If I was Rafa i'd be tempted to give a few of the kids a run, they haven't been in the fold long enough to have lost faith in his methods, they'll play without fear and if they will naturally draw the support of a disgruntled crowd.
- Young Derby (or Kelly if he can get himself fit) is a must at RB, he had a solid game at Reading in the first match (the only positive from that game) and the kid deserves a chance + as a local lad he'll get the crowd up.
- Next up Pachecho, with no Gerrard or Yossi to play in the hole this lad deserves a chance. He's been criminally underused considering our lack of adventure going forward and this teams is screaming for a player to take it on, run with the ball and show a bit of trickery.
- I'd even get young Ecclestone in the squad for the upcoming games and see what the lad is made of. The experienced players have let him down time and time again this season so why not?
- Insua needs to come out of the firing line, he's had a torrid 6 weeks and Aurelio must start ahead of him in the coming weeks.
- Give Rodriguez a chance to come in and claim that RM spot, Dirk for all his battling qualities (he's one of the few to show it the last 3-4 weeks) needs to step out or play in a two up-front. Maxi is no dribbler but he is a clever player with some skill.

Whatever the case, for fecks sake get Pacheco in there. If anyone's seen him for the reserves or even in his cameos for the first team they'll know he has a lot of quality and a very good work ethic. I find it unbelievable that our best prospect in years has barely figured and he's just turned 19. I don't worry about him 'freezing' because he seems to be a 'fearless' type, chomping at the bit and honoured to play for the club. He is our best option to play in the hole by a mile, IMO. The rest pretty much picks itself for me.
I don't expect Rafa to pick that team, though. Kuyt will be in there, so will Insua and maybe even Babel.

i say keep it simple for now.
Agree with this completely.
The team (maybe Rafa) tend to over complicate things with attacking overlaping fullbacks and 2 defensive midfielders, a link man and 2 attacking wingers. Hoffing the ball for the lone striker to hold up while the wingers and link midfield/striker playing the counter attack and passing it to the overlapping fullback to cross into the box.

We need quality not quantity, of course we may well end up with N'Gog up front, Rodriguez in behind him with Kuyt on the right and either Riera (if fit) or Aurelio or maybe a new signing on the left. Mascherano can't have that much left on his suspension

Common, so many fans (real fans too) have been screaming for some width and less defensive stategy for years. Is he going to listen or obliged? Hell no...
It is his way or no way... Liverpool will either flourish or die with him trying his way. End of story.
Furthermore, there is so much money to be made in making the situation as untenable as possible.
He has the bird in his hand, call it either way he wins.
Guess who lose.......... Real fans will never be able to answer, they just don't have the brain cells to process this. Is it a coincidence that he signs a four year deal on the back of our best performance in the league and suddenly everything goes downhill? Yeah players do make a difference but so much?
Don't be naive... Why make a meagrel 4million when you can get it in payout of 20million? Do your maths.. (please don't if you fail in maths)..
