KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Your Team to play Young Boys away on Thursday

We cannot afford to risk anyone when we have a home game against United. We will take it seriously, but its not the right time to do so just yet. Still plenty of time to grab points.

I don't think we even have a choice with the number of players we have in our squad, how can we expect to play in 4 competitions with 2 games a week? The Europa league will be played by our youth team mainly i think. FSG looks to be poker players, they gamble. The difference is, as opposed to poker, in football your bluff is always called, however, your risk can pay off like Sterling for example. They are playing a dangerous game which has not paid off yet, well see in a few weeks.

I happen to like Brendan Rogers and really hope he does well and can pull us around, I thought he got it badly wrong against Hearts in the previous round, but I was prepeared to give him a walk over. If Brendan Rogers fields an inexperienced team and we get beat on Thursday I simply cannot defend him and will be straight on here pulling him to pieces, the man has been here long enough to know now that Europa League success for us this season is far more important than trying to beat United on Sunday just so we can try and finish 7th, 8th, 9th or 10th which is all we are going to finish anyway wether we beat United 5-0 or get beat 5-0, the United result wont define our season while Cup success can still raise our flagging profile in Europe a little bit.

So last season under Dalglish, aiming for the top 4 should have been more important than silverware, yet this season under Rodgers going for silverware should be more important than trying to improve our league position? Double standards?

As for the threat to come on here and "pull him to pieces", what are are ya? That's talk I'd expect from a child going through puberty, tbh. Grow up, man.

Pathetic post! ged just do one mate, criticism when it due is okay in moderation if constructed appropriately.

What your insinuating is just stupid juvenile behavior which is not welcome!

A bit too early for this post I think. Let's see what comes out in the next 2 games before judging BR on his choices. It might work against Young Boys who are just 4th in the very weak Swiss league. For Sunday I just hope BR does as well as Dlaglish in the corresponding game last year, ie a draw. I will not expect a win as we did last year in the FA cup (2-1) and 4-1 the year before in the league.

your all asuming the resting the players will make liverpool win on sunday , gerrard played 2 games in a week for england but suddenly cant for liverpool , sorry dont agree with playing weakened teams

just be careful with what you say as posts are being monitored, leave the personal stuff out of it and keep it to footballing stuff please...

Under Dalglish I never targeted 4th place, I honestly believe 4th place is beyong a Club like ours in todays game and for that reason I think the domestic Cups take priority. I honestly dont think it makes any difference whatsoever if we finish anywhere between 8th and 12th this season which is looking a distict possibility anyway, so why Brendan does'nt prioritise a good run in the Europa against at most, a very hollow victory against United if it were to come off is baffling.

Our stock around the world is falling dramaticaly every season our co-efficent I think dropped 6 places just from last season alone, if we can somehow get a decent run this season in the Europa League then maybe our profile could raise a bit where it might help us get a decent enough player or two in for next season, use the trophy run similar to what Athletico Madrid have done which seems to of benefited them a bit. If we get beat on Thursday and go out of the group stages I think it will harm us and our reputation further.

Nope, I just want to see the kids play in some competitive games...

Yesil, Assaidi have not payed yet, They are going to be featuring for the first team moving forward.

Suso, Should be included as part of the fast track process we are going through.

Plenty of teamn have introduced 4 or more youngsters into first team action, Why not us?

I couldnt care about this weekends game, We are going to rise to the occasion like we normally do.

If the other games where our team needs to play properly. They just dont seem to take the likes of Sunderland and West Brom seriously.

the games against your Sunderland, West Brom, Newcastle, Everton and Fulham's of this world are the most important games which will shape and define our season, not games against United, Chelsea, Arsenal and City.
