Yeah i know he is playing well but Gerrard need a rest, some big games coming up

Not exactly confident, I'm still having nighmaters after the Burnley game. We've put in some poor performances last season [against Soton, Birmingham, Palace,etc..] but Burnley was the worst.

We did have some youngsters, but no execuse for that kind of performance. I don't think we had a shot on target let a lone a chance of scoring.

I hope that Traore doesn't play against Luton.

Luton Manager Newell (former Liverpool player) had vouched to win against Liverpool or at least draw and come to Anfield. Its going to be a very tight match. Luton had not lost on last 4 Liverpool's visit to Kenilworth Road.

I am very sure Rafa will play a serious squad with some good young players to gain experience. Full throtle.

Carson
Finnan
Carrager
Baragan
Warnock
Riise
Garcia
Hamman
Gerrard
Crouch
Ciise

Sub

Mellor
(as he ahs recovered from his injury and played for the reserve squad recently, so he will have 5 minutes or so)

Kewell
( he has been Rafa's choice of the month, so I dont expect him to be left out)

Sissoko/Alonso
(To come in and seal the score)

Lets give JC, Sami, Stevie G, Alonso and Crouch a well-earned rest.

Go for:

Carson

Kromkamp (If possible) New CB/Roque Hobbs Warnock

Hamann
Sissoko Riise

Garcia Kewell

Mori/Cisse.

I know some of you will bemoan the defence, but this team is easily stronger than anything Luton can throw at us, and at the end of the day the FA cup is our lowest priority this season.

I'd think about putting Sissoko in the middle and giving Barragan a run on the right if his injury has cleared up yet.

Luton have concede 39 goals this season so far with 11 in the last seven matches. A good opportunity to bag a hatful!

does any of u think that maybe Paul Anderson will be included in the squad tommorow?

by **MilitiaRusher** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 11:28 am

My starting eleven for tmrw:

Carson

Kromkamp Carragher Traore Warnock

Garcia Sissoko Hamann Kewell

Cisse Pongolle

SUBS: Reina, Gerrard, Alonso, Crouch, Riise.

Play the best 11, because Luton will not make it easy for us. They will surely be fired-up and will fight for every ball like hungry terriers.

During Kenny's time as manager, we used to hate getting there as they have an awful astroturf pitch which Liverpool simply hated playing on. We lost 3-0 in 1986/87 in an FA Cup tie when we went there as holders.

Totally agree with Derjimi at CB, giving Hyypia a rest.
Gerrard could do with a rest too.

I'd be happy with this team.

No, players have earned and deserved a break at this stage of the season especially after the xmas period of games, we have some really big games coming up

cant help thinking this is a potential banana skin waiting to happen,i hope major lessons have been learned from last season.I would play our strongest team for the first half in the hope of getting a couple of goals then make changed there after.

He was at Liverpool when he was 16 but didn't get kept on.
Went to my old school. As did Sammy Lee.
Now there's a bit of useless info.
