You learn something new everyday. Thanks for your time and reply.

Without getting complacent I think we could change our whole XI and still get the win, but would probably keep some of the experienced heads in there and those that need a little more match-sharpness and confidence.

For me we should definitely rest Gerrard, Coutinho, Sturridge + Agger and give some youngsters a chance in a competitive game.

Would like something similar to this...

                              Jones
           Kelly     Toure    Wisdom  Cissokho
                         Allen   Lucas
                            Alberto
                 Ibe                  Sterling
                            Borini

Think Lucas still needs abit more game time as he looked abit shaky against Villa and any similar mistakes he would make against United would be punished. If things are going well I would like to bring Aspas on at half-time, think a goal would do him a hell lot of good. Again, as long as were not complacent I think we will easily get through to round 3.

Will be a good game to introduce the likes of Alberto to English football. However, we want to make sure we win so the team has to be up for it.

We should have enough in our locker to play our second team, would like to see the likes of the fringe players given a good run out. Maybe have a few first teamers on the bench just in case, but realistically, we shouldn't need any of them and keep them fresh and ready for next Sunday.

Off to this game as well in the Kop, with it only being £15, it's a bargain and for those people moaning that they can't get tickets for Anfield, this is an ideal opportunity to see the Reds playing.

This should wash Oldham down the toilet.

Which Oldham ?  ? 

Geddit ?

Exactly, too right. Depending on what time I get out of work, hoping to make it up myself. I'll grab a ticket on General Sale.

This one came a bit too early for me money wise as I'd have been up for coming over and as Cas says a great chance to see the team for all those who can't afford the league ticket or just can't get one.

Give us a text if your around Paul, I'll be in the usual place in the Sandon, having to do Scott's job of sorting tickets as he's not coming on Tuesday. I'll give you that money if I see you too.

Will do Cas, I'll probably not know until the day whether or not I'll be able to make it up.

Si, let me know when you're next over. Be good to meet you and talk all things Liverpool with a few drinks.

That's the plan Cas.

Nice one hun

Will do mate.

Strange if we do first meet in Liverpool with you being a Belfast lad.

I know, I've been over here nearly 4 years. Rarely get to go home so I think it's likely to be here.

Ive read that someone on the RAWK forum who seems to get things right quite often said that Rossiter is likely to be on the bench for this game, would be great if he is like, great potential!

Don't know if you saw it but read a blog on the Offal earlier from Frank McParland who said its amazing how well he has done. He said he was the perfect academy player, working hard in training and his studies, what with getting good GCSE results.

Most likely.

I almost expect you to have a Scouse accent and all.

I would pick a mixed side for this one. Rest some old legs such as Gerrard and Toure and bring in some squad players and get them some time on the pitch.

                              Mignolet

Flanagan         Skrtel          Wisdom         Cissokho

                        Allen   Lucas  Henderson

                 Sterling          Aspas         Borini

Maybe give Yesil or Morgan a few minutes and Assiadi if anyone can find him.

Should be a reasonably easy game and hopefully Mignolet can keep his clean sheet record going.

A decent run in this competition should be the aim, considering we are not in Europe this year. Never under estimate the opposition, although should be a comfortable win for the Reds.

Why rest the goalkeeper? I can never see why.

In my opinion, Mignolet needs to continue his experience of competitive matches, and this would be great for him. He's not exactly going to be 'tired', although I can understand the fear that he may get injured. Sure there's little chance/risk of that though.

Put out a medium/strong team with some of our younger players. I want a comfortable, strong victory. Clean sheet too.

See County have failed to win a game yet this season, but we still don't wanna be complacent. A decent side out with a few youngsters, but with a bit of quality on the bench just in case. Can't really see any prblems, but dafter things have happened. Think i'll go for 3 - 0 to us, at a canter.
