Can definitely see us resting a few of the lads for this one.

Think we'll see:

Reina
Kelly Carra Agger Enrique
Hendo Spearing Shelvey
Kuyt Carroll Maxi

Hopefully Sterling will be on the bench, maybe to come on in the last half hour or so.

I can see us having a terrible game here. Hopefully lesson's learned from earlier this season, but everyone's minds will be on Saturday. I know this game is pointless in comparison, but it's not a good thing going into a final with a loss earlier in the week. If the players can get the mentality that this game is an opportunity to prove themselves worthy of playing a part in the final, then maybe that's the way to go.

I can't see the players having anything else on their minds other than the Final. And can you blame them? Going above Everton would be nice, but top priority is obviously avoiding suspensions/injuries.

Massive game this

Love a game so quick after the last one..

Im just greedy for LFC that way.

Consistency is the key. It's Kennys job to get the players minds away from the final and onto Fulham. they are owed a spanking after the away game.

no doubt.. we bummed them all nite yet left with nothing
again.. Early goal is the key.. Carrol overhead kick will be the 1st snow
off the ditch.

I think we should just play the kids/squad players for this one - what's the point of risking anybody? Maybe, play Carroll up front since he didn't play on Saturday.

sat · « **Reply #90 on:** April 29, 2012, 08:03:52 pm »

Reina
Kelly Carra Coates Enrique
Spearing Henderson
Kuyt Shelvey Maxi
Carroll

Should be good enough for 3 points

Zlen · « **Reply #91 on:** April 29, 2012, 08:14:53 pm »

Was the away at Fulham that Kevin Friend freak show?
Just one of many games we undeservedly lost this year.
Hope we send them home with nothing but a bitter memory.

None of them should.

It is pointless.

Momentum is not an issue for the Final.

Need to start showing some consistency in our results and back to back wins would be a good starting point. Rest Suarez, Gerrard and Bellamy for the final and give Kuyt, Maxi and Carroll a run out.

Haha, thats the thing with being inconsistent!

Knowing us, it'll either be a poor result/performance against Fulham and a brilliant display v Chelsea
or a nice 2/3-0 win v Fulham and a stop-start showing in the final

But heres to 3 points and a trophy !!

It would be daft to risk Luis. He is our most important player by a country mile and our best chance of a goal. He is obviously full of confidence now so what's the point.

The big advantage we have over Chelsea is that our schedule is much more forgiving and they need to produce a performance on the Wednesday. Hopefully Newcastle will give them a better game than QPR and they pick up a few niggles and have a really hard night.

I want as many of our starting XI to be rested so that they can be chomping at the bit to trash the plastics.

That said I would like to take all 3 points from this one.

Matt, have fun in that van, send SHF's friend the warmest regards from us at RAWK.

We sure enjoyed our last night out against Fulham last may so let's make it a tradition. 5-2 with Maxi scoring anyone?

KopThat · « **Reply #102 on:** April 30, 2012, 03:33:36 am »

The only relevance this game has is in trying to finish above Everton and not risking our starting eleven
for the cup. I would expect to see something like:

Doni

Flanagan Skrtel Coates Enrique

Spearing Shelvey
Downing Maxi
Kuyt Carroll

I think Kenny will probably start Carra and Agger for the cup, which is harsh on Skrtel
he has been my player of the season.
We don't have too many other options than Enrique at left back for this one.
It's a chance for these players to push for a start or bench in the cup final

Not a chance, imo. Skrtel is a mainstay. I can see Agger getting pushed out to the left for the final.

If a Carra starts against Fulham, the chances of Agger/Skrtel starting the final are significantly higher. We shall wait and see. One thing's for certain though. Coates deserves a start on Tuesday.

danwarb · « **Reply #104 on:** April 30, 2012, 07:27:57 am »

Rest Gerrard and Suarez, Bellamy by giving them an hour or the final 25. Another good result and performance wouldn't do our chances any harm.

We've an extra day, but then we have to travel.

eirwen · « **Reply #105 on:** April 30, 2012, 07:31:33 am »

Just rest everyone who will start the final. I'd start Sterling too.

Mohammad Shahrul · « **Reply #106 on:** April 30, 2012, 07:33:51 am »

Based on the class, Fulham is far lower than us...
But because we are Liverpool, sometimes its fucking depressing against these lower class jerks...
Not 0-1 again because its fucking depressing... Even to wait superhero like Son Goku in DragonBall
is already depressing enough to be in action for so slow.
Have to win this as a momentum for The Blues shits in FA Cup. Must win. A must win!!!

Scouserpool · « **Reply #107 on:** April 30, 2012, 07:35:17 am »

Dont think we will see Sterling start, but hope to Fowler he is on the bench!

Mohammad Shahrul · « **Reply #108 on:** April 30, 2012, 07:42:33 am »

They lost 0-4 to Everton previously at Goodison Park. We might have a good chance against them.
Please The Mighty Reds!!! Win this.

Only four games left

Ahh, but you know what that signals - the re-opening of the transfer forum!!!

As for this game, I think it's a potentially tricky one especially if we're not playing a full first team (which I agree would be silly just days before the cup final). Fulham aren't a bad side and were made to look very poor by the bitters on the weekend so you'd think they would be looking to make amends in this match. They have some very good and very dangerous attacking players. Also, I think it's unavoidable that we'll be playing a below strength side out of necessity and that will be another thing to spur Fulham on.

On the other hand... It's important to keep the momentum going from the Norwich win going into the cup final. The plastics had a huge win (with Torres seemingly hitting some form, too) so they'll be up for it. Quite a tough decision to be made with the team selection, I think! I still think our 'rotation' players could win though, and you can argue they'd have a point to prove - players like Kuyt wanting to give the manager a selection headache for the weekend, so that could work in our favour.

Higgins79 · « **Reply #110 on:** April 30, 2012, 08:18:59 am »

Doni, Kelly, carra, coates, fabio, Maxi, Spearing, Henderson, sterling, kuyt, Carroll.

Suso on the bench.

Gulli84 · « **Reply #111 on:** April 30, 2012, 11:39:14 am »

it would be good because we have many players and off course kenny will rest stevie agger jouhnson belamy suarez although its not much fearing . chelsea is more in danger because they are still in action of ucl fourth place against newcastle

Suarez with 2 hat tricks this time.

Got to protect Suarez so will have to rely on Kuyt to get those 6 goals.

Wouldn't mind seeing Flanno tried as a midfield enforcer for this one if we are to rest Spearing

Let's just twat them and get through it withour cards or injuries. Hopefully one or two who were not playing on Saturday will be able to force themselves into contention too.

Flanno in midfield? Surely Coady would be massively better in that
role. Fulham would have a field day with Flannagan.
