Rubin Kazan (A): Build Up

[The_weatherman]

Can't wait for our games now Finally some excitement and some fun

[RichC]

I think we should line up as we did on Saturday. Play like we did at the weekend, get the win and we'll be in a very decent position going into the last two games.

We're not playing Palace until 4pm on Sunday and we're at home so that's a positive.

Beat Rubin and Palace and it would've been a pretty good ten days.

Get ourselves into the habit of winning if we can

Play some of the kids with a decent bench, its 5,500 miles round trip to the arse end of Europe.

Bogdan
Randall/Skrtel/Lovren/Moreno
Can/Allen/Milner
Lallana/Teixeira
Origi

Mig, Sakho, Clyne, Brannagan, Firmino, Ibe, Benteke

Teixeira is not registered for the EL

Bogdan
Randall/Skrtel/Lovren/Moreno
Can/Allen/Milner
Ibe/Origi/Lallana/

Ibe/Origi/Lallana/

Now that looks pretty good.

Rest Clyne as Moreno got a rest in the league cup. Can also got a rest then so he can play. Think Lallana played? Only as sub but I'd maybe look to give him a night off.

I also think Benteke & Firmino would be good for 45mins each so I'd maybe start Firmino and bring on Benteke at HT. Start Origi on the wing, he's played there before for Lille.

Lucas doesn't play internationals so I'd maybe have him in the squad as he will get a rest after Palace. But I'd only have him on the bench.

[DannyMan2006]

Final thought, this is a game we could do without losing.

Whatever team we pick must get a result. If we put out a shadow side and get beat I'd be very disappointed. I know we need a victory v Palace, but we also need one on Thursday.

[Nicey]

I wouldn't go full strenght to be honest. Palace are likely to get something off us next Sunday if we do.....

I would like to see:

-------------------------------------BOGDAN------------------------------------

RANDALL-----------TOURE------------------------LOVREN--------------CLYNE


---------------MILNER---------------ALLEN---------TEIXERIA-----------------


IBE----------------------------------ORIGI---------------------------LALLANA


Milner should be okay because he didn't play against Bournemouth last week. I think that Lallana and Ibe can drop deep to make it a 5 man midfield as well.

That is the team I would go with also, that should have enough about it to win .. how is Toure ? he came off with a suspected pulled hamstring last time out

[frank the tank]

Why is he injured?

[The_weatherman]

So, looking forward to this then, the PC is today I presume.

Bogdan
Clyne - Skrtel - Lovren - Moreno
Milner - Allen - Can
Ibe - Firmino
Benteke

I would hope for something like this, but wouldn't be surprised to see a full strength team. Origi can come on later, depending on how the games pans out.
