UHDrive Posted 23 August 2022 Share Posted 23 August 2022 I for one are glad of the full first team ish lineup. The squad desperately needs consistently in the defensive and final thirds. Hopefully this can help towards Chelsea on Sat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get turned over after selecting an untried group of young players then he'll get even more lambasting for disrespecting the competition. We're playing Stockport. That's kind of the gig. There's no winning. Just proving competency when the gap between levels is this vast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spineless. The 'weak' team full of kids at Prem level should still beat them anyway with half a decent manager just FYI. Many in the starting 11 need minutes for the PL (Tielemans), or if they are called on in the PL (eg Vest, Cags, Praet…). Why would you not give them minutes? We’re in a right scrap in the league in case no one has noticed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rorab Posted 23 August 2022 Share Posted 23 August 2022 What this selection tells me is the only way to get into Rodgers' team as a youth player is an incredible injury crisis or smashing it on loan. Good thing we've loaned out about 3 youth players total! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying there should be a mix of young lads and experience and most importantly a chance for some of our young lads that deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 23 August 2022 Share Posted 23 August 2022 I've got no problem with Barnes playing. He didn't look that sharp against Southampton and needs the minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swalker Posted 23 August 2022 Share Posted 23 August 2022 He was always going to play an experienced side in this one, and don’t mind playing the likes of Soyuncu, Praet, Iheanacho with a point to prove. Only one for me is - he had an opportunity to send a message to Vestergaard by picking an academy CB next to Soyuncu. A “get out of the club, you’re never going to get a chance to prove yourself here” sort of message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu Posted 23 August 2022 Share Posted 23 August 2022 I’ve changed my opinion on Rodgers and I’m firmly in the out category, but to criticise him for playing a full strength team in a cup competition which is one of only three chances in to get in to Europe is trying to find issues that aren’t there. See it as a preseason friendly to get players fitness and you’ll see why we’ve gone full strength in the starting 11 and on the bench. Players need minutes and there are obvious fatigue issues within the first team squad, so giving people 90 mins, others 60 and the subs 30 mins makes complete sense to me. Why we have fatigue issues at his stage of the season is another question, but I don’t see playing this game to try and sort it out as a negative thing. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should know he's not going to try and develop academy players by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
