Not bad. I'd hope that Kenny would have a look at Pacheco too - the lad has got something. If we could get Kelly and Pacheco playing regularly that would bring some much-needed fresh legs into the side.

[Guy_Incognito]

I can't b*****d wait for this now

[Epic Swindle]

Think it's time for an injection of youth and Kenny is the man to do it. I'd like to see something like:

 

Pepe

Kelly Skrtel Agger Aurelio

Maxi Lucas Mereles Babel

Pacheco

Torres

[Red Kent]

Pacheco needs to be eased in and not thrown in. He's not ready yet for the physical side of the game.

 

I'd like to see Amoo given a chance as well.

Three sleeps

 

exactly how i feel!!!!

 

i cant deny it, ive been so disinterested this season thus far, i hated the old owners, i despised Hodgson, and our football was absolutely dire

 

now i feel like a little kid again, i can barely wait for the blackpool game

 

roll on wednesday

Pepe

Kelly Skrtel Agger Aurelio

Maxi Lucas Mereles Babel

Pacheco

Torres

 

I'd play that, It will be a fairly open game and Babel's pace with Pacheco's ability could help a lot

[Flasher]

Kenny will pick Dirk all the time reckon. Hope not though. He's not the future.

[carrafan]

The present is more important.

[Rimbeux]

Kenny will pick Dirk all the time reckon. Hope not though. He's not the future.

 

 

He could barely run by the end, he needs a spell

[Big Red Machine]

Reckon he'll play same XI as today but with Babel for Gerrard.

 

Or cole if hes fit.

[Chili Palmer]

He could barely run by the end, he needs a spell

 

its not fitness with kuyt its just form, when he's out of form he looks very lethargic.

[CarraLegend]

He looks done after 60 minutes now.

[Flasher]

He looks done after 60 minutes now.

 

He does too much running for a man his age. ;-) Thing is, the older he gets the less he'll be able to run so much and the less use he'll be to us.

 

I would only play him against top 6 home and away, plus a few others away maybe. All other home games I'd rest him.

[Beardsley]

Hope he takes a good look at Suso also. The kid looks to set the u-18 on fire with some excellent play.

[Gunga Din]

it does actually feel like the start of a new season. personally, i'd play Cole in behind torres, and play Babel instead of Maxi, as Blackpool get forward in numbers and Babels pace could help open them up.

 

its great to be able to talk about teams and formations again knowing that the managers instinct is to attack and play to our strengths

Kuyt Cole Babel

Torres

 

I could live with that. If anyone can explain the role to J Cole, its Kenny.

[Andy-oh-six]

We'll be knackered after today. Blackpool rested the first team yesterday so they will be rested. It'll be a tough game but at least we have someone in charge who will get us playing there.

[dave]

I think we'll smash them.

 

And the bitters...

Babel ?

 

I'm delerious with excitment at Kennys return but not that delerious

 

Hodgson came in with ideas about Babel and quickly changed him mind.

[fred milne]

He's never going to be ready unless he gets games. I'd honestly prefer to see him given games ahead of Cole.

Who's the ref?
