Leeds build-up thread

[dww]

I really hope one or more of Pacheco, Amoo and Eccelston get a game.

It would be good to see a few on the bench and then used as subs. I think there are other fringe players who are more likely to feature (like Voronin and Babel) who could use the game time. That said if Rafa feels any of those three are close to ready for the first team, along with Kelly and Ayala I would like them to have a bit of a run out.

Pacheco is the most likely of those to get game time as he's been at Melwood the longest

[The Birdman]

Not too bothered about the team as long as Gerrard and Torres don't start (they will both be sub in case we're losing) and personally I'd love to see Kelly, Pacheco and N'Gog start but with Rafa know one knows.

I think Ayala is ahead of Kelly in the young centre back pecking order

[dww]

Interesting. No Carragher, Torres or Gerrard.

[RedReet]

Anyone know how Leeds play under Grayson? Are they a physical side or do they like to play football?

Daniel Agger could be included in Liverpool's squad for Tuesday night's Carling Cup tie at Leeds.

The Denmark international has been out all season following a back operation, but returned to full training last week.

Liverpool are expected to make several changes from the side that won 3-2 at West Ham on Saturday, with full-back Fabio Aurelio standing by for his first start of the season after a knee problem.

[DannyMan2006]

Rafa himself said Agger was fine but would rather let him come back slowly. Maybe Leeds is the first step.

[Shaggy]

Blimey if Agger's ready for a game then get him in there.

Tbh i want to see some of the younger lads like Amoo or Ecclestone start the match, but this is rafa we are talking about. whoever he normally puts on the bench will start, and a few of the first teamers like lucas and skrtel will play as well. dont expect to see someone like amoo playing, rafa pays it slow when developing talent.

He tried kids against Burnley in his first season and was near chased out of the country for disgracing the FA cup.
