Im really worried about this fixture:

Burnley are sitting with a big chunk of their team and they training hard for the two weeks, as for liverpool players, they scatterd all around the world. Damn and our two south american midfielders, i dont know if we will have them back in time...

Im not afraid of Burnley, just worried.... anyone can arrange a sick note for some of our players?

but isnt Lucas pure rubbish, he couldnt possibly be in the Brazilian squad could he!!! i am sure the the great Anderson who cost almost 3 times as much is on their squad too, because after all fergie never makes a bad signing only our manager does that

yeah it might be difficult to have mach and lucas back alrigh but aruelio could be back for burnley, he could start in center midfield like he done a few times last season

or he could give the young lad spearing a chance. wouldnt bet against plessis playing alongside gerrard.

Fabio could play in that role but he's just back from injury so i don't think Rafa will be playing him "out of position" in his first game in a long time. I would like to see either Spearing or Plessis, but i think that at least one of Lucas and Masch will be ready for this game. Gerrard will probably be playing a bit further down with Yossi in front of him...

There is a group of fans that hate lucas nad say he is not worth the shirt he wears.

I dont recall saying that, what i did say was that he aint have the stomach and he seems nervous, shakey and he cant handle the pressure. He has been selected for the brazilian team. yea

injun joe. where in my message did i mention your name?? whee did i say that you hate Lucas, calm down man!!

:)nope, you didnt, but it says RE:iNJUN jOE,i thought it was a direct response:)

well EMP, this is new view coming from you. i think we will see plessis in this game

Liverpool

Rafa Benitez must decide if Javier Mascherano and Lucas Leiva can face Burnley, with the pair not due back in Liverpool until Friday.

Both midfielders have been with their nationals teams for South American World Cup qualifiers and now face exhausting journeys back to Merseyside ahead of Saturday's visit of the Clarets.

Mascherano is making a 6,000 mile journey home from Argentina's match in Paraguay, while Lucas faces a similar length trip after being part of the Brazil squad for their clash in Chile.

Both players won't get back to Melwood until Friday afternoon and with the Reds facing six games in 17 days, there is every chance Benitez may decide to start them on the bench this weekend.

Benitez could drop skipper Steven Gerrard back into the centre of midfield, with either Damien Plessis or Jay Spearing the other options in the middle of the park.

I like Plessis, but like i said to you guys, im not very easy for this fixture, i think this could be a banana skin if we aint carful and if we aint have luck on our side. yea
