Liverpool v Udinese 
Liverpool face Italian side Udinese at Anfield tonight in the Europa League Group stages, round two.
Brendan Rodger's side have already beaten Young Boys of Berne 5-3 while Udinese and FC Anzhi both played out a 1-1 draw in their opening game in September's opening games.
Although Udinese currently lie in 16th in the Seri A with six points from 6 games, they did beat AC Milan during that time, so they must be seen as a dangerous animal, especially with veteran forward Antonio Di Natalie in their ranks.
Liverpool Manager is again likely to re-shuffle his ranks from Saturday's commanding win over Norwich.
I think Luis Suarez and Daniel Agger to be rested along with José Reina and maybe Nuri Sahin for this physical tie.
Jonjoe Shelvey should return to the side as his three-match ban does not cover European games.
3-1 to the Reds
This can't be the starting XI, Downing in the first team? I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteI reckon Brendan Rodgers will give Downing one last chance to prove himself and its also a chance to put him in the shop-window for other clubs to buy him in January.
ReplyDeleteMy lineup would be:
ReplyDeleteJones
Flanno - Carra - Coates - Robbo (Downing)
Henderson (Conor Coady)
Shelvey - Pachecho
Suso - Borini (Yesil) - Assaidi
Bench: Gerrard, Skrtel, Suarez, Downing, Sahin, Wisdom
The match Vs. Young Boys ended 5-3 and not 5-1.
