    Good to have a strong midfield again!

    Brown, McGregor, Armstrong, Rogic, Eboue, Ntcham

    Brown, Wanyama, Ki, Kayal, Ledley, Commons

    Back up to the level Lenny had us at. Tough call as to what's better, quite close.

    More steel in Lenny's team more flair in BR's

    Yeah, totally different midfields. That midfield was perfect for Lenny in Europe, I think that's where it will be hard for Rodgers side to top it.

    Probably not but they are definitely not on top form,sacked the manager and struggling in the league.

    Defensive midfielder S. * is suspended and wing back A. Najar is injured. But also three key players are doubtful: K. Mbodji (the best centre-back), I. Obradovic (the only left-back) and Ł. Teodorczyk (the best striker). If they don't recover, I really hope we can win.

    I'd trade a lot of players in the current team for Ledley, let alone Wanyama. We're too offensively inclined in Europe. It's not good.

    Would bite your hand off for a draw right now, then presuming Bayern and PSG take maximum points against them, it's all set-up for us in the final game to get the win and secure football after Christmas.

    Ntcham and Eboue could be the answer in that respect..

    Eboue seems like a player that likes to dribble and be somewhat creative. Ledley was capable of being a disciplined CM, or a late runner into the box- depending on what was needed.

    Aye Ledley was great for us, the type of player you had to be at the game to really appreciate everything he did a real team player. Eboue is young but I'm looking forward to seeing him develop..

    We need a new Ledley now. Or even bring the man himself back this winter. Our midfield is far too unbalanced. The zombies actually threatened us in the first half, which should not be happening. And I expect Anderlecht to be better than the horde.

    Can't agree with that in general mate!! Only the optimistic of our support, of which i consider myself one admittedly, will feel that i think. Being there too many times and got stung before......still personally think we'll get a result though.:celt_2:

    * optimism kicking in again.:50:

    To be honest though they play in a good standard of League, was there not 3 Belgian teams in the EL Quarters last season, one knocked out Spurs and Anderlecht had good games against Man Utd think they only went out by one goal or something.

    If we played in Belgium we'd struggle to go on runs of more than 5 games unbeaten.

    Don't remember feeling threatened by the Zombies at all on Sat.. Ledley coming back is a non-starter, we've played one CL match against one of the tournament favourites..

    Judge whether our current crop of midfielders are good enough after the full campaign.

    Would've rather played this fixture a week ago. New manager has got 2 away wins on the bounce so he's got a reaction and they'll be more confident as a result..

    Still quietly confident we'll come away with at least a point but a win would be a real statement and even this early on, almost nail 3rd spot..

    Same team as Saturday for me, bar Forrest for Paddy. I'd bring Paddy on second half. Good option's with Dembele, McGregor and Ntcham as well..

    When did they threaten?

    Going away from home against anyone, you are always going to have a small spell where they get some chances. That is just football.

    If you are expecting to dominate a game for 90 minutes each and every time you are dreaming.
