Johnson, Skrtel & Gerrard all out against us

[Gaz]

Should improve our chances against them

Maybe Suarez and all.

[Reidy]

hope Suarez is too, still a strong side though and at home so will still be difficult, hope we manage to get something out of it.

[Spartacus]

Don't count your chickens, although, i still believe we may get something!

[Rozza]

Skrtel is shite anyway

[Seaburn Mackem]

good news but they can still but out a very decent side

[Whipporwill]

We should be able to overrun their midfield, Henderson and Adam are their main creative players, who are entering a new team and a new style of play. If we can get Gardner/Vaughan and Cattermole on the ball and move it around quickly, we should be able to stop them getting high up the pitch and force them into their own half.

Likely team:

Reina
Kelly Carragher Agger Aurelio
Lucas Adam
Aquilani
Kuyt Carroll Downing

With Meireles possibly in for Aquilani instead

Agger is a lot better than Skrtel anyway, so he would have probably been on the bench even if he was fit. Johnson was poor vs. Valerenga and has only had 45 minutes of pre-season action due to injury, whereas Kelly has played in every match including the majority of the match vs. Valencia. Gerrard will be a big miss, but the team have coped without him since March

Was shitting my pants about the prospect of Johnson like

Hope Johnson plays, hes utter shite at full back! How he gets in the England team is beyond me!
