enrique

                      Lucas             Spearing

Bellamy                   Kuyt                        Downing


                             Suarez


pace and guile to get at their defence

My lineup would be:

                             Reina
 
 Kelly          Skrtel           Agger        Enrique
                   
                  Lucas           Adam
                         
                        Gerrard (Henderson)
      Downing                           Bellamy
                         
                          Suarez
                   


   

i tend to skip posts with line ups

 Have a feeling Chelsea will win this one and we will win the cup match

This might sound dumb, but is there a chance Gerrard will be fit for this one?
Word is he is out till christmas

 

Just can't believe statements like ' Downing needs to  be left out until he ups his game' and the same post leaves Adam in the side. The irony is, Downing is able to up his game, and Adam isn't.

Smash these classless cu*ts

Smash these classless cu*ts

With you all the way racer,let's give them the hiding they deserve x2.

A win will do for me, just hope our captain & vice-captain are fit to play by then because it's such games that we're going to need their experience and composure..
I would go with:

                               Reina

Johnson    Carragher    Agger     Enrique

           Lucas                        Adam

Suarez                 Gerrard              Bellamy

                             Carroll

                                         Reina

  Johnson             Kelly              Agger             Enrique

                                       Lucas
                 Gerrard(if fit)/Hendo          Aurelio
  Suarez                                                         Maxi
                                 Kuyt

We would be able to play very good possession football

Big game this....I would go...

                                          Reina

Kelly               skrtel                          Agger             Enrique

                                         Lucas

                      Henderson                 Adam

           Bellamy                                           Downing

                                         Suarez

Solid at the back...Lucas sat infront...pace out wide and Suarez a pest in the middle.... my 2 cents !!     

I can see us getting this we just don't want to sit too deep. Id go for:

                    Pepe
Glen    Carra      Agger    Enrique
         Lucas         Gerrard
Bellamy     Hendo    Downing
                 Suarez               

I can see us getting a lot of joy down our left hand side and with Luis causing them havoc. Lampard + Mata the ones to watch, been on form the pair of them in my op.

Suarez wont be playing for Uruguay on Weds.. Result! him and Andy up front with Dirk just behind them for me

I just want to see Agger forearm smash Torres again, even if we lost that would feel like a win.

Chelsea have not looked like a top team this season in my opinion.  They are getting results, but they haven't been thrashing teams the way City and United have been.  I think we should approach this game like we have been all of the others.  The only requirement for me is that Kuyt needs to start.  His energy and effort could prove vital as I think it will get a bit scrappy!  I'd go for:

                  Pepe
Johno  Skrtel  Agger  Enrique
           Lucas   Adam
Downing    Kuyt    Bellamy
                Suarez 

Have Kuyt, Downing, and Bellamy all switching positions in behind Suarez.  The movement and pace of that front 4 should be able to win it for us in my opinion. 

Lets be real - Bellamy is unlikely to start, as is Skrtel

Lets be real - Bellamy is unlikely to start, as is Skrtel

I know Carrol will likely start ahead of Bellamy, but why do you think Skrtel is unlikely?  Carra has been out injured for a few weeks, and the Skrtel/Agger partnership has been solid.  I don't see why Kenny would drop Skrtel for Carra when he is just coming back to full fitness and has not played in the last 3-4 weeks....

Suarez wont be playing for Uruguay on Weds.. Result! him and Andy up front with Dirk just behind them for me

Is that a def?  was looking on lfconline and Suarez has declared himself fit but the final decision lies with the coach and liverpool are keeping a close eye on things

Fingers crossed - but I'm assuming all the squad are back injury-free.

Is this a first?
