[Philosophia]

I guess we've seen Riise in Liverpool red for the last time. Even though his form has been terrible of late, he always worked hard and I, for one, wish him well.

Crouch & Riise are off.

Why not play some of the kids from the reserves?

What's Torres got to prove? Ditto Stevie G, Masher et al.

we are wearing the new shirt today

rafa says he wants to finish the season with some style. torres only needs 1 more goal to beat van nistelroy's record for goals scored in a debut season. that and the fact its the last home game, give the fans a chance to say thanks/goodbye to the players at anfield. you'll see some big chanmges for the meaningless last game away to spurs im sure.

Perhaps Rafa wants to win our last home game to make the fans happier? I don't know. More experience for Lucas and Babel, game for Insua. Not all bad. Should be an interesting summer if Crouch/Pennant/Riise are off

Agreed.

And I think it's been mentioned that the reserves have a big match in the next few days so the kids will be needed for that. Hopefully we'll see Nemeth and a few others next week.

It's always nice to put out a strong side for the last home game of the season and finish on a high.

Can't for the life of me understand what Voronin has left to offer, why not have Nemeth in there and bring him on for 10/15 minutes at the end?

Delighted to see Insua get a start.

The fact that Voronin continues to get into match day sixteens may indicate that Rafa feels he has a role to play next season.

Hppefully not though.

Dissapointed Crouch isn't starting alongside Torres

Should have been 442

can someone explain to me why half the people on est want to see liverpool play a 442 formation? when we have played 442 this year we haven't exactly looked threatening or won a great deal of games from what i can remember. yet since rafa has reverted to his preferred 4231 formation we have step up a gear, won a considerable amount of games and looked more threatening/comfortable. IMO 4231 is the way to go in the future or if we need to 433.
