As I've said before, I don't expect a full strength team but I do hope we make sensible changes, changes which will teach us something and possibly help us to improve. I'd very much like to see Markovic play for instance, and if he does I hope we play him left side where he's clearly more effective. I'd like to see us play Coutinho deeper if he plays in the ten, almost as a central midfielder and lets see him get on the ball in all areas, hold it and dictate the pace of the game. He doesn't need to split the defence every time he gets it. I'd like to see Borini get very close to Lambert if they do play together, less of the tearing about like a silly c*nt and more work with the noddle, work in tandem with your partner. I don't think it'll happen but I'd like to see Jordan Henderson as the holder. I'm convinced we'll look a far better team when he and Gerrard switch, so while there's no need to test Gerrard out at right mid having Jordan as the holder would give him a stab at that before Saturday.
Obviously I want to win, but I'd like it to be a bit of a kickstart rather than just a run out.
