Liverpool Football Formation

Lineup (4-3-3)

Carling Cup vs. WBA
Reina - 1st team keeper, needs more game time to hopefully sort out his early season poor form.

Wisom - With Kelly injured and Wisdom's solid performance in the Europa League, I think he deserves a start in the Carling Cup. If not Wisdom, then play Flanagan.

Coates/Carragher - To rest Skrtel and give Coates more experience. Carragher will use his experience and leadership to help the young defenders.

Enrique - Needs gametime to improve his form and rest Glen Johnson.

Henderson - Played well in the Europa and deserves time in the Carling Cup. Also will allow Allen to rest for the PL.

Sahin - Needs more time on the pitch to gel with the team and gain match fitness.

Suso - 18 year old performed well in Europa and made his PL debut against ManU. Could use the Carling Cup to gain confidence and experience.

Sterling - One of the best players of the season so far for LFC and with a lack of options on the wings, especially with Borini injured, not a whole lot of choices other than to play him.

Suarez - Not ideal, would prefer to rest him. However, with Borini likely out, there are no other stiker options. Unless Rodgers decides to go with a young Adam Morgan, Yesil, or Ngoo.

Downing - Due to lack of options, Downing needs to play in the Carling Cup to hopefully improve form and gain confidence, as well as rest other players for the PL.
