great news..!! A word of caution- Do choose ur team wisely this time. We need a win, No excuses or moaning about playing well but result not in our favour. YNWA..!!!
"A win against an improving Arsenal side would be a great confidence boost ahead of the City game and Europa League matches. Heads up and go for all 3 points!"
"Good luck boys!! Do your best. Ever since Man U stuck 2 fingers up at the FA cup to go and play the World Club Championship in 1999/2000, I never really felt the same about the competition anyway...."
"If we leave Coates borini and Allen at home we may have a chance,with regards for not a must win....yes it is... If we want to save yet another poor season,you owe the fans a positive result and performance especially the ticket prices at the emirates and I will be one of them"
"Enrique and Johnson coming back is great news... Due to the importance of their roles in BR's system I wonder if it's an area he'll seek to strengthen in the summer? I think we need some experienced cover."
"Thank god.
If I have to put up with another hapless display by Andre Wisdom again, I will surely need psychiatric help.
Brad Jones needs an operation to replace the feathery skin sack located above his wrist with hands. Can the man hold on to a ball? "
"It is a must win game.If we don't win ANY hope of a top 4 finish is gone,IMO. Give Arsenal space and they will destroy us,we must play at a high tempo,if we do we will win."
"Im getting a bit tired of hearing this players atude line. If they are not prepared to run through brick walls and nasty challenges I dont want them in a red shirt , I dont want triers ,I want winners. The season is far enough gone now to know who will fight and who will not ,all you have to do as manager is make sure you have them on the pitch all at the same time!"
"just read in D.Mail Pep Guardioli to be handed £240 mill to build team he wants.No.1 target?? SUAREZ..and falcauo...hope we do finish half decent this season or like it or not Louis may have his head turned..No signing just younsters for Bayern! Also Brendan im a Fan and your comment at 2pm ref its not a Must win for us re Arsenal.. id beg to differ!!"
"Good news from the infirmary! Please BR, play the most compeive XI you can! My line-up for Wednesday clash: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Lucas, Hendo, Gerrard, Downing, Sterling, Suarez. As subs: Jones, Wisdom, Carra, Allen, Shelvey, Sturridge, Suso.
Best of luck lads!! YNWA"
"yesterday told us a lot. Allen, Borini and Coates are not up to it. the same might be said of our manager and his assistant. why did they wait so long in the game to make the urgent changes needed.it was clear after 20 mins that we were very very poor. Fed up. "
"very good news that these 3 could be back on Weds night, on top form they are top class payers.. we need to have a settled first 11 sorted out asap so we can push for a top 4 place now. i would say play Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson and Downing in midfield with Sturridge and Suarez up front. Arsenal are dodgy at the back so we need to get at them and control the midfield..
"
"im confused by BR statement i wouldnt say its a must win game of course this is a must win game Brendan i think you need to start to think about what you say"
"Great to see them returning and hopefully back to there best! Full strength squad for this one, Sturridge and Suarez hopefully will do well, we need a win. YNWA"
"good news we need these players back..I think we need to 3 more players..A very good playmaker(hoping coutinho is it),good DM (mvilla or alonso back,lucas needss to step up game) and needs players in form and adding an experience winger keyplayer would be good we missed sneijder"
"Bad day at the oiffice. Never mind we are a young team with new ideas and we will have more. What i like is they way we bounce back after loosing. Hopefully arsen-oles and manchity think we'll be easy. In BR i trust!"
"could it be that br has discovered that the players he was in a hurry to sell earlier in the season are now his first choice. many of the young lads have been great but now we need to play our best eleven every game in the league as euro football is very important to revenue's"
"if coates is no good,why was he brilliant v man city earlier in the season? he just needs matches instead of bringing on cara for 10mins when we have a lead to get his number of games up(sorry jamie) SC Should be getting game time."
