That was an oversight on my part for which I apologise. A front three of him, Ngog and Voronin would do nicely. I'd like to see Cole in midfield though that might be asking too much of the Danish powerhouse.

 

The Doss is showing signs of fatigue I'm afraid. Time for young Jack Robinson though to step up.

I like the thinking.

 

I'd go for Aquilani in midfield over joke hole, but sadly he broke a fingernail this morning and is out for a month

*Shudders*

 

The Cancer+Aids years, adroitly helmed by Hodgson, is much more traumatic than most of us would like to admit.

[Jordy Brouwer]

I'd Roy Evans it up. "Razor" Ruddock, McAteer, Redknapp, McManaman and lots of other silly names. 

 

Ooooooooooooooooh they don't make them like that any more.

Thing is Roy Evan's teams play football that was pleasing to the eye, kind of shit at defending though (sexy Argentine shagging-on-the-dance-floor tango in attack, Morris dancing defence at the back). The Owl's vintage however was, how do you put it... shit.

I don't want to derail this thread to the Sunday's game but I disagree, I want a win. A draw would mean we will be fighting with 2 teams all the way. 

We all want a win mate

[Fowlers God]

Just noticed the fucking time of the game. Meeting in 15 mins then better finish 

 

Blimey.

I’ve gone early to work from home because I forgot something.

[bossy]

One game at a time sweet cheeses. Let’s play great, work hard, no injuries, and beat them. Up the Reds!

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Pretty strong side. Nice to see some established names on the bench.

[Carra_is_legend]

Stronger than I expected for sure.

[El Rojo]

THE BENCH!!!

[suzy]

I’m working til 6 so it’s a pain! I am at home though today …

[El Rojo]

We’ll likely be strong throughout, as we’ll want to get some minutes into Salah and Szloboszlai later.

 

Sparta 1-4 Kloppites

[Judge]

This team selection is a horrendous gamble with our league title chances. 

[3 Stacks]

The joy of this type of game is the absolute fright people get at the prospect of possible injuries. 

[TD_LFC]

Has the Polish Messi worked his way back up the pecking order then, he was on his way to some Polish club in the summer.

Listing the team by their squad number is a right pain in the arse, takes me a minute to figure how the side is setting up.

[Razoray]

Kelleher

Gomez1 Quansah Konate Robbo 

Elliott Endo Macca

Gakpo Nunez Diaz

Subs:

Maybe VvD at HT for Konate, and a bit later McConnell (or Clark depending on the score) for Mac Allister, Szoboszlai for Nunez and Salah for Diaz.

Quansah and Konaté are the centre back partnership, mate.

Sparta 300-0 Kloppites

Fixed.

[Redder Lurtz]

That's a stronger side than I thought.

 

And Mo on the bench. Which is nice. 

[Elite]

Klopp going for this trophy. It's definitely the most winnable.
