That's the team I was thinking of, with the possible exception of delph for bannan.
But worth thinking about liverpool's full backs, who are very attacking. Our best approach might e to play wide players up against them. For example gabby or nzogbia against Johnson; weimann or Holman against Enrique (or downing?!)
I think that would mean reverting to 4231 though so it possibly depends whether Vlaar is fit.
Fucking 2-2

The 77 away win at anfield (2-1 Gray x 2) is still I think the game that made me fall in love with the club. I remember sitting watching MOTD as a kid with my mom, mesmerised that we'd won there and then I had that beautiful kit for Xmas and didn't take it off until about July.
Being as the date this coming Saturday is 15th December; older fans will remember 15th December, 1976 when we trounced the 'Pool 5-1 at Villa Park! If the omens are correct, it'll be 1-5 to us! However, realistically, I reckon a hard-fought draw 1-1. But, you never know!!

Me too with possibly Delph in for Bannan based on Tuesday's form.
And, Gabby on the bench poised like a coiled spring when Weimann may tire in the last 20 mins.
We'll loose this one I reckon. 3-0 to the dippers.

After seeing Villa again, I'm going to up my prediction.
We are going to win this game upward of 4-0. I suspect 5-0, although 6-0 wouldn't be an unreasonable prediction. Villa are easily the worst side that I've ever seen in the top flight in decades. They are abysmal all over the pitch. No cohesion, no belief, no guts, no ability, no desire.
This, my friends, is going to be an absolute battering come the weekend. Villa are going to get absolutely pounded into the floor.
This will be the easiest game that Brendan Rodgers will ever have for this club.
Am I right in saying there was no streams available on Tuesday night for the Norwich game?

Just when I realy want to hate them (well I do anyway), they go and post this....fair play to themVery nice gesture. Didn't we makes some sort of gesture around the time of the 10th anniversary of Hillsborough? Seem to recall Bosnich laying flowers in front of the kop.

To all fans attending this weekend's game against Aston Villa:
As you are probably aware, Aston Villa's captain, Stiliyan Petrov, was diagnosed with acute leukaemia in March 2012. As a show of support for "Stan," Villa fans give their skipper an ovation with applause in the 19th minute of every home game.
This weekend, we intend to follow suit and give our own ovation, in unity with the travelling Villa fans, for Petrov. At the beginning of the 19th minute, we ask all fans to show their support and applaud for one minute.
Thank you.

Oh the fickle nature of football supporters - one albeit outstanding result midweek and our season long low scoring side is going away to Anfield to give the home side a hiding.Cheer up Big Dick Edwards ffs, we are on the crest of a wave and we will beat them on Saturday,( although a point will be a blinder ) ;)
I hope everyone's confidence is proved justified. Me, I'll be delighted with a point at a ground where we have a very poor record historically.

The classic lesson was learnt on merseyside - if a scouser asks you the time , never answer as the midlands accent gives you away.
It's their oldest trick for finding out away fans.

Did we wear the all white one that day with the claret and blue piping? I loved that kit and wish we still played in it.

The best second half would have to be (for me) collymore's 2 goals contributing to a 3-2 win over arsenal.
Vlaar still out, that's a blow.

If Lambert decides to forsake the result and play Benteke right wing just for the sheer comedy value of it, I think I could forgive him!

