Looking at that team there are only two possible conclusions:

a) Kenny is a bad manager who has no idea what he is doing, or
b) Kenny has penciled-in a Cup Final team and half will play today and half at Fulham midweek to keep them fresh, with chance for a couple of others to make a case for themselves.

I'm guessing b).

As long as it's not a 4-4-2 I'm actually OK with that lineup. Would much rather see Coates start over Carra, but obviously Kenny feels differently about that one as he has all season and he's sticking to his decision.

If it's a 4-4-2 with Shelvey or Henderson on the wing then I don't like it at all, but as a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 I think it's actually quite good.

But momentum is massive. Look at Chelsea - they unfortunately have momentum with them, even when not playing well. I though before last weekend we needed three wins to get that momentum before Wembley - well we lost, so now there's just two games, but we just have to win those two IMO

Momentum ( sporting momentum) means nothing in cup competitions. For years and years we have all seen teams do shite in the league and then look like world beaters in a cup competition.

Heck, we've done fuck all in the league for a good 4 months and have beaten teams in the cups that have been either better than us ( United, City, Chelsea ) or in better form than us ( Everton in the semi ).

Just hope that we dont get any injuries and it wont be too bad of a day.

He does deserve more respect that what he gets on here but explain why you are glad he starts today.

Just curious if others feel the same way as me is all.

Happy Shelvey is starting, hopefully he'll really get to show us what he's made of, like he began to at Blackburn before the sending off. One question though, where the fuck is Carroll?

Reina: If someone had told us at the start of the season that we'd win 2 cups and finish 8th, we'd have taken it.
Interviewer: How important is catching Everton.
Reina: We already beat them in the semi final, which was more important.

I've got this horrible feeling Carragher is getting some game time before he starts next Saturday.

drogba would tear him a new one...

Would have prefered Coates playing today, let alone because Grant Holt would be a decent challenge

I respect the hell out of Carra. Just like I respect Sami Hyppia and any other player who has been brilliant in the red shirt. I just don't think Carry has the legs to play CB any more. He shouldn't be picked on sentiment.

Can you imagine the complaints if we played a full strength side v Norwich and Fulham and lost the final because our players were tired and Chelsea'd rested some of theirs?

I really hope we do win the FA cup. We have not won it though, so it is not a good idea to say we have won it already.

And that explains choosing Carra over Coates?

Yes, if there is an injury then Carra will be on at Wembley not Coates. Hence he gets a game to keep him sharp. Coates will get his chance.

Mighty_Red · « **Reply #463 on:** April 28, 2012, 05:13:33 pm »

Very surprised that Carroll isn't in the squad hope he isn't injured, though we do have a game on Tuesday. Think Skrtel is being rested with that in mind. Hope Craig Douglas Bellamy can fire, he has not quite been at it for the last few weeks.

COMON U REDMEN!

That is exactly why Coates should be playing in a useless game. To see how he is an if a proper CB is needed in the summer.

You don't think they watch him in training and have a pretty good idea of that anyway. Fucking hell it's like zombie dawn in here.

Not too displeased with that lineup. People whinge about Carra, but it's a fixture that means little to the grand scheme of things. Interested to see if it's a 4-4-2 lineup with Suarez and Bellamy up front of if it's more of a packed midfield.

I'd be amazed if it wasn't a 4-5-1 or 4-4-2. Not sure why people think it'll be a 4-3-3 or w/e. I think Suarez will be pretty isolated if we play a 4-5-1 (like we did against Manchester United at home), but it could work.

Just curious if others feel the same way as me is all.

If he dropped Skrtel to rest him, then fair enough. If he dropped him because he got a small knock or something, fair enough. If he dropped him just to play Carra (and get him to 700 games)... then no comment, because it's probably better that I keep my mouth closed.

No. Because only an idiot would describe being rested a week before a cup final as being "dropped".

Skrtel's played all but one game in the league I think (suspension after Tottenham away) Fairly sure he;s being rested, as he's made a few mistakes in the last 6 weeks or so, and he'll probably be our most important player against Chelsea, as I very much doubt that we'll manage to prevent the ball from consistently reaching their strikers without Lucas in there.

That's not to say that I agree with it being Carragher in there instead of Skrtel though

Atleast eveyone has a great excuse if Carra plays and we lose the final.
