Birmingham (H) Build up

What could possibly go wrong with that

Only Rudo could come up with a theory like that

[pezzzer]

meireles has had maybe one bad game these last few months, to start cole over him woud be madness

We're at home to Birmingham City ffs, if our performance is going to be so dramatically affected by one change in the whole team then we're in serious trouble.

Meireles has been hit and miss for most of the season, in the last few matches, he's been more miss than hit so imo should be taken out of the team and Joe Cole should be given a chance.

Give him a full 90 and see what he can do. This is the ideal match for it.

seriously mate every game is like a cup final if were going for 5th place or maybe 4th, meriles has been way better in his first season than cole who hs been dog **** tbf.

mentally i think cole is resigned to the fact he's leaving so he's hardly going to die for the shirt is he?
meireles on the other hand has had a great debut to the prem and will only get better for us, so why risk a dead man walking?

this.

well not exclusively, but it sure seems that way sometimes.

It's extremely frustrating.

Lost home and away to Blackpool, lost at home to Wolves, lost away at Stoke, drew with Wigan home and away, lost away at Blackburn, West Brom and West Ham.

It's been the same story for us for several years now - pull out all the stops when we're the underdogs, but when it comes to the lesser teams we take them lightly/lose concentration or whatever.

The reserves is the ideal match for him IMO. He's done nought in a Red shirt and your still banging on about the perfect game for him Are you JC in disguise or what?

[RedReet]

I don't see why he doesn't play the odd reserve game. It's not gonna do him any harm and I'm sure it would be a boost to some of the kids to be playing alongside him.

[anfieldanfield]

As long as Carroll, Suarez and Dirk start, we'll win the game.

And he may pick something up himself Like effort

Maybe he can't get a game in the reserve team
