This young man

[MrMichael]

Liverpool FC is all about winning trophys. We have a fantastic chance to progress in the CL and could go on to win it. That would be massive. We have a 5 point gap in the league so we can use that cushion this weekend. We can afford to lose tomorrow and tire arsenal out because Tuesday is 10 times more important. Finishing 4th and Winning the CL is always better than just 3rd in League.

Amen to that

It'll be interesting to see how Rafa plays it tomorrow, especially with the spanking the Arsenal reserves dished out last year.

Retribution, or patience?

[MrMichael]

I'm quite looking forward to this one. Won't be stressed if it doesn't go so well, as long as we make them work for it, but the first team's been very settled recently and it'll be good to see how a few of the backup players we haven't seen much of for a while can respond to the challenge. Even more so if a Plessis or Insua gets a run out.

To be fair Sissoko was compared to Vieira.

So was Salif Diao

[Neil Young]

Never seen Plessis play ? Is he any good guys ? Well I guess he must be if Rafa calls him for tomorrow !!

I want to see Nemeth given a run instead of Voronin.

If you haven't seen Plessis play, have you seen Nemeth? Or is this simply a comment on Voronin?

[AFII]

Well, Nemeth can't possibly do any worse than Voronin to be fair. I'm happy if Plessis will play. The youngsters need to get a chance to show that they are worth a place in the squad.

I don't agree with that but there is another issue you're overlooking - playing Nemeth might not do any harm to the team but it might harm him to make his debut against title-chasing Arsenal. Has he even been on the bench yet?

I think the young players need to get their chances but I'm not in a good position to judge whether now would be the right time.

And to fair prior to the eye injury he lived up to it.

Not sure he ever did technically. He was more athletic and arguably a more impressive tackler but he never have Vieira's talent on the ball. I like Sissoko but that particular comparison was always flawed in the sense that Momo was much more one dimensional.

You should leave such decisions to experts like AFII.
