Liverpool vs Trabzonspor (Europa League) 19.08.2010

Giving respect to the opposition is a good thing but I believe we can afford to give the front liners some rest for the city game.I will go with the below team

            Pepe

Kelly   Soto   Skrtel   Aurelio
       
       Poulsen   Lucas

Maxi                      Babel
              Aquilani
         
               Torres

and we still look damn strong

Aquilani can play as attacking midfielder?

1 hour and 20 minutes to go, how long until the team is officially out do we reckon, 20 minutes?

About 20 minutes. Although it is widely reported to be:

Reina
Kelly
Carra
Sotis
Aurelio
Poulsen
Lucas
Maxi
Jovanovic
Cole
Babel

1 hour and 20 minutes to go, how long until the team is officially out do we reckon, 20 minutes?

Usually 40-45 before kick off or so.

                       Reina

Kelly     Carragher       Sotis      Aurelio

            Poulsen        Lucas

  Maxi               Cole               Milan

                      Babel

Pretty much guaranteed says everyone.

I'm happy with that squad ^, will go with that for now then.

Its true that Babel is up front, seen it on twitter a lot.

I hope Babel doesn't play as the lone striker, he is so wasteful and unable to hold up the ball. I know he says its his favourite position and all that but on the odd occasion he has played there he hasn't impressed.

I'd play Ngog.

Whichever way hope we batter these, sick of the vast majority fans coming on here being disrespectful.

Aquilani not even on the bench! This spells bad news for him. :\

No Stevie on the bench either.

The team in full is: Reina, Kelly, Aurelio, Kyrgiakos, Carragher, Lucas, Poulsen, Cole, Maxi, Jovanovic, Babel. Subs: Cavalieri, Torres, Wilson, Ngog, Spearing, Skrtel, Pacheco.

Roy must want to see what Babel is made of. I can see Torres or Ngog coming on for either Maxi or Jovanovic with Ryan going out wide at some point in the game.

Given that he rarely had the chance, if ever, to play up front, I think Babel deserves a chance in that position. But he must impress tonight.
