    Obviously, I do hope we take the competition seriously though, but it seems we'll play Kolo and Sakho in central defence and Moreno at LB but who'll play RB?

    Can will have a big role and I'm curious to see Origi as well, I think he'll surprise a few.


    Edit: Of course Gomez at RB. This will be difficult, don't know why we kept Kolo and not Illori tbh.

      I'm not sure Toure would have benefitted from a loan spell at 34 years of age.

        I just don't think Rodgers knows what to do when it comes to Europe. It'll be interesting to see what kind of team he puts out tomorrow.

          No Clyne - who else can play RB?

              So we're bringing in all the rusty players with full all match fitness? Their a decent side & Rodgers record in Europe is embarrassing. I don't think I can see us winning this, maybe a draw.... although i'm curious to see how he sets up.

                  We offered him a new contract right? I think we should have released him tbh, Illori or Wisdom would be more interesting and more likely to improve.

                      Toure was offered a contract to provide adequate cover for centre-back.

                      I'd say Rodgers has thought Ilori and Wisdom would benefit from more regular football at this stage in their career and have more experienced players in reserve. If they're good enough, I'm sure they'll get their chance in the future.

                        Nope, me neither. I just saw him mentioned in the Echo.

                        I guess Gomez will fill in with Toure and Sakho centrally.

                          I'd rather have Illori and Tex playing in this game than Rossiter and Randall tbh, but Rodgers is boss weather I like it or not, and I don't really think Kolo offers adequate cover really.

                                Throughout Rodgers' tenure, he's never been shy in looking to youth and it appears that if they're good enough, Rodgers will either promote them or give them minutes where possible.

                                That to me highlights that Rodgers doesn't think Ilori is ready for first team football. If a big Premier League game came up where Skrtel and Sakho were injured, Rodgers - under the pressure he's under - isn't going to want to turn to a untested newbie. He's going to want to turn to an experienced pro regardless of whether the fans think he's hilarious or a disaster.
