      The u23s? There are 7 or 8 lads in the first team squad who arnt getting any football and id be happy to see all of them start. That's the first team squad ... not the u23s. Anyone wanting a team of kids out there tonight is both unrealistic and abit daft.

      And there are quite a few of those here. It will be a rotated team for sure, and this is a great opportunity to get young players like Morton a chance to play, players coming back from injury minutes to get back in shape as well, fringe players a chance to get some minutes and regular starters to keep their rhythm. Having 5 subs makes it even sweeter.

      It will likely be disjointed and ugly at times today since that is what happens when you play 10 field players who seldom or never play together, but it will have plenty of benefits to all involved.

      It is, though unsurprising all the usual few keep saying "it's just for the money", even when the boss lays it all out. Such is the level of daftness.

      I’ve seen it mate, I’ve heard it too

      But if you think he says exactly  what he thinks in press conference you’re naive mate

      What’s his favourite saying in press conferences?

      I’m not writing the headlines for you

      So what do you think he does? Like we all do, doesn’t say exactly what he thinks, and says what creates the least problems

      It is, though unsurprising all the usual few keep saying "it's just for the money", even when the boss lays it all out. Such is the level of daftness.


      I didn’t say just for money… his main concern will be rhythm

      We must only rotate twice a season then because we usually get knocked out in the 3rd round of each Cup very year.

      Tonight is an ideal chance ... cant risk a threadbare squad getting more injuries in a game with nothing on it and then complain about the amount of games.

      We have done the job and earned the right to rotate. And to be totally honest if people don't like it then tough. Nobody does us any favors. Id love to see Porto or Milan advance at the expense of athletico.


      Klopp isn’t a rotator too much


      If fit the following will play ever league and CL match


      Alisson
      TAA
      vVD
      Robbo

      Fabinho
      Henderson

      Mane
      Mo


      Bobby and Jota will be the choice depending on opposition

      Matip will 9/10 be next to VVD


      The midfield is the one area where he does make changes more regualry

      So i'm naive for taking what he boss says which is consistent with what he has said in the past, but you and the others are correct in the assessment that it's about money. Sure.

      Do you not read where I say his main concern is rhythm? Or just simply ignore it?

      And yes if you think he tells the press exactly what he thinks… yes you’re naive

      Gordon is ineligible anyway mate

      You can have your unregistered B list who can play but he’s not on that either as you have to have been at the club for 3 years or something to qualify for that

      £2M for a group stage win?  Don't expect a League Cup line up.

      Fingers crossed nobody picks up an injury.

      Looking forward to this. Love European nights and for a change itll be a relaxed night, though im not sure thats a positive!!

      Whoever starts lets just hope were sharp and sluck. Would be a bonus if the crowd could join in from 8 through to around 9.50 and not in sporadic bursts

      As I posted yesterday I think well go near full team, Konate in for 1 of the lads and maybe Tiki in for one of the front 3....if thats the case I just pray no injuries

      Come on Redmen

      Just play the fringe players and kids.

      Rhythm will only be a concern if our strong team starts and loses and picks up injuries.


      If our fringe players lose there will be no rhythm issues.

      I’d much rather we played a stronger team in the league cup quarter final now than this dead rubber.

      Would have liked to see Kelleher. The rest makes sense if Divock is not yet recovered.
