On seeing the squad I don't fancy our chances:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/e...rem/7978841.stm

:(

Blackburn (from): Zaluska, Dixon, Dods, Wilkie, Dillon, Kovacevic, Grainger, Caddis, Kenneth, Wesolowski, Swanson, Gomis, Buaben, Conway, Sandaza, D Robertson, Feeney, Shala, McGovern.

If we're going to get the entire Dundee United team on loan then we should probably start to panic a little!

Isn't it amazing that the BBC's sub-editing repeatedly shows they are employing people who know are totally ignorant of football.

Most three year olds in Penzance would spot that one.

Anyway, this Times article is far more informative than anything the BBC has managed thus far oin the subject of Gerrard.

Being wicked for a moment, a pro footballer can easily exploit an opponent's groin problem by the simple expedient of delaying moving the ball to invite a lunge. Rafa would be bonkers to play Gerard on Saturday thinking he could rest him at Chelsea and think that would be that. Rafa is bonkers....

I think we have to get out of this "it doesn't matter - there's more important games next week" mentality for games against the top 4.

If we go in again with that attitude we'll get another Emirates style whupping and you never know whether goal difference might be significant at the end of the season.

There should be no reason at all why we can't go there, get in their faces, keep it tight and give them a hard game.

Agree. The mentality should be that if we were to pick up a point, or even all 3, it would be massive and we will be closer to the survival line. Picking up no points just adds pressure to the next game(s) we play. Comments like Dunny's below may be a sign that the pressure is off, but hopefully everyone is working their as*es off tomorrow.

"All the games are big, but without sounding too negative about this weekend, games against the likes of Liverpool aren't going to be the ones that keep us up," said the 29-year-old. It is going to be games like the one against Stoke the week after. They are going to be the games that decide which league we are going to be playing in".

Where's his arm sticking out from? :blink:

Tommorows result means nothing, the week after is the most important one. However, a hammering tommorow may dent our confidence. I'll take a draw :rover:

Surely Riley can't put in a worse display than Walton last week though! If he was a horse, he'd be in the adhesives aisle at B&Q by now.

Have to agree though, a draw or narrow defeat will do. Maintain confidence and keep the goal difference down. Assuming Gerrard isn't fit, Alonso will be the one to keep quiet. The worst thing for us though would be if they play a "weakened side". Too many players with a point to prove. As full strength as possible please with all of them half-hearted with one eye on Chelsea next week.

As many fans will know Saturday will be Liverpool's nearest home game to the 20th anniversary of Hillsborough next Wednesday. A member of the Fans Forum suggested a while ago that Rovers fans do something to mark their respect and as a result the club are paying for a wreath on behalf of Rovers fans which will be placed at the Hillsborough memorial before Saturday's game by the Chairman of the Fans Forum with reps from Liverpool's Supporters Trust. As the memorial is right by the entrance for away fans, look out for it if you're going.

As one who went to Anfield on the Monday night after Hillsborough I would very much like to attend this small ceremony. Do we know what time the wreath will be laid? I shall have Tom with me so I need a bit of warning to gte myself there on time. Thanks.

Anyone got a confirmed time for this yet?

What is the deal with Roque.? Is he making the trip or not? The news reports are ambiguous. Anyone have the inside skinny?

I would be amazed if Roque played...swelling on knee, not worth the risk.

And don't call me 'skinny.'

It's hard to know what to say- every week my paper tells me that Santa ( and Grella for that matter) will be back in a weeks time and when that Saturday rolls around it's the same story , fit next week !

Who do we play up front ? No point playing Benny up front on his own in a 4-5-1 he doesn't work half as hard enough.

Benny and Samba- Can't see the point in playing your best defender up front at Anfield ( unless it's to keep from getting sent off ).

Benny and Diouf- Who'll replace Diouf out wide on the right ?

My paper also tells me the man with the glass hamstring may not play and our long throw specialist is doubtful with a calf strain.

Who'd be big Sam ?

Anything less than a 3-0 will be a plus , lets just hope the other results go our way.

Boro v Hull - draw.

Stoke v Newcastle- home win.

Portsmouth v West Brom- draw

Sunderland v Red Rats- away win.
