I'd like to see Aspas against Norwich if Sturridge isn't fit. I feel like he has something left to contribute this season, and a good performance would easily double the fee we could get for him in the summer if/when he is deemed surplus.
It might well be Moses though, I think he's looked a bit more spry in his last couple of sub appearances. I feel he could be very successful as an outright striker though, he seems like a player who really feeds off of goals more than assists.
I trust BR to get it right though, and if it's not, fix it.

But it says Lucas or Allen? The entire poll is a bit suspect. It's asking us to replace two players with one.
Norwich's final 4 games:
Us at home
United away
Chelsea away
Arsenal at home
They're not gonna park the bus, not a chance. They'll attack us and I'm hoping that plays into our hands.
Play our game and we'll blow them away but it's no gimme.
Gonna be another long week waiting for this.

I'm certain that Norwich will end our winning run. I'm convinced. Which is why I'm going to do something I never, ever do, and bet on Liverpool not winning.
If we still had Ibe, it'd have been great to see a 4-3-3 with Sterling and Ibe on either side of Suarez. I'd love to watch Teixeira get a start against Norwich, but I think Moses probably gets the nod. I feel really meh over that, but we'll win inspite of that.
I'd prefer Alberto or Aspas over Moses any day. Norwich look like the perfect opponents for the pair to get their feet wet. If they can't even perform against Norwich with this team, I'm not sure how they can even have a career in the league.

I'd go 4-3-3 with Lucas and Allen coming in, having Sterling and Coutinho either side of Suarez.
Poll is very suspect. Two players out and you can choose only one option ... with no Allen (can't lump him in with Lucas FFS) !
If they are both out then I'd bring in Allen and Lucas and push Sterling further forward. I don't want Aspas near the team, he loses possession too often. Texeira on the bench to replace Allen/Lucas if required. Missing Borini as backup and Ibe too as a great bench option.

Norwich...that's the one Luis scores 8 against every time right? NEXT!
I'd be reluctant to replace two predominantly attack minded players with two players who like to sit deeper, it could upset our rhythm and our ability on the break. I don't really rate Moses at all, I think we need players who are up for a fight when the chips are down and he won't, going off past performances.
I'd go with Allen and Aspas, at least give him a go and see what happens, if it doesn't work then look to the bench. Allen gets the nod because he's looked good of late and Lucas' record in the middle with Gerrard is poor.

Agreed, I don't want to see Moses either. I was worried about him during the couple mins he played yesterday purely because we couldn't afford anyone to be casual about their job.
------------------- Ming
Johnson -- Skrtel -- Sakho -- Flannagan
----------------- Gerrard
---------- Lucas ----------- Allen
--- Sterling ------ Suarez ----- Coutinho
Alternatively you could switch it up and play the diamond with Coutinho at the tip and Sterling playing in place of Sturridge. Lucas did pretty well playing in that CM/RM role for 45mins against West Ham.

I'd try the diamond personally, Sterling's running and ability to spin in and hold off players could work great alongside Luis.
I'd go with Keni's team. Lucas and Allen are both capable of causing a menace in the box, you never know what they might pop up with. It also means we don't need to worry about being over-run in midfield and it lets Coutinho play a bit further forward. Lucas playing also means Johnson has a bit more licence to attack as he can fill that void if needed.
On thinking about it, I'm nervous about this one. I reckon with their new manager, the fact that they need the points, also that we're not as good away from home, all leads to them definitely getting a result.
But then, my head takes over, we'll win this by four or five, it's about time Suarez got a few goals.

I'd go with that too. I am tempted by Alberto/tex for Lucas. More improbably it would be an absolute gamble (crazy) to play Rossiter.
Just to reiterate the above, because I couldn't be arsed to write it out myself.
I think Norwich has lost just once at home this (calendar) year. This game will have me just as nervous as any of the ones that have come before.
Norwich's home record is 6-6-5 and their top scorer has 5 goals ....but you have to come up to 12th/13th to find a team with as good a home record (even though always low-scoring). However I don't believe they will get close to keeping us out and it will be a straightforward 0-3, 0-4, 1-4 win.
