great bump. I think lfc must roll the squad and try to do as much as poss out of resources available. many lads are back fit... surely to god gerrard must be "rested" sterling too. lucas, coutinho, markovic... the list of lads who can come in isn't actually short.
Play the diamond. Give Sterling and Lallana a rest, and put Markovic in the number 10 role or even up front where he is far more dangerous. Get Toure back in the team, alongside Lovren. I really hope Johnson plays because it would mean Manquillo will start in the league.
All fixtures: Bournemouth v West Brom MK Dons v Sheff Utd Shrewsbury v Chelsea Fulham v Derby Liverpool v Swansea Man City v Newcastle Stoke v Southampton Tottenham v Brighton Man Utd v Delusions of Competence The draw for the fifth round is due to take place on 29 October 2014. Ties are due to be played during the week commencing 15 December 2014.
Same here if I'm honest. Swansea will play a strong team and we'll definately play a 2nd string team. Saying that though, I'll be interested to see how our 'weakened' team plays and look forward to the likes of Rossiter etc. playing.
not bothered if we win or lose to be honest. never rated the LC even though we have won it a few times. Should rest Gerrard and Sterling tonight. I would play Balotelli just to see if he can score and perhaps give him a bit of confidence.
Thing is, our weakened team isn't exactly weak. In fact, it would give our first team a good game atm
I'm not bothered about the LC but I am bothered about whether we win or lose. I simply don't like losing, not even a friendly
got to be a game to rest some of the regulars. Hope Markovic, Borini and Can start, Sterling on the bench. Are Suso and Sakho still out?
So this isn't being televised? whilst Sky show Chelsea playing ****ing Shrewsbury and BT sport have the German cup on. TV rights in this country are so ****ed up
I'd prefer him to be dropped for the squad completely to give him a full rest. Same goes for Gerrard, Hendo, Lovren, Migs (won't happen), Moreno and Coutinho.
Not bothered if we lose tonight, however I feel it could be the start of a 2 week losing streak, which does worry me.
