Fully rotate the squad. If we win, dont change it until the final(if we make it that far). If we lose, who cares. This is a crap competition. We have more imporant tasks at hand.

Doubt Poch will fully rotate. He likes to play strong teams against PL competition and then he'll get praised to the high heavens for it. Even though it will be detrimental to our goals this season.

Bottom line is, i couldnt give a flying fuck about this competition and do not view it as a chance for a trophy. Its like a pre season cup during the season. Very much a small cup. If you want a domestic trophy, go for the league or even the FA Cup(which i also hope we dont go for. Go for the league)

Do you really think we're in the position to be choosy? One cup in 17 years mate...

Can't wait until later when we lose and all the doom an gloom merchants come out and start accusing Poch of not valuing the competition because he chose to rotate.

Even if we win there will still be someone moaning about something, so enjoy it before Team 'Tard come out in full force.

On the train now, buzzing for this. Sure it might be a weakened side but it's still waiting cup game and we need a trophy this decade. Plus- always nice to beat the scousers. COYS

I guess Poch chooses surprisingly strong 11 for this, we don't want to loose for Liverpool. Even if we play many youngsters, I'm hopeful and optimistic, even excited! Coys.

fully rotated. if you are a squad player you will be waiting for this chance to perform. imagine how they would feel if the same 11 who plays CL, EPL plays in this this again.

I'm looking forward to see what the youngers do in this, Winks, Josh, GKN, CCV...see how far their level is, even if we lose it would be a really good test for them and good experience. I guess this is a match that will show Poch further evidence who is actually ready to play in the first team as well.

Later?

Poch is in a no-win situation now - unless, of course, he wins while playing youngsters. For a certain group of supporters, Cup games must be used to play academy products - to give those players their only chance to prove themselves. For a group of supporters, Cup games must be played at full strength to ensure our greatest chance of winning a trophy.

If Poch plays youth - he obviously does not care about winning, and therefore must hate the club. If Poch plays a full-strength squad, he obviously hates the academy, and therefore must hate the club.
