Aquilani is in the match day squad. Torres will start.

Well that's some excellent news right there if on the button. I have us down for 1-1 but as Fulham have a number of 1st teamers out, if Torres plays well and if Aquilani gets the last 20 mins, then I'm starting to feel more optimistic.

I'll go with Keni's team to start, it looks good enough to win :

-------------- Reina
Degen --- Carra -- Agger -- Insua
--------- Masher -- Lucas
-- Yossi ------- Kuyt ------- Aurelio
-------------- Torres
 
Fulham (from): Schwarzer, Zuberbuhler, Konchesky, Pantsil, Hangeland, Baird, Smalling, Kelly, Hughes, Dempsey, Gera, Andranik, Duff, Riise, Greening, Kamara, E Johnson, Nevland, Seol, Zamora, Elm.

Liverpool (from): Reina, Aurelio, Carragher, Agger, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Insua, Babel, Lucas, Mascherano, Benayoun, Kuyt, Torres, Voronin, Ngog, Plessis, Spearing, Dossena, Cavalieri, Degen.
 
we drop points today and all that hard work last week will be of less value. we really need to get a run of wins together upto th end of the xmas schedule.

Why would you play Kuyt behind Torres when he is more effective on the right and vice versa for Yossi?

Not many decisions to make here.

-------------- Reina
Degen --- Carra -- Agger -- Insua
--------- Masher -- Lucas
-- Yossi ------- Kuyt ------- Aurelio
-------------- Torres

If ever a right back needed protection it's Degen Ken. Swop Kuyt and Yossi.

Oops correct, missed that. I'd also think that is what Keni meant to put down.
 
A win is a must for today's game. Else all the hard work and effort put in against the mancs will be wasted.

A win and we will definitely gain a place or two in the table. It will lift a whole load of pressure on our players. It will be a small game when we look at it at the end of the season. But for the next few weeks......a win here will be a major boost.

Come on lads....
 
If nothing else, Fulham will be nice and compact. It will be tough to try and break them down if we dont have Torres and even if we do have Torres, he could be isolated if we play Voronin behind him because Voronin plays the game too slowly.

I'd like to see Benayoun and Kuyt play in the wider positions with 2 fast players upfront in Torres and Babel/Ngog.

The positives I can see is that, Fulham will have 2 fast players to deal with, it may make their defence play a little deeper and it gives options to play the ball over the top and get their defence turned and force mistakes. We'd also have attacking players in Benni and Kuyt supporting them.

I desperately hope Voronin doesnt play. If we are to rely on him to make things happen, I fear the game will be played too slowly and not very effectively and could result in our lone striker being isolated.

If Fulham are to play in a compact way and with Masch and Lucas in midfield with no Gerrard - I would like to see us play with 2 strikers or at the very least, Benayoun in the hole - though that begs the question as to who plays at LM.
 
Bad news about Agger, if true. I think I'd rather have Skrtel in the team than Zorba though.

Agree with rebel (!) that it would be interesting to see a Torres-Wash partnership. I'm not sure this is really the game to be experimenting, but Wash might well come into his own with a fast, brilliant strike partner. Some of his flicks and passes against Arsenal were truly lovely.
 
Agger, what a fucking joke.

I only hope fucking Lucas has a better game than he did last season in that 0-0, he was so shit he made Murphy look like Zinedine Zidane

Well Murphy is way better than Lucas.
 
If Agger is injured, isn't Skrtel the natural replacement?

Anyways, we'll have to see when the line ups are out. There was 1 or 2 players wrong the last time aswell.
