Should Spearing and/or Pacheco start against the baggies this weekend.

[RafaLaBamba]

With Mascherano gone and Lucas and Poulsen putting in big shifts on Thursday night, it's more than plausible that Spearing and Pacheco have a good chance of starting on sunday. Travelling all that way can take thier tolls on players and this may mean that fielding these two hungry youngsters is less of a risk than putting out players who are tired mentally and physically.

 

Liverpool can still put out a good team on the weekend though after leaving out Milan, Gerrard, Maxi, Torres, Agger and Skrtel. But players such as Poulsen and Lucas may find it too hard in coming back to full fitness in time for sunday which could leave us fielding a team similar to this.

I'd think about starting pacheco but spearing shouldn't even be part of the squad anymore

[ElNino_9_TheKid]

I would probaby start Pacheco and Shelvey. I doubt Spearing is good enough for us now, he's not a youngster anymore. I would be fairly pleased to see him play a part though, we need to know for sure if he has what it takes or not, I'd love him to make it.

[Guest LFD]

Spearing? No. He is not good enough and Shelvey should always be in the team ahead of him.

 

I really rate Shelvey and hope he can get some minutes this season in the first team.

 

I would have both on the bench.

[Guest Captain Jonjo]

Shelvey and Pacheco should start.

[HornsOfJericho]

Pacheco could but Spearing is a fat meff and should never play again.

[VladimirIlyich]

Spearing is not good enough and Pacheco should offer fresh legs later in the game like last night.

[Pidge]

I'd have Jay start.

 

Dani should definitely start in my opinion.

[ODZ]

Shelvey should be ahead of Spearing.

[RafaLaBamba]

Shelvey shouldn't be ahead of Spearing. Spearing played well in pre-season whereas Shelvey didnt.

[Ross-YNWA]

Pacheco definitely, could open up the play imo which we NEED.

[Glen C]

Spearing should be sold, he's not good enough. Poulsen needs match fitness so should definitely play next to gerrard. Pacheco should be on the bench and brought on for the last 30 minutes.

[llego]

No Spearing Yes Pacheco

 

Wont happen though

[Gary Mac Legend]

We need this win pretty badly. It's vital, therefore I wouldn't recommend taking risks and playing youngsters.

[Guest LFD]

Shelvey shouldn't be ahead of Spearing. Spearing played well in pre-season whereas Shelvey didnt.

 

Well that's not true.

[Jim MM]

No. Throwing two reserves into a league game is inviting trouble. We should beat West Brom even with 9 men says you. Portsmouth says I, Reading, Fulham, Sunderland etc. Shit happens and it happens regularly these days.

There's a proper procedure and they are both at the stage where they can be brought on if we're comfortable. They need more experience, and they need to impress a bit more when they get the chances, before they can claim to be worth a starting place.

[Unrighteous]

We need these 3 points like an addict needs their next fix.

Couldn't agree more.

[Welsh]

I wouldn't mind Pacheco, but Spearing is not good enough.

[PaulMcC]

Pacheco should play. Spearing shouldn't.

[Lee909]

i wouldnt start either,as we have to win thios game.Bring them on when the game is won

[Pidge]

I think Spearing did really well last season and in pre-season, if Roy trusts him to play then he's ready. I think that he is mentally on the ball and in the position that he plays the mental game is half the battle (reading the game and seeing where the opposition are attacking strongest, spotting runs, basic positioning) but I'm hardly calling for his inclusion, Poulsen needs games and I think will do well in this game.

 

Pacheco has something we need more of. Composure on the ball in the final third. He should definitely play as he is in no way a reserve anymore. He is a natural replacement for Cole and I'd prefer to go to 4-2-3-1 with Patches in the hole than 4-4-2 again.

Think we'll go with lucas and gerrard in the middle personally, poulsen looked fucked when he came off on thursday. Would also like to see kuyt up top with torres. Is maxi fit?

[Gillers]

No Spearing, he is not good enough - a Championship player at best.

 

If he wasn't English he would have been sold, really wish he had more ambition and realised he is not going to make it at Liverpool and try go elsewhere to play first team football.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Useless poll if you ask me. A bit like 'should Torres and N'gog start..'. Well, I know one should if he's fit.
