POLL - upcoming Derby/SF

[Ring master]

i want us to win both off course,but we are stuck-play Lukaku away to Liverpool and he gets injured etc,
Lose bad and people moan why didnt we play proper team-we have good squad etc,martinez will probably say we have that many games that everyone will play etc anyway

@GrandOldTeam has asked this on Twitter: with the Derby being rearranged for SF week, would you rest players for the Liverpool game?

On balance, no.

We have a strong enough squad......just rotate the personnel.

For instance, Del in for Lennon or Mo for McCarthy or Baines for Oviedo or Kev for The Clev would not weaken the team IMO.

The only one I would be inclined to leave out would be Rom.....not to "rest" him as such, just to make sure he didn't pick up a knock and miss Wembley.

Take off three key players when we're winning 3-0 . Have Besic giving each rs player a " warning " during the pre-match handshakes

Could imagine if the roles were reversed,the r/s would be saying, "it's your C F, we have a real Final coming up".

Exactly.

We send the stiffs out and shrug.

If we somehow contrived to get a result, then the fume would be epic.

We have a squad for a reason, we could field a very decent side without playing any of our key players and risk them sniding us for the game that will define our season.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

We all are. But this isn't Fifa.

Can't we just exit and not save and then replay it if we get injuries?

 

[sageyefc]

Either way people will still fume

 

[Deggo]

Yes but there is no way of knowing that at the time is there

You would be up in arms if Henderson snapped Lukaku and we had to start Kone at Wembley

I'd be up in arms if kone was one on one in injury time with the game 0-0 or 0-1 and he did his usual

You can't think the way you're thinking

Howard
Hibbert - Galloway - Gibson - Oviedo
Osman
Mirallas ---- Pienaar
Niasse - Kone - JRod​

 

[Goat]

We would only lose abar 8-0 with that team.

 

[orly]

Full strength and biff them all over the shop

Anything else is cowardice.

GERREM BLUES

Howard
Hibbert - Galloway - Gibson - Oviedo
Osman
Mirallas ---- Pienaar
Niasse - Kone - JRod​

Hibbert scoring the winner!

 

[bignev23]

Being so low down the table makes it harder to justify playing a full strength team, myself I'd just put a competitive team out that I'd think wouldn't get humiliated and hope for the best knowing the semi is a must win match and making sure of a full strength team for that. Sacrilege I know but it is hard to care that much about this Derby now.

 

[Goat]

Hibbert scoring the winner!

For THEM!

Rest Mori, Lukaku, Barkley, Lennon, Barry for me, to be honest if he rests loads of important players I wont care as long as we win that semi, a win at Anfield is nowhere near as important, just a mid table dead rubber.

Play Graeme Jones in the inverted-triquarterista role.
