I don't like two holding midfielders. We did it all last season and it was a disaster, and it's not exactly been good this season either. Perhaps though we are about to see Lucas released from his defensive duties a bit and asked to push on. On a couple of occasions this season I've noticed Roy jumping up from the bench to urge one of the midfielders forward (he doesn't sit down all game, yet another untruth that is), and it's my guess that it is THIS aspect of team play above all others which is still some way from clicking. Even Gerrard when in central midfield sits in all the time, and I can only think it's a case of hard habits to break.

I hope I'm right, and Poulsen does the sitting in and Lucas bombs on.

2 DMs is actually quite normal for an away game in Europe. From what i know of Utrecht, they are a very good side and no doubt we'll be looking to stifle them first and foremost. Probably not what people want to hear though. A draw would be a good result.

lfc globe has this:

Starting: Reina; Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Kelly; Poulsen, Lucas; Kuyt, Meireles, Cole; Torres.

Subs: Jones, Kyrgiakos, Rodriguez, Jovanovic, Ngog, Babel, Shelvey (not yet confirmed).

Can't see that happening at all.. Lucas and poulsen always play deep in our half and rarely go forward.. If he has informed lucas to make forward runs then it will be a good thing but just doubt it!

2 DM is always a disaster unless your playing for a draw.

If Merieles is played out wide that is an utter waste of his skills .
