Topic: Exeter City 0-1 Liverpool: Half time....

[pcch7]

I´hope Wilson plays at CB.. He´s should be able to handle Exeter I think and if we want him to develop, he needs some games. The Big Greek should play as little as possible this season..  I like him though. It´d be nice to see some of our young ones play.. Something like this perhaps, if Skrtel´s fit and if they´re so hellbent on not playing Aquaman, Meireles instead.

                           Doni
Flanagan     Skrtel       Wilson    Robinson/Insua

Maxi         Aquilani     Spearing      Silva

                 Eggnog    Carroll

[Gnurglan]

Looking forward to seeing the line up for this one. Expect Doni, Wilson, Maxi and Spearing to start.

[Cpt_Reina]

I smell a famous victory.

[Adeemo]

I expect a strong line up for this one, we've got to take it seriously with us having no European footie this season. Too many changes, especially in defence and you'll nearly always give the opposition a chance, I'd like to see something like:

                              Doni

Flanagan     Carra           Skrtel      Enrique

                   Spearing     Raul
Kuyt                                                 Maxi

                    Ngog       Carroll

[James Mac]

Really need Carroll to play and get some goals and sharpness.

Doni

Flanagan
Wisdom
Skrtel
Robinson

Henderson
Spearing
Meireles
Shelvey
Maxi

Carroll

Subs: Reina, Kelly, Aurelio, Kuyt, Sterling, Suarez, Lucas

[Adeemo]

Don't think Shelvey deserves a start after his performance last week against Sporting.

[Loo Pan]

I'd like us to keep the players who are likely to be starting the next league game fresh, we have a strong enough squad to do that and progress through the early rounds of this competition in my opinion. I'd also like to see Ngoo given a chance up front.

Doni

Flanagan
Wilson
Kyriakos/Skrtel
Robinson

Spearing
Henderson
Shelvey

Maxi
Cole (if there isn't already an offer on the table to take him off our hands)
Ngoo


I'd have the likes of Kuyt, Mereiles and Downing on the bench in case things don't go our way, as well as Sterling and Suso.

[reniformis]

How are the squad getting down there? I don't think they'd have players with fitness concerns sat on a coach for 14 out of 24 hours or whatever. That'd be no Agger, Johnson, Aurelio and probably no Meireles, Suarez or Carroll IMO.

[Passmaster Molby]

Doni

Johnson (if not fit Flanagan)
Aurelio (if not fit Robinson)
Skrtel
Kyrgiakos

Spearing
Adam

Maxi
Meireles
Sterling

Kuyt (cpt)

Subs: Jones, Flanagan, Wilson, Coady, Henderson, Downing, Carroll

[eAyeAddio]

How are the squad getting down there? ....

Charter plane.
They'll be back at home by midnight (earlier, no doubt, than some fans who pop into town to watch the game in a pub.........

[Adeemo]

Skrtel
Kyrgiakos

Not a big fan of the Skrtel-Kyrgiakos partnership myself, always looks like they're more likely to make a major mistake when their paired together. Think we should play Carra alongside Skrtel to help him through his 1st game back, playing with Soto puts Martin on edge IMO.

[Cesar]

Don't think Shelvey deserves a start after his performance last week against Sporting.

great way to give a young player confidence that..

[peachybum]

Will be interesting to see who gets selected. Only a few days before the end of the window will it be a few of Rodolfo's boys or the unwanted put in the shop window?

I'd rather NOT see any of...
Insua, Degen, Poulsen, Cole, Aqua, Ngog

Would definately like to see either starting or on the bench...
Flanno, Wilson, Robinson, Sterling, Coady, Spearing, Shelvey

[Aido LFC]

Exeter are formidable opponents

14 hours on a coach?? they're going to Exeter not the south of France

[buzzing]

Dont think we'll see Aquilani other than to put him on the shop window.

[Adeemo]

Why? You think he should be rewarded for not putting in a shift when asked to drop down and play alongside the youngsters? I'd have him on the bench.

maybe wouldn't call it rewarded, no. To be honest I didn't catch the Sporting game mate, but I dont think he should be scapegoated either. He's young and developing, he'll have off days.

Flanagan Skrtel Wilson Robinson

Fair dues. Still don't think they'll risk taking the fragile ones.

Wouldn't mind if we see Insua, Aqua or Ngog. The other three have no self-respect and are more than happy to sit and collect their hefty wages, wasting the end of their careers and can fuck right off.

[RogerTheRed]

COME ON REDMEN
Andy Carroll goals would be very welcome!

Round trip innit

Definitely not wanting the lad to be scapegoated, it was just disappointing to see him appear to put such little effort in last week when he was meant to be helping them out and then witness a completely different 2nd half performance from the team when he was taken off. Not only that but I'm not too sure he's suited to playing alongside Spearing who's in more need of a match IMO.

[John C]

It on Sky.

[Geppvindh's]

Doni Flanagan Kyrgiakos Wilson Aurelio Spearing Shelvey Maxi Cole Ngog Carroll

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Think we should take this seriously but give our younger and more inexperienced players a chance at a big game.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

It on Sky.

Yep. Sly sports 1 - 19:30

fair do's, good point there re: playing with spearing too

Exeter's results in their League so far this season.

Stevenage 0 - 0 Exeter
Exeter 0 - 2 MK Dons
Exeter 1 - 2 Brentford
Preston 1 - 0 Exeter.

They are in the relegation zone of League 1.

With that in mind, we should beat them fairly comfortably.

Erm.. There has been a long record of teams that lift themselves for games. This is their cup final for them - a massive game and they'll give it everything. They drew with Everton there not long back - they'd love to bring the game back to Anfield.

Don't count your chickens.

Unless arrangements are made for Shelvey to go on loan before then that looks OK for me mate, although I'd be tempted to swap Henderson for Cole.
How far off fitness is Skrtel.

Skrtel was on the bench yesterday, wasn't he? Would lead me to think that he was ok to play if called upon.

[Semaphore]

This is what Kenny will go with...

                  Doni

Flanno   Skrtel   Wilson   Robinson

        Spearing   Coady

Maxi         Shelvey           Cole   

                Ngog

Don't really see the point in playing Cole, Henderson has been playing safe and feeling his way into the team. Playing him against a team like this and hopefully he puts in a more assured performance will go a long way in helping him settle.

No replays in Carling Cup so it would go to extra time and penos.

Lol.

Yeah you're right - the other one was FA Cup wasn't it?

I think Exeter will be right up for this fixture. There should be a rule where the teams can opt to move the fixture. The revenue they could have got from an Anfield game would fund them for years.

The boring formation post nobody gives a fuck about:

Why waste your time doing it then?