Vlaar unlikely to be fit, gabby a doubt. Not sure about the left backs but I presume still out. Edit: q actually both left backs seem to be ok
I have a funny feeling N'Zogbia is going to come on for the last 20 minutes and make a significant difference.
Paul Lambert believes his emerging team will thrive at Anfield on Saturday.
Lambert is a big admirer of Liverpool - past and present - and believes they are on the right road under big-thinking boss Brendan Rodgers.
Anfield is known as one of the towering coliseums of football in this country, where bottle and belief are needed in abundance from opposing players.
Lambert has backed his side to show those qualities and give Liverpool a real battle in their own backyard.
He's under no illusions, however, at the size of the task facing his team with Liverpool also in fine form after coming back to beat West Ham at Upton Park on Monday.
He said: "My players will thrive on it. They will love the atmosphere and the occasion of it.
"It's a really prestigious stadium and the players who have played there, past and present, have been world-class. Arguably the greatest playerto come out of Liverpool is Kenny Dalglish!
"They have won European Cups, League Championships and it is a club steeped in tradition.
"I know how hard it is going to be. They have got some great players at the minute too! Brendan has a really good side there.
"I know Brendan very well, he's a great guy and he did a brilliant job at Swansea. He's then gone to Liverpool and got them going.
"It will be a good atmosphere and something we will try and enjoy.
"We're doing really fine. The other night the lads were excellent the way they went about things but regardless of that result, Liverpool was always going to be tough.
"We've always said that it's important not to let the mood go down when you lose and we will try and keep things in perspective now we've won.
"Regardless of Tuesday, going to Anfield was always going to be difficult. But we are going to try to win it."
Lambert sends his side out at Anfield on the back of a five-match unbeaten streak, which has seen some very promising signs for the present and the future.
He's been very happy with the progress made and thinks belief is growing in both the team collective and the players as individuals.
He continued: "We've had two defeats in eleven matches, it is not too bad is it. I think people think because we are young we are not going to do this or that. They are getting the credit now they deserve because they are playing really well.
"Since the win at Sunderland we've been doing really well and I don't have a problem with performances.
"Yes, you'd like to have more points on the board but the one thing I can't argue with is the effort and the way they are playing. Only Man Utd and Man City have beaten us during that run and that shows how well we are playing at the moment.
"There are a lot of young lads, a lot of enthusiasm and energy, and we are playing with freedom which is great.
"You sense they are playing well. They have got the belief to go and win. A lot has been made of being young but they are good enough and that's the belief I have got."
One player who's certainly playing with belief and confidence is Andreas Weimann, who was the star man at Carrow Road with his two-goal salvo.
With Darren Bent injured for "several weeks" thanks to a hamstring tear and Gabby Agbonlahor a doubt for the clash too, there's a strong chance Weimann could get the nod at Anfield.
He was benched for the games against Reading, QPR and Stoke but Lambert was keen to stress this decision wasn't as a result of a negative in his previous performances.
He made it clear it was because Weimann was crying out for a rest because of the enormous amounts of energy he'd expended in that period of pitch-action.
He added: "The reason I left Andi out was because he was running himself into the ground. It wasn't a case of leaving him out through choice. I had to protect him. I never dropped him.
"I had to give him a break because his work-rate has been extremely high. The run of games he's been on, and playing in the wide right area, he has done a hell of a lot of running.
"I gave him a little break and he came on and his finishing was absolutely brilliant at Norwich.
"The one thing about Andi is that he knows where the goal is and is a natural finisher."
Let's hope he puts Liverpool to the sword on Saturday!
I am not being negative. But i really think we need a pacy LB who can get up the pitch to add some width to our attacks. Lowton seems to be getting futher forward and we need that to be balanced on the left side so we do not become predictable ....
Bent will get a run out and score a goal. We will win and Liverpool will put in a bid for him early next month. It will be a Happy New year all round.
I'd definitely play Stevens or Bennett ahead of lichaj.I'd agree on Stevens, not seen enough of Bennett but I've seen enough of Lichaj .
I have a funny feeling N'Zogbia is going to come on for the last 20 minutes and make a significant difference.
I've had the same feeling for the past 16 months and I'm still waiting for N'Zogbia to do something. Maybe a 20 yarder curler into the top corner in front of the Kop will push up his value and we can flog him in January.

i also went to that game as a 15 year old,

It was a hairy place to go all right. My biggest memory of that game apart from us beating them was of being showered with fireworks, particularly bangers by their moronic fans in the ground! Segregation was virtually non-existent in the Anfield Road end.
Was shocked how well Nzogbia contributed when he came on. I am hoping Lambert has spotted something in him which can make him "tick" he seems a very sensitive complex player who has to be made to feel part of a team/group. Not getting carried away but he could become that spark from midfield we need to ignite our front line. Would start with Holman though. Downing could be playing LB and i am sure Lambert will be targeting this as a weak link. Strangely not as pessimistic as usual of this fixture. 0-1 Weimann ........
I actually think Liverpoo should be higher than where they are . they have played some decent football without getting the results
and suarez is a world class striker . They are slowly getting better too. I would be seriously over the moon If we dont lose today .
That would be an awesome result. Play like we did against Norwich , we can get a point , play like we did against Reading , we will be stuffed.

Suarez is a good player, but world class? Not for me. Liverpool are nothing more than a solid top half team these days and we shouldn't go there fearing them. I'd take a draw as I would at most premier league grounds.
You can get 9-1 with some bookies for a Villa win. Straight! Unbelievable!Really ! Really might have a slice of that
World class is Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta and a handful of others. Luis Suarez is, for me, very good, but not quite great. Just my opinion of course, but it's one that seems to be shared by the proper/rich big clubs as the cheating little scrote is still at upper mid-table Liverpool.

Good point, I suppose if you define world class as one of the 2/3 best players in a position it's harder to argue for Suarez. I was thinking more along the lines of being able to make a difference at the highest level. The 'cheating little scrote' part has obviously gone un-argued.
