Could Kenny be playing 4-3-3? Poulsen, Meireles, and Lucas in midfield, Jova, Dirk and Fernando up front?

Johnson or Kelly LB ?

Doesn't say much for Konchesky !

whatawaster

Poulsen!!!

super_furry

None of these should be playing. Poor team heading out, cant see us creating anything out there tonight. I reckon if we sneak it by one, we'll be doing well

451 I'd say. Like the selection, no 442 at least. Hopefulyl Poulsen will start performing. We badly need a DM.

missingtime

Very very weird team...

podge018

Kelly's a centre-half by trade isn't he? Agger left back, Johnson on the right. ???

whatawaster

Have to say, kenny or no kenny, I hate that team selection

Maybe like this? Meireles needs to be in the middle though imo and maybe play Lucas further forward

That selection appears rather strange, has it been confirmed?

If true it could be a tough night for you.

Dont be at yourself

Could be 433, 451 or 442. Hopefully not the latter, with that lineup.

The team is certainly not what I was expecting! Poulsen is being given the chance to perform or be sold hopefully. Not sure if he can perform and wouldn't mind if he was sold.
To be fair the same can be said for Jova - although I think he is far more capable of performing but i wouldn't mind if he is sold either.

Mr.Crinklewood

Kingson, Eardley, Evatt, Cathcart, Crainey, Adam, Vaughan, Grandin, Taylor-Fletcher, Campbell, Varney.

opr

Didn't someone mention that its been said we might get to see a player given the licence to play more further than he has been allowed or maybe I read it on twitter, Lucas maybe with the other two holding ?

Something like this

Poulsen!!!! :mad::mad::mad:

Big match from a personal point of view for Fantasy football, one of the cash leagues I am in finishes this game week.

Really dont know how to call this game though. It could be a groundbreaker for LFC or it could be the usual (this past 18 months) result.
Sitting on the fence like a fox on this one.

PHB

Could Kelly play CB, with Agger on the left?

whatawaster

I'm going to say it before Eagle Eye: If Roy picked that team he'd be slated.

It's certainly not the team i would have picked, but in truth what matters is how aggressive we play, how high up the pitch we press and how we intend to pass the ball. I do hope, if anyone, it's Lucas playing the higher of the three. Break up the Pucas as much as possible

NoelJ

Could they be playing 3 Centre backs, 5 in midfield and 2 up front?

Thats the only way I can see that team lining up without Johnson on the left and Meriles on the right.

DrumSteve

433 apparently

Much more likely that it will be Kelly at LB with Agger in his best position of CB.

Kelly has played in both full back slots for the ressies and for the first team.

Oh dear...

Where is Babel?

super_furry

Off playing with his LEEEEGO!

billymitchell

From BBC, the last time a Kenny lost a league match in charge of Liverpool was December 1990, an unbeaten record lasting over 20 years.

Bounty Hunter

not a Liverpool fan but the only team that makes sense to me looking at that lineup is

---

Reina

---

Johnson---Kelly--Skrtel----Agger

---Meirleles--Poulsen--Lucas

Kuyt

---

Jovanovic

Torres

Switch Agger and Kelly and it makes sense. Sort of.

MR NINE

I hate that line up. A severe lack of creativity.

Also, seems strange Babels nowhere to be seen, he looked decent on Sunday.

mike65

Kenny D said that he'd be giving everyone a chance, clean slate and all that so I guess this is as good a game as any for him to see what "the unmentionables" can do with a change of broom.

Re Babel, he has been linked with Leverkusen or Hoffenheim (I forget which)

ollie1

Is the match not on TV?

Nope only on the interweb.


Is anyone else really excited for this game?

Raskolnikov

That to me looks more 451 than 433. Anyway, I'm not quite sure what other option Kenny has, it's not exactly like there are players who have justification for starting.

Fromvert

Whichever way this team lines up, I don't like that starting 11.

Is Babel being punished or what?

The Rooster

Johnson has a better left foot than Kelly. Really hope Johnson is LB, leave Kelly in his more comfortable position

Raskolnikov

Yep, 2 goals in 14 games isn't good enough.

ctrl-alt-delete

Am gonna go for a Blackpool win tonight, with the DJ getting the all important goal.

ShaneU

Lots of people saying they don't like the starting 11 without suggesting who they would like to see playing instead, it's not as if there's an abundance of creative players on the bench..

joe123

Oh Jesus.....horrible team we are sending out. Hopefully the tactics won't be as bad as the selection. No long ball for a start would be nice. Can't believe that fool poulson is in the team and no babel or Pacheco is very dissapointing

Leiva

Is a real "last chance saloon" team ..seems Kenny is giving a couple a last chance to prove their worth .

I'd say we will be using all 3 subs pretty quick thus evening .

Sappy404

So long as Poulsen is under strict instructions to win the ball and give it to someone creative, I don't mind him being there. I don't think Jovanovic would be on the pitch if it wasn't a 4-3-3, which will be interesting.

For the record, I think Agger LB (he's played there this season) Johnson RB (because he's a RB) and Kelly at CB which is his standard position, though he's deputised for Johnson more than played there in the first team.

joe123

Just dawned where is Joe cole? Not on the bench either? This is all very strange!

Mister men

Liverpool to win 6-1. Poulson with a brace.
