Would love Shelvey to -play against either these or Stoke, depends on Kenny's priority.

Did Aureilio play centre-mid in that mental game away at Portsmouth ?
We were 2-0 down and came back to wi n 3-2, Torres last minute header.

Don't remember to be honest, all I do remember is that he used to play in the middle and he did it amazingly well.

What the fuck is Aurielo dong in centre mid..... are Henderson & Spearing dead?
[/quote]
I think Aurelio would do a better job in the middle than both Hendo and Spearo.
[/quote]
I don't. he's just back from a really long lay off.

True, but playing on the left of defense doesn't mean Fabio has a force field around him.
I'm not advocating him playing in the centre by the way.

Too early?
Just felt presenting my line up before anyone else does.
Considering Bellamy's impressive performance against Oldham, Gerrards and Aurelio's return. I'd like to this line up:
Reina
Kelly Skrtel Agger Enrique
Aurelio Adam
Gerrard
Bellamy Maxi
Carroll
[/quote]
Fabio is too left footed to play in central midfield. He may have played decently there before but surely not against City especially having not played in such a long time.

1. Aurelio physically will not be able to cope with the rigors of playing centre-mid against City. Not at this stage of his recovery.
2. Kenny Dlaglish has never used him in that role.
3. We have players in Henderson and Spearing who should get that position from a long term point of view....
It's just an outright ridiculous suggestion, and also it most likely will not happen. He cold get a spot on the bench though...
Annyhoo....this is what i would play.

It seem clear that Kenny will not pair Adam and Gerrard centrally. At least not away against City. My guess is more a Adam/Spearing CM with Hendo/gerrard infront.

I hope Kenny has learned his lesson from last week. Bellamy HAS to start.
Kompany being out is a big plus, we really struggle to shackle him from set pieces.
And refugee, yeah he probably did, but that was with Lucas too wasn't it? I'd doubt he'd play them too often in a midfield central pairing without the protection of another player.

I think we need turn up with a fairly defensive line-up, a draw would do us.

I'm hoping that too. I thought we were fairly unlucky though to be honest, if we had got that first goal the game could have panned out differently..

He does seem to be replacing Adam when he's been coming on. However I don't see anything wrong, in fact I see a lot right with
Henderson-Adam

Purely on the basis of how Carroll performed against them at the tail end of last season, I'd give him a game.
[/quote]
I agree, it's hard to leave Shelvey out after how well he performed against Oldham.
Another question is, do we stick with Coates and Carragher as they've played all the games thus far, or do with field our strongest team as we want the cup.

There's giving him games Fabs, which is fine, there's a difference though in letting him play and watching him look less than impressive against a lower league side and then throwing him in against the (current) best side in the Premiership.

This is the fine line I tread too. I think he'll be a great player in years to come, however he needs games to improve now. Thats why I was annoyed we got United in the FA cup, we could use a lower opposition to give players like Kelly, Coates, Shelvey etc more game time.
I think i'd play Coates you know.
