CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I think Jose might play a very weakened side just to make a point to the FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT is not confirmed to be out of the second leg. It looked like a sprain in the ankle or a "bad/incomplete step" (not sure what the term is in English). If that is the case, he'd be back for the second leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Etoo, Terry, Hazard and Cech all missing? Anyone else? Thats almost half of our team, nearly all best individuals.Doubt we can win without them, it wont realy matter anyway, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeboii 1,844 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Would like to see a youth player play (Loftus-Cheek, Ake, Kalas or the like) to give them experience and to give the middle finger to the FA. Hopefully a little playing time for MvG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodIsBlue 291 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I can understand why this needs to thought over carefully but its not an easy decision, Mourinho might be bluffing about the league. Even though at this point I wouldn't bet on us to win the league it would be mighty unprofessional of us to just give up on a game like Liverpool at Anfield. Ever since Pulis came in trips to Selhurst Park have been sobering events for every club. If they can derail City and Liverpool for us we would feel like clowns throwing away Sunday's game, fielding some weak as piss team. I'm serious Bolasie from the left and Puncheon from the right is going require focus from any team, the way Pulis have those two set up at least. We have to be considerate of fitness for Atletico but we should go out 'guns a blazing' in the league. darrus, Azpinator and Stats 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Im pretty sure Mou is bluffing, he said the would play the youth at The Emirates in the coc. Furthermore we just cannot play a weakened side, even if winning at Anfield may or may not be too late as far as the title is concerned, we still need a win and a draw to secure top 3 and a win for top 4. It will take a catastrophic fuck up to fall to 4th and especially 5th now but i would rather we eliminated the possibility asap, lose this one and draw vs Norwich while Arse and Everton win their next 2, all off a sudden were dragged into a last day top 4 fight from absolutely nowhere.

Henrique 9,133 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 For me its clear some players wont be playing this one. Lampard, Mikel and JT out of action, we are running out of options in key positions, since Matic is not able to play in UCL:-Luiz will be rested, he is our only DM available for the 2nd leg.-Playing any of our defenders would be as insane as well. Azi, JT and Ivanovic are playing game after game, at the end of the season its not difficult to get injured, or they might get into the CL game too tired and with more chances of getting injured during that game. Since Ivanovic did not play yesterday, he is the only that might play. I'm sure both Cahill and Azi would be rested, specially Cahill. We dont have more options to replace him, the only one is Luiz, but that would leave with no one to hold the midfield. Cole will play against Liverpool to get more playing time. He needs it.-Ramires would be rested as well.Mourinho gave huge clues that he pretends to field a VERY weak team, otherwise there would be no reason to ask for Roman's permission or something like that.

Henrique 9,133 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 More reasonable squad would be this one:Hilario; Ake, Kalas, Ivanovic; Mikel, Matic, Van Ginkel, Ashley Cole; Oscar, Schurle, Salah; Torres.Not only what is needed in terms of preserving our players for what is left to fight for (PL dream is dead in the water, and we probably will end up in 3rd position even we win at Anfield), but Jose would get more attention for one very important subject: PL just don't care about what the clubs are doing in international level. While in Spain and Germany they are helping their clubs in those situations, PL seems to ignore it. Fielding a very weak team in such important game (for City and Liverpool) would be a indication that PL needs to make some changes in order to stay relevant in the long term.My observation: its probably whats on Mourinho's mind. Atletico will be playing Valencia away from home hours laters in the same day we face Liverpool. Another nonsensical complaining from The Special One.
