Hopefully can get a decent run in this again. Important we do not underestimate opposition at all tomorrow. We will see a mixture of seniors and youngsters tomorrow. A strong bench in case it's heading towards upset. Jones Wisdom - Coates - Carra - Robbo Coady - Sahin/Allen Shelvey Suso - Sturridge - Assaidi/Downing Wouldn't mind seeing the likes of Ibe in there but doubt we will. Sturridge starting not as likely as I'd hope as Rodgers has alluded to him starting on the bench. Cannot be anywhere near sure regarding Assaidi these days either, every chance he won't even be in the squad let alone starting 11, in which case I'd expect Downing to start. Being told decent chance we can see Suarez start. Would be surprised to see this, however Luis is the sort of player who builds on every performance. Perhaps 60 strong minutes here would put him in a great state of mind for United. Stevie, Pepe and Pacheco not involved. First two are in Dubai and Pacheco is in Malaga as he is not involved in the game. I reckon Pacheco could end up being part of the Ince deal.
Same. Apparently just had surgery on nose but was on bench for Sunderland so assume he's availiable. Strong rumours we are going to cut his loan short now, mainly because we aren't lacking in central midfield, he isn't getting games and could do with the wages. Hopefully not much truth in such rumours. Guys class.
I would like to see assaidi tomorrow, he impressed me on the few occasions I have seen him, quick and direct. If he doesn't get time in these games then when will he.
Rumoured side: Jones, Wisdom, Coates, Carra, Robbo, Lucas, Allen, Shelvey, Suso, Downing, Sturridge. Very strong side.
Great touch and made even better by the fact those at the club have clearly put a lot of thought into it. Great stuff.
