I’d be okay with Bradley getting an hour.

We’d be mad to risk Bradley against clogging cup opposition. We have a challenging Prem game roughly every 3.5 days after this for the rest of the month and with no guarantee as to Trent’s return date right now, why on earth would anyone risk Bradley against Plymouth?
We have Endo, potentially Gomez and even Mabaya to come in against no-mark Cup opposition. The fuck should we risk Bradley..

Do we know for sure that Trent is back for Everton?
I would like Slot to try Nunez and Chiesa as the front 2 - I think the enthusiasm and intelligence of Chiesa could be something that potentially “unlocks” Nunez. So same team, but 4-4-2:
—————Kelleher—————
———-Gomez—-Quansah—-
Bradley——————Tsimikas
———-McConnell—Endo——
Elliott——————-Ngumoha
———Chiesa—-Nunez———
That’s a hell of a reserve team, BTW.
Morton is El Muerto.
I assumed yes based on what Slot saying about being out for days and he was in stands on Thursday.
Klopp?
I missed out about 50% of the sentence and yes, keep forgetting about Klopp.
Imagine Bradley plays and gets injured.
If he does break down again let it be in the league, not away to this lot.

Imagine Bradley doesn’t play and Trent’s back for Everton, then what? He should play on merit and build up on the good games he’s afforded.
Trent and Gomez both back imminently, no need to worry about playing up to all these what ifs.
Come on , what we need right now is a hilarious loss against the bottom side of the Championship.
Maybe we could follow it up by purposely losing the League Cup Final as well - Dreamie will be delighted.
A real person you say… Mabaya he is, Mabaya he isn’t… but I agree, Mabaya we should give him a half.
Imagine being so shortsighted you risk the league and CL for a shot at an FA CUP run.
Zzzzzzzzz
Your head is so far up your own arse you’ve not seen daylight for years.
You rotate the team, maybe even play kids who wouldn’t likely play which may lead to a defeat… but you never EVER hope to get beat.
Thank his our players don’t have the same defeatest attitude as you.
There’s nothing insightful about your position - you’re just playing the weak-minded troll.
I’d like the think you’re better than that - but you keep proving me wrong.
Repeating the same mistakes over and over is idiotic.
Pointing that out is hardly up my own arse or being a weak-minded troll.
I don’t care for the FA Cup, I want the league and CL.
We should win the league cup now too which means Slot will have a trophy under his belt.
Every round we get through the risk or facing a strong team and playing our best players grows and that in turn increases the risk of us losing a super strong position in the league due to injuries or fatigue.
Fuck that, and I couldn’t care less if people think that’s me trolling or whatever.
Giving playing significant playing time to Fringe players and youths that wouldn’t normally play keeps they match fit, sharp and in a better shape to come in and influence league and euro games - while also allowing key players to rest - winning, if that’s what happens also keeps momentum going and builds a strong mentality.
We’re in great shape, with almost an entire squad fit, no-one looking fatigued and plants of players without loads of playing time.
Do you know what sets great teams apart from also-rans? It’s the desire to win every game without exception. There’s no fucking chance the great Liverpool, Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal or City teams would ever countenance losing.
And here you are - not advocating for weekend team or even a youths team being sent out … but actively hoping we get beat.
You’d be as well coming clean that you’ve been a Man Utd fan all along.
It's different this season, we don't have 8 players out injured. We have a fully fit squad (except Trent who's feigning injury) and our squad players need minutes too.
No matter who we get in the 5th round, we would play a strong second team. Kelleher, Quansah, Gomez, Tsimikas, Endo, Jones, Elliott, Nunez, Diaz, McConnell, etc. They get good minutes in their legs. We would save our first team for the Newcastle and European Cup games which are either side.
Then we get to the quarters. 29th March. We would need to get some rhythm back following an international break before the Anfield derby so again a fairly strong side minus those who travel from South America.
Then it’s the semis 27th April. Provided we match Arsenal’s results up to this point the league is as good as done. If you get to the semis you may as well win it
That leaves us time to focus on Champion’s League and the European Cup.
Good.
