I can't see a thread on this anywhere.

 

On the basis that Insua isn't registered for the CL, we need to keep Aurelio fit for the Chelsea games so I'd go with this:

 

Reina

Arbeloa Carra Agger Insua

Masch Xabi

Kuyt Gerrard Riera

Torres

 

Subs: Cavalieri, Skrtel, Aurelio, Lucas, Yossi, Babel, Ngog.

Why would you drop a centre back who's helped keep two clean sheets against Real Madrid and been part of the team thats walloped Man Utd and Villa? Its a bit harsh. I know he's had a dodgy int week but who cares? This is Liverpool.

you could argue that with big Skrtel and Sami being away for internationals, Carra and Agger will be fresh.

Well apart from Agger playing 2 internationals!

Its a marginal call and my guess is that Rafa will give Skrtel the nod anyway. However, I reckon Fulham may shut up shop so it might be useful to have Agger bringing the ball into midfield.

Can't see Masch playing after the week he's had. Really tough game this, they've beaten the Mancs and Arsenal at home, drawn with Chelsea there and taken a point from Anfield. Hodgson seems desperate to make it up to the Mancs too.

i agree with you fred but at least be honest and admit that it's because you rate agger higher than skrtel eh? ;)

Agree with Fred, Masch can/will rest on Wednesday. I think he will play.

 

I also think Agger will play - a) to sort of placate the contract conversation but b) Martin will play against Drogba on Wednesday.

Same for me. Would prefer to see Spearing instead of Lucas if Masch isn't fit but it's highly unlikely, let's be honest if Masch isn't fit then Lucas will start.

 

Fulham's midfield thrive on time on the ball. Masch/Spearing won't give them that whereas Lucas may allow them a little more.

I'd start Lucas.

ahead of mascherano? yeah. he's not even back in england until tomorrow morning having got a beating la paz, without even paying for it. lucas i agree with.

Dont see Rafa letting a contract situation have any impact on team selection. Fitness and mentality will be the key factors, no?

yes, for those reasons, plus lucas is playing pretty well i reckon. He's a fairly safe pair of hands, and a very useful scapegoat.

Mascherano will be fine, get him a good strong coffee and and a bacon and egg sarnie. he'll be fine.

 

it's a late kick off, so he'll have the extra 2 hours to recover as well.

Yesterday will have been like a high altitude training session for Masch. He'll be invincible at sea level.

Mascherano will be knackered after getting a good hiding at 3,600 ft in Bolivia 6-1 and then a 14 hour flight back.

 

Its 3600m (i.e. over 12000 ft)in La Paz. Having gone on a run the day after I arrived in Mexico City (2200m) I can vouch for the difficulty and how quickly you get knackered.

 

No wonder Bolivia get these results sometimes - I seem to remember them thrashing Brazil in La Paz a few years ago.
