alright i'll do it! here is the thread. here is the likely lineup: jonesjohnson.. skrtel.. agger.. enriquegerrard.. allen.. sahinsuso... suarez.. sterling gul, coates, downing, assaidi, shelvey, henderson, wisdom here is the likely result: good build up play, nice passing, suarez fouled constantly, they score on their first real attack after a poor start, we spend the rest of the match snatching at chances and lose 0-1. we've beaten them a lot lately, so there's that.
We have a knack for beating them lately (sans FA Cup finals) but we also have no luck/help from the refs so who knows?
Well I hope we play as we generally do against big sides. They can be scored upon this year fairly easily. But we give up way too many and their newer, smaller, quicker attackers are very dangerous. This is away so a point would be acceptable but damn it I want to beat them every time. YNWA

Rumoured line-up --------------------------Reina----------------------- ---------Wisdom-------Carragher--------Agger ----Johnson-----Allen----Sahin---Gerrard----Enrique--- -------------------Sterling Suarez-------------------------
Gulacsi, Cole, Assaidi, Henderson, Coates, Downing, Suso. Its actually a really attacking bench... so we're obviously going to get a few defenders injured in the game
Both can play the wing back position. Coates is fine for the middle. Skrtel's ill from what all are saying.
CFC line-up: Cech Azpilicueta - Ivanovic - Terry - Bertrand Ramires - Mikel Hazard - Oscar - Mata Torres Subs: Turnbull, Cahill, Ferreira, Romeu, Marin, Sturridge
I don't think 3 at the back is the way to go against this Chelsea attack. IMO it just leaves more space between the lines for those 3 to occupy. But Rodgers is the Premier League coach here, not me, so I'll reserve my judgement for after the match.
It's funny and yet pathetic at the same time but there is a certain irony in hearing Chelski plastic boys singing 'Luis Suarez we know what you are'. Glass house there boys?
