Sorry if this has been done, I haven't seen a thread on it yet.
So here is where you say who should or shouldn't be starting tomorrow, considering our injuries and suspensions.

I would play something like:

Dudek
Finnan Carragher Hyypia Riise
Garcia Hamann Biscan Kewell
Le Tallec
Baros

Smicer or John Welsh in the centre of midfield for a crunch champions league tie...hmm.
At least Biscan played well against Deportivo, it's slightly less of a risk to throw him in.

I agree with that team. But I would THINK about putting in Welsh for Biscan. I just think he could provide us with that bit of energy in central midfield, I think he would really relish the chance, he is one of our best youngsters and is desperate to make the breakthrough, add to that that he is an unknown quantity to them.

Anyway Biscan is leaving in the summer, and I don't think many people will try to argue that Biscan is a better player.

It's just a thought.

Liverpool v Bayer Leverkusen - Key battles

Feb 22 2005

Phil Barnett assesses where the game tonight will be won and lost

Daily Post

Sami Hyypia v Dimiter Berbatov
Having scored three goals in the competition so far this season in one of the least creative sides involved, Berbatov is a striker Hyypia and company must be careful not to under-estimate.

Useful at set-pieces and with a keen eye for goal, the 23-year-old Bulgarian sent shockwaves around the Bernabeu stadium by putting Leverkusen 1-0 up in their group-stage meeting in November before Raul's equaliser in the second half.

Dietmar Hamann v Bernd Schneider
An all-German showdown in midfield could be key to the outcome of the match. Schneider has firmly established himself as Leverkusen's main man with his combative yet creative style.

His Champions League performances so far this term have been influential as Leverkusen beat Real Madrid, Roma and Dynamo Kiev to top spot in the 'group of death'. Schneider is the man charged with making things happen for Klaus Augenthaler's side and links up with Berbatov to good effect.

A lot of responsibility will fall on Hamann's shoulder's in Steven Gerrard's absence and he will hope to deny his compatriot space to manoeuvre.

Luis Garcia v Diego Placente
Former Barcelona man Luis Garcia quickly won over the Liverpool faithful with his sparkling performances at Anfield following his summer switch. Injury and a subsequent loss of form then prevented him from cementing his place in November, but

the skilful attacker will be keen to show what he can do on the big stage. Argentinian defender Placente is a versatile option for Augenthaler and may be deployed to keep Luis Garcia quiet should Benitez hand him his favoured free role.

Milan Baros v Sascha Dum
Reds striker Baros will look to capitalise on Dum's lack of experience. Baros represents little in the way of aerial threat but has a knack of contorting his body to pounce on the ball in the penalty area.

Dum - just 19 - only made his first team debut at the weekend when Jens Nowotny was carried off with another suspected cruciate injury in his side's 4-2 win over Nurnberg.

Sounds very much like a Rafa team. I'd agree that that will be his team!

was listening to the radio last night and they had a german football expert on. he claimed that there was no way he could see leverkusen winning at anfield but he said that they would certainly not come to play for a 0-0.

no german team has EVER won at anfield. :cool:

leverkusens record against english teams in england.
