The Quick Brown Fox Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 Another opportunity to embed the footballing style Enzo is trying to get into them. Rotate a few players but 100% play for the win. With the squad we have, we should be going for the league and cups. The amount of rotation he's doing in the league games, we won't tire through the season like others. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd absolutely select Fatuwu, Winks, Ndidi, etc. We've got to play to win - it's unlikely Liverpool will play their best players so we do have a slight chance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 He will put a strong team out, think he will see this as an important test. I’d definitely want to rest people personally though, long season ahead. Think Coady makes his debut. I’d play: Stolarczyk Faes Coady Justin Choudhury Casadei Marcal Akgun KDH Albrighton Iheanacho I don’t think that is what he will play but there’s a few things I’d want to look at. - Great opportunity to see Coady whilst recognising that Vestergaard is playing very well - I’ve deliberately chosen Casadei in the deeper role, I’ve not been impressed with him as an 8 but he’s tidy in possession and physical. And I don’t feel we have a lot of cover there until Braybrooke is fit. Good chance to see if he can play that role if Winks gets injured. - Albrighton comes in to support Justin and Casadei down that side. Gets minutes into his legs, think we will need every body in the squad this season. - Can’t see Daka getting a look in. We look light in defence. Can’t see Souttar in the wide CB role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fixture list is full enough as it is, cup runs are just a complication - this season has a solitary goal. ...wouldn't the game be past their bedtime at about halftime!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevosevic Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 We have enough midweek league games as it is. We have 38 league games to play, that’s a whole premier league season but beginning in October. We really don’t need this fixture this year. In previous years we could win this competition but right now we can’t. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfox Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 Can see that we should be looking to win but we still have the need get back into the Prem. If we play fringe players and Liverpool do play a strong team it could really knock the confidence of those players... equally, those players could make their mark.

AjcW Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 So for what it's worth.... I think it's far too early in the season to be worrying about 'focussing on the league' and actually given that we've had a break from Sat to Weds and then don't play until Sunday lunch, I see no reason why he'd do anything other than make 4 or 5 changes like he has been doing for midweek league games. It's all about momentum and learning the style of play. We're in a league where you can win 7 in a row at the end of the season and jump from lower mid table to the play offs, it's ridiculous to be saying 'play the kids', we've no idea what's coming down the road, but surprisingly for the championship there's a rather large gap between us and 4th at this stage! We've got more than enough of a squad rotate and still be strong. Some area's are a little concerning for sure, for example I wouldn't play JJ if Doyle has got an injury. But other than that I think it'll just be like a normal midweek league game level of rotation. Absolutely no reason to change the goalkeeper either! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXSE Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 This is just another opportunity to help embed the new style of play. It's also our only realistic route in to European competition next year! 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 i’m really quite annoyed that winks didn’t just wave an imaginary card at the ref and take a yellow at the end of the game. Would have been the perfect time to take the ban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM1968 Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 I think we will go for it. Enzo seems the sort of guy who wants to win. On the other hand Klopp and Liverpool are going well. So who knows really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRBYFOX93 Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 It will be a good test to see how our system works against good opposition. We’ll see a glimpse of what we will try to do next year, ‘if’ we go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchsntf Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 I believe we are playing a system..good enough for the Championship… But L’pool with their 2nd team,and us with “our less dominant players “ Will get whacked….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryDee8 Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 Both teams will play their near 2nd teams. Leicester will park the bus and wait for a counter attack moment, if we concede a goal first, Enzo football will have to come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
