Your starting X1 vs Stoke please

[The_weatherman]

Benitez will toy with the idea of resting Torres for the visit of Stoke with the striker still not 100 percent following his hamstring injury.

But it is more likely that he will miss the Carling Cup game against League One Crewe

Perfectly understandable IMO, Gerrard behind Keane with Kuyt and Babel/Riera on the flanks should do the job, if Rafa rests Torres we have good enough players not to use that as an excuse.

here we go...


........................reina..................... ...

degen........hyypia.........agger........dossena.. ..


benny......alonso........gerrard........riera..... ...


..............keane.........babel................. .......


no point starting torres but id give him half an hour towards the end of the game. masher looked really tired against marseille after the utd game and i think sami and agger will both do well aerially against stokes bigger players.

time to start degen and get him going forward.
