Just get them beat, Reds.

[Dr Nowt]

The lowest priority left this season, including Qatar.

 

Blood the kids and give minutes to those senior players who aren’t getting enough/any elsewhere.

 

Except Shaq, who you just know has got injured at the worst possible time again in terms of this tie. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Add Adrian and Origi to the team that beat MK Dons and have first-teamers on the bench.

Adrian

Gomez

Lovren

Hoever

Milner

Gini

Not sure Hoever can play - think he is away with Holland in some comp.

Shit... have we got anyone else?

[Dr Nowt]

No. He’s left something of a vacuum.

[TheHowieLama]

They are a shambles -- 50/50 they even show up.

[3 Stacks]

Would playing van Den Berg be irresponsible? I always wonder about how managers deal with younger players and when they decide to give them a shot. Him and Elliott at least, I'd like to see. I don't think we really care if we win this or not. 

[Kevin D]

I'm after 2 spares tickets for this, if anyone knows of any going.

Neco Williams has been training with the first team.

He is still miles off in my opinion mate, but it’s Jurgen’s that counts.

Could play Milner RB and Larouchi LB if fit.

We'll just have to suck it up.

‘Irresponsible’ wouldn’t be the right word, but on current form playing Williams or Thomas Hill at RB and Gomez in the centre would be easier to justify. Also van den Berg missed the reserve game on Saturday with that virus that’s doing the rounds.

EDIT: He was at the game yesterday though, so it can’t be bad shithouse dog AIDS or anything.

[Trumo]

Accuracy. Ruthlessness. Style. Effervescence. Brains. Instinct. Spacial awareness. Creativity. Unity. Intensity. Tactical nous. Strength.

 

I don't ask for much.

 

Despite probably starting with a mixture of fringe first-teamers and youth, we have to treat this game the way we would a league or CL game. No half-baked attitudes or complacency. We've got players who will benefit from some game time, and this is the way for them to get it.

 

Oh, and 20:30 kick off Stig?

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I'd like us to win this game. Play the youngsters/players on the fringe of the first squad. Pack the bench with a few goodies. 

 

[Moctezuma]

I think we'll run into problems here as Arsenals secondary team have had a lot of experience playing together in the Europa League, which is a pity as I don't want Liverpool to give them a chink of light psychologically at Anfield as they have been woeful since the 5-1 in 2014.

 

Team will probably be the following?:

Alisson - I reckon the thinking will be to give the lad more game time

Milner

Gomez

Lovren

Hoever

Gini- Though I think Klopp will be very tempted to play Lallana in the 6 like he did in pre-season, however that would make our midfield really light

Keita

Chamberlain

Elliot

Origi

Brewster

 

If we get through this a home tie against Crawley or Colchester would be ideal.

Back to diplomacy. Watched the match yesterday stood next to an Arsenal fan (from nottingham the weirdo) and he was giving us all the praise in the world. "Best side in the world, the front 3 are the best he has seen since Henry, Pires, Bergkamp" etc. He had Arsenal on flash scores and Palace made it 2 all. He turned to me and told me they had scored  "Yeah thats because you lot are shit mate" 

 

Ive actually got a funny story about yesterday and match plans but i'll wait till I get home in a bit.

That would be OK although I doubt Gini will be risked and I would wager now Adrian gets a run out. He's earned it to be fair

[Jairzinho]

Would love the kids to win this. Would be fucking brilliant for their progress.
