Norwich City vs Liverpool - League Cup - 21 September 2021 - 19h45

[magneto]

Away at Norwich for the League Cup 3rd round. Seems like Gordon is bound to start as he was rested for the PL2 clash yesterday.

Team selection likely dependent on injuries, as I'd like to see Neco come in for Milner at RB and Milner go back to CM.

Speaking of Ibe, think I read he's had a lot of mental problems. Hope for his sake he'll get through it.

[Jarg Armani]

Gordon and a few of the others were rested for yesterday's U19/23 game, reckon we will see some yoof.

Yeah he's been suffering with depression - I guess the way his career's gone can't have helped

Looks like subsequent to that article Derby cancelled his contract and he's not picked up another club since. Football's a harsh game sometimes.

Hope he finds the help he needs and gets some kind of career back on track

Ah that's not good. Now I feel bad for wheeling that old gag out again.

You weren't to know mate - to be honest I'm sure depression amongst sportsmen & women is a far bigger issue than we know about.

Yep, can't see, and wouldn't expect to see any first team regulars playing.

As Surf say's, I hope Naby gets a long run out.

[mofus77]

If we're in a world where we need Origi then he needs to start and hopefully play the 90, preferably upfront.

[Gethin]

No Trent, Neco, Bobby or Thiago for this. Thiago will miss Brentford too. 
 

Kelleher will start

Watching Pep Lijnders presser cos I'm bored.

Always struck by what a good bloke he seems - a real enthusiast.

[Alonso]

Jones confirmed starter as well

[Sion]

Hopefully Bradley and Gordon play but wouldn't put it past us to do something mad like start Mane. 

[Aritro]

Looking forward to seeing how Gordon fares if this is playing.  One of the main points of interest in terms of tracking player performance and development this season, given we have a team we know inside out now.

[PaulMcC186]

I hope we get through so the young players get more chances.

Gordons alive?

[Nebraska Red]

You would think Norwich would put out a more youthful team, but their manager might look to this as a confidence booster to a really bad first 11.

I hope not.

I expect them to go strong.

I'm just looking forward to seeing the next up and coming youngsters, if i'm being honest. A win in a bonus.

The Kop when he dribbles into the area... 

 

DIIIIIIIIIIVE !!!!!

F A B Gordon.

 

We have Virgil and Gordon, just need a Scott, John and Alan for the complete set.
