All but Woodburn to start, the young lad will be on the bench, depending on how the game is going, may see some playing time towards the end.. Could be similar to last match where we have a strong bench, should the established team need to come on.
possibly. I would be still upset slightly. Ejaria and origi yes. mane on right. BUT then do henderson cana nd wijnaldum REALLY need a rest... really.. This is a trophy and european qualification up for grabs. our first chance this year at our first silverware in 5 years. over rotation drives me mentalist.
Agree, to a point, that rotation for this game, given the next game is 5 days away maybe a bit OTT.. Maybe not the 11 changes like last time, more a mixture of youth and first teamer's, we'll know soon enough!
I'm 100% with you on the trying to win everything point and rotation of everyone will piss me off too - BUT youngsters do need to be blooded in for their development and to show us who really is any good and can handle it. This is why no Europa is ****, not a good thing. Hopefully a strong spine with an Ejaria, Grujic and TAA thrown in
Ejaria looks god. in the current situation i have no issue with him. TAA too, looked ok IF A LITTLE RASH.... Grujic ok too. but why should more come in for this game really. We need to control the game.
Leeds will also rotate but we're better off starting strong and giving players time if all is going well. As always the smaller team will be up for it and matching their commitment in the first 20 mins is key.
you think they will? I agree a 20min run is better for a lad when the legs are taken out of the senior players than starting and struggling. young lads need to get their time gradually. Rafa used to annoy me that he'd never pick a young lad on a bench... ever.. but then were any all that to begin with i dunno. He gave Robinson a go in the last game and is our yongest ever player. If you are not on bench then you can't come on.
They've rotated in the other rounds and are doing well in the League. They will see the game v Villa on the weekend as a priority.
They shouldn't, I'd be looking at: Karius TAA Matip Lovren Moreno Wijnaldum Grujic Hendo Mane Origi Ejaria
I would not mind that at all. I'd not mind klavan getting a game either. Matip and klavan looked good together last time out.
really my point is mane for pace, henderson and wijnaldum to control the midfield more with grujic... why would stewart play a game at home... if leeds sit back there no point and if they press high he worried me last game .
Lucas and Klavan could play and do a job, I've no worries there but I would like the security of Matip.
Well i hope so then. we will see. I agree its a game to nothing for them and they are i nplay off spots for first time in ages so maybe they will...
#LFC XI v #LUFC: Mignolet, Moreno, Klavan, Lucas, Alexander-Arnold, Stewart, Ejaria, Wijnaldum, Can, Mane, Origi. Live on SS1!
