LILLE V LIVERPOOL MATCH PREVIEW

                                                             MATCH PREVIEW

only chance of silverware this season in europe's secondary competition while ARSENAL and MAN UTD show classy displays in europe's primary competition seeing them ease into the quarter finals, LIVERPOOL can only watch with envy especially after their latest disaster at WIGAN on monday night.
although 4th place in the league is priority this competition is showing great importance as well because of the lack of silverware in recent years.
there has to be a dramatic improvement on thursday night in LILLE or LIVERPOOL'S season could capitulate in what has been a rollercoaster of a season, but with games running out there is now no margin for error.
excuses there has been for most of the season with the injuries but not now as most of their injuries have cleared up.
LILLE is not the ideal opponent after such a disaster earlier in the week especially with LILLE having a good run of form and fighting for the french league.
INJURIES- BENAYOUN will face a late fitness test after taking a knock on his ankle on monday night.SKRTEL is still out, also AURELIO is out, MAXI is cup tied, but i believe everybody else is available.
                                                                      THE TEAM

GOALKEEPER- REINA
RIGHT BACK- CARRAGHER
LEFT BACK- INSUA
CENTRE BACK- KYRIAGOS
CENTRE BACK- AGGER
LEFT MIDFIELD- BABEL
RIGHT MIDFIELD- KUYT
CENTRE MIDFIELD- LUCAS
CENTRE MIDFIELD- MASCHERANO
CENTRE MIDFIELD(ATTACKING)- GERRARD
CENTRE FORWARD- TORRES
i think there will be one or two changes from monday's team CARRA going back out to right back because i didn't think JOHNSON looked fit when he came on the other night. AGGER partnering KYRIAGOS after recovering from his bruised knee, while MASCHERANO will go back into the middle of midfield where he is at his best, letting GERRARD push further up the park. i think BABEL will come in on the left midfield due to BENAYOUN struggling to be fit and MAXI cup tied.
      KEY PLAYER- GERRARD after monday we need a big performance from our captain to inspire his troops and keep our season alive never have we needed him as much

PREDICTION -      LILLE 1-1 LIVERPOOL
think it will be a very tight game and with TORRES up front i think we'll nick a goal but i think LILLE might score as well so i'll go for the score draw.

  1. I agree that Gerrard is key to us winning tonight but he needs to step up to the plate not like he did against Wigan. He was walking around and there was none of his fight which we've been missing this season

  3. For the sake of Liverpool FC, I hope we go out of the competition to Lille. Winning would only paper over the massive cracks that Benitez is creating. RAFA OUT!!!!!!

  4. Torres should has gained back his sense of goal after scored 2 on Monday night. He will keep scores tonight and brings Liverpool to Europe League quarter final.

    Visitor Lilie are a tough team and greatly perform in this season. However, they are still a level lower compare to Liverpool. In a must win critical situation, I am backing the Reds to win in style.
