Apologies if this is somewhere else on the forum, have v.little time at work today!! with all our injuries what do yous reckon our first 11 will be for tomorrow?
Hard to decide between Allen, Sahin, Suso and Henderson in the team. But judging by Suso being on the bench, I reckon he will start. Full back positions are hard to call. ------------------------Reina-------------------------- --Wisdom---Skrtel----------Coates---Johnson-- --------------Gerrard---------Allen------------------ -------------------------Suso-------------------------- -------Sterling------------------------Assaidi-------- ------------------------Suarez-------------------------- If he is fit enough to start two games in a week, I'd be tempted to put Sahin in for Allen. If Borini is fit to start then he will, in place of Assaidi. Though part of me feels that Downing will start.
Allen has been one of our better performers, he was rested for this Norwich game so I doubt very much he will be replaced. Think Suso is moe suited to the front 3 anyway.
What I expect to see: Reina Wisdom - Skrtel - Carragher - Johnson Gerrard - Allen - Sahin Suarez - Borini - Sterling What I'd like to see: Reina Wisdom - Skrtel - Coates - Johnson Gerrard - Allen - Sahin Sterling - Suarez - Assaidi
Think it will be... Reina Johnson -- Skrtel -- Coates -- Enricky Allen Gerrard -- Sahin Sterling -- Suarez -- Assaidi
Do we not have some sort of consensus on here that Suarez is far more effective when NOT played in the middle as a striker?
I think it is great that all four of Rodgers' signings are in strong contention for the starting eleven
Stewart Downing has been issued an ultimatum that he needs to seriously improve his commitment and quality or he will be gone. Enrique is in the cross-hairs too............................................. You heard it here first
I think you're team is the more realistic. For me its a toss up between Sahin and Suso for the 3rd midfield berth, Sahin is technically brilliant, but Suso has quick feet and drives at the opposition. I would like to see Sahin to come on as a sub for Gerrard and Suso to start the game.
My team: (Brackets for if player unavailable due to injury). ----------------------------------Reina----------------------- -Johnson (Wisdom) - Skrtel - Coates -- Enrique (Johnson) -------------------------------- Allen --------------------- --------------------- Gerrard ---------- Sahin ------------ -------- Suarez ------------------------------------- Assaidi ------------------------------- Borini (Yesil) -------------- I'd pick Coates over Carragher, for height, to defend against their ariel threat. Leaving Suso out was tricky, but Sahin deserves a start for those two goals. Suso or Henderson on for Gerrard later. Henderson on as a more defensive sub, if we're winning; Suso a more attacking sub, if we're drawing / losing at the time. Assaidi has played himself into a start, I'd say; and Borini, if recovered, needs games. I'd give Yesil a start if Borini is injured, as he looked lively.
question; what has sterling done wrong to get dropped? not tha ti don't agree with assaidi but borini wouldn't get a game if i were manager
