After 3 defeats on the bounce with hardly a decent effort on goal, I think its fair to say we need a win. In saying that I would still leave Gerrard and Torres out of it and protect them for the biggest match of a generation on Sunday. Reina Johnson Agger Carra Insua Babel Masch Lucas Riera Benni Kuyt Hopefully if the 2 lads are fit we can stick them on the bench and leave them there
lyon having troubles of their own. http://www.goal.com/en/news/90/fran...lyonnais-0-2-sochaux-goals-from-marvin-martin
The preassure inside Anfield will be unreal i think. Lyon are a good team, and will be interesting to see how the lads handle this much preassure especially if Stevie and Torres are not starting.
If Torres and Gerrard and are fit I would play them, Lyon is going be tough game and if we don't pick up 3 points its going be hard with away to lyon next game
This is a massive game for us now. Realistically the Champions League should be our focus now because i don't envisage us winning the League from this position. If Torres and Gerard are fit they have to play. It's unthinkable that we could lose 4 games on the spin, however Lyon are a good side and should we draw or lose this one then we are under real pressure to qualify from the group.
Lisandro is still out injured I think which is a boost for us, he's class,. This is a must win,. But so is the Sc*m game, if we lose to them we are 10 points off, if we beat them we are 4points behind and with some momentum, and the toughest games behind us, this month was always going to be a nightmare. EDIT: Gerrard and Torres should start, try and in the game early and then take the off and give them a rest for the Sc*m.
Steven Gerrard has been in training with the Liverpool squad today, ahead of tomorrow's home game with Lyon. The Liverpool skipper missed Saturday's defeat at Sunderland with a groin problem picked up on international duty last week. But today's news is positive and he is expected to play in tomorrow's Champions League clash. Fernando Torres, however, did not take part in training as he tries to recover from the adductor injury that he suffered while playing for Spain. http://www.lfconline.com/news/loadnews.asp?cid=TMNW&id=468653
Really need to bounce back and cant afford to drop points at home in Champions league. Wouldnt start Stevie and Nando but would keep them on the bench incase were struggling. Reina Johnson Agger Skrtel Aurelio Macherano Lucas Yossi Babel Riera Kuyt Think should rest Carra for Sunday and again need big performances from Yossi Babel and Riera!!
He's definately out, and should be ashamed of himself, next time he comes out with the I'm a scouser comment I hope all our fans remember the last 10 days.
