Or is injured as per the rumour on Saturday that he was due to start against Wigan until failing a late fitness testFWIW, I think Pacheco, based on whatever I've seen of him, is well better than what Yesil and Morgan have looked, and really deserves a chance.
As an aside, if Assaidi doesn't play, he's defo sleeping with Rodgers' missus.

Not going to be included in the squad tomorrow but will instead play for the under twenty ones on Friday apparently.Pascoe said Lucas wss pretty close to returning, maybe he'll get a few minutes

proabablySo does that mean Shelvey is playing the "false nine"?
According to the Echo, this is the front three: Assaidi - Shelvey - Cole
Rest of the team:
Reina, Wisdon, Skrtek, Carra, Downing, Hendo, Şahin, Suso
I think the false 9 role would be far more suited to a Pacheco/Suso type player but if it's a confidence building thing for Jonjo then I can see where he's coming from.proabably
he came on in that position against wigan and i said that he's trying out other options because he's got no faith in morgan, yesil, etc atm if called upon.
Shelvey needs some goals to get back to form anyway so hopefully its a risk that will pay off. Personally, i'd play sterling as the false 9

True
I dont quite understand the formation. Suso will be playing in front of Şahin + whoever tomight, yet shelvey will be occupying a similar position....
Surely we needed a flat midfield 3 in order to utilise the false 9?
No we need an isoceles midfield 3 to form an attacking trapezium utilising a false 9
I'm not going tonight as I'm off to see Rodriguez in concert.
Maxi?
From the Offal :
Reina, Wisdom, Downing, Carragher, Skrtel, Suso, Şahin, Henderson, Assaidi, Cole, Shelvey.
