Viva el Jan Molby: I SEE THE FUTURE

Looking into my magic crystal ball the Liverpool team for tomorrow will be:

Reina,
Finnan, Carragher, Agger, Riise
Benayoun, Mascherano, Alonso, Babel
Voronin, Torres

I've probably thought way too hard about this and made way too many changes. Benayoun's agent apparently said he may have to look for another club as he's not playing, so that probably means he'll get a start. Babel cost £11 million and he hasn't started a game yet and if he can't get a start against Sunderland when is he ever gonna get a start? But he played mid-week for Holland so that may go against him.

I don't think they'll risk Gerrard so hopefully Mascherano takes his place and not Sissoko. Even worse Rafa better not pick Mascherano and Sissoko, which would be ultra defensive when hopefully there's no need to be.

Up front I originally went for Voronin and Crouch but then I opted for Torres because he's our main man and he should be given a run of games to help settle into the team/country/league/second coming expectations of the fans.

Arbeloa's been playing really well at left back but Riise seems to somehow always find a place in the team, even if he was last seasons most consistently below average player. Maybe they'll rest Finnan for the mid-week game against Toulose and play Arbeloa at right back. Maybe Hyypia will play. Maybe Gerrard will get another injection for his toe and play, but end up having to get a prosthetic foot like Kerry Von Erich. Who knows who Benitez will pick. I KNOW FOR I HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL AND WAS TAUGHT IN THE BLACK ARTS BY GEOFFREY DURHAM AKA GREAT SOPRENDO.
