Oldham Athletic build up. FA Cup

[Cormack74]

Get Sturridge on the pitch and give him the chance to get the 4 in 4 record.

After that I don't mind.

[kalesh]

I'd go for

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

But I highly doubt that will be the side.

Would love to see McLaughlin given a chance.

Studge will start because we are trying to build up his match fitness!! Suarez on the ebnch and will replace Sturridge after 65mins.

--------------------------Jones----------------------------
-Wisdom-----Skrtel------Agger-----Robinson--------
----------------Allen------Gerrard------------------------
--Sterling----------Shelvey------------Borini-----------
---------------------Sturridge-----------------------------

Surely Gerrard won't play? He's played virtually every minute of every game, if we can't rest him now we'll burn him out before the end of the season

I know he could get injured in training or hurt walking down the street, but I wouldn’t risk Suarez. Bar the obvious fatigue injuries, I would be worried about some no mark defender trying to make a name for himself by maiming him or in an inexperienced official doing similar.

I’d definitely start with Sturridge, Borini, Allen, Shelvey and maybe give Robinson a run out.

I know the refs hate him but couldnt see them getting away with a cheeky elbow or two footed tackle on Suarez tbh.

What league/division are Oldham in nowadays? Are they performing well?

They've taken 1 point from the last 21 on offer so we'll probably loose.

Regularly to us unfortunately.

Oldham are loosing 1-0 at HT v Notts Cnty in League 1

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


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

Wisdom Coates Carragher Robinson

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

-------------Suso----------------
Sterling------Sturridge-------BorinI


Looks good....

Used to walk to Boundary Park with me Dad in the 60's!!

You be with the home fans then?

Quite like that lineup. Would definitely start Borini.

Nah managed to get 4 away tickets - my wife knows someone at the club

They lost again last night so 1 point from 24! They are quite **** now unfortunately

Hopefully they're not keeping it all in reserve for Sunday

Sods law that they play the game of their lives on Sunday.

Just like Bradford did. Bradford beat the great Villa side that humbled us on our own patch 3-1
