The English giant will crash out of UEFA champions league if they fail to beat the Switzerland giant FC basel... This is going to be difficult ,I pray we win. Match preview coming soon.

Sorry to Liverpool, they can't go ahead!

Basel needs a draw.
Liverpool needs a win.
Liverpool with no striker has no hope in this one.
Not even a hope of qualifying for UCL next season.
LFC team is still below average. it's far from depth and quality.

This is just too sAd.. We are out #cry

Rodgers should leave sentiment apart and select the right player. Play M. Can - Lucas Henders as DM .. Gerrad should be push forward.. Lose or draw and the red will crash out of Europe..

Brendan Rodgers says Tuesday's must-win
Champions League game with Basel is a
chance for his players to write themselves into
Liverpool folklore.
Rodgers' side must beat the Swiss team at
Anfield to seal second place in Group B and
reach the knockout stage.
"It will be a great night and it is up to us to
get the job done," the Liverpool manager said.
"It is an opportunity for the players to qualify
and make sure they write themselves into
folklore."
Liverpool have been in a similar position in
the Champions League before, going into a
home game against Olympiakos in December
2004 needing a win to reach the last 16.
They trailed 1-0 at half-time but turned the
game around to win 3-1 and qualify ahead of
the Greek side en route to winning the trophy.
While Liverpool have to win on Tuesday, a
draw will be enough to take Basel through
alongside group winners Real Madrid.
"We would have taken this when the draw was
made," continued Rodgers.
"In my time here we have had games that
were deemed as must-win games and more
times than not we have won them.
"We arrive into tomorrow night with great
confidence that we can get the job done.
"We are only focusing on the positive result.
We see it as an opportunity rather than a
threat to anything we are doing this season."
Captain Steven Gerrard is expected to return
to the side having come off the bench during
their disappointing 0-0 home draw with
Sunderland in the Premier League on
Saturday.
Gerrard's goal against
Olympiakos in 2004
earned progression from
the group stage, as
Liverpool went on to win
the Champions League
Gerrard has been a driving force for the Reds
in Europe down the years - especially in the
2005 final - but Rodgers insists that other
players must shoulder the responsibility of
ensuring victory over Basel.
"In terms of Steven - we can't just be reliant
solely on him, this has to be about a team
performance. We need other players to step up
to the mark, taking on responsibility and
being a catalyst and not place it on his
shoulders," added Rodgers.
"We have shown in recent weeks the group is
starting to come together again. Slowly, game
by game, I can see the difference in the team,
the focus and concentration, and we have
quality in the squad."
With striker Mario Balotelli (groin) still not fit
Fabio Borini could earn a recall to the bench -
having been omitted on Saturday against
Sunderland - as back-up for Rickie Lambert.
Centre-back Mamadou Sakho trained with the
squad in their open session on Monday night
but is unlikely to make the match after a long
lay-off with a thigh injury.
Liverpool squad (provisional): Mignolet,
Johnson, Toure, Skrtel, Moreno, Lucas, Allen,
Henderson, Gerrard, Sterling, Lambert, Jones,
Manquillo, Lovren, Enrique, Can, Coutinho,
Lallana, Markovic, Borini.

*******************************
From the moment the draw for the
Champions League group stages was
made, there always seemed a good
chance Liverpool's final match against
FC Basel could be decisive. At Anfield,
against the group's other most likely
side to finish second behind Real
Madrid, and knowing that nothing less
than a positive result would do.
In the end, that's how it's turned out,
though the path to get to this point has
been far rockier than most ever
expected. Few would have expected
Liverpool would have only four
points heading into their final match,
their win and draw coming against
the group's supposed cannon fodder,
Ludogorets, who also have four points
but trail head to head.
Basel, who have won two matches
including their first against Liverpool,
stand on six points and are the better
positioned side to advance, knowing a
draw on Tuesday night will be enough
to qualify them for the knockout
rounds. I all likelihood, that means
sitting back, setting up on the counter,
and hoping that Liverpool's struggles
in attack continue.
Striker Marco Streller scored when
the two sides first met, his 52nd
minute strike handing the Swiss side
all three points. He and speedy 20-
year-old Derlis Gonzalez, who has
scored twice in the Champions League
and is Basel's next Mohamed Salah or
next next Xherdan Shaqiri on the
wing, will likely provide the Swiss
side's main attacking threat.
Midfielder Shkelzen Gashi, Basel's set
piece taker and leading scorer in the
league, will look to arrive in the box
late to pounce on any scrambled balls.
He's also got a deadly shot from
distance, both from open play and
dead ball situations, and regularly
scores the kind of driven goals from
outside the penalty area that once
made Steven Gerrard famous.
For Liverpool:
Mignolet
Johnson Skrtel Toure Enrique
Henderson Gerrard Lallana
Sterling Lambert Coutinho
If Brendan Rodgers is feeling
particularly bold, this might seem just
the match to bring Emre Can and
Lazar Markovic back into the side.
Can was Liverpool's best against
Chelsea a month ago but rather hasn't
seen the pitch since, while Markovic,
bar a late cameo against Sunderland,
has been sidelined himself after a few
promising Champions League
performances.
It seems more likely, though, that the
manager will stick with some of the
players who have been key to the
club's recent improvement. It also
seems likely that after Lucas started
his fourth match in a row on the
weekend while Steven Gerrard rested,
the two will now swap roles. What
seems less certain is whether Gerrard
plays at the base or the top of
midfield.
There are potential problems either
way—Gerrard has been downright
poor in the holding role on one hand
and would mean no room for one of
Lallana, Coutinho, or Sterling on the
other. Though given Can is out of
favour, Lucas' recent heavy match-
load, and that most of Rodgers'
remaining options are more attack-
minded, a return to the base of
midfield might be most likely.
And regardless of how that midfield
sets up, the biggest question mark
might actually be up top. Mario
Balotelli remains missing, Daniel
Sturridge remains injured, and Rickie
Lambert has started five matches in a
row now. He has also looked
increasingly statuesque, an exhausted
32-year-old who saw little action
through the first three months of the
season.
Against Sunderland, he might as well
not have been on the pitch once the
second half started. Yet with Fabio
Borini unable to even make the bench
of late with no other striking options
and a clearly exhausted Lambert, one
would have to expect more of the
same on Tuesday. Hopefully, if
Liverpool can score early, it won't
turn into a major problem.
