cc_star Posted 19 July 2017 Posted 19 July 2017 13:30 live on Sky Sports It's fair to say the crowd will be mainly reds in this game Probably two 11s again playing 45mins each
lgfualol Posted 19 July 2017 Posted 19 July 2017 I wonder if we will actually try win this. Schmeichel Simpson Morgan Maguire Albrighton Iborra James Fuchs Mahrez Vardy Slim
Guest the fox Posted 19 July 2017 Posted 19 July 2017 don't start mahrez, leave him to the second half so we can win it! a friendly trophy or not, it's still a trophy. i can't manage to watch the same second half again. an on form mahrez coming off the bench .

cc_star Posted 19 July 2017 Author Posted 19 July 2017 I would like to see us experiment with different tactics.... but given how limited we were Vs WBA as soon as Vardy came on & we played it long with Mahrez off, I'm not sure we've got the capability to play anything other than 4411/442 Liverpool played 4411 Vs Palace today I suppose the thing to remember is it's about fitness & preparedness, getting through the games rather than re-inventing the wheel - But I would just love for us to have something else in our bag of tricks than old faithful
foxes21 Posted 19 July 2017 Posted 19 July 2017 I'd like to see Musa at LW for this one, if the rumours about him doing well in training are true. Think his pace would be useful defensively because he can help Fuchs out by doubling up on Salah. Then if Clyne pushes forward, Musa will have lots of space on the counter.
foxes21 Posted 19 July 2017 Posted 19 July 2017 Schmeichel Simpson, Morgan, Maguire, Fuchs Mahrez, Drinkwater, James, Musa Barnes Vardy
Clever Fox Posted 19 July 2017 Posted 19 July 2017 I think there will be a good few changes whichever lineup starts, If only to help with the heat and humidity. Maybe a strong start try and get ahead then just frustrate them for the rest of the game. Fuchs will need a hand with Salah so we may see Chilwell get a run out. I'd like to see James get another half game to see how he gets on against good opposition. It would be nice to win another Trophy if only to keep moral high and the players focused.

I think Chilwell and Gray are on holiday still, so not with the team. Musa deserves some time, even if we are just using it as a shopwindow for him. The lads done good today, but a bit blunt going forward against a typical Pulis defence. The new Spaniard looked commanding and the youth players gave a reasonable show. Tactically it was less good, as the best crosses were second half, with the main target man gone off.
FireFox Posted 19 July 2017 Posted 19 July 2017 Must win. Start Kasper, Fuchs, James, Mahrez, and Vardy please.

Thanks, I didn't realize they weren't in Hong Kong. Musa does deserve some time if only as you say to showcase him. He doesn't have the defensive qualities to play the midfield role. His best position i believe is in and around the Box. A bit like Michael Owen used to play for Liverpool. Pace when needed, but also the ability to find space in tight area's. That's not Shakey's style and so I don't see him having any long term future here. I also liked the young lads especially Moore Although you have to allow for the fact that there were no flying tackles. But still they dealt well with anything presented to them. I'd say the next move is to get them out to a Championship club on Loan. All around it was a good workout with no injuries. On to Saturday and i expect a stronger lineup.

Foxxed Posted 20 July 2017 Posted 20 July 2017 Would be good if we showed we could be creative when we sub Mahrez. Barnes seems our only other option currently which isn't amazing.

nnfox Posted 20 July 2017 Posted 20 July 2017 We tend to struggle against Liverpool away. If you offered me a point now, I'd probably take it.

It's funny but years ago we always used to be there bogie team. Remember one year we were not going so well but still did the double on them. 3-1 win for us.
UPinCarolina Posted 20 July 2017 Posted 20 July 2017 Will have the crowd almost entirely on their side. I like our chances.

Cincinnati Fox Posted 20 July 2017 Posted 20 July 2017 It will be used as a training exercise, the team picked and substitutions will be based on preparation of our players for the season. There will be no focus on picking a team to counter Liverpool's strengths
Aus Fox Posted 21 July 2017 Posted 21 July 2017 Random question: if we signed Jonny Evans today, would he be cup-tied for the final?
