downunder Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) do we give our Euro 2008 players a few weeks off? Surely a break now can do them no harm, do we need them in the next 2 matches? Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, I haven't read all the threads. Edited May 1, 2008 by downunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbeloa probbaly too. We have a large squad, why dont we carry on using the fringe players? I am not saying we don't go for wins, but I think we can do without most the players you have mentioned.

McBain Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Nemeth, Insua, Plessis and anyone else considered capable of being in the first team next season should play these games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsyla Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I want to see us t*** Man City so that the fans are on a high for the lap of honour, yes use some of the kids but lets get behind the lads and show them we appreciate there effort this season. I will of course be booing Riise's every touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFletcher Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 To be honest, I'd consider last night Riise's last game and give Insua the full ninety in the next two matches. Again, I'd play Nemeth ahead of Crouch and Voronin, who will probably be on their way. We can't change our position in the league, so this is an ideal chance to blood the youngsters in alongside other members of the first team, rather than with a shadow squad.

Guest Snorky Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 At this moment in time I dont give two farts about the rest of the season. I hate football at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toxteth O'Grady Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'd tell Torres, Babel and Pepe to go and have a two week holiday somewhere before joining up with the Spain squad. They'll barely get a rest for next season if they go far in the tournament. And I'd give Nemeth, Insua and the likes of San Jose a run out in the last two games.

goodrobotusses Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'd like to see a combination of the big guns and the higher potential reserves (Nemeth, Insua, etc). Any players likely to be shipped out to be kept out of the squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PaulMcC Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I want to see us play a strong team against City with 3 youngsters in too. Maybe 442 with Gerrard and Torres starting. I'd like Torres to break Van Nistelrooy's league goal record too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 id like gerrard to play some games in the middle of a 4 with babel and torres up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toxteth O'Grady Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) Babel and Torres together would be ace, but I think Rafa sees it as one or the other and will use both of them as the lone striker next season. He just doesn't trust Gerrard enough to play him in a two man midfield. Edited May 1, 2008 by Toxteth O'Grady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFletcher Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'd have Skrtel over Carra in that formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFletcher Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Skrtel's much better on the ball. Having Carra in the side automatically means possession stalling if he receives it - whether that's through his hesitation at who to pass to or through a decision to hoof.

Guest Toxteth O'Grady Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) Utter nonsense, but carry on. Carra is in there for his defensive duties, which are second to none, and pretty important at this level. When Skrtyle has reached that level of brilliance, then he can expect a starting place instead of JC.

I'd like Torres to break Van Nistelrooy's league goal record too. Insua playing at left back, perhaps Nemeth getting 45 minutes alongside Torres in a 4 4 2.
