Agger will start to get him ready for Saturday hopfully.Play Downing and Carroll..And let Downing whip some of those balls into the Box for carroll.
Why wouldn't you rest players. 3 games in 7 days. Everton have rested a few today and I think they're right. The wembley pitch can be very draining plus it could go into extra time. I'd definitely rest a few.
I'm not sure spite is the way to get the best out of your players. I also don't think 3 games in 7 days in April is going to make players who've played nearly a whole season any sharper. I reckon it would have the opposite effect if anything.
I think he will rest a few of the bigger players and play a few fringe players. This would be perfect for sterling to come in and get a bit of game time. Blackburn will be up for this big time so I fully expect a tough game.
Would like to see some fight in the players in this game as no doubt Blackburn will have it and will fancy their chances. I would start with the 11 expected to play in the semi final and then make the changes needed to rest players in the second half after hopefully!! taking the lead.
Id go with ---------Reina------------ Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique ------Alonso Lucas------ Downing Gerrard Suarez --------Torres---------- 4-0,I'd fancy us to win and go back to the top of the league.
Kenny will rest a few for this .... ...................Doni Flano.............Coates.......Agger.......Fabio .....................Spearing......Henderson Maxi...............Kuyt/Shev.........Bellamy/Sterling? ....................…Carroll
Bellamys needs another game to get his match sharpness back but I hope it means he can play in the semi if not I'd use him as a sub only. Sterling for Bellamy ?
Rest a few, that's a bloody laugh. Surely you only do that when you have players on form and who are a must to start. I suppose you would put Gerrard and Suarez into this category! However we cannot afford to lose any more games this season, we are playing for pride? Look at Everton today, they rest all their key players and absolutely thump Sunderland at home 4-0. We need to put in a performance, we need our tails up to give us some confidence going into the semi-final. I don't care what anyone says, Everton are favourites based on their form. Who would I like to see start, well I really don't know anymore. What i wold say is let's see Carroll and Downing start for a bloody change. Let's see Sterling get some game time, he would give us much needed balance down the right. I play Henderson alongside Spearing in the middle and Maxi behind Carroll. It's difficult to see us get anything from games at the minute, we have a soft belly and simply don't score enough goals. Blackburn are fighting for their lives and will be right up for it. Who knows they may underestimate us and if so and we get amongst them we could get lucky. The Everton game really does worry me and I really hope in game 33 of the PL season we get a performance for once! The score, you're joking, who knows!
