Where's Dan ?

[Greebo]

Off to Milan?

[Resu]

Strange team.
No Agger at all (Italy?)
. Both Keane and Torres on the bench.
But it should do the job

[anfieldanfield]

He's not even on the bench, must have picked up a knock.

[Mystery]

Off to Milan?

Still haven't heard about rotation, have we?

Got to admit it's odd that Plessis, Dossena and El Zhar are in the bench but Agger isn't.

[Assassin]

Agger out, Torres and Keane on the bench..........interesting

[Resu]

Still haven't heard about rotation, have we?

Only Dossena as defensive cover is strange, rotation or not.
But Rafa moves in mystertious ways

[Angry Dan]

I am shocked by the team selection.

3 of our 4 strongest attackers on the bench against a team that will be hard to breakdown.

Nothing wrong with bringing them all on later......this is FACT

Oh, I've heard of it, but fielding a subs bench without a back-up centre half doesnt imply rotation. Its not as if Dossena or Aurelio could swith to RB to bring Carra into the middle.

Maybe its a hint to DAgger that he needs to decide where he wants to be ASAP, or maybe he really is off to pastures new... hope not as I think the boy is superb, but if he wont sign a new contract then maybe we have to let him go.

3 of our 4 strongest attackers? Other than Torres who we don't want to rush back from injury, I don't think there are better players on the bench than we've got on the field.

Benayoun has been great lately, Riera has been very good this season, Gerrard is Gerrard, so the only question is wheter Keane is better than Kuyt up front as a lone striker.

Ok line-up me think

[anfieldanfield]

Most expensive subs bench we have ever had ? Sixty million ?

[JohnDoe]

Another strange line up. Then again, it was against Newcastle too.

Agger
