Liverpool v Swansea Capital One Cup Build up Thread

[Pablo]

Never going to make it at LFC: Wilson, Pacheco, Coady, Flanagan, and Sama.

Players I'd be looking to give games instead: Yesil, Robinson, Sinclair, McLaughlin, Adorjan, Ngoo and Ibe.

[Lents]

Are we on tele?

Must be

No lad, Utd Chelsea

[Gibbo]

Ah of course

Never mind, choppy streams for the win.

[Daniel 7]

Not for me and my son, we're going

[RedReet]

Are we on tele?

Must be

Think this clashes with the NExt Gen match.

[baitman]

mclaughlin looks great going forward down the right, but havent seen enough of his defensive qualities. maybe play him on the right instead of suso.
would much sooner see suso played behind the main striker [yesil] as he is a dangerous player in that position, something similar to yossi

[Mostar]

I'd go:

Reina (if fit, give him a game before the serious stuff again - if not, Jones)

Flanagan
Coates
Carragher
Robinson

Henderson
Shelvey
Suso

Assaidi
Yesil
Downing

I'd be tempted to play Sahin as well. Last couple game he was subbed very early and he needs more playing time to get use to physicality of English league.

Flanaghan for me lacks concentration

He is a very young lad and the only way to get better is to play. I'd definitely give him the chance on Wednesday as long as he is fit.

Agree on the Flanagan consensus. It's a shame his last real chance was Blackburn where he was ****ing dreadful, I can't see him being a Rodgers full back though. I just don't think he offers anything going forwards.

You can say the same thing about Wisdom as he doesn't and never will give you anything offensively.

[Lents]

Agree re: Wisdom but he's not a right back for me, centre half all day long.

[SB]

If he's to have any sort of future at LFC he needs games, further up he doesn't really inspire anyone, but overlapping Assaidi there is potential.

I really rate Robinson, but we either need to get Downing in and around the first team or shipped out in Jan. Playing him will result in either of these.

[Liverpel]

I'd go:

Reina (if fit, give him a game before the serious stuff again - if not, Jones)

Flanagan
Coates
Carragher
Robinson

Henderson
Shelvey
Suso

Assaidi
Yesil
Downing

Maybe Bren will try Henderson at full-back


Reina

Henderson
Coates
Carragher
Robinson

Sahin
Shelvey
Suso

Assaidi
Yesil
Downing

[SB]

Maybe Bren will try Henderson at full-back


Reina

Henderson
Coates
Carragher
Robinson

Sahin
Shelvey
Suso

Assaidi
Yesil
Downing

I'd be more than a little bit surprised if he did. Henderson's asset is his work rate. Not his defensive abilities or line hugging overlapping runs as you'd expect from a wing back/ defender like BR likes. I just can't see that happening personally.

[greenbloodred]

I'd like to see Adorjan involved at some stage in this tie

[pondus]

Reina's injury got worse in training before the Everton game, so Jones will be in goal for this one according to .no

[Slinky Skills]

Yesil really needs a game doesn't he

Yesil does.

[Vermilion]

Yesil does.

What ?
