I dont fancy playing them with just Gerrard and Henderson as the only recognised midfielders.
I'd take Coutinho out personally.
His form is off and he is looking tired.
I am going myself and finishing work 12:30 then hitting a bar called the Bierkeller.
It is opposite the Hilton hotel off Liverpool 1 mate.
The sportsbar there is usually busy in the day and has free pool in the afternoon so happy days.

Our midfield struggled to get a grip of the game against Bournemouth so I'm not exactly relishing that battle either.
We used to have a great record against Everton but the last 3 games have been draws, got an ominous feeling that they are due a win at our place.
By all accounts Rodgers has said in an interview this morning that we are small squad with a lot of injuries etc etc, a lot of that confidence we had around Christmas seems to have ebbed from us.

The journey begins at 7am tomorrow. Down to Dublin Port. Onto the ferry. Arrive at Holyhead, onto a bus, get to Liverpool at around half 2.
Anyone want to recommend a bar for me? Haven't made it over in years.
As for the game, I really hope Sakho and Allen are back. If not, we'll have to go with a similar line up as we saw on Saturday.
Yeah I suck at match threads but no else made one so..

There is a lot of negativity amongst the fans at the moment but our 2014 form is 4 wins and a draw. Hardly crisis form :D
I get your point though, the injuries have piled up and we're just about able to name a starting 11 at the moment.
I think the key to winning here will be to press them high with a 3 man midfield. If we can do that they won't be able to get any control of the game.
A lot depends on whether Allen is fit or not.

We'll be flapping at the back with the likes of Lukaku and jagielka about so you can bet your bottom dollar than our defenders will almost have them in head locks whenever there's a corner or free kick.
Kelly should have conceded a pen last week with his frankly ridiculous pull of that Bournemouth players shirt so one can't be far away.
It's a cert to happen tomorrow.
