Amongst the fear if getting absolutely turned over with this weakened team on Sunday
Is anyone actually a little bit excited to see a few of the younger and fringe players playing ?
I hate watching us get beat more than anything and there is no doubt in my mind that liverfools crowing game to pretty much win them the league will come in a blaze of goals against our fringe sqaud.
But wouldn't it be great to see players like ake Christiansen kalas and maybe even baker and feruz playing.( not that they will)
Do we think that we will see and almost unrecognisable side put out ? Or will there be a few old heads in there
Matic and salah will obviously play which will help but do we think players like baker will play ?
Is anyone a little excited

It's just Jose trying to take the pressure off at a crucial part of the season. He has the world believing he has no expectations at Anfield.

Agree with this and it's just not in Jóse's makeup to looses a game on purpose. Whatever team Jóse puts out he will expect them to at least perform to a high level, maybe not get the result but they have to perform.
I don't mind Jóse I think he's funny and does what he does to protect his club and players.
But I'd disagree on the whole CL campagin next season being a massive impact to our season. Now of course it will make things harder for us and if we went into next season with the same squad we have now we'd be in trouble but we knew last summer we'd no Europe and our squad size reflects that this season. Had we been in Europe we would have been forced to either keep some of the palyers we loaned out or sign some more.
But BR and the owners will be fully aware that out current squad is not big or strong enough to cope with both while remaining competitive so we will have to spend this summer.
BR and FSG might have little experience in dealing with CL football but as a club we've more then enough, we may not be able to put a run together like we have this season but I don't think the extra CL games will have a massive impact on us providing we get the required players in this summer.

If as reported....Ake, Christensen, Kalas and Baker start then I won't be best pleased.
Then again the tabloids did have us believe and convinced that Luiz would start at RB against Atletico

So what do you think you need?
For me you need at least one top quality CB maybe two.
I am also unconvinced by Mignolet...

To be honest, the only players we really need to rest are the defence as we've got more than enough depth in the midfield and attacking areas of our team. We really can't afford another injury to our back-line so it wouldn't surprise me to see Kalas given game somewhere in the defence.
Other than that the team pretty much picks itself from players who have been in and around the first team all season.

We surely won't start with Hilario will we?

I think we need a right footed CB providing we keep Agger, Sakho and Skrtel, basically a bette rplayer to come in for Toure.
I also think we need another forward player of quality who can play as a striker or a wide forward, another midfielder and a left back, they're my 4 position I feel we need to add but we need to get quality players in who can come straight into the first 11.
As for Ming, I'd stick with him for next season anyway as I think we've more pressign areas and even though he's weak on the high ball and coming off his line and his distribution is poor he's good at one on ones and Shot stopping and he's not a bad keeper, I'd rather we spent money on a different area of the team.
So really we need 4 quality additions to come in and then we've a few players who were on loan and so shoudl come back in and boost the numbers, honestly we need to spend 80 - 100 million IMO to make us competitive in both the league and the cl.
If we don't spen that much we will struggle, no point in gettign into the CL and then not investing in the squad to ensure we stay in it.

No reason for Schwarzer not to play both games. Will do him good to get more game time before the Leti game.
We'd be screwed if he got injured though.

I think our midfield will be all the better for not having Ramires in it frankly...
Depends also on whether Liverpool get the jitters, & start getting all desperate
doubt it though
