Udinese match thread

Borini must feel under pressure to put in a performance. Hope he does.

[Darkon]

In a way it'll be like seeing Borini for the first time for the rest of us, as he's been ineffective out wide and clearly his best position is through the middle. Should be interesting to see him against his countrymen.

Think he could thrive against a team he knows

[DannyMan2006]

Happy with that team. Including Downing. Up to him to win his place back. I like players having to fight tooth & nail for their place.

Right to rest likes of Wisdom, Sterling & Suso. Don't want them to be over worked at this early stage.

It goes without saying that if you're gonna be a successful professional footballer, you have to put the performances in when you are under pressure.

Gary Mac on Setanta

Stronger Line Up and Bench then I expected. I'm guessing here Brendan is thinking win this and less pressure for next 4 games and a very good chance to qualify very quickly. Min target 10 to get through.

Gary Mac on Setanta

Decent point from Mac about Reina...............thinks Rodgers would have given Pepe the 'option' of playing tonight when you might have expected him on the bench, and Reina being Reina wants the Anfield European night to 'big' himself up and get some form back.

Big Guns Wisdom and Suso getting rested? Well I never..

Yeh I know. Gotta be worried about the senior players tonight with all the kids being rested. I bet they'll be nervous.

Apart from Downing I like that team. Guess this is a case of giving him some rope to hang himself with.

I feel much the same, like the shape. Also affords us a really strong bench. It's not CL, but for once I actually am quite keen.

[Kenneth]

Very nice run from Borini into space.

[Zapater]

I don't think I've seen any players crosses hit the first defenders legs than Downing's. It's almost like he tries to do it.

[Alex]

Why do I have to listen to Andy ****ing Townsend.

Europa League was fantastic last season because of Athletic Bilbao. Maybe, just maybe we can have a similar kind of impact.

Put some tunes on
