Well well Liverpool fans our friend the special one José Mourinho is planning to play his reserve team on Sunday. From the information I gathered so far the following are going to play partly because they are suspended or not eligible for the return leg of champion league on Wednesday. Frank Lampard in the team John Obi Mikel in the team Ba in the team. Salah in the team Oscar in the team Ashly Cole in the team Is he going to risk the following?; Gary Cahill Cesar Azplilicueta Ramires William Fernando Torres As for goal keeper is he going to risk Schwarzer? Man City are complaining already and the FA may take action against him. Most of the above players are internationals and possibly going to Brazil for the world cup. Torres was cheaply bought from Liverpool for £M50 Provide a line up for José Mourinho to get him out of trouble.
Should be dealt with today. Apparently they never do it on the day of a match involving the team. Word is he will get four games. The FA can do f**k all about his team anyway as they changed that rule after the Blackpool farce and its a squad game. As for the team, it wont be that weak: Ba or Torres up front with Salah (cup tied for CL) and Shurle/Oscar Matic (cup tied for CL), Mikel and Lampard (both banned for CL) in MF Cole and Swartzer will play (both need game-time) Ivanovic may come at CB as he might play in the CL. He could risk resting Cahill (very important to them IMO) and play side-show bob Do he have another FB to cover Azp if hes rested? I reckon: Swartzer Azp Cahill/SSB?? Ivanovic Cole Matic Mikel Salah Lampard Schulre/Oscar?? Ba/Torres??
It's all smoke and mirrors, everyone is wise to Maureen's mind games especially Rodgers so there is no way he over anyone would take this seriously. I'm sure the team will be preparing by concentrating on our own game as BR has said all season, especially since the title became a possibility.
Can't see the FA taking action against Ramires. First team player for a team that are outsiders for the title. They will probably just ignore it and hope people forgot after Jose's antics post-match.
The ****ing cowards jumped on any Suarez ban they could because of twitter messages but have ignored the constant stream of tweets for the last 48 hours about Ramires
Memento! Perfect for the "mind games" that everyone thinks Mourinho is going to dominate us with. I found the gif on twitter though haha.
He's been charged. He'll get 4 games. Never in doubt. http://www.sportinglife.com/footbal...chelsea-manager-jose-mourinho-with-misconduct No need to panic, as i said earlier, they don't like announcing it when the guilty players team have a game that day.
Let's be honest, the FA are pretty inconsistent when retrospectively punishing players. Huth got away with stamping on Suarez last year and nothing was done, despite the ref not seeing it. I wouldn't have been surprised if **** all happened here.
Matic and Salah are both cup-tied so they'll play. Lampard and Mikel are both suspended for the second leg against A.Madrid so they'll play too. Terry and Cech are injured so Schwarzer, Cahill, Luiz/Ivanovic will play. Eto's is injured so its Torres or Ba.
it sounds to me like a champions league squad schwazer (go figure) ivanovic (or a kid) cahill Cole matic lampard mikel salah Ba shurrle/oscar or 4-2-3-1 in short its a full strength side barring injuries
What incentive do they have not to? It's the end of his season one way or another. If it were me, I would appeal knowing he is available for this game and worry about the extra game ban for not being overturned when it comes (4 months time).
I think they'll play there strongest team. This is just mind games from Mourinho to try and lure Liverpool into a false sense of security
