      Youth players getting a chance following cup win?
      Mar 03, 2012 03:50:15 pm
      Seeing as we have already qualified for Europe through our League Cup win and looking even less likely to finish in the top 3 do you think we might see more of the youth team players getting a run out as we have nothing to lose ?

      It's actually not a bad shout. I assumed we wouldn't see the likes of Sterling, Robinson, Flanno, Suso until next season but it might not be such a bad idsea to blood a few of these kids now that 4th looks such a reach.

      I agree! now is the time to see if some of the youth can show that they can cut it, I'm not talking about game changing performances, but a least looking like they fit in, 4th place is all but gone so they won't have the added pressure of having to perform! plus look at last year when we started playing some of the youth, it rejuvenated us!

      get them involved

      Sterling, Robinson, Flanno, Suso

      Might even be as simple as Coates and Shelvey getting regular football.

      Think it would be good to see us introduce Shelvey Suso into the 1st team as it will be a big ask to get in top 4 now which i know is still a possability

      Can't understand why Shelvey doesn't get more chances.

      Sterling was warming up with the team today. Won't be long until we see him (I hope)...

      Hard for him to be out on loan and on the bench today at the same time, don't you think?

      Yes Racer.
      We should just play players like Shelvs and Coates we might aswell. Also get some of the younger one the bench just so we know and they know that they are in the picture.
      I saw sterling walking with the team yesterday.

      Especially when he's a better passer of the ball and his distribution of it is far better than Charlie Adam.

      I'd also have Coates in alongside Skrtel.

      Yeah, I agree. Adam shouldn't be playing every game and yet Shelvey getting no chances at all. He has proved even in his cameo at Fulham last season he is a clever passer who can cut teams open.

      Coates was excellent in the Copa last summer and isn't going to just sit around at Anfield forever. He needs to be given his chance now because I have a feeling after seeing him in the Copa final that the lad could turn out to be a world class centre back if we show confidence in him. We don't want to let him go and see the Gerard Pique situation happening to us.

      I agree 100% on this. Let's get them experience. They both have a ton of talent and could be important rotation players for us next season.

      I respect Carragher a lot, but it's time to get Coates ready. And while I have no problem with Adam being on the squad at a fairly low price, I think he's a decent backup on a big club, nothing more. Shelvey has the potential to be a starter for us in a few years. Let's speed up his learning.

      Too early to say we wont get 4th but looking unlikely.If theres still a massive gap with a few games to go itll defo be time to try some youngsters esp as we're already guaranteed euro football.

      I agree. They're both 21 and 22 his year and it's time we give them some playing time.

      I think we'll see it in the latter stages of the season. Last couple of games.

      It'll only happen when we've got a better idea of where we'll finish in the league.

      Latter stages of the season as RK said.

      We should still be concentrating on finishing as high up the league as possible.

      I don't think we can even dare to contemplate finishing below Roy and WBA so no. We must fight for every point from now until the end of the season. If they are good enough, they should play, if they arent then they shouldn't. I don't want anyone playing just to see because we arnt going to finish top 4. We have to finish as high as possible.
