http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Agger-c9884 start on the bench against Blackburn.
Dalglish seems to be taking a major risk for his side’s Barclays Premier League clash against Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 at Ewood Park, as the team sheet is short on a number of big names.
Luis Suarez, the club’s highest scorer with 13 goals in all competitions starts on the bench, as does the Dane defender Daniel Agger. For Suarez it seems to be a case of keeping him fresh for the crucial FA Cup semi-final against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 on the weekend.
For Agger though, one can be sure that the imposing centre back will feature at some point or the other as he continues to return to full fitness following his lengthy absence.
However, the fact that Steven Gerrard is not even on the bench should have alarm bells ringing for Liverpool fans as to whether the skipper is injured and how it affects his chances of playing against Everton this Saturday.
Remember it was Gerrard who scored a hat trick against their local rivals in the Barclays Premier League.
All that said and done Alexander http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Glen-Johnson-c15050 starting in defence.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Craig-Bellamy-c9471 operating on the wings.
Up front is Andy Carroll, who can expect to find both Maxi and Bellamy linking up with him in the centre as the match wears on.
Another notable absentee is Stuart Downing who has not even made it to the bench. The bench itself consists of Brad Jones, Jose Enrique, Daniel Agger, Luis Suarez, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jamie-Carragher-c17728.
In essence it seems that Dalglish has all but given up on the league and has turned his attention to the FA Cup semi-final on the weekend. Liverpool could argue that the rotation could be down to the congested fixture list yet even then the likes of Gerrard would have at least been on the bench.
