      Houllier is going to be at the match tonight, good to see him returning.

      Can't be bothered predicting whose going to start, or the score, all that matters is a win and a clean sheet, and build the confidence before the mancs come to town.

      I would normally agree that the result is everything tonight but boy could we do with a stirring perfomance to get us all excited about Sunday.

      I'll be at the top of the Kop in block 306, singing me head off!

      305 here. Will look out for you if you don't make it to the alehouse before the game - but make sure you do!  ;)

      Pumped up to bits for this game!! ROAARRR!!!!

      Just bumped into a few Lyon fans down the road and sang YNWA at them. They joined in. Pure class! Love European games!

      Let's face it. Our backs are against the wall tonight. The players and the fans have got to turn up and produce a Liverpool type performance in Europe. I'm certain we can do it.

      Come on you mighty reds!!!

      On a side note. The biggest cruise liner in the world docked up in the Mersey today. Loads of reds on it!!  ;D

      I'll do me best! Depends what time we arrive. I'll be wearing my retro white LFC jacket and my away top underneath. I'll look out for you.

      In 07-08 we lost 2 and drew one in our first 3 games in the Champions League.  We then stuffed 8 past Besiktas, beat Proto 4-1 and went to Marseille and won 4-0.

      We can do this - hopefully tonight will be start of our stunning run of form.

      Come on lads!

      Come on lads. More than anything tonight, i want to see passion and pride. All is not lost, the players are the makers of their own destinies. If you want it, then show you want it. To wear the red of Liverpool Football Club is an honour, do us proud lads, and good luck.

      HOULLIER: KOPITES ARE WORLD'S BEST
      Louise Goulding 20 October 2009

      Gerard Houllier has labelled Liverpool fans 'the best supporters in the world' as two of his former clubs prepare to meet at Anfield tonight.
      The Frenchman spent six years in charge of the Reds, before going on to manage Olympique Lyonnais from 2005 to 2007.
       
      "At Anfield the fans are fantastic - the best in the world. You'll see the singing at the beginning of the game and it makes you shiver, it gives you some kind of different feeling," Houllier told Lyon TV.
       
      "They're very supportive of their team. They like good football and they like their team to win, but not necessarily in an ugly way - they want their team to win in style."
       
      The 62-year-old also revealed his admiration for his successor Rafa Benitez and Liverpool's current crop of players.
       
      "Liverpool are a prestigious club," he said. "To me they are one of the best, if not the best, in Europe, with fantastic people, a great coach and good players."
       
      However, the former French international manager, who will be at Anfield for the first ever meeting between the two sides, would not be drawn on who he wanted to win the game – but could not hide his passion for Liverpool.
       
      He said: "I will definitely be at the game and I don't think I will show my feelings and emotions who ever scores, but everyone knows that Liverpool is deep in my heart and always will be."
       
      Houllier also spoke of his frustration at not coming up against the Reds in the Champions League during his two years in charge of the French outfit.
       
      He added: "I played nearly 20 Champions League games with Lyon and I never had the opportunity to meet one single British team, but since I've left they have played Manchester United and now they are playing Liverpool."

      Tempo.

      Let's start quick, get in their faces and have a couple of early efforts at goal.

      We really need the fans in full voice tonight and eleven players who have that desire to win, that's been lacking of late.

      Come on You Reds, let's get our season back on track!

      A win is so crucial tonight! Come on Lads, this is where we start out decent run! Please?! By the way, if you fancy sticking a few quid on tonight's game, there is a Champions League promotion here - I might give it a go.

      As for tonight - 3-0 win and all is well in the World again.

      Babel? Not for me.

      I'm also not entirely sure about playing Benayoun right wing - up against Cissokho. He's a right tank that lad. Strength may be a bit of an issue, unless he rips him apart with skill.

                            Reina
      Johnson   Agger       Carra   Insua
      Kuyt       Gerrard    Masch   Yossi
                   Voronin    N'Gog

      After hearing about that Pjanic lad, probably best if we play Masch. Gerrard should be dropped back a bit to keep his ticking along. Nothing against Lucas, it's just he'll be very important on Sunday and with Torres back then, (hopefully) Gerrard will move further upfield for that one, so this is a chance for a bit of a change.
