Pre Match Thread: Liverpool vs Notts County, League Cup 27th Aug 2013

 4-0 Borini to get a hat trick! Yeah I said it!

Dont underestimate notts county past results have backfired on us because of this. If we play at 90 per cent and they play at 100% we will lose. probably they will park the bus and try to score on the break. Rest key players to prepare for united. Try borino who has been scoring, sterling,ibe,wisdom, jones.

So it looks the first XI will be

                                    Mignolet
                  Johnson   Toure   Wisdom  Cissokho
                               Gerrard   Allen
                                    Alberto
                           Borini             Ibe
                                   Sturridge

I would say you see a pretty different side to the one on the weekend and the one going to play next Sunday vs Manure

-----------------Jones----------------
Wisdom---Skrtel--Agger--Cisskho
------------Allen----Lucas-----------
----------------Alberto---------------
Sterling------Borini----------Ibe----

Sorry I got it wrong, its Sterling in that picture no Sturridge,
so the front line is Sterling and Ibe either side of Borini with support from Alberto behind.

Press Conference 26.08.13

Is Pacheco still with the club? Be an ideal game for Dani this one if he's still around.

yeah, if the weather is nice, he could sell ice creams in the stand.  Or scope out Notts county for some work experience.

I would want a strong team out for this one because a cup win is essential this year, in my opinion.

                         Jones/Ward*

Kelly        Wisdom      Skrtel**  Cissokho

                Allen              Lucas

                        Coutinho

Sterling              Borini             Alberto

*Would like to see Ward get a run out but not sure it'll happen.
**Not sure if Skrtel is injured or not. If so, Agger or Toure

I wouldn't drop mignolet, he's still finding his feet and needs all the games we can give him.

Hearing that Skrtel's not fit enough for tomorrow, hoping we play Lucas & Sturridge, both still looking a little short in match fitness.

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.

I do...

Only 3 competitions this season and one of them does not start until January...so no excuses...a strong team is a must.

For this game I would leave out only Johnson (liability) and Aspas in order to have a look at Alberto, and also possibly Sturridge dependent on how he is feeling after a long absence. So...

                               Mignolet

Kelly          Toure                       Agger      Enrique

                        Lucas          Henderson

        Gerrard            Coutinho                Alberto

             
                                  Borini

Jones, Wisdom, Allen, Aspas, Sturridge, Sterling, Ibe

I just feel it is vitally important we keep a settled side. Tiredness, too many games cannot be used as an excuse to change the team this season. We have only played 2 games anyway. If players are playing well they stay in...if people get injured, suspended or lose form then that is different. Change for the sake of change does nobody any favours!!
                               

     

I do...

Do you actually?

It's gas that 2 girls I've asked you about from Belfast, you've known both! Small world and all that.

Don't imagine Notts County troubling us too much, no disrespect,
Albeit it's early in the season I think Brendan will change things around,

I'd go with;
                       Jones
    Kelly.   Wisdom. Agger(c) Cissokho
               Allen.      Lucas
         Ibe.       Alberto.   Sterling
                       Borini

Bench;  mignolet. Flanagan, Henderson,
             Roddan, Aspas, Enrique

Should be plenty to take us thru

No, I don't actually but I am making it my goal to find her. I forgot about the other one I do know though.

i hope they play a strong team tommorow and beat them like 6-0

 I am picking that Brendan will play the younger lads,just hope he keeps some experience in the team in case things start to go pear shaped.Having said that I am expecting a comfortable win for our lads.

i think this sort of game is ideal for borini if he can get a goal or 2 that would give him a lot of confidence for the league games coming up
