Hello all me an a mate have got a ticket for Norwich on Sunday but are really struggling on transport is anyone going down that has any spaces?? would be greatly appreciated... Thanks Chris.

I think most people are thinking we will bring in Lucas and Allen for the injured/suspended pair of Studge and Hendo.  However, I could see BR bringing in Moses for Studge and one of Lucas/Allen for Hendo.  This would allow us to keep Coutinho in a deeper role where he has been excelling lately, and would also be a more attack minded lineup which is the BR and Liverpool way.  I wouldn't be surprised if the lineup looked like this on Sunday:

                 Migs
Johno  Skrtel  Sakho  Flanno
             Superman
       Allen           Coutinho
   Moses   Suarez   Sterling

I don't care how we get it done, we just need 3 points.  Hopefully Sunderland can pull another rabbit out and take points off the Chavs on Saturday which would really put us in the drivers seat going into our game!

I can see Coutinho playing where you put Moses and Lucas playing alongside Allen in front of Gerrard. Lucas can cover for Hendo and Coutinho can play well on the side of Suarez.  Moses doesn't offer enough to start.  He's a player I'd stick on to give other players a rest. He's okay to see the game out but he's not starting quality. There's a chance Sturridge might be fit anyway.

I have no doubt that we will beat Palace to be honest. We have far more to offer going forward than Everton or Chelsea. Chelsea struggled because they wanted everything to go through the middle of the park so it became very crowded. Palace capitalised by attacking them in the wide areas and Chelsea's full backs couldn't live with it. I'm not denying that they are very organised at the back but they have scored the second least amount of goals all season (27), only Norwich have scored less (26).

I agree, But as we ALL  know these last 4 games are all like cup finals, and so are all difficult from all and different aspects,,, its in our hands now and I believe we can do it

With Henderson suspended and Sturridge injured (potentially) I'd go with:

Mignolet

Johnson
Skrtel
Sakho
Flanagan

Allen
Gerrard (c)
Coutinho

Sterling
Suarez
Moses

Subs: Jones; Agger, Toure; Lucas, Alberto, Texeira; Aspas.

Allen for Henderson and Moses for Sturridge on the left, another option would be to put Lucas in the middle with Allen and Gerrard and push Coutinho up into the front three.

I'm nervous but confident about this game think we will win it 0-3 and close in on the title

Moses needs to stay the f**k away from the team.

Fill the midfield and dominate it by having Gerrard, Lucas Allen and Coutinho there. Suarez and Sterling up front should do well with the men behind them.

Mignolet

Johnson
Skrtel

Flanagan

Allen
Gerrard (c)
Lucas

Sterling

If you had to pick a team for the next match, Norwich would be probably be on the shortlist. They are fighting for their lives, but we are too, just at the other end. Think their game suits how we play ie. that we know we how to beat them.
If both Hendo and Studge out, would bring in Allen and Lucas. Unfortunately when you compare what the players coming in to those not available, one set has goals in it, the other doesn't. But we're lucky, cause Cout and Sterling have hit scoring form. And Luis is due a couple !  Given the way we've been playing lately, who would bet against either Allen or Lucas popping up with a goal unexpectedly on Sun
Cannot wait for the match. The supporter are buzzing, the players are pumped - no way they'll go out taking anything for granted, BR and SG will see to that. We're in a fantastic position, 4 games to go - let's go there confident, and roll out our usual attacking game.
Confident we'll win this, though not without a fight.   4-2 to the MIGHTY Reds

We go to Norwich and we do exactly the same!

Biggest game in 6 days. Wow this is gonna be a nervy one. Again, I dont feel comfortable about this one. On paper we should destroy them, and its been a few weeks since we have destroyed a team, but at this stage in the league every game is tough. Hit them fast and hard. 2 Early goals and they wont get off the deck, like some of our recent counterparts.

If Sunderland manage to get a result at the bridge this game will suddenly become the biggest game ever! Wait, it already is... you know what I mean!

Come on Borini, do us a favour and we will sneak you in a winners medal!

MUST WIN!

I would go with

Mignolet

Johnson
Skrtel
Sakho
Flanagan

Allen
Gerrard (c)
Lucas

Sterling
Suarez
Coutinho

Agree with the 433 but I would swap Coutinho with Lucas and replace Lucas with Aspas. Could be a great chance for Aspas to revel in. Would love to see it!

Don't want Moses anywhere near the starting XI on Sunday.

I kind of agree and it might be the most irrational thought I've ever had but I didn't even want him coming on the other day for those few minutes.

Nothing personal against the lad but I just don't have the impression he will give his all like the other lads will.

Moses could well start, especially considering he is not available for the Chelsea game.

Bloody hope not. The very thought of him starting make me can't help but picture the shocking Hull defeat for some reason.

My dad asked me what player I'd want to come to Liverpool from the premier league and I said only one for certain and it was Ross Barkley, odd considering who he plays for but he's the best young midfielder in the country and is worth a good amount of money as far as I'm concerned. I'm glad to see we're linked with him; if true.
Why are the fans always working out net spend and gross worth, the owners need to f***in stop being stingy little bas**rds full of excuses and apologies.
The owner bit isn't just about Barkley it's about backing our manager instead of hindering him.

Moses will start, i just know it... And if he does i'm backing him to score. Crazy sh*te happens at this stage of the season. I'm still waiting for Aspas to come on and score a winner in the 94th minute.

Score prediction for Norwich.

Norwich 1 - 2 Liverpool (Moses, Aspas)

Bloody hope not. The very thought of him starting make me can't help but picture the shocking Hull defeat for some reason.

Don't worry I think I am actually ahead of him for a starting position.

I'd probably go with this as my line up on Sunday

                        Mignolet
Johnson    Skrtel            Sakho        Flanno
                       Gerrard
            Allen                  Coutinho
Aspas                                        Sterling
                        Suarez

This is Suarez time to shine. Not because of his record against Norwich, but he will be desperate to get back on the goal trail and he relishes being the focal point of our attack.

I'll take any goal, any type of win. Let's just get over the line!!

3-0 for me, Luis with yet another hat-trick especially if Danny doesn't start.
Will be back home in Luxembourg for this one so big screen for viewing and Laptop for posting !

 I'd go with,

                        Mignolet

Johnson    Skrte     Sakho        Flanno

                       Gerrard
            Allen                  Lucas

      Coutinho                  Sterling
                        Suarez

Going to be a bit controversial and say that I would like to see this formation.

                                Mignolet

Johnson            Skrtel            Sakho             Flanno

                                 Gerrard
              Lucas                                  Allen

                     Sterling               Coutinho

                                  Suarez

What about playing Cou and Sterling behind Suarez? Is it too narrow? It would allow our full backs to get forward and Gerrard could tuck in alongside SAS (Skrtel and Sakho) while we attack. Both Sterling and Coutinho have excelled in these positions and I think, along with Suarez, they could cause so many problems.

I know people might think that there is no need to try out something new, but without Sturridge (if that's the case) it changes things a bit and I believe that this is the best formation to play.
