Anzhi Build up Home

[SB]

This is a match that we really can't afford to loose. Anzhi head the group on goal difference with 4 points with Udinese. We're on 3 points so a loss would be terrible as we have to play the top two away from home.

We must play a strong side which isn't ideal with the derby next weekend but what do we do?

I'd like to see Morgan or Yessil given a chance. Do we keep Jones in goal or play Pepe?

[BigChief]

Our youngsters do better than our seniors anyway. The reason we lost to Udinese in the first place was because we went with our seniors. Brendan should stick with his confidence in the young guns.

So pick the X1 for me.

I agree. The derby is way more important than this. Play the kids, always play the kids and just see where it takes us.

It shouldn't just be the kids, some of the kids are important first teamers, the likes of Sterling shouldn't be involved, they should be saved for the league games, let the senior players who won't be involved against Everton play.

Yeah probably see Downing, Shelvey, Carra & Coates. Hopefully not Cole though.

[yamiedo]

A decent group run is fine for me. Wouldn't care if we go out at the group stage.

[Muddled]

Jones

Flanagan
Coates
Carragher
Robinson

Henderson
Allen
Shelvey

Assaidi
Yesil
Downing

[Liverpel]

Lass Diarra has been ruled out of both games against us.

[BigChief]

So pick the X1 for me.

Jones

Flanagan
Coates
Carragher
Robinson

Henderson
Allen
Shelvey

Assaidi
Yesil
Downing

I'd go with this team except Wisdom for Flanno. Bring on Suso and Sterling in second half for Downs and Hendo.

Interestingly, you only have to swap Wisdom with Johnson and Yesil with Borini and you've got the same 'senior' selection that you say was the reason we lost to Udinese.

Henderson
Allen

Assaidi
Yesil
Downing

However I'd swap Flanagan for Wisdom and Downing for Cole.

Joe Cole? I'm interested as to why?

[Lee]

They're both ****, but I think Cole is slightly less ****.

Plus he's still on our books so we might as well play him if we're fielding a weakened team.

Really? I remember seeing Gerrard and Suarez on the pitch together. Must have been subbed on. Either way GJ, Stevie and Luis didn't raise my confidence in a game they were trying to take 'easy'.
