Liverpool vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

Guzan, Hutton, Baker, Senderos, Cissokho, Westwood, Delph, Cleverley, Richardson, Agbonlahor [c], Weimann.

Subs: Okore, Bacuna, Bent, Sanchez, N’Zogbia, Given, Grealish.

[Mister E]

I'd have been tempted to give Sanchez a game in front of the weakened back four. Perhaps he'll come on after we've taken the lead ...

[PeterWithesShin]

Racist FC:  Mignolet, Manquillo, Moreno, Lovren, Sakho, Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho, Markovic, Lallana, Balotelli

Subs: Jones, Enrique, Lucas, Toure, Sterling, Lambert, Borini

[N'Zimidy]

First time in years we have a bench with options on it.

[PeterWithesShin]

Happy that Sterling is on the bench.

[onje_villa]

Not at all confident now without Vlaar and Baker in. I think he'll struggle against their pace and movement. We really need Okore match fit ASAP. Still, at leaf we have a few more options this season. Let's hope we give a decent account of ourselves.

[Matt Collins]

With that Liverpool team I'd have had a reasonable degree of confidence with vlaar in.

But baker against the movement of their front four . . .

[paulcomben]

A lot of new players for Liverpool, including Lallana & Balotelli. Hope that helps us.

We've got no chance now Vlaars out and Bakers in
No chance I tells ya no chance

[onje_villa]

Lot of tricky forward players they have, think we'll need to score a couple today to take a point.

[not3bad]

Pity that Okore wasn't ready yet.

[garyshawsknee]

Balotteli against Baker, ah. whats up with Clark ?

[john e]

Happy that Sterling is on the bench.

Rodgers wants to rest him, and thinks this will be an easy game

[richard moore]

Right, off to the pub to watch this, got my Rotterdam 82 shirt on. I shall endeavour not to smack one of their lot in the gob. Enjoy everyone!

[Ron Manager]

I would imagine Baker is in to physically batter Balotelli.

It might work, but probably will not.
