v Tranmere Rovers (Pre-Match)

The Tranmere match is a sell out, not sure how many the ground holds.

The players already back in pre-season training,
Martin
Degen
Carragher
Agger
Dossena
Pennant
Lucas
Guthrie
Leto
Benayoun
Pacheco
Carson
Finnan
Skrtel
Insua
Hammill
Plessis
Spearing
Aurelio
Voronin

Not sure if Gerrard is back yet.

Who do you think will play.

I don't know half of the young players, but I'll say to field an inexperienced side, to give them experience, if that makes sense.

                        Martin

Degan        Insua         Agger             Dosenna

Guthrie       Plessis       Spearing          Leto


          Pennant   Voronin

Ok so it's a bit of a mix match line up but why not? I'd love to see Pennant have a striker role and even he would look good alongside Voronin!

                        Martin

If Hobbs aint available for some reason then just put big bad Skrtel in!!

I would prefer pachetto and nemeth (if he is available)up front, insula is a v good player, wouldnt bother with voranin. he should be sold on asap

Having taken part in a full week's training at Melwood alongside his new team mates, Dossena is ready to make his Liverpool debut against Tranmere at Prenton Park on Saturday.
________________________ _________________

(It's the bottom paragraph)
Looks like Dossena will be in the team then.

Martin
Degen
Agger (if fit) Hobbs (if Agger isn't fit)
Skrtel (if Agger is fit) Antwi (if Agger isn't fit)
Dossena
Plessis and Spearing (holding mids)
Benayoun (wide right)
Bruna (attackin central)
Hammill (wide left)
Pacheco.

Have the three attacking midfielders interchanging.

Need to get some first teamers sharp again, especially defence. Would like to see some young up and coming attackers.

                          Martin

Degen      Carragher     Agger    Dossena

                         Plessis

Hammill      Pacheco    Guthrie    Benayoun 

                        Voronin

                                          Martin

Degen                     Hobbs?          Agger                Insua

Pennant                  Plessis            Lucas                 Aurelio

                                        Benayoun

                                        Voronin

I'd go with that. Bring Pacheco on late on?

Rafa: "I think that with Dossena, maybe he will not play against Tranmere.
 
"Degen we are working with and we will see."
-----------------------------------------------

Must say im suprised to see Voronin on so many teamsheets. Think i'd rather give Pacheco a shot upfront, we already know what Voronin can do.

What about Warington Juniors?

What about them?

He's only a small lad though. Would he be able to do it up there by himself against thugish division 1 defenders?

Only striker we have back. Trust me, no other way he's getting in my side

Also, whats the point in playing Lucas? He is leaving us to play for Brazil when we could blood a youngster. Lucas can get match fit with the national side.

True he is only small, would be good to give him a shot though even if its just for one half, or with a strike partner.

Out of interest how come people like El Zhar, Bruna etc arent training. I know why some first teamers arent, but how comes these youngsters arent aswell ? anyone know ?

No idea mate. Was thinking that meself.

Reserves have a pre-season as well. Might be with them.

The thing is the second half will probably new XI so it is tough to say what players will be playing first half or second half but I think a lot of the reserve players will get a run out and if they impress then they will get a shot of going to Switzerland to train with the 1st team and play friendly's over there rather than staying with Gary and the reserve squad.
