Gerrard with the goal for us, couldn't give a toss about their scorer.

I still see us dropping this 4-2-3-1 formation though, I think it's more likely to be 4-1-4-1. With Kuyt down the right, Riise down the left, Gerrard and Lucas in the middle with Mascheranho just in front of the back four of Arbeloa, Carra, Hyypia and Aurellio. Torres up front on his own. Defensive minded but I couldn't care less as long as we go through.

We're off to Moscow in a couple of months time (with a Premiership title under our belt )

Appreciate the sentiment but Hyypia instead of Skrtel and Lucas alongside Mascherano worries me.

Why? Hyppia is still up for it and lucas played with mascha in the first leg (or did everyone forget that?)

Don't want to knock Sammi, his performances this season have been beyond expectations, but Skrtel looks to be settling in and playing well , I'm concerned that at some stage Sammi will get done for pace, sod's law he'll play and score from a corner , in which case I'll look like a mug , but an extremely happy mug. 

As for Lucas, I'm far from convinced . Yeah , the fella has loads of potential and of course with Alonso out Rafa's options may be limited, but Lucas just still seems to be a bit lightweight (imo), and to answer your question ,

lucas played with mascha in the first leg (or did everyone forget that?)

yeah I forgot, thats how much of an impression he made on me.

The tie would be more or less put to bed there and then and I could relax a bit more and let my nails grow a bit

I think that would be worse Dundalk, the lads themselves would sit back and invite more pressure onto us. The longer it's 0-0 the better for us IMO.

I think I'm right in thinking the away goal on comes into affect after extra time? Well if it does, it'll give them 85 minutes to get the three goals back (possible as Liverpool know) and then they're flying high for those 30 mins of extra time to score just one.

No I think it's better that it stays 0-0 for as long as possible.

Right, it's better that we don't score early because for them, having to score four is easier to overturn than just two.

“We were considering different options because maybe we have some players that they cannot cope with or manage,” said Benitez.

“We will analyze how the team does in the training session tonight and then we will see. We know that we cannot defend for a long time against a good team so we need to attack and score if that is possible.

“I have a lot of confidence we can go forward so my idea is to prepare properly and to win.” he added.

“I think that we know Torres is on fire and his understanding with Gerrard is good, the team is playing well now so we have confidence and we know that at the end of the day you need to score and Torres can be the key man for us.”
