Liverpool Football Club v West Ham Utd - FA Cup - Saturday, 5:30pm

[Case]

No thread on this so far - We've all been consumed by debates about Ayre, Sturridge, Texeira and Moreno, I guess.

 

Anyway - Hard to know what Jurgen will try and do with this one - League game next midweek, tired legs from Wednesday, but he's not the type to not try and win a game, so I expect to see something like ....

 

Mignolet

Randall Caulker Lovren Smith

Allen Branagan Can

Ibe Benteke Texeira

 

Subs - Ward, Sakho, Flanagan, Lucas, Stewart, Lallana, Ojo

[Molby]

we lose 3-0

[PhilM]

I'd be tempted to start Ojo over Ibe. He deserves it for his performance in the last round, plus Ibe hasn't been very good at all in the last few games. Also, might be a good chance to give Ward a game?

Ward and Ojo need to start this.

Ibe can play as well. Play with 2 wingers.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Good team please

 

Tell yer ma, yer ma.............

[rednotdead]

Guardian's predicted side

 

[Mike]

We're not winning that

[Molby]

No chance with that team

[Nate.]

They've battered us recently.

 

I don't care of folk are tired. We aren't getting top four. Let's try and win this and not f*** about.

[Sion]

Not sure Klopp would start that midfield to a top half PL side.

[Bostonian]

we're due a win.East London Olympians gonna get battered.

[McBain]

Not sure Klopp would start that midfield to a top half PL side.

Me neither. This ain't Exeter

[Hassony]

I'd rather we concentrate on the Europa cup

[Nate.]

I'd rather we concentrate on the Europa cup

 

I'd rather we win everything we can. Rest players against no marks. West Ham made mugs of us recently. f*** that.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

The lads got a rest on Tuesday with that non-performance, get them out there in the Cup. West Ham are due a little bit of pay back and I'd like to get to the 5th Rd, a nice draw there and its the quarters.

[Gethin]

Be very surprised if Flanno starts after 105 mins on Tuesday

[Molby]

I don't wanna get knocked out the f***ing cup

 

Wouldn't mind if Sturridge was fit and we had a chance of 4th, with some momentum to look forward to

Or if we'd yanno....signed someone good this window

But in the absence of that I can't see what we're saving ourselves for

We ran a record high(157 Km) in that non performance, Westham have had a week to prepare.

 

Don't think playing most of those lads would be a wise decision.

[Dan]

Noble is confirmed as out so Guardian is wrong.

[McBain]

Noble is confirmed as out so Guardian is wrong.

.

 

He wasn't bold though. Smart

[RafaShanks]

Think it'll be a mixture of first teamers and youngsters. That team posted on the page before looks ok to me.

 

Personally i would prioritise FA cup over league game as we won't finish in the top 4.

[Tommy Cockles]

They really haven't done the competition any favours by having a full League programme in the midweek following both the 3rd & 4th rounds.
