Pre Match - Bolton v Liverpool Weds 4th Feb 7:45 KO

I'm more worried about tomorrow night, and the prospect of starting with a weakened side, than I am about the bitters at the weekend.

Anyone think that Stevie will get a rest and get his 700th against Everton at the weekend? I kind of do.

                          Mignolet

                Skrtel     Can      Lovren

        Manquillo  Lucas Henderson  Enrique

                 Lallana Balotelli Allen



Mind you, this is just what I predict the lineup to be, not necessarily what I want it to be.

Jesus FL.

Allen in a front three?

More like Balo up front and Allen and Lallana behind him with Lallana filling Coutinho's role and Allen providing extra defensive cover.

Think BR is going to go super defensive at the start and try to rest his playmakers (Coutinho and Sterling) for Everton.

Hopefully Stevie is rested for this. Get that hamstring on the mend and put in a shift vs Everton.

Id hate to see him aggrevate his hammy and put him out for a lengthy period with only a few months left of his career here.

Mignolet; Can, Skrtel, Sakho; Markovic, Lucas, Henderson, Moreno; Coutinho, Lallana, Sterling.

Wouldn't change a thing for this one. Most of our lads are young so 3 games in a week shouldn't be an issue. Bring Stevie back in for the derby.

I agree.

Strongest possible team for me.

Yep, I would like to see this too. Gerrard is a beast vs Everton. He needs to start on Saturday if fit. No way would I risk him vs Bolton.

Also, perhaps rest Coutinho? he's played in every game since November?

I'm the opposite.

Stevie isn't in what I think is our best 11 so I'd play him tonight and not at the weekend.

I think they'll make a game of it...2-3 I reckon...

Same for me, but vs Everton, Gerrard seems to always step up another gear.

Not having a dig here Si but what would you consider to be more important game, considering Stevie's last few months with us ?

They seem to have quite a few injuries so wont be at full strength.

They are all important games are they not Billy? Brendan can't afford to get sentimental over Stevie and he won't. Just an opinion like.

Appreciate that mate, just wondered if it would be better to keep Stevie back for the bitters rather than risk further damage to his Ham, IMO the bitters match is more important as far as final league position is concerned, the Bolton match although is as important is his last chance to play at Anfield south,

I'd play a strong side to ensure being in the pot next round, and if fit enough have Stevie on the bench.


YNWA

Not really bothered who plays as long as we get the win.

Is it on telly anywhere?

Hope it's single malt your suppin mate and not that cooking variety from the optics such as Bells or Teachers.
