Attack, attack, attack. Fulham are fairly solid at home (and have just drawn with the gunners), so it won't be easy. So we need to outpossess them in order to mask the weakness left behind by Lucas.

I cant believe a LFC fan would post something like this. Gerrard has been our top player for the last decade. He has single-handedly dragged us through matches most noteably a champions league final amongst others. he in my opinion was the reason we got so much out of torres and has been our creative presence and a true LFC great. All players get injured, some for long periods of time and while we all know he is getting older he still may offer us loads both on the playing field and off. To describe him as a burden is incorrect and downright disrespectful to a man who gave everything for the shirt and when came to crunch time turned down almost certain medals and offers from chelsea amongst others to play for us

Gerrard is a legend for the club. But he's going on 32 and has made 6 starts in 11 months. I wouldn't throw him out the door just yet, but he needs to start showing that his body can handle it. So I disagree that he's a "burden", but he's as useful to us as some claim Andy Carroll is - and that is a problem. Sometimes you have to be ruthless...

He's injured, it happens to every player. I don't get the ruthless claim. What are you proposing? He's only 31 and could have a couple of more years left in him. Every injured player is useless to us on the field. The same could be said about Lucas for the next few months but its nonsensical to say so. 31 is towards the end of his career but why would he be finished just because he has a lay off

Even against Fulham we need a holdng player so I would play 4-3-3 with:

GL Reina
RB Johnson
CB Skrtel
CB Agger
LB Jose Enrique
RM Henderson
DM Spearing
LM Adam
RF Bellers
ST Suarez
LF Maxi

That's a shocking thing for any real Liverpool fan to say

He's onky early 30s FFS and he's done so much for the club that he could never be described as a burden

He has a couple more seasons at least

Ridiculously short sighted and just stupidity.

would be very happy with tht

6 starts in 11 months due to injury happens to every player? Sorry, mate, but that's only in a league of Aurelio's.

The "ruthless" part was that Gerrard can no longer claim to have a place in the side - he must show he has what it takes to be number 1 in his position, that he can still produce the goods on demand. I guess the injury to Lucas changes that to a degree, but if the club needs to manage Gerrard's fitness then he needs to understand that there are games he will be overlooked even if he thinks he's fit. The same applies to Carragher.

Most seem to agree Maxi has earned another start. Fulham have been playing very good defensive football under Jol as of late. We may have to win a 1-0 thriller. lol
