      We're at Anfield, with one of the best home records in the league. It's up to them to worry about us. Not the other way around.

      Our line up is one that has served us well and kind of enforced with who is fit and who is playing well. Allen could come in to shore up midfield but he would replace someone who doesn't deserve to be dropped so i see why Brendan has chosen to stay with this line up.

      I would like to see us have the ball a bit more than the last 3 or 4 games....this Arsenal team will be hard to beat but we can do it.

      Need to defend better against Arsenal today, with no cock up's in defence. It is vital that we get something out of this game, the way the table stands.

      Think I've gone for a 4-1 win today so they'd better pull their fingers out to get me up the prediction league

      I went for 4-2 on the prediction league :D

      For some reason I knew Rodgers wouldn't start with Allen, despite all the talk on the match thread.
      It really depends more on how we set up than the name in the team really, here's hope we'll be at our aggressive best and make good use of our chances. Being wasteful against a good technical side like Arsenal could mean death!

      Come on Reds!!!

      Ballsy confident selection from the boss there and I hope we see the team perform as it did against the bitters.

      Personally I'd have liked that extra body in midfield but I also like how Brendan slects what he thinks is his best side to attack another team and he's done that again today.

      Same here. Allen for Sterling would've been my preference for this one. With Sterling giving us some spark off an otherwise uninspiring bench later in the game.

      We need to get something out of this game today or were relying on Spuds to keep us top 4.

      I think we are going to struggle to get possession today, so when we do get it we need to make the most of it. Hopefully more like against Everton than Villa. I think it will be more about the quality of possession we get rather than the amount of possession.

      Would have preferred an extra body in midfield but if we play with the right intensity we can win this. Gerrard really needs to step forward and give Henderson and Coutinho support today.

      Interesting team selection. Really does show how far Allen has fallen in Brendan's eyes when we're against possibly the best midfield in the country and he'd rather go a man light in there than bring him in.

      When you look at our bench, Allen is probably the only player on it that Brendan still believes in mate.

      Henderson needs to sit right beside Gerrard in this game, otherwise Arsenal midfield runners will make Gerrard look like a 90 year old.

      Going to have to be on it from the first whilst with that team. Do hope Brendan will change it quickly if it seems we're being overrun.

      I'd take a draw here to be honest but if we play with a similar intensity to the Everton game we have a great chance of 3 points.

      Yeah I agree.

      It feels a little bit like the one of those comedy horror films at the moment. I'm trying not to look at our midfield in the hope it's not as bad as I imagine it could be today. Hopefully I can put my pillow down after 5 minutes and just laugh it off.

      Hmm, that's a way of seeing it, but I don't really think Brendan has given up on him really, for me it's more a case of him being really without match fitness, and for him to come in you would have to drop either one of Coutinho (one of our main creative forces) or Sterling (in great form), so it was always going to be a difficult decision

      If Gerrard drops into the centre back position when we're defending, as he hasquite a lot in recent games, I expect Henderson and Coutinho to drop deep and both cover a helluva lot of ground today.

      Ah just seen Monreal starting ahead of Gibbs, need Sterling to get after him cos he's been sh*te lately.
