Here's what I would go with:
Reina
Skrtel Coates Agger
Johnson Enrique
Sahin Shelvey
Suso
Suarez Sterling
Bench: Jones; Wisdom; Lucas, Gerrard, Allen, Assaidi; Yesil
No Gerrard, no Allen. Gerrard needs to improve his game because he's the captain and you expect a bit more out the captain of Liverpool Football Club. Plus, a bit of a rest could benefit him. Allen simply needs to be rested.
I don't think Lucas should start. I'd much prefer him to be eased back into the side. I'd let Lucas get a half though, so in the second half regardless of the scoreline, take off Coates for Lucas and then move Suso up and play 4-3-3.
We desperately need 3 points. Against Southampton. At Anfield. Feels weird saying that, but I do still have faith in what Brendan's doing. A solid win in which we play for the full 90 minutes can hopefully give us some confidence. This team is better than the results indicate.
