Blackburn v Liverpool Buildup Thread

[dww]

Four defenders on the bench (plus a keeper obviously) including two left backs

Aurelio is covering CM

No Sterling. I don't see what damage is going to be done by putting him on the bench. There really is no need to have four defenders on the bench.

When we go one down we will need to shore things up bit with a few more defenders

[Gibbo]

At least let Sterling sit on the bench for ****s sake.

It's more baffling than the treatment of Maxi

Bench - Jones, Enrique, Agger, Kuyt, Suarez, Carra, Aurilio

The ****s the point of Fabio being on there.

If you cant put some yoof on the bench with a cup final in 4 days and nothing to play for in the league, will the ever get a chance?

Madness, they never let him down last year.....Obviously he feels the natices are restless and needs a win.

[Phoenix07]

Maybe Sterling's injured?

[Shaggy]

Why would Sterling not be in the reserves and not in the match day squad? Injury?

Haha ....it must be that. Has to be.

[Fredo]

Sack Kenny

[S-RED]

Maybe Sterling's injured?

dont let logic, get in the way of a reason to moan

[Gibbo]

Nothing on the website, pretty sure for all its flaws someone would have pointed that out on Twitter, people seem generally surprised he's not in the squad.

watch him move to a club like spuds or arse and we will curse the managements ineptitude and poor handling of this kid and others for years to come

Getting in the mood watching ESPN classics showing 1-4 win at old trafford in 2009...

Carragher and Downing rested for Saturday

Carragher and Downing rested for Saturday

Surely with Agger back it'll be him and Skrtel at the weekend. In fact with Johnson fit again we can play the settled back four that performed pretty well not that long ago.

Playing Carra would be a disaster on a huge wembley pitch, can see him starting though unfortunately.
