Agger not even on the bench....anyone know the story there?

ONeill · January 10, 2009, 05:12:04 PM

Wasn't long enough.

Stalin · January 10, 2009, 05:15:37 PM

Rather Kuyt than Keane. Did you lads see the Preston game?

charlie stubbs · January 10, 2009, 05:21:00 PM

should still have enough to see off stoke this time. no point rushing torres back in,maybe given him half an hour especially the way injury reoccurring.babel is that bad at min that i never thought i would say this but glad benayoun starting

stevo-08 · January 10, 2009, 05:22:21 PM

wouldnt have predicted that team anyway. Hyypia in to defend the long throw ins, but not sure what the story with agger is. Kuyt up front on his own, hmm not much of a threat there. With alonso injured, and torres coming back from injury, surely there was an opportunity to start keane & kuyt upfront with gerrard back in midfield instead of lucas.

Anyway Torres, Keane & Babel on the bench - so at least we have some quality to change the game if need be...

Somebody on one of the forums said it was on the radio that he picked up a knock.

HT 0-0

Been really poor so far. Probably been the worst 45 minutes of the season. Players need a rocket up their backsides and a couple of changes to be made.

J70 · January 10, 2009, 06:22:26 PM

They've nothing up front. They're constantly losing the ball up there, then Stoke are breaking and Liverpool are giving away frees and throws and putting themselves under pressure. Another 15 minutes of this and Stoke will likely get something.

Get Torres and Keane on, Benayoun off. The other replacement depends on whether Lucas is injured.

Carmen Stateside · January 10, 2009, 06:23:18 PM

Needs to go with 2 up front second half!
Gerrard not in it,Kuyt getting it tough as usual.
Get Torres/Keane on for Lucas!

GalwayBayBoy · January 10, 2009, 06:26:12 PM

Must be Gerrard's quietest game of the season. Can barely remember him touching the ball. No messing around. I would have Torres and Keane on straight away. I fear he'll leave it until the 60/65 minute mark though.

If it finishes like this Rafa might wish he had kept his mouth shut yesterday!

Doubtful, but that is certainly the way it will be interpreted by the press and the public.

And if they do manage to sneak the points he'll be a genius.
