KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum CONFIRMED TEAM & MATCH THREAD V WEST BROM

Remember that during the international break most of the older players where away, so the training has been done more with the second string than the first.

The more training we do the more the system will become natural. This is why losing could have been beneficial, as would be being knocked out of europe.

Seeing that we won, the positive is that moral is increased and the youngsters will have an extra game to look forward to.

In a way i feel a little sorry for Downing, as he obviously has no place in the team and I can see a loan move in January. Then I think about the money he would earn and the sympathy goes.

fantastic result, well made up and well done Brendan Rogers he took a chance and it paid off. I think after tonite all those players deserve to start the Norwich game, I dont know what message it would send out to those young kids if thet get dropped after bailing the Club out tonite and against Young Boys last week.

I agree it was always the rule in the old liverpool whoever you were good game you are in bad game you are out

loan stewart downer to a first division side

Is it me or does the young boys pass and keep the ball better than the older players?

Youths are playing like this since Rodolfo Borrel brought in rite?

I think it should still be the same now, I totaly disagree with players coming back into the team or keeping there places just because they cost so much or earn so much, how can this sort of reasoning be right, surely it has to come down to footballing values before anything else.

I am disappointed to have missed the game as I couldn't weak up early enough. Great result and we move on thankfully its at Anfield next match against Swansea. I will watch highlights later on when they become available but the most positive thing out of this is (according to some report) the fans were chanting Rodgers name. Wonderful news if true, we need to trust this man and give him all the support he needs because clearly he is the right man to lead us back to sucess. Well done young lads and Rodgers.

I too missed the game but have watched some brief highlights and the build up to both goals was excellent. Brad Jones messed up for the WBA goal and Sahin's 1st goal was a little fortunate but I will take the win for sure.

Credit to the young lads who are showing the way and well done Brendan Rodgers for showing faith in them. His system is definately improving amongst the players and at least now the "senior" players who didn't play have some pressure on them now against Norwich on the weekend!
My only concern for the youngsters is that they don't get over played and burnt out. Playing at this level is a difficult assisgment and because they are not used to the rigors of senior level, they may tire towards the end of the season if not managed well. We also don't want them to begin picking up injuries as we want them to be long term players for LFC and be part of the bright future that is near!
Trust in BR to do the right thing by them all and I can see us going on very decent run.

Just loved the initial build up to the winner.
