I’d like to see Coates preferred over Carragher for the rest of the season. He has hardly featured and the more he plays the better. And let’s give Henderson a chance to prove he can take on the responsibility of playing in the middle and play with the discipline required. Shelvey made an impact at Blackpool playing as a right sided forward in a 4-3-3 so I’m sure he wouldn’t have a problem adjusting to a similar role in our system. Gerrard has played a couple of games in a short space of time so I think we should start him on the bench to protect him from further injury.
These 9 games could be very useful if we give those that haven’t featured must a chance to stake a claim for next season.

Invest in next season yet start Maxi and Kuyt who are prob the favourites to leave during the summer ??
Also Shelvey played behind a striker for Blackpool and Kelly is prob out injured .

By picking out Kuyt and Maxi, I can see you are indirectly supporting Carroll and Downing, as there are not really any other options in those positions. I guess it’s a case of whether you believe they have a chance of being a success here. I don’t, and believe they will both be sold to less ambition clubs than ours before their contracts are up for less than half what we paid for them. So keeping in mind the lack of option upfront and on left hand side of midfield, and the fact I see no long term future for either Carroll or Downing, its safe for you to assume that I believe Kuyt and Maxi are better players and will serve us better in this match.
On your second point, Blackpool played a 4-3-3 when they were in the premiership and they still do. They don’t actually play 1 player directly behind the striker. Shelvey played as right sided forward with the license to drift, which is generally the case when you play a 4-3-3.
And Kelly is more likely to play than not: http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-n ... ury-update
