id like to see something like this, and this team is very much our second choice team in all positions, which shows how strong our squad is this season, looks brill.

doni
flanagan kelly skrtel robinson

spearing
maxi henderson meireles cole

ngog

jones, carragher, wilson, shelvey, sterling, kuyt, pacheco

that line up is capable of hammering exeter, maybe even so much that we could see 30mins of raheem sterlings magic

I don't think we need to play anyone leaving in this transfer window. So I hope cole doesn't play

I wouldn't mind a mix of kids and seasoned pros. Maxi, Coady, Shelvey, Henderson in midfield maybe some of the youth in attack and experience at the back. Just not a repeat of Northampton please!

There are only 3 competitions we can win so we have to try and do well in this one.
With no european football especially.

For me all the players who underperformed over the last two weeks (Henderson, Carroll) should be starting. Other senior players should be rested ahead of our game against Bolton at the weekend.

I think we need to be realistic in our selections here...

Carra - Wilson : We need a leader and that means that one of Carragher and Kuyt needs to start... I'd give Carra the nod given the fact that Agger is injury prone and if they both miss the game we might have some trouble at the back... Wilson to get another chance at first team football and partner Carra; we have limited options beyond him and Agger with Skrtel out injured.

Flangan - Robinson : Some of the kids who have been getting some first team football recently and need to be given their chance again with the team.

Spearing : With Lucas bound to start almost all our league games, we should be resting him in this game... Spearing is the only sub we have to fill the role.

Meireles : A player who seemingly needed match practice after missing large parts of preseason. Will be playing to prove he deserves a spot in the starting 11. win win.

Henderson : Still finding his feet at the club. Under a lot of pressure in the first 2 games and this should be the sort of game he'd want to play in early in his Liverpool career. A good display would give him the confidence boost he needs.

Maxi - Cole : In the case of Maxi, he's surely disappointed at being frozen out after our recent acquisitions. Another one who would be determined to prove a point to the manager. Deserves to start this one if we're honest. Cole on the other hand is a funny one for me. If you believe that hes been working hard all summer to improve and compete for a spot in the team then a start here is the least we can offer him. If he's already on his way out then theres no point risking him getting injured. If we're trying to offload him and dont have an offer yet then it might be a good opportunity for both him and the club to showcase his talents.

N'gog : Constantly improving. Still not good enough as our main backup, but if he is then we might as well get him ready for when we need him. Little point keeping him on the bench without even bringing him on even when we need him. Should be a good chance for him to prove to the manager that selling him/finding a better backup isnt needed.. If he's on his way out/ trying to offload him, see Cole.

Bench : We'll need some big guns who can change the game in case things go wrong somewhere (you never know.. sending off ?) I'd go for Downing, Carroll and Kuyt and even Enrique. Add some youngsters who can also come in and do a job if needed: Kelly, Shelvey and its sorted

I'd start Carroll in this one for sure. It's an ideal opportunity for him to bang in a few goals and get his confidence up.

According to www.wiziwig.eu (what used to be known as myp2p.eu) there isn't even a stream of the game... Can't believe that, I mustn't be operating their new interface properly.

EDIT: I worked it out, here is the page for the streams:

Nothing listed just yet...

Who says that Skrtel is injured? Wasn't he on the bench when we played Arsenal? If he was fit enough to be on the bench 3 days ago against Arsenal than I'm sure he'll be fit enough to start against Exeter tomorrow.

by **7_Kewell** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 9:06 pm

I'd play Carrolll too...he needs the match time and would help him if he bagged a few goals in the process

by **Cool Hand Luke** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 9:58 pm

No need to do anything drastic with team selection but we might want to keep a few fresh legs for Saturday. And we should probably leave out the players we are trying to sell to aviod injury.

Reina

Kelly Carragher Skrtel Aurelio

Spearing Shelvey

Maxi Meireles Downing

Kuyt

Subs: Carroll, Suso, Sterling, Lucas, Flanagan, Robinson, Doni
