"Lets bring Michael Owen back. He is one of us and he is currently in limbo. He performs best in the Liverpool shirt. He made a sad mistake when he left for Real Madrid but if he rejoins us, his season will come alive once more. Please bring him back to end his playing career with the club he loves."
"Great to hear the G man is back, pity though it is an away game and we all know what happens next.
All the best to the Red family for the new year. Am off to Afhganistan soon so will miss the banter Keep telling it as it is finn scouse."
"My concern bringing either back is the pitch. If it freezes during the game and becomes a difficult surface, I don't want either tweaking injuries that have just recovered. Danny has been missed and we desperately need him fit for the rest of the season. He is the future with Danny Wilson of our Double Dan Defense."
"Time to have some fun pairing up names. In additon to DoubleDan in the center of defense, wide back we have Faujo. Controllig the middle it's Mucas. On the flanks we have Coxi. And up front it's Torrard. Merry Christmas."
"Who is saying play Skrtel???? Seriously!!!! I mean come on!! Play Agger & Wilson!! The young lad was one of the only performers against Utrecht and deserves his chance! The team should be Reina, Kelly, Agger, Wilson, Aurelio, Kuyt, Gerrard, Meireles or Lucas, Cole, Torres, Babel. "
"Reina-Johnson-Skrtel-Kyrgiakos-Aurelio-Kuyt-Lucas-Meireles-Maxi-Gerrard-Torres.bring Joe Cole,Agger and Babel also to play..we can win this game..we definitely need to improve our away record!!1 win,2 draws and 5 defeats??....In Roy and NESV i trust"
"Glad to hear that Agger is back for this game but I agree with others that we shouldnt rush him back and risk further injury. he been sorely missed. Have a safe Xmas and New Year marineLFC, I know what you are going through pal, I spent last Xmas over there.
"
"we have to play this team vs blackpool if we wna win:
Reina
Johnson-Skrtel-Agger-Aurellio
Kuyt-Meireles-Gerrard-Maxi
Torres-Babel
but knowing roy he'll play konchesky n'gog and kyrgiakos :(
"
"To MarineLFC - good luck on your tour of duty - you do us proud. Gerrard and Agger straight back in with Aurellio playing. Play Gerrard up top with Torres with Cole and Kuyt either side. Lets go for the jugular, we are Liverpool........"
"Definitely! Agger and Skrtl perhaps or Agger and Soto. Gerrard is obviously a must play, hard to pick who partners him out of Lucas who is playing really well or Meireles who's awesome performing. Maybe all 3 but without putting Meireles wide."
"Good both are avaiable. Only with the number of games coming up in a short time, players will need resting. None of the teams will name the same 11 for all 4.
Players returning from injury can't play so much so soon, so probably best to have them on bench against Blackpool, bring them on second half."
"What would be even better news is Rafa Benitez to return. It would be like having all my x-mas presents for the rest of my life in one go. BRING BACK RAFA"
"Its time to say goodbye to Konchesky and Poulsen....My team would be GK-Reina,RB-Johnson,CB-Soto,CB-Skrtel,LB-Aurelio,DMF-Lucas,RMF-Miereles,LMF-Cole or Maxi,AMF-Gerrard,ST-Torres,ST-Jova or Babel.Bench Jones,Agger,Kelly,Dani Pachecho,Jonjo or Cole or Maxi,Ngog,Babel or Jova..As long as Roy dont go there to defend it would be good..."
"i wouldnt let either of the 2 play in a frozen pitch, its an injury risk, Best to put them on the bench and use them only if necessary.
I hope this game is postoned BTW , its an injury risk."
"Yes to playing both. Also please play Fabio at left back or young Wilson or Kelly or the coach driver. Anyone except Konch. As to the person who said bring back Mo, no way, he wanted to be a manc let him rot there.But knowing Roy he will play Stevie at CB and Dagger up front on his own? "
"I'm the supporter of LFC from the hurt.I wish all the best for my club forever.I'll continue supporting the club until i die.With the help of God we will have got a success.I have a special thanks for Gerrard for his contribution."
