Understood. That's the thing though, with Shaqiri injured again, there's really only the three "adult backups" (JĆ¼rgen's term) available for outfield players. These final two matches of an incredibly busy stretch will still require close to full strength teams unless he will use U23 players. It seems like most fans don't want him to do that for either match so the other choice then is to keep playing mostly the same team.
Forgot about Shaqiri being out, he was brilliant against Everton a few weeks ago & linked up really well with Origi. So was hoping they would both get the shout on Sunday.
I just can't fathom the thought of losing to Everton, they've not beaten us in nearly a decade and haven't won at Anfield in over 20 years. Obviously both of these records will come to an end eventually & I'm sure our end of season title winning DVD would completely overshadow their end of season "We won at Anfield against a load of kids" DVD but I really can't be arsed with the carry on from them.
2 more games and we'll basically have a well earned week off, with a good few players also due to come back from injury & no CL for a good while the demand on the players should substantially lessen over the coming months, so I'm hoping we can manage one final push over the next few days. Also on the flipside, If we do put out an under-strength team and end up with a draw on Sunday, that would mean a mid-week replay at Goodison park which I'm sure nobody wants
