so the rumors were right? heard this on the weekend

 

Hope he gets some time. He is a fantastic young player.

Im not going to mention him in the same breath as anyone, as that is just tempting some form of Adam Pepperization of his talents

Is there something I've missed?..

 

Dunno is there?

That teams been confirmed on SSN too

 

Strong line up. Alot of pace in that front 3. Looking forward to see how some of these perform.

 

Should be more than enough, just hope he gives Sturridge a rest ( after we are up) so he is fit and ready for United.

 

Migs
Johnson - Wisdom - Toure - Cissokho
Alberto - Gerrard - Allen
Ibe - Sturridge - Sterling

Really expected Borini to play instead of Sturridge but I guess Danny needs matches

 

Hopefully he scores first before he's subbed

 

Why Sturridge and Gerrard starting. And Toure could've done with some rest aswell. Hope it's only one half, I really wanted to see Borini start though, his confidence must have hit rock bottom. feel for the chap. He deserved a start today.

 

Liking the line up Strong and fast upfront but like mentioned would rather of had Borini. He could do with some game time to

 

You been going to the training sessions then?

 

i know its early in the season but i am aghast that gerrard and sturridge are out there. borini i agree should start and with england coming a rest for sturridge in particular is wise

 

I understand Sturridge, he needs to matches to get sharp after injury, but Gerrard is a bit of a surprise. BR must be taking it seriously. Expect Gerrard, Toure and Sturridge to come off at some point. Just leaves Johnson

 

I'd rather we start with a strong team get a few goals and then take players off to rest them. In the past we have put out teams full of youngsters and then when we fall behind have had to bring on some of the first team who have to play falt out to try to save the game, and often have not been able to.

I would like us to go 3-0 up then replace Gerrard, Sturridge and Toure with subs. Don' know who is on the bench though.

 

Only Agger on the bench for defense, unless Hendo plays as a defender.

 

Must add, this is our first ever black back four. What a history making moment.

 

Surprised there isn't some more youth on the bench considering the strong line up. Everyone's talking about taking Toure/Gerrard off but they'd have to be replaced by Henderson/Lucas & Agger who have also played last 2 games. Thought McLaughlin, Kelly, Teixera might have been on the bench if we were 3-0 up could give them a run out.

 

A little disappointed that there aren't any wildcards on the bench (McLaughlin, Tex, Sinclair maybe) but excited to see Ibe and Alberto all the same.

Concerned that we might over play Toure and Stevie.
