Time for a few fringe players to get a run out

Team I think will be

Jones

Kelly
Wisdom
Agger
Cissohko

Allen
Alberto
Lucas

Sterling
Borini
Ibe

that should be a good enough line-up to do the job.
id like to see kelly in at CB though

If I was Rodgers I would have a real heart to heart with Borini before the game.

"Listen son, you have been rubbish since day one and have made me look real bad in my first season"

"I don't like to look bad and today is your chance at redemption"

"As a famous scholar once said, Opportunity comes once in a lifetime, so don't let it blow"

*Cue the Eminem music* 

"The club wants to see goals today and you are going to be the man the scores"

"Now go out there and let the world see that you ain't a flop son"

I'm gonna go 1-0 to the us. Sturridge will score an overhead kick from 35 yards out in the 12th minute. But we'll be on our back foot defending for our lives for the rest of the game.

Kelly not involved. Too unfit apparently.

Lucas & Gerrard should be rested for this one.

I'd start with this:

Jones

Wisdom
Toure
Agger
Cissokho

Allen
Alberto
Henderson
Sterling

Aspas
Borini

Aspas could do with a goal. We dont seem to have enough cover at the back and sitting Lucas out would be a gamble if we top it up with a new CB pairing; Agger/Toure could use the game time together and Johnson is one of the first names you'd want to rest in a game like this.

Id play something like:

                      Mignolet
                 Wisdom   Agger
Johnson                         Cissokho
              Henderson Allen
Ibe               Alberto           Sterling
                     Borini

Mignolet doesn't need to be rested and needs to keep his confidence going.
Toure could do with a rest as he is older and wisdom needs some time at CB since Coates is injured, Kelly unfit and Sktel MIA. 
Alberto should get a start and a chance to show us what he's about.
Borini desperately needs a game and a goal or two as he's fallen off the map completely

We should play more or less full strength, just rest Coutinho. It's prob the only trophy we look like we have a chance at this season.

what on earth made you say such a dumb thing?  We still have a chance at the FA cup or are we out before it's started?

Hustler is a known wind up merchant who has been banned previously, won't be long before he/she/it is gone again.

just seemed a daft thing to say.

FYI game is on Sky Sports 1 for those in blighty

Really keen to see Alberto put his stamp on the midfield. Of all the new signings he is still the most unknown entity for me...

I'd like us to rest a few in this one but I don't think we can afford it. I have no faith in Borini to score the goals even if we're playing against Notts County. I'd go with something like this:


                                  Jones

         Wisdom       Toure     Agger      Cissokho

                            Allen       Alberto   

                                Coutinho

                Aspas        Sturridge       Sterling


Get it done in the first half and then bring the key players off.

the way we have ran out of steam in our last two fixtures i wouldnt play anyone who will be lining up against united this weekend.
if we win on sunday we can open up a five point gap on united so i`d let them all re-charge their batteries.
the likes of sterling, borini, ibe, alberto, allen etc etc should have too much for notts county anyway.
