----------
Reina, Enrique, Skrtel, Carragher, Agger, Downing, Henderson, Lucas, Adam, Kuyt, Suarez.

Subs: Doni, Carroll, Johnson, Maxi, Spearing, Bellamy, Coates.

Possibly our strongest bench for over 20 years,

Liking the look of this team, that's a good strong bench.  Plenty of options should we need them.

Either:

                    Reina

Skrtel   Carragher   Agger   Enrique

Henderson  Lucas   Adam   Downing

                Kuyt     Suarez

Or:

                   Reina

Skrtel   Carragher    Agger   Enrique

              Lucas       Adam

Kuyt               Henderson       Downing

                     Suarez
Or:

                   Reina

Skrtel   Carragher     Agger   Enrique

           Lucas          Adam

Henderson        Suarez        Downing

                    Kuyt
             

Kuyt, Suarez upfront?

So a 4-4-2?

Good to see this on twitter

Good luck LFC for the game today!! Come on!!! I ll be watching it.

Nice one Dani!

45 minutes and counting, come on you REDS!

Maxi, Carroll, Johnson, Bellamy & Coates on the bench.  Suddenly the bench looks stronger.

C'mon reds!!

Ha! Perfect.
Beat them on the counter with pace (Not that this is the only tactic). I am sure they were practising this as some of the training pics suggested.
Bellamy to come for Kuyt in the second half. Not sure about skrtel. Hope I am wrong though. Possible 3-5-2 on the cards with Jonhson coming on later.

Excited!

I am so pleased for the younger supporters to see Kenny work.He is the only one Ferguson fears and rightly so.We have put in some big defenders today to match Stokes ariel attack and I can see us winning this quite comfortably.Still cant get over the strength of our bench.

It'll be 4-4-2 to start and Kenny will adapt from there. Standard.

Strong team. Good to see Charlie is fit. Hope we can snatch a win here. 3 points will definitely be a massive confidence boost at the Britannia.

Hope to see Bellers, Glen and Andy come on.

Glad to see Kuyt up front with Suarez, think this is our most effective strikeforce,cmon you reds we can do this.

Pretty much who I expected. Whilst Gerrard is out I reckon that's our preferred starting eleven.

Looking for some good input by Henderson and Downing today.

Come on you mighty reds!!!

                                       Reina

            Skrtel          Carragher      Agger       Enrique


                               Lucas          Adam


             Henderson              Kuyt          Downing

                                       Suarez

Very strong team, with a great bench, can see Bellamy and Carroll coming on for Suarez and Kuyt in the second half, shows real strength in depth in our team and would not be surprised if we see Johnson or Coates make an cameo also.

Very confident about this game, come on reds!
                                   

Skrtel on the right as I predicted..

Good good..

Skrtel on the right as I predicted..

Good good..

Really surprised to see Skrtl starting on the right. I was under impression he only came on as a stop gap in the last game and that Flanno or even Coates would be opted for from the off in the next game

Stoke XI: Begovic, Huth, Shawcross, Upson, Wilson, Pennant, Delap, Whitehead, Etherington, Walters, Crouch.

Not quite the team I expected, but I am happy enough with it. Good bench with plenty options, if only Gerrard was on it too....now that would be a strong bench.

I am expecting a real hard slog today but I think we will still run out winners 2-0 Adam and Suarez to get the goals.

Wary of our right side, still not a fan of Henderson and Skrtel RB can be a hit or miss imo.

Hope we're set out like this:

---------------Reina--------------------
Skrtel----Carra----Agger----Enrique-
-----------Lucas----Adam-------------
-------------Henderson----------------
Kuyt---------Suarez---------Downing

Really think we should put pressure on their defense with our front 3 playing higher up... especially Suarez.

Exicted by this team glad we didn't play like for like and stick Carroll on.Henderson and Lucas in the middle will hold onto the ball all day,Skrtel suprised me a right back last week got forward and didn't make many mistakes.

Can't wait for this it's gonna be our toughest test i think we'l need our full squad to get a result can see maxi,bellers,and Carroll all getting a run out prediction is 1-1 but if we turn it on we can win this !

Come on you Reds !

Skrtel on the right as I predicted..

Me too Made perfect sense.

Plenty of options on the bench.

It can't be worse than last years game there.  Surely it can't.

Come on you mighty reds!

Gutted cant watch this with work again!
Hoping for a tight 1-0 win. Carroll on to score!
