Reading team to face Liverpool. McCarthy; Kelly, Morrison, Mariappa, Gunter; Karacan, Guthrie; McAnuff, Hunt, McCleary; Pogrebnyak. SUBS: Taylor, Harte, Pearce, Carrico, Leigertwood, Le Fondre & Blackman. Liverpool team to face Reading. Reina; Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Enrique; Lucas, Henderson, Gerrard; Coutinho, Sturridge, Suarez. SUBS: Jones, Coates, Skrtel, Shelvey, Assaidi, Downing & Suso. - Reading line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Pogrebnyak upfront after returning from suspension. Liverpool make one change as Daniel Sturridge comes in for Stewart Downing.
Pogrebnyak is painfully slow so that should play into our hands. In saying that he is quite strong so he'll probably bully our defence and score a few headers. Need the defence to play a high line for this game, maybe Skrtel would've been more suited with his pace to play in a high line.
After working my ass off to get out early from work and watch the match. Please let us have a decent attacking game.
No Downing wtf? We're doomed without his influence on the pitch perhaps Rodgers will use him as an impact sub from the bench and he'll come on and save use from defeat.
