KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Carling Cup - Liverpool v Northampton

Im expecting Roy to use a lot of young players/fringe players on Thursday. I would put some experience on the bench just in case but I would like to see something like the below line up agaist Northhampton. Also maybe find a place on the bench for the likes of Suso, Silva and Stirling. I know they are very young but 5-10mins at the end of the game if its won wouldnt do any harm.


----------Jones
Kelly Greek Wilson Mavinga
Eccleston Lucas Shelvey Ince
-----------Pach
-----------Babel

Amoooooo!

Sorry, did I say that out loud?

I think Roy will stick with his plan of not having the big guns on the bench to force the B team to deal with the pressure. They've shown they can handle it, so I expect much of the side to be the irregulars. Your list looks pretty interesting though! Could go a ways with that team.

if pacheco doesn't play i want a new manager

I think that a few of you out there need to understand that the League Cup realistically could be our best chance of any silverware this season and to be honest I would rather take this than nothing at all! While I agree on blooding some of the promising players I would also like it to be used as an opp to work on our major problem (well one of them!) and that is central defence - hence I would like to see Kyrigiakos and Agger paired with Wilson coming in off the bench, There is no doubt that Babel should start up front with Pacheco in the whole and I would still be using the likes of Jovanovic in the team. Also Maxi should be no where near the ground!

MMmmm Northampton town at home... Wonder if we will use our usual tactics this season of sitting back trying to contain them, hope Pepes can keep us in the game with some heroics and then hope we can nick a 1-0 win.

God its sooooo depressing when you get to the stage that im almost certain that Northampton town will play the better football at Anfield.. I dont think they will win by any means but they will be the ones trying to play football.

Actually I'm pretty upbeat about the second team; moreso than the first! A side with 5 wins from 5 starts in the Europa Cup is surely good enough to beat Northampton at Anfield, regardless of who is playing the football. I want to see starts for Pacheco and Babel, with Shelvey in midfield. Greek, Agger, and Wilson (2 to start, 1 on the bench). Kelly and Jones need a game. I suspect Lucas will captain the side. Would like to see Mavinga as well; we're seriously short at LB and I hope he can impress. Did I mention Amoo already? Draw the other names from a hat; anyone in the squad who didn't play vs the scum will do.

i would like to see the youngsters given a chance. the way i see it , if the likes of sheverly are good enough to get in to the northampton team then they are good enough to play against them. let be honest if our youngster aint good enough to play against northampton at the age of 18 they will not be good enough to play for liverpool in a few years regardless of gaining match pratice in the next few years. ( am not counting sterling and suso in this becoz they are very young, but i know they would walk into any championship team. they are gr8 prospects.

lfctv : "Liverpool's Jonjo Shelvey, Michael Ngoo and Andre Wisdom have been called up by England U19s for the first qualifying round of the European Championships next month.