"SDKN
I agree! Although he could only be a sub, but you never know. The best striker in the Slovenian league (not Slo, just the league, which is not that bad (bout the level of 2nd English)) is waaaaaaaay over 40"
"I am worried about Blackpool's pitch. Although this would have to be playable at the start of the game, it might well have frozen by the end. In normal cirstances I would play both but would a pitch like this be harmful to players coming back - especially a calf injury?"
"Great news!! Guys with heart and skill like those two are certainly welcome back. Would like to see Agger eased back into the starting XI over a couple of weeks so he dosn't break again. By far the best CB we have."
"Definitely. Agger is our best defender next to Carragher. As Carra is out, then I would go 4-3-3: Reina, Aurelio, Agger, Kyrgiakos, Johnson, Cole, Meireles, Gerrard, Maxi, Torres, Kuyt."
"marineLFC - cheers la!!.Good to have your support...take it easy out there in the wild country..Afghanistan...
The Russians had a tough time out there a couple of decades ago...I for one wish you safety and best wishes out there and want to say many of us DO respect the tough job you and all the other forces are doing out there...YNWA"
"for me, it's agger and skrtel at the back. ayala and wilson to be brought in gradually. i think we look good in central defence. bring in charles nzogbia, who's also an option at leftback. oh, and ease in agger gradually. say half a game."
"I would be tempted to play them both even though Agger has been out for so long. At least he can bring the ball out and commits their midfield. Why not use Gerrard wide right as Rafa used to very effectively? Still go 2 up front and give us more attacking feel - anything but the tripe we've been playing!!"
"Aggers return is a much needed boost for the team.We need a Hyppia type of player in our Defence.Cara,Skirtel and soto are very similar in play and should all be competing for one position.In fact we seiously need a another Hyppia or Hansen type defender as backup for Agger."
"yes i would play strongest team possible if we loose 1 of next 3 games champions league is gone to be honest if we cant beat blackpool i wudn like to see us in champions league getn drubbed"
"I think Gerrard should play 90 minutes since his absence was not that long...I don't know if Agger is match fit to play for 90 minutes;it would be nice..I'd rather see him play than Skrtel."
"Thank God...and please use Agger and Skrtel as CB's, Johnson and Aurelio. Then Kuyt, Raul Meireles, Lucas and Joe Cole. Gerrard and Torres...pretty much amazing. Joe Cole needs to play more."
"I would love to see the heart and the best defender in the squad back..I would like to see them in CENTRAL MIDIFIELD AND CENTRE BACK POSITIONS... I REPEAT CENTRAL MIDIFIELD AND CENTRE BACK POSITION RESPECTIVELY ..."
"Blackpool don't play hoof ball. We don't need Soto who has no pace. We need Agger & Skrtel for this game. Would love to see Kelly and Wilson get game time in CD. For the future. Kelly as well as he has done at RB, is a better CD. Fact."
"Agger may have to wait his turn despite being passed fit, although believe he is are best centre back at the club. On another issue is Samba from Blackburn an option in the January transfer window now he has declared his interest in leaving them?"
"Play Agger and gerrard in a 3-5-2 formation as follows: Reina-Kyrgiakos-Skrtel-Agger-Johnson-Meireles-Lucas-Gerrard-Maxi-Babel-Torres
Subs: Jones-Jovanovic-Kelly-Shelvey-Ngog-Pacheco-Poulsen"
"Reina, Johnson agger skrtel aurelio, kuyt gerrard meireles maxi, Torres babel
Finally we've got a chance to see what skrtel and agger can do when given a run together in defence without carragher"
"My team for the festive period is: KEEPER: REINA, DEFENCE: JOHNSON, AGGER, SKRTEL,KYRIAGOS. MIDFIELD: KUYT, MAXI,GERRARD,COLE. STRIKERS: TORRES,NGOG, with a prediction of a 2-0 win at Blackpool on Boxing Day,and 3-0 win at Wolves on 29th"
"Iwould play them 2 in every game as far as I am concerned there is nobody better in there positions so roy get your thinking head on and your blinkers of and play them both ok"