"If we dont win on Wednesday, then we can kiss top four goodbye.It's a must win. We have not challenged the top four teams of the table this season. The only positive results are the draws in stanford bridge and against city at home.Need to do better"
"dhd....... your so stupid, why would he say that its a must win game, that just puts pressure on himself and the team. Some of you need to get a brain and dont believe everything u read. This is why he is manager and you are sitting at home picking your ar*e*"
"Brender rondgers! Every game is very important to us the fans of liverpoolfc.BD stop playing games with liverpoolfc please. How could a manager gambled with FA cup that we need so much. And stop using younger team to play our cup game. Our defeat is brender rondgers fault."
"All LFC fans need to decide whether we need to win every game, at all cost...or give our young lads a chance to gain much needed experience. You're casting BR in this nasty viscious web and the fact that B.Jones messed up against Oldham wasn't BR's fault...was it? Wake up! Support our club, manager and lads...or take a hike!"
"GLAD TO SEE REINA, JOHNSON, AGGER AND ENRIQUE BACK AS YESTERDAY'S DEFEENDING WAS SHAMBOLIC, TOO MANY 'ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN'. IF YOU CAN'T DEFEND YOU WON'T WIN GAMES AND CERTAINLY WON'T WIN TROPHIES. COME ON YOU MIGHTY REDS !!!!!"
"This is a huge game! I cannot further stress the importance of getting a good result. I'd probably take a win against Arsenal over a win against Oldham. If we beat them then we are right in the fight for 4th spot. If we lose then we can pretty much say we are out of it.
Strong team: Reina - Johnson - Carragher - Agger - Enrique - Lucas - Henderson - Gerrard - Downing - Sturridge - Suarez
"
"This game could easily to be the most important one in this part of the season.Why?If we are capable to beat Arsenal away,we are good enough for 4th place.This game will determine rest of the season,so put the REAL first line on the pitch,B.R.Fingers crossed.YNWA>"
"bill shankly would of said its a tough game for arsenal having to meet liverpool who at this moment are like a wounded lion very dangerous animal come on lads you are the best ynwa"
"I think it's time to dispense with 4-3-3 and try another option or Arsenal will steam roll us on a large Emirates pitch. Stop playing Suarez deeper and deeper as well, get 4 across the middle of the park for strength, creativity for the attack and provide protection to the back 4. Sturridge and Suarez 2 up top. "
"Every game is a must win!! Feeling confident ahead of this one, our league form is good and their form is inconsistent, we need to beat a top 10 club though...."
"The trio returning will boost the squad experience without a doubt. It may not guarantee a win, but they should be prepared for this game (& all the rest) as if it was a cup final. Just show the PL what you can do guys & strike fear into all opposition."
"come on you reds. payback time. hope we get the 3pts which we are well capable of doing. prefer 4-4-2 with luis and D.S upfront. pleased to have jose and glen back and No1 pepe. and agger, come on redmen. 3pts please. still love LFC no matter what. YNWA"
"Good to hear that the men are back and the boys can watch and learn. Mentality is key. Liverpool sides have not had the mental edge for way too long."
"THE ONE AND ONLY CARRA will start on Wednesday. a win is in the bag! any one that doesn't like or think he is DESPERATELY needed is not a Liverpool fan, cause you must not know much about anything, lol. we need him coaching the kids now!!!"
"There is no room for error or poor team selection against A. It is a must win game if we are to keep up the illusion that we can finish top four.my heart tells a different story than my head this season.BR needs to step his game up big time before I will start to believe in him."
"Well, that is great news. Pepe is back. Brad is a bit inconsistent. Let's hope we can snatch the 3 points and move towards the 4th place. For me, this is a must win game. We have not beaten any of the big clubs yet since the start of the season. We have to stake the claim as we are not a weak team. We are just inconsistent. "
"If ever there WAS a must win game this is it. It'll pile the pressure on them as we overtake them for a CL spot. If we draw, they'll feel they have survived our assault and get strength from it. A win would demoralize them."
"we need a very strong,big, bleak men on the middle,to stop powerful"rugby" players like benteke,felainy,and cople of stoke players.then we can bay rayan showkross from there,foster/Celtic goalkeeper/

"Is there still anyone out there that thinks that Buck Rogers is a great manager? KD got his r$e kicked despite winning one trophy and making the final of another...both of which we've already been eliminated from.
Where to from here Buck? Need another 3 years to sort out your 'project'?"
