West Ham build up

[SB]

I'm wondering how much rotation Rafa will do with the Europa league match on his mind. Torres is out for this one, no doubt, so who will lead the line? Insua to be recalled? Maxi must play as he's ineligable for Europe, so who will start?

I'd go for
Pepe
Johnson
Carra
Greek
Insua
Babel
Masher
Lucas
Maxi
Yossi
N'Gog

Subs
Pacheco
Agger
Kuyt
Gerrard
Keeper
?????

With Torres out I think we should go with two up front which means Kuyt and Ngog. I can't see Gerrard being dropped either so he'll drop back into centre mid alongside one of Lucas or Mascherano (Normally I'd say Mascherano but I have a feeling he may be rested). Babel and Maxi in the wide areas, hopefully Pacheco can get a decent run out from the bench too.

Another depressing prospect.

I forgot about Aqua. Do you think he may get a run, or is he injured again?

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres could have played his last game of the season for Liverpool after being forced to undergo another scan on his injured knee. (Daily Star)

Like I said I'd like to see us go with 2 up top, but I think your formation is probably more likely but with one of Mascherano/Lucas and Gerrard in the centre with Aquilani off the striker (or vice versa for Gerrard and Aquilani)

I totally agree that we should go with 2 strikers as we do not have anyone fit who is capable of playing the lone striker role. Unfortunately, the birthday boy doesn't seem to agree.

What a pointless game

What it he's played his last game ever for Liverpool? It's a slim possibility this summer, if we ignored the possibility we'd be digging our heads in the sand.

I have already slit my wrists in advance. It's been nice knowing you guys.

Brilliant isn't it. I was going to change it, then I looked at it again and couldn't bring myself to ditch it.

Hang onto it mate. He is the only player we have who would try something as audacious as that

Dont see it as a pointless game at all. We could be going into this with Spurs and City both having lost on Saturday, and with hard games to follow the week after.

2 wins in a row for us against WHU and Burnley and 2 consecutive losses for Spurs (vs Chelsea and United) and City (vs United and Arsenal) and suddenly things look a bit interesting and their arses will start to squeak.
