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

Faz, by the same token you can say people are assuming we're gonna lose by playing some of the young players - and that's what's sparked the overreactions we're reading here. A ball hasn't even been kicked yet!

ok play these youngsters sunday then as well

Why would we do that? There's a massive massive gulf in the quality of Young Boys and Manchester United. I think a few people are guilty of showing a lack of common sense here.

not at all you have to look at the big picture here, win, lose or draw to United nothing much will change, but if we get beat Thursday it's going to be catch up straight away in what is a quite difficult group, we need to get priorities right here, Thursday is more important than Sunday for us as a Club.

bar you just said i assumed the young players would lose , well i dont but one thing is very certain is playing a weakened team wont breed confidence in the club and just because the pampered over paid star players cant move themselves enough , manager feel they need to rest them , which in my opinion is wrong so if the youngsters are good enough for tomorrow keep them in for sunday .

bench. Sahin assaidi borini coady enrique.

bring on Sahin Asaidi and borini in the last 15 to get the ball rolling for the upcoming fixture against Man u. i believe Sahin and asaidi will feature in the Man u fixture.

It's clear to me from the squad for tomorrow's game that Brendan Rodgers wants 3 points at the weekend. Man Ure were playing tonight, which gives them an extra day of recovery time, which can be crucial. By rest all the big stars tomorrow, he's maximising the team's chances of a victory at the weekend. We're 4 league games into the season and haven't racked up a win yet. He wants to win this one.

If we played all the big guns tomorrow we'd have a great chance of winning, and then either played some young lads at the weekend or played 'tired' players (and don't get me started on that), then there'd be less of a chance of a win vs Man Ure. I know there's a balance that can be struck somewhere along the middle, but I think the squad for tomorrow is more than capable of a result. I'd be satisfied with a draw, tbh.

If Yesil bangs in a couple goals tomorrow I'd be more than happy to let him play sunday

Sahin looks like he will take one year to get a feel for the english game by which time he might be off;

i agree with this lineup more or less,certainly like to seea chance taken on yesil , and if he does well , to see him getting some run outs at anfield as sub anyway. I think down the right might be a bit weak , but what can you do? no defensive midfielders, i would have liked to see adam playing, then at least one sensible head if gerard isnt there , in the team

I worry that people are getting a bit too carried away with hyping this young lad. If he plays and has a stinker, is he too gonna be labelled as 'rubbish'?
