    Reading FA cup replay build up

    Does anyone know if anyone has regained fitness since our last game?

    Finally...was beginning to wonder if we were to caught up wif the " Will Maxi ever come to Anfield " question, that we somehow totally forgot abt the Reading replay.

    Hope Rafa fields our best 11 or close to our best 11...Its abt time we start showing some consistency and get the team playing together again wif loads of confidence...

      I want to see the first choice defence (by which I mean first choice when Johnson is out as he will be for a while) and Torres. Other than that I think we should be able to win with any team and there are as many reasons to play one player as any other. The issue of Mascherano's suspension also has an impact on the idea of selecting a steady 'best XI' I would think.

        Kelly and Darby are out aren't they? Sod it, stick Kuyt there, best right back in the league by a country mile. Probably

        Reina

        Kuyt Carra Agger Insua

        Benny Lucas Gerrard Riera

        Torres N'Gog

          given it was a while since our last game we need the first 11 to get some game time, I would also be looking to get players returning from injury some mins in this particular match given we are now looking at 3 games in 7 days and will need to start using our squad

            Kelly is injured according to the premier league fantasy football. I've seen nothing about Darby being injured, surely he's not suspended? I really hope we don't put Carragher there - not that I don't like him there I just want as settled a back line as we can play.

              Anyone know what the problem with Kelly is? We haven't seen him since the injury he got playing a blinder in the CL. Real shame that he got injured, I would have been keen to see how he got on with a few run outs. Looked very promising in the games he has played this season

                It's an ankle injuryand the best I can dig up is that he is expected back at the end of the month:



                I thought I remembered a Rafa interview where he said he was back in light training but I can't find it.

                  We should walk this. The performance in the first leg was abysmal and they must make up for it. Well rested and on home turf, we should score 3 or 4. Us to score 3+ goals is just over evens. Not letting that go

                    Actually yeah, I don't know where I had the notion that Darby was injured. He should absolutely get the nod. Agree with Carra staying put

                      I think we'll have to put our best 11 out for this, not just because it's a replay but because it's been a awhile since we've had a game, hopefully they'll be raring to go.

                      I'd expect:

                      Reina
                      Darby Carragher Agger Insua
                      Kuyt Aquilani Lucas Riera
                      Gerrard
                      Torres
                      The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                        Will Riera be fit?
