Topic: Preview: West Bromwich Albion V Liverpool 26 September

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

how many games is shelvey banned for ?

3 for a straight red. That goes for FA, Capital One and Premier League games i think

[lfcmaster]

Henderson is miles better than Coady

coady is a good player would be good to see him get some game time

any ideas why ngoo isnt on the bench ?

[elpistolero7]

Henderson is miles better than Coady

And Allen is milles better than Henderson. Your point is? I think he was just referring to the fact that its a young, exciting lineup, and players like Coady may finally get the chance to play in the first team where Rodgers can see if he is good enough to make the step up or not?

[HoinkDoink]

Did Sinclair play in pre season? Cant think of who he is

[Andy]

Lukaku vs Carragher isn't something I ever wanted to see again. Hopefully he doesn't see much of the ball though.

Lukaku or Carra?

Hopefully Coates will take care of Lukaku...

[lfcmaster]

sinclair ahead of morgan and ngoo is a surprise

[clinical]

Captial one cup. Wtf

[Smug Cassandra]

Awesome! Cannot wait!

jaja me neither. Sink or swim par excelence!

[elpistolero7]

Think we'll play well, the kids will do well and it'll be tight. Hopefully Yesil can start on his way on being competition top scorer tonight 

[RichardM]

sinclair ahead of morgan and ngoo is a surprise

Apart from hard work, Morgan hasn't really shown much in his appearances so far. I'm sure he'll get another chance but unlike Sterling and Suso he didn't make the most of his opportunity. Ngoo is a different question, not sure why he hasn't got a chance yet, hopefully we'll see him in an EL game or two.

[memoriesgone]

coady is a good player would be good to see him get some game time

Actually many people who follow the reserves don't even think Coady should be a regular in that side. He hasn't progressed much after all the promise he showed in the U18s which is rather sad. Hopefully he can turn it around.

I guess BR doesn't fancy Ngoo. I'm a bit baffled by the way he's been completely overlooked.

[Upinsmoke]

Decent wba team that

[The Infamous_LFC]

When is N'goo going to play for us he will be a sure hit in my eyes.

[tommy LFC]

sinclair ahead of morgan and ngoo is a surprise

I remember Kenny took Sterling on a European game last year with no intention of playing him, just to let him sample the first team atmosphere and say "well done so far, you're progressing nicely, keep working hard and this could be a regular thing". Brendan could be doing something similar, did Sterling no harm!

[please, I have my reasons for it but...]

Rafa Benitez may look at the Liverpool squad today and think, I played a key role in making this team happen.

[G8S7]

We all know Carra isn't good or the same player any more, but here in RAWK he totally discriminated.
We need a leader on the peach that can lead the youngsters. Who would lead them, downing?

[Escorcio]

Liverpool doesn't need a keeper.  You keep dogs.  You save goals.  Liverpool needs a savior.

Works best if read in Brendan's accent/voice

lmao

[Passmaster Molby]

Bring on the Youth!

Good to see Brendan isn't afraid to give these kids a chance, its the way Barcelona built their current squad and if its good enough for them.....

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

When is N'goo going to play for us he will be a sure hit in my eyes.

it looks like Roders is giving our youth strikers chances one by one. Morgan had his chance, Yesil is having his chance now and I'm sure that Ngoo will get some game time in this or the EL.

[Passmaster Molby]

Rafa Benitez may look at the Liverpool squad today and think, I played a key role in making this team happen.

I think he will probably be proud and pleased that these lads are getting a chance to shine. Rodgers deserves credit for consistenly being brave enough to give these lads a crack.

[Crosby Nick]

I started uni the week Sinclair was born. Never felt so old!

Well, whatever happens it'll be more interesting than watching the likes of Voronin, Degen or Jovanovic.

[bird_lfc]

Just for anyone that is interested. . .

Average age of Starting XI : 23.63 years old
Average age of Bench:  18.71 years old

Combined Average of Match Day Squad: 21.72 years old

[Paul-LFC]

Younger than me by six

Me too. I officially feel old

[tommy LFC]

Robinson will learn so much about positioning by having a screaming Carragher beside him.

I would love to see one last Carra goal before he retires. At the right end of course!!

Good god! Me too, that's massively disturbing!

[lamonti]

That's like a squad Le Terrible would pick... absolutely bonkers bench. Criminal lack of strikers at the club frankly. Am encouraged at least that we're all trying to play football the same way and certainly more exciting than throwing veteran no-hopers like Degen and Voronin. Good luck lads you'll need it! Will we get a fine for picking this team?

[SteLFC91]

Just for anyone that is interested. . .

Average age of Starting XI : 23.63 years old

Fucking hell, if this goes to extra time I hope we have permission from their parents to keep them out after 10pm.

Only if we win.

Stark illustration of where Downing is in the pecking order.

[El_Pistolero]

Yes - Robinson!

What a day for Sinclair too, against his old club. Morgan/Ngoo can't be best pleased though.

[johnhouldinglfc]

Well, whatever happens it'll be more interesting than watching the likes of Voronin, Degen or Jovanovic.

When you mention those players it really illustrates how serious FSG have been in terms of cutting wages

[MBL?]

Good god! Me too, that's massively disturbing!

I cant believe that twat went to uni either.

Rafas legacy lives on.

[helmboy_nige]

Am loving this "sink or swim" attitude with the kids.  Very cool.  Good luck out there lads.

[Agger]

It was a long time ago I felt this excited about an early round league cup fixture.
