A 4-3 win last week in the carling cup with a starting x1 that was no were near our strongest. It took 99 matches but rafael benitex named an unchanged squad last night but i do feel he will rotate again this weekend. Some for injury worries, Alonso and Garcia although im not quite sure how there injuries are. And others for pure resting. Id like to see the same squad that appeared and won 3-0 last night and 3-1 saturday. Because i think these players are gaining confidence and we will need alot of that going in to the arsenal match in 11 days time. Gerrard breaking his goal drought yesterday could sign more goals from him soon which will be a massive boost because when gerrards playing well and scoring the team plays well. Garcia scored two yesterday and one on the weekend and i feel that he should keep his place on the left wing. Kuyt Crouch have built and excellent partnership, they were both unlucky not to score last night. an they both offer something diffrent.
My team
Reina
Finnan
Carragher
Hyypia
Riise
Gerrard
Sissoko
Alonso
Garcia
Crouch
Kuyt 3-0 Liverpool Gerrard, Kuyt,Crouch
Probable team
Reina
Finnan
Carragher
Hyypia
Riise
Pennant
Gerrard
Sissoko
Gonzales/Aurelio
Kuyt
Fowler

Based on recent performances we should storm this...... 10 goals in 3 games. We just need more composure than we had in the Cup game.
Hopefully the weekend will be a piece of pi$$.
2-0 (Kuyt, Garcia)
Please make it 4 wins in a row..... it'll lead us nicely into the ArseNil game.

i can't believe people are still trying to guess the team, i nearly crashed my wagon last night when i heard it was a unchanged squad
i waved the white flag on second guessing rafa and wish i,d taken a punt on rafa naming the same team with the bookies what were the odds
i will be happy if we keep lita quite and dominate the midfield with momo not getting booked as he is on 4 i think and we will have to rotate the squad to cover his defencive work if he gets a ban
speedy needs games like this where in theory we shouldn't be having to defend as much but how can anyone drop king luis or any of the lads after 2 good shows,
well i know a man that will to cover fatigue and tactics you all know he will do it another 99 time just to wind the media up again

I was in the boozer when I hear the team wa unchanged. Don't know why I got so excited about it but I did...
I can't see anything but a home win this week. Guessing on the team but if Alonso and Garcia are struggling then rest them up.
My team (assuming Alonso and Garcia are carrying knocks) is...
Reina
Finnan
Hyppia
Agger
Riise
Pennant
Gerrard
Sissoko
Gonzales
Bellamy
Fowler
That should be enough to beat Reading at home!
I think Carra is not firing on all cylinders at the moment but Sami is on fire.

rafa usually tries to keep the spine solid as the last 2 season shows, agger will play the 2 remaining champions league games and league and fa cup to blood him at all levels
is bellamy fit?
drop crouch and kuyt ?
fowler 90 mins ?

I've got to the point where I don't wanna second guess Rafa any more..... As far as I'm concerned, he is THE man and I'll go with whatever he picks, he could put Pepe in left midfield for me and I know he'd have a reason...... YNWA LFC.....

Same team, same scoreline, 3-0, Kuyt hatty.

If i had guts, i'd put money on Kuyt scoring a hat trick, in some bookies its 40/1 - mental
straight win for us 2 - 0 gerrard and crouch!

I think Rafa is playing with the media. I think he'll put out the same 11 for the next 99 games and then rotate again for 99 games.

Reading is a tricky side to play with.. And Rafa should not take this lightly though we are playing at home.. 2-0 as the scoreline is just nice, 4-0 is realistic for me.. Hahaha.. Cheers..

I have a favour to ask:
I will not be near a TV for the game, can anyone suggest a website that shows the game live?
One that is relatively simple to use, ie no need to sign up etc.
Much appreaciated if anyone has suggestions. Thx
