Who's your starting 11 for tomorrows game? Would love to see Pacheco start. Surely he's prob the most match fit of the lot after playing competitively with Spains U19's recently. Anyone know if he's back at melwood?
I'd probably go with a strong team, due to them not getting much game time before the arsenal game. Something like this ------------------Reina Johnson-----Skrtel-----Wilson----Agger ------------------Lucas ---Pacheco------------Gerrard------Cole ------------Ngog-----------Kuyt
With the season starting sunday week I would play about 7 first teamers, otherwise they'll have practically no match time prior to the season start. As a club we took a big hit with the world cup, need to re-focus the players for a very big start to the season with the gunners, man city and the scum in the first 6 matches.
I am sure Redabbey will clarify but are'nt the 4 world cup lads (Reina,Torres,Kuyt and Babel) illegable for this match? Maybe even the english lads too.
Roy said something today about Torres not playing due to still recovering from his injury. That would make me think that the rest can play.
Forgot about that, did the same squad have to be submitted for the two ties at the outset? So none of the big boys will get a run out. The squad for the first game was; Liverpool squad: Cavalieri, Aquilani, Agger, Jovanovic, Kyrgiakos, Lucas, Wilson, Ngog, Spearing, Darby, Shelvey, Kelly, Skrtel, Eccleston, Ayala, Hansen, Gulacsi, Amoo, Dalla Valle, Ince.. Still should be enough to beat them but I was thinking of the game more for fitness. I'm sure Joe Cole said something about his first competitive match being on thursday though...
Aggers out.Jova,Stevie,Carra,Cole and Glen will all start. Would expect something like Pepe,Johnson,Carra,Skrtel,Aurelio,Kuyt(?)Gerrard,Lucas,Jovanovic,Cole,N'Gog. Anyone heard anything about Maxi?
None of the world cup finalists will play. The sports science team will maintain the same stance that they had for all other players at WC in that they will at very least need a weeks training before a game. All only been back since Monday apart from "R to the Bizzy Babel" who was back last friday, so he may sneak an appearance
"Agger is injured so won't take part and the other World Cup players who are have only just returned to training won't play." What happened with Agger ?
what time is the draw tomorrow for the play off round could we get celtic EDIT:06/08/10 12.00CET Nyon UEFA Champions League Play-offs 13.30CET Nyon UEFA Europa League Play-offs
Celtic are seeded so we should avoid them presuming we get through of course.Could get TNS or Dundee United.
The playoffs are 19th & 26th Aug. Does this mean the west brom game will almost certainly be pushed out to the sunday? Any chance of it being a Monday?
Would think it would very likely be a Monday game.Doesn't look like Sky have a game down for that night yet.
Been our last game before we play Arsenal this imo is a huge game of intent for season to come .. 5-0
