Pre-Match: Liverpool v Accrington FA Cup 3rd Round Sat 11th Jan 12:15 KO

I expect we will make wholesale changes for this one, some fringe players getting some minutes and plenty of youth on the bench:

Jaros

Bradley
Konate (c)
Quansah
Tsimikas

Endo
Jones

Chiesa
Szoboszlai
Diaz

Nunez

Subs:

Kelleher (GK)
Nallo
Norris
Nyoni
McConnell
Ayman
Morrison
Ngumoha
Danns

Injured:

NB: Team no longer available

Rotate as much as possible, leave the big guns on the bench.

Aren't you all going to be revising your line ups after the Spurs game?

Jumped the gun with this pre match.

We've Spurs on Wednesday night

Think he'll want one of the main guys in the middle so I'd go;

                    Kelleher
Bradley - Quansah - Endo - Kostas
                    Morton
              Macca  -  Nyoni
     Chiesa   -  Nunez   -  Diaz

Yeah it's muddled me up for sure.

You can play your under 16s and still win this one.

Alright, calm down Prince Andrew!!

Bloody hell  Pete that’s a low blow even for you. 😂 Have I offended you recently. 

Definitely wholesale changes for this 1. Similar team to the Soton cup game.

Kelleher, Bradley Quansah Endo Tsimikas, Grav Morton Harvey Nyoni, Chiesa Nunez

In a 4-2-4 formation where our wide men (Harvey and Nyoni) are tucked inside.

Wouldn't even be against some more youngsters starting (namely Danns and Ngumoha), but we have others like Chiesa, Nunez and Harvey who need game time too, so cameos for both.

Nah tbh I was taking the piss in what was actually written. The wordplay involved.

I'd gladly go with the starting 11 Olly, but would like a stronger bench, just in case they're needed. You never know.

Kelleher
Trent -60
Ibou -60
Endo
Robertson -70
Szlob -70
Elliott
Morton
Chiesa
Diaz 60
Nunez

Rest as many as the best starting 11 as possible!

Will Elliott be trusted for this one? Will Grav need to play instead of Endo? Can Kelleher be trusted behind them and will Chiesa be given the nod in the hope he can trouble the plumber who plays at right back.

Over to Arne.

Rest as many as the best starting 11 as possible!

Most of them got a good run out tonight, so they shouldn't be anywhere near this. Wednesday to Tuesday, 6 days rest, is close to perfect (maybe 5 days is optimum).

Dom, I know he probably needs minutes, but such is his monumental importance to us you do not want him picking anything up in this. Konate is another who needs some minutes but again no risk can be taken.

With such a small squad and little wiggle room we cannot be taking chances here. Play the back up XI.

They both need to play especially Dom hasn't kicked  a ball in about 3 weeks

Depends if he's reported back to training in time with this illness of his

Dom needs to be playing on Tuesday (likewise Konate).

Get the needing minutes bit, but can we take a risk? That and Saturday Tuesday (away) is a quick turnaround. If we were to give him some minutes surely cannot be more than 45.

Our focus from now on in has to be the league. We struggled last year in 4 competitions and ran out of gas and the squad is even smaller tnis year. I would bin everything else. Every game catered towards the league.

Over to Arne.

If you only knew how long and loud I laughed at that last part. Well played sir, well played

Kelleher; Bradley, Endo, Nallo, Tsimikas; Morton, Jones, Elliott; Chiesa, Danns, Jota.

30 mins for Konate and Szobo to get them up to speed for Forest.

Like it, but as Rossy says Nunez to start.

The Bradley one is interesting too. Admittedly up against lower league opponents but a good, energetic showing from him and the manager may have a choice to make at right back for Forest. If he is back at his Real Madrid performance level I'd be starting him.

Dom, Konate, Bradley, all fully fit, the intensity in the team looks very different.

If like to see much more changes than we had last night for this one. Forest on Tuesday is a huge game for us.

Morton      Nyoni

Nunez

Something along those lines.

Nunez will play

He probably will but I don’t think he should.

We need to be having a look at Danns in games like this.

This would normally be an opportunity to get the fringe players out there, but under our current circumstances, I think we need the first 11 to get some form together before we face forrest.

Kelleher

Bradley
Quansah ( if he is ok )
Konate
Kostas

Endo
Jones
Elliot

Chiesa
Nunez
Danns

Not sure any point if he is going on loan Nunez needs games or goals anything that can help.going forward as he will.be needed at various points

Managed to get in one of the boxes for this with my daughter just seeing her face light up when she trots up the steps.makes it so enjoyable can't wait

Just read an article in The Athletic but how the other kid on this advert (the one you can barely see as his face isn't shown) would later become a drug addict and is currently serving a life sentence for murder. Sad story. The main kid though (the one whose face you can see) has become an actor and has had a decent career.

