Oldham Athletic build up. FA Cup

[BigChief]

:duh: Its going to be 6 degrees celcius this weekend.

[SB]

With Arsenal a few days later I'd go like this:

------------Jones--------------

Wisdom Coates Carragher Robinson

---------Allen---Shelvey--------

-------------Suso----------------

Sterling------Sturridge-------Borini

Wouldn't be at surprised to see that side but I'd start with Suarez over sterling as the youngster needs the break more IMO & we need to grow the partnership upfront.

Maybe it's for pre match entertainment for the kiddies!

We have a whole week to rest for this game so I actually think we will play quite a strong team. Wouldn't want to suffer a 'giant-killing' so I don't think we will take many risks

My thoughts exactly. Arsenal have an extra game (West Ham) than us so we have a good opportunity to build the system, the confidence, understanding between Suarez, Sturridge and Borini, and score a few goals.

Sterling hasn`t played that much lately. He started vs Sunderland and the Scum, but only played approx. 60 mins of each game. He come on as a sub for 20 mins against Norwich and didn`t play at all against Mansfield.

Looking forward to this one - I live in Oldham so will be walking to the game!

A few of the lads I work with are Oldham fans (they hate the Mancs with a passion too) & they are fearing the worst - after all they've won 1 point in the last 21.... even the normally benign local paper has turned on Paul Dickov

Looks good....

Swap Allen for Henderson and that'd be my team.

-------------Suso----------------

I think that's exactly what I'd go for - rest as many before Arsenal as we can get away with although I'd probably say Downing on the right and start Sterling against Arsenal.

[PTP]

i'd go with

---------------------------------Jones-------------------

Wisdom------coates(if still here/skrtel)------carra--------------robinson

--------------------allen------------Henderson

----------------------------shelvey---------------------

Borini--------------------------------------------------------Sterling

----------------------------Sturridge--------------------


All being well Borini and Sturridge both score, 2-0 and cruising, and sub sturridge(downing and put borini through middle), henderson(lucas for some extra mins) to be rested before next game - sterling makes it 3-0 comfortable win, no injuries...move on

Johnson, Agger, Gerrard and Suarez to be wrapped in cotton wool

Is it on ITV?

It is indeed.

---------------------------------Jones

Wisdom------------Carra----------------------Coates----------------JR

----------------Henderson---------------------Lucas

Sterling-----------------------Suso--------------------------Downing


--------------------------Borini

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I'd go for

----------------Jones
McLaughlin--Skrtel--Coates--Robinson
-------------Allen--Shelvey
----------------Suso
----Sterling--------------Downing
----------------Borini

But I highly doubt that will be the side.
