i'm so ready for this match...the season will finally officially begin.

so are there any press reports out on Liverpool's potential line-up?

i hope that it is:

Dudek

Babbel, Henchoz, Hyypia, Riise

Gerrard, Hamman, Cheyrou, Murphy

Owen, Diouf

I would bet a fair amount of money that we're going to see the Community Shield line-up.

You really think we'll see the three-striker again? I suppose it's possible. Personally, I think Gerard just trotted out that lineup hoping for lots of goals to entertain the crowd. Or possibly as an experiment (one that didn't seem to work, in my opinion). But maybe it'll just take some time to jell.

I don't like it, but I do feel like we're going to see it again, especially when you consider the personnel available- I think it's a matter of just trying to get the best players (who are actually match fit) on the pitch.

I'm not sure I believe Houllier would've put anything other than the team he thought could beat Arsenal in the CS.

I found these rosters on Sky Sports's website for the match. I think they are the right ones, but I'm not certain. Oh well, here they are.

Aston Villa (from): Enckelman, Postma, Delaney, Staunton, Alpay, Mellberg, Samuel, Barry, De la Cruz, Hendrie, Hitzlsperger, Moore, Hadji, Boulding, Crouch, Vassell, Allback, Dublin.

Liverpool (from): Dudek, Xavier, Henchoz, Hyypia, Riise, Traore, Murphy, Gerrard, Hamann, Smicer, Diouf, Baros, Babbel, Carragher, Cheyrou, Diao, Heskey, Owen, Kirkland.

Diouf's been very impressive so far, but just got booked in what the Liverpool commentator called "a joke of a call." Still no score.

damn, I thought it was an 11et kick off.


1-0 Liverpool, Riise with the goal.
