NeoGeo7 10,260 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about a bounce game between now and next Thursday. Its a long time without a match for a team that looks incredibly rusty. Sadiq and Coulibaly would surely need a game as well before being put into the first team in a competitive game against (presumably) Osijek. That said if Gerrard and Allen are going to focus on getting a striker and a creative midfielder in during this time I would rather we did that.

Between leg 1 and 2 of the 2nd qualifying and I think we definitely need some game time before leg 1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,257 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Don't see why we couldn't play the players in our 1st team squad against each other. A proper competitive 90 min game. His preferred 9 plus sadiq and coulibaly at the expense of Morelos plus any midfielder. Tell the 2nd team to prove they deserve to be taking the place of the player in their position in 1st team. And if Middleton for instance performs better than Murphy or Windass then fuck it, play him on Thursday. Too many coasting and thinking they're guaranteed picks, need a rocket up their arses. This would likely be competitive enough and benefit the full squad not just the new 2 guys and the rest of the starting 11. Ruffle a few feathers too.

It’s a good shout, they did something like this in Spain but not a full 90 mind. The hooded line is spot on. Continue to play underperformers (even if you think you have no other option) and you will breed complacency and it matters not one big that Steven Gerrard is your manager if he continues to reward poor performances with starting place the following game they’ll never up their levels. I was really hoping for Wilson to join as he’d have played in Windass’ role and we’d see whether windass was up for the challenge or throw a hissy fit. With Morelos I’m hoping Sadiq gets the nod (clearly the manager thought it was too much to ask of Rudden). we are severely short of options up top so I can only hope we get a couple of signings in these positions before next Thursday. Solanke and Woodburn would do nicely but Liverpool aren’t in any rush to loan them out. SeparateEntityMyArse 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
