Yeah but you want our best players dropped don't you? the ones that will come in may or may not be premership quality - hence my caution. I don't think it's worth taking the risk in our position. If our strongest XI are capable of losing to stoke, west brom & villa then it's quite feasible that a weaker side is more than capable of losing to Mansfield.

The only reasoning I'd have to play our XI (assuming thats sturridge as well) is to see how they gel together, before the Man U game.

Who would you like to see play the game? Sturridge is a must for me. I would consider going something like
Jones
Wisdom Coates Carra Robbinson
Coady Allen
Ibe Suso Assasidi
Sturridge
Subs
Riena, Gerrard, Lucas, Skrtel, Johnson, Suarez, Sterling.
Be a good opportunity to rest most the seniors. I'd bring on Suarez for the last 20 mins. To keep him fresh as he likes to play as much as possible.
For Coady, Ibe and Robbo it's a great chance for them to be integrated into the Senior Squad.
Should be an easy win. Hopefully Sturridge should grab a brace.
I'm going for a huge 6-0 victory. Goals Galore!!!! Well maybe not but we should have a big win anyway. Agree with this team; maybe would put Sahin in for Coady, just because I don't know what is happening with him yet. So if he is planning on staying for the season it would be good to give him a chance to show what he can do (if anything).

From the looks of things your both idiots. Here is whats going to happen:BR is going to feild a reasonably weak team with the likes of suso,sahin,coates and other fringe players. He will probably hand sturridge his debut aswell if not a start then from the bench. Our team will still be worth millions more than mansfeilds and we will walk out clear winners.Watch this space( )

I tend to think similar in these kind of fixtures too Faz, but if we're playing Inter on Tuesday, I think it has to be a reserve team, given that we have Man U the following weekend, thats two tough games coming in quick succession to this one, so I feel we would be remiss to risk our first team players in a fixture we should be able to win with our back up's.

If the Utd game was 2 or 3 days after and we were fighting for the league title or a top4 finish then yes, I could accept a weakened team. As it is though, our best hope of any success this season is in the FA cup. Whether we win, lose or draw against Utd will make very little difference to our season.
