The timing of this game works out quite well. With Johnson, Aurelio and Agger returning to full training it gives us a chance to give them 45 minutes each. I expect we’ll use this game as a warm up for the carling cup game against Stoke one week later.
Yeah thought the same my self, good timing, the returning players could use this game.
Doni
Johnson Coates Agger Aurelio
Henderson Lucas Adam
Bellamy Rodriguez
Carroll
Wouldn't be bad if we game Gerrard a few minutes as well. Spearing, Suso, Coady, Flanagan, Robinson, Wilson and maybe Sterling and Ngoo/Morgan should also get a chance.
Very strange time for a friendly but hopefully it will be a good exercise for the likes of Johnson, Coates, Aurelio. Id also play Carroll and Hendo for confidence. And some of the young lads like Suso
