the palace game is done, just take our beating by liverpool like men and then move on, but then utd away, brilliant, we got torn apart by an attack force of granted, bolasie, but also fraiser campbell, jason puncheon and joe ledley, what about when we have falcao, di maria, van persie and rooney against our defence? we could break football records, and not in a good way, its a scary thought the results that may be upon us, personally against swansea I would line up like this:

joel-see how he does, if howard continues to mess up then joel should be out there to prove himself

hibbert-just put him there, we need someone there

browning-pacy and strong, can play too, give him a chance please bobby, he could end up like stones

alcaraz-we have browning for the pace, use alacaraz's experience and ability on the ball, have two footballing centre backs for once

garbutt-oviedo isn't fit and I don't want to risk baines, give this lad a chance, he's 21 soon, should be ready

gibson-need to get him playing games, a run out against swansea would be good

besic-just give him a game, have gibbo sit back and allow besic to free roam with the ball, something different

mcaleny-another who should be ready, he's nearly 23, let him use his pace

long-another one, just give him a run out

atsu-another chance for him, run at rangel or tiendalli, neither are lightening, give him game time

eto'o let him dictate play again and let the more pacy mcaleny and atsu run in behind

subs
howard, grant, mcgeady, pienaar?, baines, distin and hope

please just give the kids a go, its an unimportant competition, if they do well then we have some more options, if not, at least we know and won't be moaning for them constantly

Not a bad shout for the team against Swansea would like to see Kone in the squad if fit though

Seriously you're just writing a game off as a defeat? I know your record at anfield isn't great but how can you do that. I'd be looking at this as your best opportunity in a while to beat us at anfield . I expect us to be up for the game but we have struggled thus far, although I believe that'll change by Christmas. It's embarrassing that you're defeated already!

{Ed025's Note - its just a bit of pessimism AM, we are a bit deflated after the palace game mate, as im sure you are after fat sams crew back scuttled your lot, im hoping for a good game to the cries of...merseyshi*e, merseyshi*e, merseyshj*e.. :)

Ha ha I was deflated to but if you can't be optimistic what is the point in football? I personally believe it will be a close and very competitive game. With let's be honest, both of ours teams playing pretty Sh**e at the moment! :)

{Ed025's Note - may the worst team lose mate.. :)
