Odd line up, how are the front 4 geoing to line up?

[ronniedrew]

bollox , i was sure torres would start

[Rishi73]

4-4-2 with Kuyt and Keane upfront.

[JohnDoe]

Knew it. Both Gerrard and Torres on the bench.

Where on earth is Dan Agger ?

Babel must be absolutely gutted.

[fowlen]

All players in their preferred position! That's refreshing.

I was hoping that Torres and Stevie would be named in starting XI, but at least they're on the bench- rather save them if they're not needed!

C'mon you reds

[JohnDoe]

The purpose of this team is to hold on to a 0-0 after an hour and bring on Gerrard and Torres to try to win the game.

Benayoun and Keane will come off.

Did Gerrard just go in Shaking hands in the Manc dressing room with Keane behind him?
If so **** off the pair of ye

[Parm]

hmm interesting, would have gone for babel instead of Yossi but hey.

[blacky]

---------Pepe-----
Arb--Carra--Skrtl--Aur
----Xabi----Masch---
Benni---Keane---Riera
--------Kuyt--------

[Scratch]

Could also be the 4-2-3-1, with the three being Kuyt-Benni-Riera behind the front man of Keane??

[ronniedrew]

manu have tevez , berba and rooney on

[Exiled_red]

I would have liked to have seen Babel in for Benayoun

I guess at least everyone is fit and he's not gambling on Torres or Gerrard which if they aren't really fit could effectively reduce us to 10 men.

Scum have quite an attacking lineup with 3 strikers so it's important that we dominate midfield

Yep, seen that, **** that the game is getting to "friendly"
