KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Your Team to play Udinese in the Europa League on Thursday

I have a feeling Suarez will start, I hope so anyway, he's getting better with every game this season.

Very tough one to call but I'd go with...

---------------Jones----------------

Flanagan--Carra---Coates--Robinson

------Henderson-------Sahin-------

--------------Shelvey--------------

-Downing------------------Assaidi-

---------------Yesil---------------


Suso, Pacheco, Wisdom and Joe Cole are shouts to be involved aswell, so this team could be way off in reality.

I think we'll see a mixture of senior pro's mixed with youngsters, BR will want to Qualify ASAP from this group, This win and one more should do it.

Then once we qualify he'll have a couple of games to check out and assess some of the fringe players prior to the January tranfer window.

I now think we'll see something along the lines of..

Jones

Wisdom - Coates - Carra - Robinson

Suso - Henderson - Shelvey

Assaidi - Morgan - Pacheco.

The subs bench will be where the senior's will be in this one. Compared to previous matches where they were not even on the bench

Subs

Riena - Skrtel - Johnson - Gerrard - Suarez - Sterling - Sahin

Something along those lines I fell, Perhaps one or two of the Seniors will be in the First eleven?

I completely forgot that Shelvey would be eligible for this game, Which makes me think he'll play for keep up his match day fitness.

Still unsure if Sahin can play both games and I would prefer to have him ready for the Stoke game the weekend.

The result the weekend against Stoke is far more important though, We do need the three points from that game, Which will have a knock on effect on this game's team selection.

I forgot to mention Morgan. Anyone know why he wasn't in the squad for the Young Boys game? I didn't hear anything about an injury

I thought that Flanno has been dropped to the under 21's? Does this mean he can be called up if needed?

Downing, Should be frozen out the Squad, We have a 17 year old rookie and Assaidi who have proven to be more effective. Selling him in January should be a priority.

Cole could be on the bench but I would rather see the back of him as well.

I don't think any of our young guns have had a very bad game, They have all represented themselves and the club very well.

The clearing of the decks in the Summer has actually proven to be a blessing in disguise.

We just need to sort out our LB, Do we keep Enrique?

Get rid of both Downing and Cole hopefully in January. Then get a striker, A Winger and perhaps a few more bodies to enhance the squad.

There is a winning mentality lately away from home with the wins at YB/WBA and Norwich. Need to get something going at home now for the fans. Think it might be more of a mixture of players this time. A home win would put us in a very very strong position in this group after 2 games. I am sure Shelvey will play at some point and Joe Cole too. Downing, Henderson also in there with the likes of Sahin, Assaidi and possibly Borini starting. Defence I cannot see us taking any risks with players as we are a bit short if anything goes wrong but Enrique if fit would be in there .

I'd rather get the points in the bag first, and then swap the good players for the no hopers. We might not get any serious injuries and end up knocked out of the cup un-necessarily.

because yesil has stepped ahead of him.

rodgers has said gerrard and suarez will take part in tomorrows game.

Yeah, just heard that now about Gerrard and Suarez. That puts an entirely different spin on things. It's quite pleasing too. It's great to see a lot of young lads getting a chance, but I think it would be wise to play a few first teamers tomorrow to ensure a result. The sooner we clinch qualification to the knock out stages the better. If we can qualify with 4 games gone, then the last 2 will be free to try out the youngsters further.

Young Boys was a different sitation because A: they're not quite of the calibre of Udinese, and B: We had a much sterner test in the following days against Man Ure. Udinese followed by Stoke calls for a little bit more balance.

Also, with regards to Morgan, I understand that Yesil jumped into the starting lineup ahead of him for Young Boys, but I was very surprised to not even see him on the bench.

Really? Where did he say that? Got a link for the quote?

That does certainly put a different spin on things. Although they could be on the bench and come on for half an hour or so..
