7 Starters who have represented our u-18 or u-21 teams before getting into the first team. 5 more on the bench. Only 8 senior players in the entire squad. This'll be fun at the very least.

Robertson not even on the bench is concerning, that's 12 first team regulars missing from this one. I hope Harvey and Virg get taken off at the hour mark or sooner. They've basically run themselves to the ground in this set of fixtures and we can't keep pushing them.

Virg is needed to protect that young midfield and forward line for sure but we'll need him for the league games in top shape

Robbo is ill

Think it’s going to be really tough tonight. Norwich will look at it as their best chance being to try and bully the kids. Looking forward to it.

They blew their chance a few weeks ago.

You'd hope VVD is only playing first half.

Given we've spent all out right backs in the starting line up, feels like Gomez is gonna have to go 90 minutes which also feels a bit odd.

Just hope we come through with no first team injuries or extra time

No injuries and I'll be happy. PL is the holy grail this season now.

Don't worry, Suarez is going to rip them a new one.

We really are threadbare. Please no injuries to the few first teamers who've made it into today's squad.

Magix · « **Reply #406 on:** February 28, 2024, 07:45:48 pm »

The big hope is that we can put this game to bed by the first half and sub out the key players asap.

Don't think we are in a position to risk playing VVD, Gakpo and Gomez with the schedule we have but Klopp knows better.

there has to be a balance between youth and experience or you end up getting battered like we did in the League Cup when we were in the World Club thingymabob

I really want to see us win this, we can at least push the derby back.

How close is this to Southamptons first team?

Angelius · « **Reply #413 on:** February 28, 2024, 07:50:56 pm »

Can’t believe VVD is playing this. Crazy but it is what it is. With the lineup, it hopefully means only 45 mins with Konate playing the other half.

We don't have much alternative at the moment.

What's gonna happen? Haven't the faintest. This is a Jurgen team. So long as the mascots don't get on by mistake we have a good chance.

Gomaz could play CB and then play another kid in midfield.

Well, that could even it out a bit.

PS- How the fuck can Harvey Elliot walk, let alone play football?

I am guessing that has already been considered and not been managed.

Dont get the Van Dijk selection, part of his return to form has been him being looked after in terms of minutes.

Need a leader at the back to have any chance of going through. Will be difficult enough as it is.
