Is Carra going to play at Right Back?

 

Arbeloa out with a hamstring injury for at least a fortnight - not good news.

yep, that's the one for me

I suspect Bolton will start with Gardener after his decent cameo a few weeks ago, so the full backs will have to be alive to pace

He's had a long enought lay off.

Give the others the day off and give Bolton the change of keeping our score in single figures I say.

Liverpool have suffered another injury blow with the news that right back Alvaro Arbeloa is facing a spell on the sidelines.

 

The Spanish defender pulled up during training yesterday and is believed to have sustained a hamstring strain.

 

The extent of the injury was being assessed at Melwood today, but Arbeloa is likely to be out for at least a fortnight, leaving Benitez with the option of shifting Jamie Carragher to right back or promoting promising youngster Stephen Darby.

 

It's on the 2nd page

Haven't seen it reported anywhere else though

[Flasher]

Carragher is too slow for the right hand side. Of course he'd do a job, but it will knacker him for the next game.. He should stay central and Darby should play.

[Mike]

id play darby or carragher happily. i've not been impressed with arbeloa lately so this isn't such a blow imo.

[CarraLegend]

This is a huge test when you're struggling at home, they're doing ok away though got whooped at Villa.

 

Let's hope if its 0-0 after 60mins we benefit from corruption like the dirty, filthy, cheating pieces of manc filth did.

[Tommy Cockles]

All I want for Xmas is for Torres to be fit for Boxing Day.

[Cam]

I'd normally plump for Darby, particularly as we're at home, but him and Insua as fullbacks may be too much.

 

Also... I love that the Kop applauds the visiting 'keepers but Jaaskelainen has never responded. Why give him the satisfaction of snubbing. He'll be thinking it through before they come out and chuckling away to himself. Throw Xmas left-overs at the **** instead.

[stressederic]

I'd quite like us to t*** Bolton.

[Swagger]

As much as I am in favour of youngsters to be given a chance, I'll go with Carra at RB and Hyypia alongside Agger to counter Bolton's aerial threat.

 

Cannot wait for this game to start. A win at Anfield against a so called 'lessor' team should shut up a few mouths.

agree, it'll be elmander and davies and lots of aerial ball.

 

why did we sign degen again? how did he pass the medical?

[McBain]

No chance of a full strength line up today with Newcastle so close. Reckon Darby, Insua, Lucas, Benayoun and Babel could all start.

He's like a purple Ralph Lauren. You know it's sh*t and you won't wear it but it's cheap.

[Swagger]

Thing is, he wasn't cheap: he's reputedly on 40K a week and received a 2m signing on bonus. Don't know what Rafa was thinking signing the brittle f***.

i don't understand that murph.

[aka Dus]

Hyppia would have played anyway so I reckon Carra RB.

 

Am home for the Xmas so I'm guessing that P2P sites are the only place to see this live? There are no boozers with foreign sports channels on in my locality.

[David Hodgson]

He's like a purple Ralph Lauren. You know it's sh*t and you won't wear it but it's cheap.

 

Brings to mind that Woody Allen line when someone comments that 'the food in this restaurant is awful.' to which woody adds 'and such small portions.'

SAMI AND YOSSI IN AS RAFA RETURNS

Jimmy Rice at Anfield 26 December 2008

There are two changes to the Liverpool side for the visit of Bolton this afternoon as Rafa Benitez makes his dressing room return. Listen to our Match Day Live show online from 2.30pm GMT.

Sami Hyypia and Yossi Benayoun come in for Lucas and the injured Alvaro Arbeloa.

 

Though Benitez is back at Anfield, Sammy Lee is still likely to take a prominent role on the Reds bench.

 

The Liverpool XI in full is: Reina, Carragher, Insua, Hyypia, Agger, Riera, Benayoun, Alonso, Gerrard, Kuyt, Keane. Subs: Cavalieri, Ngog, El Zhar, Mascherano, Babel, Lucas, Darby.
