    JT wanna keep his legs closed against Suarez. Was it a hat-trick of nutmegs last game?

    It's other people's wives keeping their legs closed that occupies JT's mind.

    One thing that baffles me. Would Chelsea not be better with Ivanovic at CB and Luiz at RB?

    I remember being really impressed with Luiz at RB when liverpool played Benfica a few years ago.

    He seems like a bit of a liability in CB.

    LB.

    He was superb when he played there against us.

    Glen Johnson is fit, Rodgers has just confirmed.

    Massive, massive boost. He's been sorely missed the last couple of weeks. Will be interesting if he goes Johnson (RB) and Enrique (LB) because that will be (correct me if I'm wrong) the first time the two have played at the same time all season.

    I fancy us to score in this. Chelsea are rightly favourites though. But I wouldn't rule us out.

    Just as we are capable of drawing with the worst teams in this league, we are also capable of beating the best.

    Expecting a good game anyway.

    I dont rate Ivan as a CB at all, not fond of him at RB either if I'm honest.

    I would rather play Cahill and JT if it meant moving Luiz to RB, it would be like Ramos, free him of some defensive liability while still playing him.

    But then playing JT against Suarez is asking for trouble, Suarez is intellegent enough to know JT is as slow as a wet week and he'll be turned all day.

    Maybe a counter attack option woudl suit us for this game.

    You serious about Ivan?????

    Yup. Hes not had enough games for us at CB to be thrown in there over Cahill/Luiz/JT.

    At RB hes a decent option but thats down to the fact he has no competition either.

    Hes a trier and always battles and chips in with the odd goal bit hes a limited FB IMO.

    I know your a big Luiz fan but the lad is a liability , Suarez will make mince of him , Jumping in on every bloody challenge , he is a book thats been well red, and I fancy a peno from a Suarez /Luiz incident.

    Give me a good solid performance from Ivan any day of the week , we have plenty up top without the need for Luiz to be marauding forward .

    For Me the back line should be

    RB : Ivan RCB : Cahill LCB : Terry : Bertie (since cole is out )

    Mikel will have a big part to play in this game , he needs to breaking up play and providing cover for Terry , Allowing Rambo to set the tempo form the middle of the park .

    Oscar to do something magnificent because the Kid is bloody amazing :D

    Can't see anything else other than a comprehensive Chelsea win, 4-1 being my guess; the gulf in class being evident.

    Along comes one of those rare occasions where I'm hoping for a Liverpool win.
    Can't see it at Stamford Bridge to be honest.
    If Liverpool are to get anything out of this they will need to score 2 or 3 imo.
    I reckon Chelsea will concede but will have far too much from midfield to up front to come out with anything less than 3 points.

    Should be a good game! Huge boost with Johnson returning. Reckon well get caught on the counter with the 3 boyzzzz in behind Torres. Will be a good few goals me thinks

    Draw 2 - 2, and Mr P. Power is getting my money to that effect. Happily lose the money to see a Chelsea win though.

    3-2 to the Blues.
    Torres to score and have it disallowed.

    It's going to be tight, but I expect Liverpool to come through with the victory. 2-1 for me. Suarez and Skrtel to get a goal each.

    Had a dream we were 1-0 up for most of the game and comfortable but then Torres scored a wonder goal in the last minute off his left foot to even it up

    I can believe the first part, but seriously, the second part is pure fantasy!

    Johnson back for Liverpool is massive, it really is. He was sorely missed in the last few games. Provides a fantastic option going forward as well as being extremely solid at the back.

    The worry today is the rumour that Skrtel is out so will be replaced by Carragher. I'd worry about a defence that could well include Carra and Wisdom in a back three. Agger will have to shoulder a lot of the responsibility regarding Torres, and then having the likes of Mata, Hazard and Oscar attacking us as well we could be in for a bad day defensively tbh.

    Enrique will really have to step up his game also if we are going to take anything from this.

    Think there's to many IFs from a Liverpool perspective, Chelsea to win this at least 2-1 IMO, unfortunately.
