James Carroll at Craven Cottage 31 October 2009

   Fernando Torres has been included in the Liverpool starting XI for today's clash with Fulham at Craven Cottage - listen to the game live online from 2.30pm BST.
The Spain striker is partnered by Andriy Voronin in attack, while Philipp Degen makes his first ever Barclays Premier League start in defence.
 
Liverpool: Reina, Insua, Degen, Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Kuyt, Benayoun, Mascherano, Lucas, Voronin, Torres
Subs: Gulacsi, Babel, Spearing, Plessis, Dossena, Eccleston, Ayala.
  

Kyrgiakos? Any reason why? N'Gog or Aurelio not on the bench?

Is this all correct...?

Wonder where Agger, Skrtel, N'gog and Aurelio are?

Where's Ngog, Skrtel and Agger?

EDIT: Beat me to it paulrobbo!

Well, whoever had money on getting Rafa's team right today might be crying.

Abit baffled but confident nonetheless!

No Agger?  sh*t, what's wrong with him?

Other than that surprise, that's a decent team.  Delighted to see Nando's playing.  Come on you Reds!  

Um.

No Agger, Skrtel, Aquilani, Aurelio, Cavalieri, Riera, Gerrard or Johnson.

That is bad. Bad, bad, bad.

Hope we can get this win.

Maybe Rafa is counting on the Lyon game?

Rafa left us all baffled again

Kyrgiakos and Voronin  

That isn't the most reassuring team selection, wonder if he has one eye on the trip to France but there are rumors some players have the swine flu but we are missing a lot of good players and our bench looks really thin.

I hope we can get the result but it is going to be tough.

Um.

No Agger, Skrtel, Aquilani, Aurelio, Cavalieri, Riera, Gerrard or Johnson.

That is bad. Bad, bad, bad.

Hope we can get this win.

Apart from the obvious injuries that we already knew about ...Aquilani's passed on his virus for the rest any one ?

Still confident of a result here Nando's on the pitch and I can see him coming home with the match ball 3-0 is my prediction.

Maybe Rafa is counting on the Lyon game?

You could be right.

Going to be extremely tough.  Need to be tight at the back, and not concede.  Torres find a way through and get on the sheet.  1-0 will do.

What The Family ! Voronin this is going to be a long day . .

As long as we have Kuyt, Yossi and Torres upfront, they don't stand a chance.

Not the players I was expecting to start today but they are still capable of getting a good result.

But its nice to see some of the youngsters on the bench.

Come on you Redmen!

That isn't the most reassuring team selection, wonder if he has one eye on the trip to France but there are rumors some players have the swine flu but we are missing a lot of good players and our bench looks really thin.

Rafa said Aquilani had a virus, not swine flu so I doubt it's that.

Aquilani has a virus. Gerrard and Johnson are still injured, god knows where the others are 

Oh blimey, poor Nando, being up front with Voronin, hope he doesn't get in Nando's way  :

Not sure at all about this team  : just hope we get the 3 points, a scrappy last minute winner will do me if that's what it takes to get those three points.

Come on Red men, prove all those doubting Thomas' wrong that we have a squad capable of beating these sort of teams. I don't think Danny Murphy's playing either today for Fulham.

Believe it or not but I'm actually tipping Voro to get a goal today.

Aquilani has a virus. Gerrard and Johnson are still injured, god knows where the others are

Murphy and Johnson out, as well as Davies, Kallio, Etuhu and Konchesky.

I don't think Danny Murphy's playing either today for Fulham.

Nor Andy Johnson and Simon Davies.

Eccleston on the bench i like.

Voronin partnering Torres up front?  . Bad omens even before the game started.  :
As for our subs bench, just hope we dont need them to try and get back in the game or find a winner, because nobody there is upto it. 
Still, keeping my fingers crossed about this one. Going for a 2-0 win.
