So.... United

[mark1975]

I think Sturridge and Gerrard look like they could do with a breather. Agger is struggling with injury and a few of the fringe lads need a game.

Wisdom--Toure-Sakho--Enrique

[refugee]

SUAREZ!!

That is all

 

[TSD]

I'd play Kelly instead of Wisdom, and Joe Allen if fit ahead of Lucas, with Aspas as the #9 with Suarez behind. But yeah, would like to see fresh faces in midfield. Allen (the knitter), Henderson (the legs) and Alberto (the creator).

 

[mark1975]

Kelly's a good shout.

I know it's only the league cup but I really want to batter them.

.... and to achieve that you pick a weakened team of kids & squad players, bar Suarez?

 

[Hansern]

Rest Sturridge, Gerrard, Enrique and Agger. We need everyone fit for sunday.

 

[jon545660]

Full strength team. We need a confidence boost and you don't a bigger lift than beating the mancs.

 

[gene hughes]

Suarez, Sturridge and Moses up front.

 

[Hyena]

We need more injuries to key players for our already depleted squad

 

[Red Mullet]

Cos another defeat is going to do wonders for us...

Starting with players who are carrying injuries and/or struggling with fitness is unlikely to increase our chances of getting a confidence boost. Furthermore, it could fuck us up for upcoming games.

Playing a full strength team means playing with players carrying injuries? Since when?

Because some of those players in our best 11 are playing with niggling injuries...Agger, Enrique and Sturridge. Plus, Gerrard is not moving on the pitch so he could do with a rest...he looks knackered.

Understand now?

If they can't play to their best then it's not really a best 11. In fact the concept of a best 11 is pretty flawed.

 

[6TimesaRed]

No Van Persie so we might just win this..

Suarez to bag a hat trick..

 

[Hansern]

Mignolet

Kelly Skrtel Sakho Flanno

Allen Henderson

Sterling Alberto Moses

Suarez

 

[gene hughes]

You want to put flano against Valencia?

 

[Buddha]

Ibe to get a run out?

 

[Gary25]

You want to put flano against Valencia?

Aye.Why not?

 

[Hansern]

You want to put flano against Valencia?

No, but Utd will field an understrength team and we've got Agger, Cissokho out injured. Enrique needs to rest his knee if he's going to play against Sunderland.
Which means its Flanno or Wisdom at left back imho.

 

[Whirly]

Considering they just got battered by City, we'll probably be facing a pretty good side.

 

[StevieM]

Loosing to us at OT after being battered by City is something they might want to avoid.

In any case - we need Moyes to have some success at the job - so as he's there long enough to proper fuck them up long term.

Not that I want us to loose - a win would do all minds of good for us.

 

[Frogfish]

Saw the title but this thread isn't what I thought it would be, but here are my thoughts anyway ........

I feel sooooo much better having watched those Manc Scum get battered and shafted by Citeh than I did earlier still morosely wringing the cat's neck and scuffing my new shoes kicking stones about in the road. Now I feel happy again.

 

[Frogfish]

Oh and re. this Liberty Cup or whatever the fuck it's called now ..... Rodgers will want to keep us in it, he'll field a strong team.

 

[Hyena]

Everytime some fucking fool says let's play a full strength team in a meaningless shit cup we lose some important player like Lucas, Sturridge, Gerrard....

If we need a confidence boost, play a 11 v 11 with the reserves. More likely we'll play the full strength squad, battle to the death and still lose AND tire our players out. Where's your fucking stupid confidence boost then?

Err.. By winning at Old Trafford?

Kelly should be right back if fit in any game.

Ilori deserves a start after the defending I've seen in the last 2 games.
Sterling deserves a start as does Allen.
Gerrard needs a rest and Moses isn't fit enough for 3 games in a week yet.
And Aspas was rubbish las time out.
And Sturridge looks like he is still carrying his leg injury.

So of what's available that would be our strongest side.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Oh and I've no doubt he'll pick the strongest fit side.

He has said he won't rest players in the cup anymore and he knows beating Utd will take all the pressure off from his fuck up on the weekend.

1st vs reserves for a confidence boost? You joking? Right?
