Suso hinting on twitter that he's in the squad for this

[Billy Talbot]

Who needs a rest?

 

Probably Gerrard. Though he subbed himself for the last 10. Good lad.

[mally]

Will we even score?

[carrafan]

Will we even score?

 

Sure. A couple.

[Gunga Din]

i reckon he might go 3 at the back here. Downing and Johnson the wide men.

[stressederic]

After Suarez misses an open goal obviously.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

They'll have Andy Johnson and James McLean running the wing with Segusseon (sp) and Fletcher upfront (or even Saha), it will be a tough game. Those players are primed for breaking quickly and being direct.

 

Not sure we will go 3 at the back as Wayne alluded to. I think Rodgers is going to try and stamp his philosophy on the midfield and defence right from the start as they are the basis of a possession based game.

 

Sahin will be the interesting choice, if he's not up to a shift of work, then perhaps Shelvey would be a better option with Sahin off the bench later in the game because there will be plenty of industry from O'Neills team.

 

I want to say, keep them in their box for 60mins and introduce quality thereafter but 'quality' is limited. I'd go with:

 

Reina

 

Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique

 

Gerrard Allen Henderson

 

Downing Borini Shelvey*

 

Introduce Sahin, Suarez* and Sterling later in the game

 

*Suarez will be travelling back from South America and is our only recognised striker, it may be determined that he starts this one on the bench.

[Stevie H]

'Segusseon'? good gods man that's not even near.

[growler]

I'd go sterling borini Suarez as a front 3, with Gerrard in front of sahin and Henderson.

It has 3 's', a 'g' and a few vowels - that'll do for me.

[richwilks]

I'd go sterling borini Suarez as a front 3, with Gerrard in front of sahin and Henderson.

 

No Allen? He's been our most consistent player so far.

Hate this fixture. We need something though.

It's the sort of game we'll either win or lose unless we can get a draw.

Covered all the bases there.
