Liverpool v Young Boys 8 pm (ITV4)

mike65

Tonight Liverpool can qualify for the knock out stages of the Europa League if they beat Young Boys and Anzhi Makhachkala beat or draw with Udinese.
Brendan Rodgers indicated that he will pick a strong side but so far everyone seems to think the big guns will be on the bench rather than starting.

Guardian guessed line ups

Liverpool probable 4-2-3-1

Reina; Wisdom, Coates, Carragher, Downing; Henderson, Sahin; Cole, Suso, Assaidi; Shelvey.

Young Boys probable 4-1-4-1

Wolfli; Sutter, Nef, Veskovac, Lecjaks; Zverotic; Zarate, Schneuwly, Farnerud, Nuzzolo; Bobadilla.

ITV4 are showing this but as far as I can tell no Irish channel is.

young boys v young boys

Morzadec

Probably some value in a draw or Young Boys win with that lineup.

We should still have enough about us to get it done, especially with the likes of Sterling and Suarez on the bench as game changers, but I'd prefer a slightly less risky first XI when we know a win should probably put us through.

7/2 Draw
7/1 Young Boys Win

Crash Bang Wall

Echo saying Skrtel in for Coates

Leiva

7/2 for a draw looks tasty.

Really hope Pacheco gets a start. Watched him against Chelsea and he was impressive yet again.

How can ITV4 be blocked? It's not even recognised on the sky epg without the card trick. Oh wait, you mean on upc? Do they block even though it's a free to air channel?

Yeah UPC block it as ITV didn't buy the Irish rights. Anyone with Sky can watch it on the sky additional channels

If Anzhi win, then we only need to beat the Young Boys and we should progress.

Pacheco will be playing for the under-21's tomorrow and not tonight.

A draw will do for us to (in the Anzhi game), provided we win. It's a very nice position to be in considering we've lost 2 of our 4 games. we really should be qualifying tonight.

I find it funny that in the hours after the loss to Anzhi, Liverpool were described on BBC sport as being in 'precarious position' with their Europa League hopes 'hanging in the balance.'

Anyone who had studied the table could see we were still in an excellent position because of Udinese losing to Young Boys.

Now BBC's line is that we are in a 'strong position to qualify' yet nothing has changed!

Francie Barrett

Anzhi 2-0 up. Realistically, we only need to win here to go through.

klose

If we won 5-3 with a very second string team in berne we should be able to beat them here with a stronger 2nd team with better players on the bench should things go tits up.


All that being said joe cole is playing so were effectively playing with ten men

jenno86

#LFC team v Young Boys: Reina, Wisdom, Downing, Carragher, Skrtel, Suso, Sahin, Henderson, Assaidi, Cole, Shelvey.

jenno86

#LFC subs v Young Boys: Jones, Enrique, Coates, Gerrard, Allen, Sterling, Suarez.

Francie Barrett

Other than Joke Cole being in there, happy enough with that team.

5starpool

No strikers, and Joe Cole. Why ffs? I can see Suarez being needed for us to score in the second half.

Leiva

Interesting to see which Sahin & Jonjo show up tonight.

If both play to their strengths then this could be over by half time.

Turtyturd

Shelvey up top should suit him as he won't need to chase back. 2-0, Joe Cole brace in the first ten minutes before he 'pulls his hamstring'.

Fizman

I'd prefer if Coates was playing instead of one of the starting CBs. He needs games if he is to get any rhythm going at all.

barone

mon the reds

I can't believe Brendan would unleash the Cockney Messi on young boys thats seems very harsh .

jurahnimoh

Does anyone have a link to stream this please? I can't get filmon to work

Francie Barrett

Shelvey playing as striker.

mike65

Anzhi win so a win here and both are through with a game to spare.

Francie Barrett

Wisdom needs to wake up, two bad errors in 60 seconds.

applehunter

Suarez in the form of his life and he is on the bench.

Why would you play Shelvey up front with that option available?

missingtime

Saheeeeen is turkish, no?

We have 4 games in 10 days. Ne needs a rest.

Stevecw

Good stuff by Assiadi there, just pity we don't have a forward playing

Leiva

It's a delight to see Sahin in his proper position.

If this keeps up like this it cold end up 10-10 :eek:

retalivity

how people still cant find a stream in this day and age is beyond me...

Stevecw

Henderson giving the ball away a bit too often

monkey9

Assaidi is as tricky as long division

Francie Barrett

This game won't be anywhere as easy as the bookies odds are suggesting.

Fowler87

Good enough for ya. Wont try that again!

Morzadec

It never was going to with that line-up. It's a risk.

Put Suarez in for Cole and suddenly we look like big favourites.

Francie Barrett

Joe fuggin' Cole wrecked that move.

passremarkable

assaidi is not bad...he should just keep doing what hes doing.
a centre forward would be nice though

Morzadec

Assaidi really must be a nightmare for a fullback.

Ca't understand how he hasn't been given a game in the Premier League, he looks to have so much about him

Leiva

£3 million quid

smileyj1987

joe cole has played well so far , I'm serious by the way

MyBrokenKnees

Question is there anyone left who thinks Joe Cole is a top class player still?

I don't by the way..

passremarkable

dont care he should have scored

Francie Barrett

Quality from Shelvey - good attempt from Hendo in fairness.

ollie1

Lovely flick from Shelvey

Fowler87

Ah Hendo!

Grayditch

Unreal flick. Brutal attempt, though.
