Do you reckon Bellamy will start? If we're trying to keep the ball on the deck I think it may good idea since Kuyt will be on the right hand side.

we need carroll in this game; 1. for set-pieces in both boxes, 2. we will need a real presence up-front which neither suarez nor kuyt give us, sadly for hendo after 2 very good goals in a week he will have to be dropped to the bench. always a hard game 3-1 saurez and 2 from carroll.

Why do you think Hendersen will be dropped? Don't think he will.

I agree that we'll need Carroll, probably more in defense. Set pieces, long throws - Stoke's trademarks. For the rest not much change I suspect. Same starting line-up as last time probably, with Carroll in for either Kuyt or Henderson. Carra at RB, not that Skrtel is much better in the air at CB.

Isn't Etherington injured for them? He is normally the source of a lot of their better better crossing so that would be a plus point.
If we keep the ball like we did against Bolton I cannot see why we will have any worse a result, I can see us netting another 3! Suarez is due a cpl of goals after the Bolton game too...he won't want to be that annoyed with himself 2 games running!

we need our bigger more physical players so carroll should come in for him with kuyt playing RM.

Kenny could drop him so I would not be overly surprised but at the moment I think he will start, while Kuyt is upfront or on the bench.

Like everyone has said, stoke away is always a difficult fixture.

I wouldn't drop Hendo he's just getting into the swing of things. I think the team that played Bolton will do the job and bring Carroll on or Bellamy in the 2nd half.

I reckon 3-1 Liverpool

cant believe people think we would start coates a week after signing him against stoke, hes coming from a foreign country not used to the prem. theres no way where going to start him against stoke, i actualy think we wont see him play till the carling cup game against brighton or at least a home game in the prem and a handy 1 at that.

3 nil to reds at least it should be.if all the optomism is to be believed it will be.however im realy unconvinced as yet that the midfield is up to it and just pulling a red shirt on does not suddenly make a poor or average player any better.stoke will know this and should henderson and adam revert to type stoke could well win easily.
