v Man City (H): Build Up

[Muddled]

DATE: Sunday, 1 March 2015
KICK-OFF: 1200 GMT
LIVE ON: Sky Sports 1 & Sky Sports 1 HD

Hopefully we will have that spark back with Coutinho, that solidity with Sakho and a midfielder in Henderson.

[wiw]

Markovic, Sakho, Henderson and Coutinho will all come back in you'd think.

Tough to pick the front three. Sturridge might be knackered and possibly injured (?), Sterling was utter **** yesterday and Balotelli needs someone to hold his hand up front. Borini isn't up to it. I think he'll probably play Sterling there.

Agreed, that is the team we need to send out there. Sturridge and/or Balotelli have no energy about their game whatsoever. Maybe come on as our impact subs.

[Chris]

Please Manuel, play Yaya and Fernando in a 2. We'll overrun them if they do.

They are a good side but they arent all that special. Lets **** these cunts.

Was just thinking it'll be nice to get this one done then have a weeks break but noticed we play again on Wednesday, ****ing hell.

[Paddy]

Really hard to decide on what line up is suitable for this one. Sturridge is the biggest factor. Tempted to have him running in behind and Coutinho doing what he does.

[Shaggy]

Sturridge will start, surely. Got to.

[Paddy]

Sturridge will start, surely. Got to.

Absolutely, he needed those minutes last night, and if he scores the winner against City, then **** the EL.

[Muddled]

It has to be

Mignolet

Can
Skrtel
Sakho

Markovic
Henderson
Allen
Moreno

Sterling
Sturridge
Coutinho

[Muddled]

Maybe Ibe for Markovic if we fancy some defensive steel.

[Paddy]

I'd start Ibe

[Doc_Piptorious]

Was it not reported that Ibe was carrying a knock of some sort after last night's game?


Makes more sense to start the fresher Markovic imo.

[SB]

Maybe Ibe for Markovic if we fancy some defensive steel.

We've played a few games so rotation is required. Markovic to start for me

[DannyMan2006]

I'd definitely start Markovic, either wide or behind a striker is the only consideration.

Henderson in midfield. Couts obviously. Sakho in. Wonder if he goes with Glen RWB.

Sterling - Sturridge

Question marks on who gets the go ahead up top but I fancy Raheem starts with Danny on the bench.
I'd start Allen and have Can on the bench to bring on. Both will be tired, makes sense to switch them both at some point.
Likewise I'd start Moreno, but if he tires I'd have Ibe to come on and switch Markovic to the other wing.

For me, this is what I'd like. If Sterling was as bad as made out yesterday, then maybe Lallana in for Sterling?

Toure Skrtel Sakho
Markovic Can Henderson Ibe
Lallana Coutinho
Sturridge

Half the team will be fresh plus options on the bench.
