how can he trust cole is beyond me , plus ok skrtel is ill but the thought of carragher really worries me and shelvey bombed out completely .
Very surprised to see Shelvey not in the squad!
Aside from that, it's the exact team that was rumoured last night. Looking forward to seeing how we get on with that team and formation - although I'm not getting my hopes up!
Shelvey is at the Bridge apparently. Nobody has mentioned an injury yet.
Must have been part of the travelling squad and not made the final 18?! He's been a bit lacklustre lately - although I thought he did pretty well midweek, even if opinion was mixed with others on that. His touch has been really letting him down over the last month or so.
I'd still have him in the squad over Joe Cole though. Maybe BR is thinking that the whole 'player playing against his old club' syndrome could work in our favour if he comes off the bench. Personally I don't think Joe Cole has it in him. Midweek wasn't his worst performance, but I don't think we're gonna get any joy out of him in an LFC shirt.
