    2 days to go.

    --------------------------Mignolet---------------------------
    ------Wisdom------Skrtel-----------Toure-------Enrique------
    --------------------lucas----------Gerrard-------------------
    ---------------------------Allen-----------------------------
    ------------Henderson-------------------Moses--------------
    -------------------------Sturridge---------------------------

    Subs: Jones, Sakho, Kelly or Ilori, Alberto, Sterling, Ibe, Aspas.

    Our bench lacks an experienced midfield option.

    If Agger is fit:

    ---Toure---Skrtel---Agger---Enrique---

    and Wisdom replaces Kelly/Ilori on the bench.

    i would swap Toure for Skrtel and have Sakho in...also possibly put Henderson in Allen's role with Aspas on the right. Or even Henderson in Allen's role and start with Ibe on the right...

    Decisions Decisions Decisions....good to have this season, as we've lacked that depth for a good few years now.

    Wouldn't start Ibe, he's got potential the lad but he isn't ready..
    Agree that stick Hendo where Allen is and play either Aspas or Sterling on the Right.
    Not ideal, would love to have the ability to play Ford but if we can put in a shift, get a win, then all should be rosey for the return of Suarez.

  4. I'd put Henderson in the middle and Sterling on right #433

    BR will go with JK's team <ok>

    I'm confident about this one. Yes Ford is out, but I think we have enough going forward to compensate and I can see Moses getting on the score sheet again. I like him, exciting player who takes up good positions and isn't afraid to hit one from distance if it opens up for him. I'd like to see Toure back in there if he's fully fit as he organises well and is generally good for the whole team (I like how he's always first to a goal celebration too). Be positive here gents, were are ****ing flying at the minute!!!

    Just seen this interesting stat. Southampton have allowed only nine shots on target this season - fewer than any other side, while Liverpool have conceded the second most (22

    Alberto scored a hat-trick for the reserves so maybe, maybe will feature?

    When Borini scored to against the United u21's he didnt get in to the first team. Not even for the cup tie.

    True, but that was just before the deadline day loan move and he may not have featured because he was due to leave?
    No point playing someone who you won't be able to call upon for the rest of the season?

    I personally think Ibe is just as ready as Sterling. I think Sterling makes more of an impact as a 65min sub. So I don't see why we don't start with Ibe and bring Sterling on with 25 minutes to go.

    But I definitely think Hendo has to start in the middle, I feel he's so wasted when played on the flanks.

    Whatever happens it'll be interesting to see BR's first 11 for this game.

    At least after this game we can use Suarez in the Coutinho number 10 role...that should work a treat <ok>

    I like the fella.. he came from my home town club <ok>
    But when I've seen him play this year, he's a bit slow when releasing the ball and right now he tries one trick too many...
    If all goes well, he'll be a beast of a player, but for this game I'd opt for a bit more "experience"

    I'm not sure he is strong enough yet. At Almeria he is playing wide.

    and Cout is? Think this is a big year for Suso though, he is playing a lot at Almeria, already pulling the strings, captained the Spain u19's in the summer and will be captain in the next u-21 tournament coming up. A lot of responsibility on the lad and think that will get him progressing as well.

    Suso made his debut for UD Almeria against Villareal in La Liga. He impressed greatly and was the most accurate passer in the final third. He was involved in both of his team's goals. Further, he assisted one goal and provided a hockey assist (through ball that lead to an assist) for the other. Almeria lost the match 3-2.

    Basically played in 4 games and has two assists.

    He is doing very well. But that is not as rough as over here.
