I think we will be without the services of Torres, due to his injury of yesterday playing for Spain, therefore, Benitez will opted to use his babe in Kuyt as a lonely striker, { I just read that Kuyt saying that it is time for him to score some goals} and I think just enough excuse to justfy his selecation by Benitez,  and he will drop Crouch once again, because he played yesterday for England, another Benitez babe will be restored that is Kewell for another stroll in park!!!!.

I really expect him to select another negaitive team hoping to stop Chelsea, rather than going at them. ???

Dude....you are more pessimistic than me  :p .....

I think rafa might pick a more attacking team as we are already out of the title race and he has nothing to lose.... He will now be concentrating on the inter-milan game (rightly so).

so we know for sure there is not Arbeloa, Voronin, Aurelio, Agger, Torres, or Alonso  I have also heard that Babel and Lucas recieved knocks and that it is unclear how serious those are, and mascherano wont return from south america till Friday so he could be too jet lagged or could suffer a knock today.  Worst case scenario the team looks like:
                                   Reina
   Finnan           Carra                Hyypia      Riise
  Pennant          Gerrard           Yossi       Kewell
                        Kuyt            Crouch
Subs: Itandje, Skrtel, El Zhar, Spearing, Nemeth

I do think Lucas and Babel will  play though

Let's face it our form of late has been bloody awful. Moral is at a low ebb, confidence is non-existant. Against Sunderland we huffed and puffed with no real bite until by chance we scored from an unlikely source, well in fact two unlikely sources: 1. Carragher, beating a man and putting in a superb cross. 2. A meaningful Crouch header, something as rare as hens teeth. Can we expect the unexpected two games on the run ? I doubt it.
We do not have a settled team, far too much rotation, no time to plan and prepare with the majority of players being away this week. Probabaly have key players returning with injury.
There is certainly unrest in the camp. If Rafa is falling out with trusted lieutenants like Alonso then we are in the sh1t !
Sorry, but I can not see any positives going forward into this game, for me I hope London get's three feet of snow on Sunday morning and the game gets called off so that we can save ourselves for Barnsley and more importantly Inter Milan.

Probabaly have key players returning with injury.

Lets not bother turning up hey, might aswell just give them the 3 points now. FFS.
There is no-one anywhere in the world at any stage who is any bigger or any better than this football club.

We need to score first. If they score first then they will not sit back like they did under Jose. If we score first we have a chance. It would be great to beat them and take away that home record.

Raffa is fuming

Mascherano, who will miss the start of next season if called up for the Olympics, will only land in Manchester today before heading for Melwood.

“Javier will come back to Manchester and will arrive here on Friday,” said Benitez. “Why do they have to play in Los Angeles? Just money.

“We were checking the rules to see if we cold prevent him from going, but we couldn’t do anything. It’s an extra frustration.”

Its going to be an interesting game to see how Rafa sets up.  Its long overdue for Kuyt to score although I think its time to play Babel up front with Crouch. My head tells me they'll win but my heart says we'll win, Im a hopeless romantic so it 2-1 Liverpool

Not sure if they but if they are it could be a blessing in disguise because if they go straight into the team they are bound to be wreaked.

No Drogba and Kalou are playing in the 3rd and 4th place play off for African nations cup on Saturday too late to get back in time even if they were'nt knackered.

Surely we cant be too far wrong with the following line up:


                       Reina

   Finnan       JC        Hyypia       Riise


Pennant      Gerrard    Masch        Kewell

             
                  Kuyt  Crouch

Think he may add lucas or benayoun in somewhere but we will see.

No reason why we still cant take atleast a point with that team.

Think this team may do it........

                   Reina
  Finnan   Carra   Hyppia  Riise
  Pennant   Gerrard  Mash  Kewell
      Benayoun
                         Crouch

Think we will lose 1-0......... But if kewell turns it up...he can carry us to a win.

He's pretty p!ssed off.  I wonder who's going to play in the middle with Gerrard?