Nunez has to start and I'd say he has to score. Maybe kickstart him.

Iconic. We had that ad here (Ireland). One of those rare ads everyone seems to remember. The accent had a role in that I think.

Think I'd get more joy from this seeing the likes of Ngumoha and Nyoni shining than anything else, really hope they feature tomorrow.

A bonus would be Chiesa playing and looking somewhat of the player he did last season.

I agree. Nyoni plus a bit of experience alongside him in midfield is something I hope to see.
Chiesa deffo for me also has to be a shoe in.
I would have wanted Danns too to put on the shirt he loves again but apparently he's going out on loan?

Morton has a good level of experience to sit alongside him. Harvey too if he gets the nod as the #10, if not Szobo would be very helpful to be that figure to guide them through.

I think more important is the experience behind the young players, so they feel more free to express themselves. Therefore Kostas & Endo a must.

Not sure what's happening with Danns, surely we can still play him tomorrow and then depart on loan straight after if that's the plan?

Not sure even a hatrick will save him.

12 years and counting.

Countless multi million pound flops come and gone.
Has seen multiple change of managers.
A change of ownership.

What....Who.....is there left to save the once great, now fallen Utd?

Federico Chiesa, big game lad. Dreamed of taking his game to the next level after winning the Euros, now after many false dawns, ready for a start v Accrington Stanley.

Took you lot 30 years so you’ve no room to talk. 😉

We keep telling you, in those 30 years we still won a champions league....got to a final of another. Won a treble, won the odd domestic cup + had 2-3 strong title challenges. We saw a player like Suarez light up the league, one of the best seasons ever witnessed in PL history.

I'd take that over floating about in mid table for 12 consecutive years besides like 1 season under Ole where you finished 2nd, about 40 points behind City 

"Sex masochism" FFS 
"Football heritage" Oh cry me a river 
"Ole at the wheel, we're back....our famous night in Paris"   

"Who is Rangnick, I've never heard of him. He is disrespectful" the Utd player says on Piers Morgan uncensored 
"THE CHOSEN ONE" HAHAHAHA 

This is an embodiment of what Utd have become.

Not sure what your recent agenda is all about as you’ve never really moaned before. 🤷‍♂️ Do your rose tints only remember the good the snake Suarez  did for you and not the bad?

He fcuked you lot over, the club and more importantly KK. By all means continue your recent beef with me but I don’t take the bait la. 🖕🖕🖕

Move on lad for your own good as it’s wasted trying to get me to implode. 

Maybe take the sh*te to the Manc thread

Had a ticket for this tomorrow but just given it up due to serious serious man flu.

Maybe he shouldn’t have started it in the first place Pj. 🤷‍♂️ I only responded to his beef. 😂

Know how you feel mate. Like I tell my mrs. Going on about the pain and stress of child birth. She's only had two kids !  I have to experience

Think will see young Rio tomorrow off the bench

You love to see it.

Put the tie to bed early on. Back in the day, outside chance one of these lads would leave one on players like Mo. Get a bit carried away, don't see it so much these days.

Like Jayden Danns to get some minutes. He showed a bit last season but has had a few injuries. Elliott should start. Early kick off probably too early for Mo.

That doesn't look like a bad mix there Skol. I think we could do it with that line up. Need a couple of upgrades on the bench though. Just in case. Funny old game eh !

Leave the big guns on the bench.

Might play Jota and Nunez as they haven't had all that much game time. Odds on Nunez hitting the woodwork..1/5.

Kelleher..Brad..Endo..Qu ansah..Kostas..Elliott.. Morton..Nyoni..Chiesa..J ota..Nunez.

Trent ,Konate and Szoboszlai will all start and young Rio

Rumours are that Chiesa doesn’t start.

Ngumoha, Trent, Konate and Dom all starting apparently.

If a 16 Yr old starts before him in a game like this then I am afraid it doesn't look good

Yeah writing is on the wall for him

Yeah writing is on the wall for him

£10 million squandered..

Yeh it certainly doesn't look good.  I can just imagine the Italian clubs coming in like the Aqualani situation, wanting loan moves with us paying a big fraction of his wages, contributing towards the cost of paper for his payslips, admin charges of bank transfers .....etc.

Rumours are that Chiesa doesn’t start.

Really? Astonishing.
Am beginning to feel very sorry for him as he seemed to be at the least a quality squad player and if he can't get in against Accy when is he going to?

Nunez has to start and I'd say he has to score. Maybe kickstart him.

surely you have to start In the first place to be kickstarted?
