Arsenal build up

[Captain Stu]

I doubt it, I fully expect Skrtel & Agger to start at the back.

I think it'll be Agger and Carragher, Johnson and Wisdom at full-back.

[Shaggy]

Didn't realise with a win and we're on the same points as Arsenal, we really have to get something from this game.

It's massive. 3 points would be massive. I don't believe for a minute we can achieve 4th but a win here would be huge.

[RichC]

It's still there though, I don't think we'll do it but if we can get something from them it will be a massive boost.

[Boogs]

Christ I hope not. Jones needs to be well away from the first team.

Rush keepers FTW

[G]

Today's line up Defo points to Carra starting. He was always picked for cup games until now.

Rodgers vocal about our lack of presence at the back and today neither Skrtel nor Coates will have convinced him they have it.

[spider-neil]

i think after today's performance he might have changed his mind

Coutinho (to his agent) - 'Still got Southampton's number?'

[SB]

Also it'll be a different 11 lining up which will be used to playing together.

Hoping to see


......................Reina....................... ......
Wisdom.....Skrtel.......Agger...........Johnson
......................Lucas....................... ......
..............Gerrad......Henderson............... ..
......Sterling.....................Suarez......... ...
....................Sturridge..................... ....

Leaves us - Carra, Allen, Downing, Robinson, Borini, Jones & Shelvey on the bench.

Downing in for Sterling IMO

[RichC]

I went for Sterling as every time I see Downing in a big game he goes missing.

I would worry about Walcott running at/past Carra on a regular basis unless we are going 3 at the back.

And Sterling has hardly been in scintillating form has he. Plus he started last night so he should be benched

[SB]

You've just given me nightmares

[BigChief]

I would worry about Walcott running at/past Carra on a regular basis unless we are going 3 at the back.

Carra will at least use his intelligence to do what it takes to stop Walcott. Its Theo running past Skrtel/Agger time and again that worries me.

[Exiled_red]

I really hope Allen doesn't play, in recent games that he has started we've been completely over run in midfield.

[Alex]

Im going to this

[Captain Stu]

I went for Sterling as every time I see Downing in a big game he goes missing.

Yup.

Sterling is in some bad form at the moment (as expected) but I prefer his direct approach to Downing getting the ball and disappearing up his sphincter.
