LIVE: Liverpool v Blackburn

The Reds XI: Reina, Mascherano, Aurelio, Agger, Carragher, Lucas, Gerrard, Benayoun, Kuyt, Rodriguez, Torres.

Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, Babel, Insua, Ngog, Kelly, Ayala.

Cheers for posting the team sheet, chats.

Ah, I see Masch is at right back.

Pretty strong team, IMO.

Come on Reds!

Babel should be in the starting lineup and Aquilani too

Getting quite tired of the lack of Pacheco now.

Great to see Torres back!



4-4-2 then?

Right then kids.

Tell us the formation.

Think he's with Spain U19's isn't he?

4-4-2 mate.

Im surprised rafa never stuck Kelly at RB. But masch has done a good job there before.

               Reina
Masch  Carra   Agger  Aurelio
Maxi    Gerrard Lucas  Benayoun
          Kuyt    Torres

That's what I'm thinking.

Really frustrated aquilani isnt playing again

Thank god Aurelio is playing, shame not to see Babel and Aquilani though

Right then kids.

Tell us the formation.

Its a toughy this.

                            Reina

Masch    Carragher            Agger   Aurelio

                                 Lucas

                     Gerrard

Kuyt                      Maxi              Yossi

                       Torres             

Could be 4-4-2 with Kuyt up top with Torres and Maxi on the right.

Fair play to Masch willing to fill in at RB. Shame not to see Kelly start though . Also gutted that Aquilani didn't start but Rafa knows what he is doing. So happy to see Torres start. Rafa would not have picked him if he didn't think he was fit enough so i am delighted that he is playing. Come on Reds, no messing about!!

Im sure Aquilani will come on 2nd half.

has to be 4-4 2.. Masch can do the job...

Torres is back

Rememeber his goal last season against Rovers? oooh repeat please...  Red Men Riot today please... lets get some goals goals n goals!!

Strong team! hope Babbel gets more than 10 min's if he comes on.

As good as he played against Everton, i'm not happy about Masch at right back. Kelly is on the bench, play him! He knows what it's about.

Torres starting is a massive risk also.

But Liverpool, i'm tired, sore and tired! Please, make me happy.

Could be anything, really flexible with the options we've got out there.

Really happy with it though and how much more confident do you feel when Torres' name is on the sheet!

Come on Reds!

I guess nothing Babel will do is ever going to be good enough. Line up seems pretty hefty, Rafa looking for a pile on.
Not so sure about Rodriguez in this match really but he may prove to be the highlight. Hope this game goes well in our favour.

No Aquilani...hmmm

Babel should very much change this game if its not going too well. Let's get this done!!

Think he's with Spain U19's isn't he?

Yep, you're right actually.

Feeling really good about this one, comfortable if unspectacular 2-0 win would do me reet.

Blackburn line-up?

Rafa has frenshend things up, 3 days after the last game. Nowt to do with how good certain players played. its all about fitness and availability.

Rafa has always rotated his wingers from day 1. So its not a big surprise.

                                    Reina

         Maxi              Gerrard        Lucas        Kuyt

                            Yossi

                                  Torres

Somewhere along them lines I think. He'll still refuse to play 4-4-2


And Torres better not score first the b***ard!! He'll lose me 12 quid haha

Not buying that mate, Babel has consistently played well against Blackburn it would have done wonders being awarded a place on the wing today. Hopefully Rafa puts him on early, Rodriguez may prove a different threat. On the left, with Roddy linking with Masch.
