Well the mersyside derby is here and what better way to erase our champions league heartbreak and get our season back on track than by beating the blue :censored:

. Couple of questions though , will aquliani start? Will he get any playing time at all in this match? What state of mind are the players in , yes we are out of the champions league but we're still in Europe , only difference bar the obvious is now we're playing on thursday's instead of tuesday's and wednesday's. Anyways back to the match and this is how i see us lining up , assuming we've got no more injuries to date.

Reina

Johnson Agger Carragher Aurelio

Masch Lucas

Kuyt Yossi/Riera

Gerrard

Torres

2-0 , Aurelio and Torres

The perfect game to lift our spirit up. 3-2 to us. Torres, Benny, SG

The line up I would LOVE to see would be:

Reina

Johnson Agger Carragher Aurelio

Masch Aquilani

Benayoun Riera

Gerrard

Torres

But Aquilani wont start, Torres probably wont, Kuyt will probably start and Aurelio will proably be at left mid :down:

Our Premiership records at the sh 1t ho le.

Rafa : P5 W3 D1 L1 F7 A3 PTS 10 (2.00 pts/game)
Overall : P17 W7 D4 L6 F21 A20 PTS 25 (1.47 pts/game)

We lost there in the cup but won there in the league last season. Torres scored both goals last season in the league, Kuyt both (penalties) the season before in a 2-1 win. We seem to struggle more at home than away to them these days, three of the last four derbies at Anfield in all competitions have ended as draws with just five goals combined across all four games. Their loss away to Hull will count for little come the weekend, they'd love to compound our misery with any kind of result.

there flippin awful at the moment and we should be looking to kick them while were down, i fear this is make or break for our season. If we win we can build and move on to bigger and better things, lose and thats us done for the season i think. The players and staff must raise there games on the weekend and if a mersyside derby cant get you motivated then nothing can.

I think if we lose, Rafa is gone. That said I don't think we will, I think we'll get home 2-1.

I think with Kuyt playing the way he is....and not sure when riera is gonna come back.....we could go back to the 5-3-2 formation.

Reina
Skertel Carra Agger
Johnson Auerlio
Mascerhano
Aquaman Gerrard
Benayoun
Ngog

We just don't have quality wingers in the squad nowadays..... So we can't keep playing 4-4-2 or the dreaded 4-5-1 until we get better players there.

Our best chance is Johnson and Auerlio to take full control of the wings....Leaving Mascherano to cover for the fullbacks when they go up. SO WE DON'T NEED 2 DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS TO COVER THE FULLBACKS (sorri...somehow i think benitez will be reading this

)

So that leaves Gerrard and Aquaman in Attacking midfield. ALways thought gerrard looks more dangerous coming in from the left (isn't there where capello puts him for england too).

Benayoun to support our one player who is on form now... Ngog which spells trouble for him. We all know how Benitez treats strikers who are on form or on the verge of going on one (apart from torres of course :wwww

)

Anyway..........you won't be seeing this team against ever$hit as benitez will somehow find a way to accomodate Kuyt and a Lucas/Mascherano Midfield axis... :angry:

im going for 6-6..

Given Everton's form and Liverpool's form, this could be a borefest.

I think Liverpool need to concentrate on getting 1-0 wins for the rest of the year. 1-0 will do. That's all. Get a goal and then sit in the box and defend it. It doesn't have to be pretty football or good football. God knows we don't play good football anyway most of the time, so what's the difference.

In fact, if Liverpool concentrate on 1-0'ers, they could win the Prem!!!!!!

Get a goal...then park the bus.

Season winners! Hooray!

everton's defence is worse than ours. i'd expect us to win and i wouldn't be surprised if benayoun for aurelio is the only change from tuesday night.

who's the ref anybody know?
