Liverpool FC Forum

Not a game that i am massively excited about to be perfectly honest, but would like to see us bounce back positively from the Leicester match

Perhaps time to give Balotelli a run out and give Sterling a rest? Would love to see some of the young lads out there against this team

If we play to our full potential we should have more than enough to get past these, however if the tactics are wrong and/or the players arn't up for it we could see a shock  (again)

Batter them.  No excuses.  0 v 8

We should be up to win this competition as it would be a fitting finale for Stevie to lift this cup in May as he says goodbye. So what as a club do we need a bigger incentive to win this. Also there is unfinished business from 1988 as well. AFC WIMBLEDON 0 LIVERPOOL 3 sterling hatrick

I'd like to see Ojo get a run out, he's made the bench a few times without actually getting on and it would be a boost not just for Sheyi, but for all the lads coming through the ranks if they see his good performances in the U21's rewarded with a place in the first team starting XI.

Ojo played for the U21s today so won't be involved. Rossiter and Williams didn't play so I assume they have travelled and may make the bench.

Rumoured team:

                       Mig

            Can   Skrtel   Sakho
Manquilo                            Markovic

             Hendo      Lucus

   Gerrard                   Coutinho
                   Lambert

Yep BBC Radio Merseyside reporting the same team

This may well be the @LFC team tonight, Mignolet; Can, Skrtl, Sakho; Manquillo, Gerrard, Lucas,Henderson;Coutinho, Lambert, Markovic.

Official Confirmed team from club

Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Manquillo, Sakho, Skrtel, Can, Markovic, Lucas, Henderson, Gerrard, Coutinho, Lambert.

Substitutes: Ward, Enrique, Toure, Moreno, Borini, Balotelli, Williams.

Akinfenwa and Tubbs are an awkward pair for any defence to deal with and can finish.

We need to deal with set plays as that will be Wimbledon's main strategy and Mignolet in particular will be put under incessant pressure.

Should be no comparison if we compete and we can ill afford a cup upset this week of all weeks.

I'm not sure how that attack is going to work, Gerrard and Rickie are too slow for Coutinho. Should still win though, it's a League 2 team we're playing after all.

Anyway, who's going to mark the fat one? That guy is going to cause problems.

Tubs is a very good player. I hope this is a good game. Wimbledon are a good side and come from nothing.

I fear this game ,the above setup failed us time after time can't see it working today as well ,no matter how "weak" is the opponent.
At least he could have played one of the academy lads so we can get a taste of our future...Oh well BR is a prikkk,

Hope we smash them afraid it's going it be ugly.

its the fa cup anything can happen.....Bolton if we win......not happy

look we usually lose games due to the pace of players in the PL there is no way akinfenwa is going to beat Brendan Rodgers let alone any of our players for pace

ill go 0-9

What the f*ck? How's that not a foul? Jesus I feel sorry for the lads.
