Liverpool v Marseille match thread

[livvy145]

Reina

Arbeloa
Carragher
Agger
Aurelio

Mascherano
Alonso

Kuyt
Gerrard
Riera

Torres

Subs: Cavalieri, Dossena, Benayoun, Lucas, Babel, Keane, Kelly.

[Shaggy]

Got 10 out of the 11 starters. Personally I'd give Riera a rest and Babel a much-needed run out. Ah well.

[JPK]

Our strongest line up bar Skrtel maybe. I'm very confident. Fair play to Martin Kelly too for making the bench.

[Reece]

As would I Shaggy. Nevermind, bring on the French

[Shaggy]

Yep great to see Martin Kelly on the bench.

[Pablo]

Perhaps Babel might have got a start had he not mouthed off so much lately? I actually think Keane will come on to replace Gerrard and Babel to replace Torres before the end, hence Babel being kept on the bench from the off.

Great team, no excuses not to get the win tonight.

[jonymadness]

That's the team we should see all the time. Keane had to be dropped, if Albert isnt doing the bizz then get Babel on, he looked really good for the Dutch last week.

[JohnDoe]

That's our best team.

[Gazmo1]

Looking forward to this! Come on people in Red.

[Shaggy]

Aaarrrrgggghh!

I'm supposed to be boycotting Sky's punditry but have it on tonight. Why do I bother?!

They are still bleating on about Gerrard's best position.

Keys: "He plays centrally tonight. Has Gerrard finally won the battle with Benitez?"

Cue lots of patronising crap about Benitez "finally getting the message that he's wasted on the right".

Shreeves to Rafa: "You're at home yet you've picked two defensive midfielders, can you explain that?"

Rafa explains that we have four attacking players plus Alonso who is offensively-minded, and that it's a system we've played countless times.

Shreeves: "But you're playing TWO holding players - is that not defensive?"

[Gazmo1]

There is a big discussion on Danish TV at the moment between Jan Molby, Brian Landrup and the fat goal keeper. Apparently Rafa will be replaced by Guus Hiddink because the time is right for Rafa to go to Real.

Did I miss something?

what was that on? thought coverage started at 730?

[Woobus]

Anyone found a good stream yet?

[Sarb]

At last Keane dropped

[Gazmo1]

Teams out, we look up for it and Reina looks like Brucie.
