Well, side is pretty much as I'd have expected, apart from Sterling. What happened to 'we need to be careful with the lad', I'm surprised he is playing - if he got injured in this one, would be some tough questions. An option would be to use Suso instead, and give him some time. Still, must mean that BR feels it's a tough test, and wants to win it. Also, it's a chance to Raheem in a side/attack with Lallana and Markovic. Good opportunity for those guys to get some game time under their belts in a 'not so high pressure match'. They badly need confidence. Decent looking 2nd string defense imo, on paper, hopefully they can do OK. Chances too for Rossiter and moreso Rickie to maybe get on the scoresheet at home, would be nice.
Makes for an interesting match. Really hope for the lads sake they perform and get the result. Think they will ... yes Harry, I do feel lucky, punk!
CMOM YOU REDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
