Newcastle vs LFC Build Up Thread

[Lee]

Good lineup

[Mostar]

Good to see Carroll starts but it won't be easy for him.

He'll go through what Suarez is experiencing when we play away..

[lickedlollipop]

ynwa

[Bender]

What, the two who have won nothing are laughing at European Cup winner Jamie Carragher?

who cares what he's won...... am talking about the game it's self and
they'll have fun tearing him a new ass .......he's a weak link on defence no reason coates is not playing

[Gibbo]

Why give Sterling 10 minutes and when he looks good not give him another chance?! Gutted he's not on the bench really wanted to see him play.

Better side than past games though, although there isnt much to play for.

He did great for those few minutes he played last week but he is a young lad that really needs to be carefully managed especially at this age and I trust Kenny's view here.

Also if you look at our bench it would be tough for him to make it there anyway as we do have an extra winger available, which wasn't the case last week.

yeah think he should have at least been on the bench

Ditching the cliches, what does this actually mean?

[Mark79]

Sterilng's inclusion against Wigan was due to injuries. Bellamy and Maxi are back now and that team and bench look stronger than last weeks.

It means imo that he is 17 years old kid that has very fragile built and imo is not ready for physical aspect of PL on more regular basis just yet.

Playing him too soon and too much can affect (and slow down) his development in negative way.

[Gibbo]

Imo managing him well would be reawrding him with more playing time because he played well, its the same with the random drops of Carroll after he has a good game.

Its not as if hes going to play Maxi anyway.

Exactly what I said.

I think we are putting too high and unrealistic expectations on this kid.

He is not "Messiah" yet but he could be in few years from now if he is carefully eased in rather then being rushed.

I still dont really get it, TBH. I know what points you're making, but i fail to see how they relate to the prospect of Sterling being on the bench and maybe getting 10-20 minutes.

8 minutes last week and 10-20 mins today would hardly represent an onslaught of PL football in a short space of time. Likewise, i'm not sure how badly giving him 10-20 mins today would affect or slow down his development. On the contrary, putting him into that environment, if done properly, can aid his development significantly.

So yeah, i still dont understand what harm it would do him to be on the bench and maybe get the latter stages of the game, in the right circumstances.

What is playing him for 8 minutes and then for maybe 10 or 15 minutes, if it isnt easing him in?
