    LFC V BLACKBURN - Build up thread

    V



    Sunday 8th Mar 2015, KO: 16:00 GMT

    Live

    Liverpool continue their attempt for FA Cup glory with a quarter-final against Blackburn Rovers at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

    Victories over AFC Wimbledon, Bolton Wanderers and Crystal Palace have carried Brendan Rodgers' side into the competition's last eight.

    The Reds' last home meeting with Rovers was on Boxing Day 2011 - a 1-1 league draw.....

    Changes for this one I think. I know we have an 8 day break but the odd change at least reduces the risk of injury.

    I'd go something like:

    Mignolet

    Toure
    Skrtel
    Sakho (if fit)

    Johnson
    Allen
    Gerrard (if fit)
    Enrique (!)

    Lallana
    Markovic

    Balotelli
    Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

      Balotelli


      Enrique and Johnson covering for Gerrard's lack of match sharpness? I might as well start now "Allen is sh*t, can't fight his way out of a paper bag".

      Edit: I'd go:

      Mig
      Toure Skrtel Sakho/Lovren
      Manquillo Gerrard Allen Markovic
      Lallana Coutinho
      Sturridge

      Sturridge still needs match fitness, but no more than 60 minutes. Balotelli to replace him.

        The Enrique shout is a good one. He's part of our squad, on the payroll, and this is just the sort of game that he could put in a pretty good performance against a quite obviously lesser team.

        If he played for Blackburn, he'd be their best player.

        I actually think he's a good player too.

          Enrique down as knee injury no return date on Physio Room.

            I suspect we'll go strong for this game again, though Gerrard will probably start.

                I reckon Can will be rested and maybe Coutinho. Can see Toure/Johnson & Gerrard coming in. Balotelli will definitely get mins.

                  What a good looking thread. Five stars.

                  I agree with Dan. Can and Coutinho out with Johnson and Gerrard in.

                    I think Coutinho and Can would benefit from a break from this one, probably best as options from the bench.

                    GK- Mignolet
                    CB- Toure
                    CB- Skrtel
                    CB- Lovren
                    RWB- Markovic
                    CM- Gerrard
                    CM- Allen
                    LWB- Johnson
                    AM- Sterling
                    AM- Lallana
                    ST- Sturridge

                    Possibly a tweak of the front 3 with Sturridge drifting wider and Balotelli in for Lallana.

                      There's 8 days with no games after this- I don't think we'll see anybody rested for it.

                        I wouldn't let Enrique anywhere near our match day squad, let alone the first team!

                        I'd pick a very strong team. Something like:

                        Mignolet
                        Can - Skrtel - Sakho
                        Markovic - Allen - Henderson - Moreno
                        Lallana - Coutinho
                        Balotelli

                          Time for a Sturridge / Balotelli trial?

                          Mignolet
                          Can - Skrtel - Sakho
                          Markovic - Allen - Henderson - Moreno
                          Lallana
                          Sturridge - Balotelli
                          I saw a dead fish on the pavement and thought "what did you expect?"

                            Sturridge - Balotelli
                            Yep, looks good to me.

                            Coutinho and Sterling on the bench just in case they're needed. Perhaps bring in Kolo for Can (perhaps moving Can into midfield even).

                            This really is the strongest squad that we've had in a long time. Options.
