Hull City (A) - Build up

[baitman]

To provide cover for the first team. We've been pretty lucky with injuries until the last week or two. With European footy they'd have played loads by now, but as it stands why bother resting anyone when you're only playing one game a week? Pick your best team every week, even if it means lads like Aspas, Moses, Alberto, Sterling, Ibe, aren't getting a look in.

i get that, but hopefully if we have a decent lead we can give a few lads 30 minutes from the bench, let them show what they have got.
they are either going to be chomping at the bit or not arsed anymore and wanting out.

I'd like to see Alberto involved in this game at some point, especially if the rumour about Coutinho being injured is true.

I thought you meant starting. Yes, we definitely need to give them all as much time as possible from the bench whenever we've got a decent lead in a game.

[Reece]

Bet he is glad he played 90 mins against Germany

Let it go!

If he's turned his ankle in training I'm not sure how it's connected to him playing however many minutes for England 9/10 days ago.

OK so what do we have left?

Johnson Kolo Agger Flanno
Lucas Gerrard
Hendo Alberto Moses
Suarez

That's still leaving Allen, Sterling and......yeah, that's about it.....hope Coutinho is not out for long. I say give Alberto the chance.

[Assassin]

Aspas is injured at the moment

Aspas is back training with the squad

Only that he had an ankle injury on England duty too

Anyway ****ing hope Coutinho is not out too. Not confident on tomorrow now

Definitely would give Alberto a go. We will need some creativity

[Reece]

Nah it was a thigh injury with England.

I think Sturridge will definately be more careful in the future and learn from this. We still should beat Hull, there are player coming in who will have to prove themselves.

Suarez, Sturridge and Coutinho have started just 5 games together for Liverpool and only one this season.

Wow, that's amazing. Of course there are ten games where Suarez was banned, six weeks out for Coutinho but what else? Seems Coutinho and Sturridge are tad fragile. We need another one of that caliber.

That's slightly heartening right. It means we don't completely rely on just those three.

[Fredo]

Is Coutinho also out? FFS.

[G]

Big Phil is fit apparently.

[Mostar]

Just Sturridge.

Coutinho is fine.

Aspas trained with first team yesterday so this may be opportunity for him and Moses to get some quality minutes.
