Think he should drop either Gerrard or Lampard. He doesn't seem scared of upsetting a big name, so think he should just do it. Obviously I'm a Gerrard fan, but to be fair, I'd pick Lampard on current form, and swap them if I needed a change.

Hleb not playing which is good.

Nice goal from Gerrard. Tough decision for Capello.

[Annasfield]

Smashing goal. Shame he missed the sitter.

Like the fella in the pub behind me said. He can only score 'em from 40 yards out. ;-)

A few injuries for LFC though I hear. :-( Torres out for up to 10 days and Babel picked up a knock too. STOOPID international breaks.....

[Sharon_H]

Ah well, they beat Man u without Torres. We'll see how it goes.

BTW where did you watch the match?

Edited to ask the ?

[Keef]

Nice to see Gerrard staking his claim last night, and great link ups with Rooney. Heskey also deserves big respect!

[Keef]

With regards Torres, this hamstring thing does bother me. He's had past problems with it, and the hamstring once it's gone once, seems to come back to haunt players again and again. We need that boy fit, I'm scared he'll pull up one day and miss half a season. Hopefully not, but I hope the club don't feel they need to rush him back.

[Annasfield]

Watched it in the CPT last night with Mr Lush. You should come down sometime.

[Jah Lush]

Oh! Anna...I was exceedingly pissed last night. It all started with a liquid lunch down at Le Chardon, followed by snifters at the Clockhouse, The Drum and the finally the CPT by which time I was completely arseholed as you may have noticed. I hope I behaved myself. I don't really remember much about the match but I had fun though. I remember that much.

[Keef]

Good work mate, you sounded slightly tipsy when you called me about 2 hours before kick off :)-D

Gutted I couldn't make it down!

[Annasfield]

Ha ha. You were splendiferous!

Cheers, I might do that as I've not watched a game in there for a long time.

Also, I am quite gutted about Torres I was just trying to kid myself that it wouldn't be a problem. It didn't work.

[Annasfield]

Nice to see a fellow female scouser on here.

Gutted about his injury, particularly for him (return to the calderon and all), however we did the Mancs without him.

Strength in depth and all that malarkey!

[Keef]

I feel quite uncomfortable about Rafa joining the whole "there are too many international games" club. Basically, if his hamstring was going to go, it would have gone anyway, as he would have no doubt been playing for his club instead of his country. If there are too many games, it's too many stupid group matches in Europe in my opinion.

I am a Liverpool fan, but I love international football (NOT FRIENDLIES), and I still like to think that the players strive towards playing for their countries.

Sad to see he's definitely going to miss the Chelsea match, but we have good players.

Presumably all you Liverpool fans have seen this - youtube vid of a punter doing surprisingly good impressions. Was on the Guardian's YouTube thing yesterday.

Gerrard, Owen and Crouch are the best for my money.

[Keef]

Brilliant!

[Ted Max]

"I'm playing up front week in week out with Shola Ameobi..."

Arf.

[Jah Lush]

Very good. That guy's wasted working in a shop, which I presume he does.

[Sharon_H]

It has just been played on 5live, the presenter wants to know who he is and get him on the programme.

Maybe no more shop work for him.
