FA Cup weekend.

This is the team I would pick - gutted that Ibe is cuptied.... we should have really recalled him after the chelsea game!


---------Ming-------
----Flanno--Lovren---Sakho
-------Can----Hendo-----
Manqillo---------------Moreno
------Lallana-----Sterling
-----------Mario----------

I am assuming Flanno is back - if not keep Can back and replace with Lucas.

I would like to rest Skrtelm Gerrard and Markovic.

Hopefully mario can get some game time.
 
We really need to stay in this cup, but obviously we don't want to get fatigued for the semi final. It's a difficult balance, but hopefully we can start really fast and finish them off in the first half.
 
By all accounts Lennon is doing a great job since he came in. Let's hope that doesn't continue at the weekend.
 
M Balotelli Illness 24th Jan 15
B Jones Hip/Thigh Injury 31st Jan 15
J Allen Knee Injury 24th Jan 15
G Johnson Groin Strain 24th Jan 15
D Sturridge Hip/Thigh Injury 31st Jan 15
J Flanagan Knee Injury no return date

Yes, this is the game to rotate and rest players before Chelsea:

--------------Ming---------------
------Can--Lovren--Sakho--
---------Allen---Rositter-----
Manquillo--------------Enrique
-------------Lallana-------------
---------Balotelli--Lambert---
 
I think we should play our strongest possible team, we do not want to get knocked out. The mighty Hesky might come back and ruin our cup run!

If I had to make one change I would bring in Mario, assuming he has recovered.
 
Forgot Lovren existed already...

Keep Lazar and can in IMO, they're improving from regular games and don't look like they need a break yet.
 
I think something like this should be enough:

mignolet
lovren skrtel sakho
manquillo henderson * enrique
lallana borini sterling

* Allen if fit, otherwise it's between Rossiter, Williams and Can
 
-----------------------Ming-------

Can --------------- Lovren ---------- Sakho
(for 75 mins)

Manquillo ---- Hendo------ Gerrard ------ Enrique
......................................(for 60 mins)

----Lallana ------- Lambert --------Sterling
...............................................(for 75 mins)

Subs from : Ward, Skrtel, Lucas, Williams, Rossiter, Markovic, Coutinho, Borini, Ojo, Canos

Injured:

M Balotelli Illness 24th Jan 15
B Jones Hip/Thigh Injury 31st Jan 15
J Allen Knee Injury 24th Jan 15
G Johnson Groin Strain 24th Jan 15
D Sturridge Hip/Thigh Injury 31st Jan 15
J Flanagan Knee Injury no return date
 
--------------Ming---------------
------Can--Lovren--Sakho--
---------Allen---Rositter-----
Manquillo--------------Enrique
-------------Lallana-------------
---------Balotelli--Lambert---[/quote]

Looks like Allen and Balotelli will both still be out.
 
lazar barely played for the first two months of the season. He can fuck off with a rest.

keep playing him, this is the sort of game he should be imposing himself on.

Don't we have 11 games in February (assuming winning vs. Bolton) ?
Disregard this drivel. I thought I saw it somewhere but obviously bollocks !

I don't care if he didn't start playing until December, with a game every 3 days all players will need to be managed and we should start that right now whilst we can. Our next 5 PL games are West Ham (H), Everton (A), Spurs (H), Southampton (A) and Man City (H) .. our Top 4 slot could well ride on getting 3-4 wins and a draw from that lot.

I doubt we have 11 games in February
 
Que ? He's capt. of Ivory Coast whose last match (unless they progress) is on the 28th Jan. Am I missing something ?


Yeah. I was referring to Peter having Kolo in his team despite the fact that Rurikbird posted at 12.20 that he was in Africa.
