Blackburn Away

[Modo]

Play the reserves/squad players? (My suggestion)
Or try to get some momentum 4 days before the Everton game and risk injuries, suspensions and the Kraken being released? (Neil's suggestion)

 

[hmmmmm1]

It be full strength team again

 

[Hansern]

Play the team that are going to face Everton.
Try to get some continuity going and use the same players and tactics for a few mathces after eachother.

 

[OLD_Lewy]

sterling on the bench, dont really care about the rest

 

[mr_moo]

sterling on the bench, dont really care about the rest

start him i say, but kenny being kenny he'll travel and not make bench

 

[Gary25]

I'd rest Enrique, Gerrard and Suarez.

Wouldn't mind seeing something like this:

------ Doni -------------

Flanagan ---- Skrtel --- Agger --- Johnson(if fit)

Henderson --- Spearing --- Shelvey --- Downing

--------- Bellamy ------ Carroll

Agger LB and Coates at CB if Johnson isn't fit.

 

[Buddha]

I'd play the reserves with the promise that if any shine they'll at least make the bench for the semi.

 

[spider-Neil]

we are going to play the strongest team possible. there is no way on this earth kenny will want to go into the semi final on the back of a bad result.

Is the right answer.

[keniget]

Show some pride, score some fucking goals, try and win a game god forbid and if all else fails at least give the kids a go.

I honestly don't think a good or bad performance on Tues night will make any difference come the Cup semi.

 

[spider-Neil]

I honestly don't think a good or bad performance on Tues night will make any difference come to the Cup semi.

probably not but you still don't want to go into a semi final on the back of a defeat.

 

[dee]

To a certain extent we are already playing the 'kids'!

John Flannagan, 19
Jonjo Shelvey, 20
Martin Kelly, 21
Jordan Henderson, 21
Sebastion Coates, 21
Even Jay Spearing is still only 23!

 

[dee]

I'd like to see Aurelio one more time before the end of the season and Tuesday may be a good night.

A really classy player once he got a few games under his belt. Unfortunately ....

 

[Gary25]

probably not but you still don't want to go into a semi final on the back of a defeat.

Know what you're saying but i do think there's a lot of truth in the saying 'form goes out the window in these games' when we're playing Everton/United/Chelsea etc.

 

[Ryan]

Whatever.

Play Agger at left-back though. Enrique has been brutal for about 4 months now.

 

[SummerOnions]

Is Jack Robinson fit?

 

[Modo]

Is Jack Robinson fit?

Haven't seen him play for the reserves/u18s. I think he's injured.

 

[Buddha]

If we play the reserves, the side that faces Everton wouldn't be.

 

[King Binny]

Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Heitinga, Neville, Gueye, Fellaini, Osman, Pienaar, McFadden, Stracqualursi.
Subs: Mucha, Gibson, Drenthe, Distin, Coleman, Anichebe, Duffy.

Baines, Cahill, Jelavic rested ahead of Everton's cup clash with us.

 

[Modo]

In all seriousness I'd play the following:

----------------------Doni
Johnson--Coates----Agger-----Aurelio
---------------Spearing
-----------Henderson---Shelvey
Maxi--------------------------------Sterling
-----------------Carroll

Suso and Adorjan on the bench.

Johnson and Agger are in need of some match fitness.
The omitted need a rest.

 

[Jack D Rips]

We need to play the same defence he plans to go with on Saturday to give Doni another game with them.

 

[Mystic]

---------------Spearing
-----------Henderson---Shelvey

I like that team, minus Aurelio.

 

[SummerOnions]

yeah i agree though i'd take off Enrique at HT if we're winning or something.

they still managed to win 4--0 i think they are at their best i don't fancy our chances at all the way we have been playing recently.

Fucking hell, we'll beat them. We always do when it matters.

 

[spider-Neil]

*jinx alert* *jinx alert* *jinx alert*

 

[Modo]

We are gonna beat Everton. The players will be motivated and we'll see some great football.
Then there's gonna a be a King Kenny wank fest here.
Wembley here we come (again and again).

 

[Sunny]

There's a lot of premature wanking going on at the moment

 

[spider-Neil]

There's a lot of premature wanking going on at the moment

based on what, I have no idea.
