A solitary game tonight for the Dugout Discussion as the last fixture of the [regular] gameweek keeps our cockles occupied this evening. “King” Kenny Dalglish has brought his Liverpool side on a jaunt down to London and seems to have left Andy Carroll in Toddington services – the gargantuan Geordie is nowhere to be seen. Fulham also leave a rather large striker out. For them it’s Bobby Zamora; he at least gets a place on the bench though. Full line-ups are…

Fulham XI: Schwarzer; Baird, Hughes, Hangeland, Salcido; Davies, Murphy, Sidwell, Dempsey; Gudjohnsen, Dembele.

Liverpool Xi: Reina; Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Flanagan; Spearing, Lucas; Maxi, Meireles, Kuyt; Suarez.

The Dugout Discussion will be open through all the action as Liverpool look to assert their late charge into a place fit enough to earn them some European football – even if it’s not quite they would have hoped for.

    Ok Kuyt is in bang hot form but this primarily because Carroll isn't playing. If they play 2 up top Kuyt wond be as effective willl he? or am i just being bitter?

      It's just an insane hot streak, Carroll or not doesn't matter much imo. He'll never continue like this for much longer and the penalties will be there even with Carroll on the pitch.

      Nobody really wants the Europa League, so finishing sixth should be much better unless you get lots more cash for finishing fifth?

      Up until the semi finals it's a waste of a tournament, and even then the players don't care THAT much.

        he'll be playing a deep box 2 box role like he used to pre benitez. People seem to have forgotten he can defend and play a damn good passing game from deep. I'm wondering where meireles will fit in when we get a good winger or 2.

    Kuyt isn't actually OOP at all is he. He's pretty much been stuck on the right for the whole half. Meireles and Maxi have got in the box a lot more.

      I know. Kev Phillips - who is a truly awful commentator btw - was saying he was at fault for just the third goal, when he's actually been at fault for all of them.

      Suarez has Rooney-itus, it's generally when every one else is playing really well, and he is playing even better, but just doesn't want to score or just can't get a rub of the green to score

      maybe they give richards a run

      other than that cnt see any big rotation exept flipping a coin on balotelli/dzeko

      i can see johson starting tomorrow and milner the FA cup final because of his physical presence

      vieira started everton so wnt start a game again until next year

      silva will probably get a 60 min run and be subbed by milner/wright-philips if the draw is secured
